“Why you here?” Roger said.
“Ya been here, what? Three days? Anyone else visit?”
He shook his head, covered his face.
“Gosh, that’s not right, Roger. That’s why I’m here. I care. Ya matter to me.”
“Why?”
“Sorta my religion, I guess. I just…care about people.”

How many government workers will lose their jobs and, even worse their homes, just so Republicans can protect Trump and his pedophile posse?

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.
Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd
The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Chicago Sun-Times @chicago.suntimes.com · 2d
At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request
The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.
