Dear media,
1/ ICE consistently lies about its violence toward people in Chicago, with its initial accounts later disproven.
2/ When protesters shout at ICE agents to get out of their neighborhood and ICE tear-gasses them and throws them to the ground, that's not a "clash" – that's ICE violence.

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

I doubt it, but I do think they'll use Saturday as an excuse for more military involvement no matter how peaceful the marches are

Please note that they're going to invoke the insurrection act anyway and please also do not start finger-pointing at the left when they do. This victim-blaming language about "letting them" is unnecessary

Pentagon beat reporters have been handing in their press passes all day long today. It is one of the most striking examples of news media solidarity we've seen this year.
