Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

I have absolutely no pity nor sympathy for Mitch McConnell, he’s one of the most evil corrupt beings on the planet who destroyed our Supreme Court and led this country to the disastrous train wreck we are in today.

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above.

Jennifer Welch nailed it: “JD Vance is married to an Indian woman. He has mixed-race children. If he won’t even defend them—his own family—from white supremacist jokes and Hitler worship… what makes you think he gives a CRAP about you?”

We’re back at the Broadview Processing Center protesting ICE this morning.

The good news? They tore down the unlawful fence we demanded come down.

The bad news? We’re still lacking accountability, transparency, and our First Amendment rights.

Join us today at 1930 Beach Street. See you soon.
