The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. This was her bio:
"Renée Macklin is from Colorado Springs, Colorado and is studying Creative Writing at ODU. Her poetry has been published in Metrosphere and Coronado Literary Review, and she currently co-hosts a podcast with her husband, comedian Tim Macklin. When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons."
(People are posting the wrong woman's photo, the red lipstick photo is not her. This is Renee, from her social media accounts.)
Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
Mary Bruce absolutely bodied that press exchange yesterday.
She refused to shrink, refused to be intimidated, and pressed a president who thinks bullying reporters is a substitute for answers.
That’s what journalism looks like.
More of this energy.

🚨 BREAKING: Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot… firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside.
Agents then dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause.
Excessive force. No warrant. No justification.
One in eight Americans will struggle to put food on the table if the Trump shutdown extends through next week.
Yet Republicans in Congress are nowhere to be found.
Tell them it's time to clock back in—because they work for us:

Hello Mr. President!
Out of curiosity, did those doctors ask you to draw a clock by any chance? Was that part hard for you, too?
Asking for 340 million people.
🚨ICE agents aren’t just illegally swapping out license plates anymore… They’re now driving around Chicago with no plates at all.

For years I’ve heard people who don’t live here tell about Chicago being a war zone. This is the only time, in 19 years of living here, that my neighborhood has even remotely looked like one.
I can’t believe this is real life.
Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.
