Official count estimates are up - before it was "nearly 7m" then it was "roughly 7m" now it is officially "more than 7m." Trend is up!

It's racism. It's fascism. Senator, fight with all you have!

We just heard from a Chicagoan who called it like it is.

ICE is profiling and arresting Americans, just because of how they look and the language they speak.

It’s totally inappropriate.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Our city is under siege. Not from foreign forces [but] from... confederate apologists and antebellum fanboys. It is our responsibility to speak with moral clarity and a spiritual rooting...

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Thanks to the Village of Broadview for standing up when the law is flagrantly being broken by ICE agents.

The Village of Broadview has opened three criminal investigations into conduct by ICE agents at the west suburban facility.

Broadview should be closed. Some insight on what is happening inside.

ICE’s Broadview facility has become a de facto detention center, minus the rules and oversight

ICE regularly held immigrants far beyond the hours they set for the Broadview processing center, data through July shows. Immigrants held there say there are no beds, limited food, and toilets are out...

They're going after journalists. On Sunday near the Broadview IL ICE facility, an ICE agent shot a pepper ball at the truck being driven by CBS reporter Asal Rezaei, and chemical agents entered an open window, engulfing her.

The Village of Broadview in Illinois said they've launched a criminal investigation after a CBS News Chicago reporter had a projectile fired at her vehicle by an ICE agent late Sunday morning.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.
