ICE in the airports today

The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.

As an adult I have learned that the most shocking and unexpected opponent in life is the person who owned your house before you.

I love this. Imagine if other reps cared about their constituents.

I met her last year and she really is running for all of the right reasons.

There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files.

At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them.

I’m a hell no — not a penny more for ICE.

We should not fund this terror.

I just need to make it to the end of the week, and then the end of the year, and then the end of my life. Ideally in that order.

Evanston will not allow federal agents to use city-owned property for immigration enforcement. We will not hesitate to protect our neighbors.

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

Angry crowds have been following and chasing ICE through Chicago.

It seems like a tactic that’s worked for protesters — I saw about two dozen people get this ICE truck to speed away in Humboldt Park yesterday. It had been parked outside a daycare, then a plant store.

Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles in and out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker NOW at 312-814-2121 to demand he remove ISP from Broadview.

Journalism is not a crime. My friend Steve has done critically important work here in Chicago and we must stand up for the First Amendment and the public’s right to know.

Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had less than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 90,000.

Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have 10 gun deaths per year; the US has nearly 50,000.

It’s the guns.
