The longer a child is detained, the more developmental trauma they will endure. If they are released, the government will most likely step in later on when they deem the child “crazy” for having a trauma response. It’s a cradle to prison pipeline.
the people who made us all stand up every single morning and recite “with liberty and justice for all” are somehow fucking shocked when we want liberty and justice for all

Australia enacted gun control laws in 1996 after 35 people were killed in a shooting. It only took ONE shooting for politicians to protect their citizens and implement gun control. They immediately saw a sharp decline in homicide and suicide rates via guns. This is the first mass shooting Australia has had in decades.
Since 2014 almost SIX THOUSAND people have died from mass shootings in the US. Don’t you dare use this tragedy to try and insinuate gun control does not work. More guns is never the solution.

A man in a vest marked “POLICE,” carrying a rifle, was seen following a woman near a Petco (possibly 3046 Halsted). He got into a black Ram 4.
Men with guns are stalking women in Chicago… no ID, no warrants, unmarked cars, no proof they’re even cops… and we’re expected to just look away.
ICE isn’t making this city safer.
They’re making it easier for women and children to be trafficked.
More physical assault on protestors by ICE agents. The police state doesn’t care about your 1st amendment rights no matter who you are or what your citizenship status is.
It’s time for legislation that creates a code of conduct for ICE and mandating body cameras.
