A Chicago pastor describes being shot seven times with pepper balls by federal agents outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois.

The agents were laughing as they shot at protesters. Shameful!

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

Growing up suffering abuse was what I knew. I spent my life on guard, awaiting the next violation. I knew how to be treated poorly.

Kindness, sincerity, softness, & honesty were foreign. But they're there, & worth learning how to let in.

been thinking a lot about the reported conditions at the South Shore building that was raided, seemingly in a state of bad repair before the raid. in a just society we'd be focused on ensuring dignified, clean, safe housing for all. instead, billions of dollars to terrorize communities.

The picture of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago pastor being pepper sprayed by a masked ICE agent reminded me of civil rights protestors in Birmingham being sprayed with high-pressure water hoses in the 60s.

It was wrong then, it's wrong now. How are we letting this happen?

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

Today in history, 1906: San Francisco sparks a diplomatic crisis between the United States and Japan by ordering segregated schools for Japanese students. Tensions were eased by the “Gentleman’s Agreement,” an informal treaty between the U.S. and Japan signed by Teddy Roosevelt. /1

What Fr Dowling is doing here was not just "offering communion to detainees". A full on Eucharistic Procession is a really fucking big deal. In Catholic theological framing, those folks were the honor guard with the very great privilege of escorting Jesus himself to the detention center.

Note: it's not even curfew yet.

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

I want a president who cares more about Chicago and Portland than about Qatar and Argentina. Trump’s “America First” slogan is a sick joke.

Censoring the press isn't enough for the Trump administration. Now they're even trying to censor court records that discuss the press's reporting.

This is unheard of.
Opposition Filed Against DOJ Effort to Strike Context from Complaint About Qatar’s ‘Gifted’ Jet to Trump Administration - American Oversight
As the DOJ refuses the prompt release of a memo clearing the Qatari jet ‘gift,’ Freedom of the Press Foundation, represented by American Oversight, argues against erasing this context and the agency’s continued delays.

New reporting: many apparently fired at CDC in 'error'. This is a failure by design given that the admin does not care about fulfilling agency missions. This is the kind of error that should have political consequences.

Unserious people cause real-world harm.

Troopers have already pushed people back at least a block. Another arrest warning and they are also threatening chemical agents.
