“Not Everything That Is Faced Can Be Changed; But Nothing Can Be Changed Until It Is Faced” ~ James Baldwin 1962
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

UPDATED, PORTLAND, MAINE: 174 businesses have committed to supporting Minnesota in a national economic blackout.
Many more were unable to fully close but have risen in support in other ways. All should be celebrated.
Stay safe, see you in the streets 💜

In solidarity with immigrant service industry workers and immigrant-owned businesses.
Those businesses supporting the strike will be at the top of my list to support.

“The entire letter is remarkable not for what it says — since it says very little beyond praying this whole mess somehow goes away so they can go back to making money without thinking about such dreadful things — than for what it doesn’t say.”

1/27 ICE has taken ANOTHER corrections officer from Maine, this time from York County. He had no criminal record and was taken when ICE invited him to a fake immigration check-in status appointment at the Scarborough facility. #maine #MEpolitics
