I'm here to speedrun getting canceled. I am Bean Dad, Coffee Wife, and West Elm Caleb all rolled into one. Do your worst, motherfuckers. I'm ready for my 15 minutes of infamy.

There is literally nothing liberal politicians love doing more than performatively denouncing fascism and then doing a bunch of stuff that obviously enables more fascism

It is not enough for politicians to simply denounce fascism or Trump's fascist forces. If you repeat fascist lies and then make decisions which further enable fascism based on those lies, what exactly does that make you?

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

Sam Nugent has played an active role in the violent displacement of unhoused people from her ward's parks, so it should be no surprise that she is unbothered by other forms of state violence.

The most important thing to remember about Bari Weiss is that she complained about Refaat Alareer on Twitter and then Israel murdered him a month later

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

I hate watching Pritzker’s stormtroopers attack people for protesting ICE but it is kinda nuts to watch liberals and reformists finally turn against him over this

I suspect one reason they hide their identities is to conceal past restraining orders and DV arrests.

Interesting choice by the party currently attempting to deploy the national guard to multiple American cities. I wonder how that will go for them.

As evening fell on the site of an ICE abduction at Lincoln and Foster, a lone protester held a vigil.

A tow truck is bringing an ICE/CBP vehicle back to the facility—and its back window has been completely smashed out.

Front driver's side window is cracked, too.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
