Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Listening on @LBC and it is disturbing & wholly the wrong tone for this day. The fact they warned people dissent would not be tolerated & only applause welcome spoke volumes. To then listen to the rewriting of history & denial of genocide was awful. It’s a victory parade instead of a day of peace.

Tens of thousands of people killed. An entire state reduced to rubble and he acts like it's the Apprentice final.

And make a complete cockup of it no doubt, like his casinos. I mean, who bankrupts a casino? Everyone knows 'the House always wins'. Pfft. Some businessman. Even with cash up front from his father and cash throughout from🤔still couldn't make a success out of casinos😂Couldn't run a P up in a brewery.

They make me sick. They're still shooting at Palestians now! And the 'settlers' are still stealing land. Should be in the Hague pronto.

I'm still waiting to see what retribution The Donald's going to wrest, since he didn't win his coveted prize 🤔

It's a sign of the US's blatant (but also subtle) misogyny that the prescient truths spoken by many women there has been ignored; worse, when borne out after the fact, they're still ignored.

She called it. Kamala Harris laid out Trump’s vengeance agenda before it even happened.

One line that stuck with me most from 107 Days was when she wrote that during the debate, Trump was “unburdened by the truth.”

He’s also unburdened by threat of accountability, thanks to the Supreme Court.
