Border Patrol slammed the burbs this morning while Bovino was in court. Now they're patrolling the city. Multiple people detained in Humboldt Park. A Blackhawk has been circling the north side. Just watched a FB live from Berwyn end as an agent backed into someone behind him, then detained them.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

The Tea Party never reached the magnitude of No Kings. Yet it was covered as if it represented “real America,” just like MAGA today. Those are not empirical assessments, but articles of faith – ideological claims about the world that are widely shared in the American mainstream discourse.

In this piece: The New York Times did not think the No Kings protests were all that significant – which is indicative of how much mainstream institutions have bought into the idea that only Trump and his supporters represent “real America” and have a right to have their message amplified.

It's over 6 months since 36 (or more) Salvadoran men were illegally sent to CECOT- no due process. Human rights abuses are commonplace in that torture prison.
Be a voice for these men. Speak out to your senators, reps and faith communities.

Although very few names are known, these Salvadorans are brothers, sons, husbands, and fathers too. They are still at CECOT.
We need to advocate for them and their families. We can not forget them.
