Murphy at #nokings: "The president of the United States during a shutdown, or even when the government is open, does not have the power to send masked men into our cities and pull off the streets our peaceful neighbors, and throw them into the back of vans and into prisons."

literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

This woman is my hero. What has happened just this AM is enough to make most of us retreat, but Kat has been doing it for weeks. She’s running for office and a follow or a donation would help her feel supported, I’m sure.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.
