I seriously CANNOT with the evil trolls in every Pritzker post. They're saying we're lying about the teargassing in Chicago neighborhoods. Why would we lie about that?!

#AncestryHour #genealogy If anyone is researching "German Poland" or Pomeranian roots, this site from the Pomeranian Genealogical Association has been helpful. I only recently discovered it www.ptg.gda.pl/language/en/... It's index only but the search function is great!

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

“Sure, Trump is taking foreign bribes, terrorizing immigrants, trying to jail his political opponents and destroying our public health system, but I’m still glad I voted for him because that black Democrat lady had a funny laugh.”

Has local Chicago TV news decided to turn a blind eye to neighborhood 🧊 raids? I checked various channels at 6 p.m. to see what they said about all the activity today and how it is affecting the community, and they said nothing!!

Armed ICE agents just took one of my neighbors in Andersonville, someone who lives in the building next door. I heard a commotion and went to the window and saw everything. It was extremely scary. I am shaking.

Some randomness has crept in. I now have 1% Western Ukrainian, but neither of my parents have this in their estimate. And my Mexican-born husband is now 1% Irish from Donegal 🤔

Did you read the article? ICE clearly has him confused with another guy with the same or similar name but who is much younger! Does this guy look 40 to you?
