Des Moines crowd begins to grow as locals protest ICE detaining Dr Ian Roberts.

“Kimmel’s refusal to capitulate stands out because so many other well-situated people—those with the resources, platform, and power to stand up to the president, including, initially, the leaders of ABC—have surrendered, withdrawn, or become Trump sycophants… www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Someone wanted him taken , that’s why.

I had the privilege of standing up to ICE early this morning. Baby's first pepper spray, tear gas, & rubber bullets—caught the latter on my hip, but it was a ricochet not a direct hit, thankfully. My eyes are still burning a little, even though I had gear. ICE is noxious. #FuckICE (1/2)

My pal Carla Bruni wrote this book and it's a lovely, vernacular guide to the lovely, vernacular architecture of America's loveliest and most vernacular city.

He also gets to decide who goes to school and what they teach there, what the museum can show, and what kind of programming is available on television. While sending federal troops and agents to kidnap your neighbors.

It happened in Turkey to the Armenians. It happened in Europe during the Holocaust. It's happening in Gaza. It's underway at ICE facilities around the US. And if we don't stop it, one day it could happen to you. Dehumanization paves the way for ethnic cleansing. crimethinc.com/ChicagoBroad...

As seen on the page from The TRiiBe (see quoted post), there is a protest in Chicago's Daley Plaza this Saturday (9/27) at 1 pm. It particularly focuses on Cook County States Attorney Eileen Burke, demanding she investigate the ICE Staging Facilty in Broadview. www.instagram.com/coalitionaga...

I had a patient I used to take care of when I was running a school-based health center…she died at age 19 from an asthma attack. She was in her second semester of her freshman year of college. One of the sweetest, smartest kids I knew from that job-gone b/c she couldn’t afford the meds.

A government communication reviewed by the Sun-Times showed that a request was made to have several Border Patrol and ICE boats and vehicles use the Chicago Harbor Lock as part of Operation Midway Blitz. trib.al/BlzJrzv
