Fuck everything.

This is a truly bananas series of sentences.

I should note: by my count, this makes at least four clergy members *that I know of* who have been shot with pepper balls or rubber bullets fired by ICE/DHS agents in recent weeks — two Presbyterians, two Methodists and a UCCer.

a video of the young man's arrest shows him backing up, following commands, while having a weapon drawn on him. He's then surrounded, thrown to the ground, jumped on, and detained. shared with permission.

Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.

Sometimes I remember we've descended this far in less than a year and I'm so terrified for my kids, who will become adults in this new (and sure yes also old but nevertheless unleashed) order.

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old. There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

It's Disappeared in America Day (Jun 26) and we will post the names of the disappeared every hour. Some persons have been released. Know that for each name we DO know, there are likely 10,000 we DON'T. We ask for the neighbor snatching to end and for the return of those unjustly deported. Solidarity

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 100 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The news everyday is indescribably stupid but today’s is just so hulk smash I can’t

Al Jazeera reports Israel has just murdered at least 27 more Palestinian aid-seekers near Rafah, bringing the total number of people massacred in cold blood while seeking aid to 102 in just eight days. Unspeakable crimes against humanity. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Nor must you forget that when men say popes, kings, and emperors built such and such buildings, it is a mere way of speaking. You look in your history-books…Did they? or, rather, men like you and me, handicraftsmen, who have left no names behind them, nothing but their work? -William Morris

End the tyranny of the bowl. No more bowls. Basta ya!

God bless the woman who just said “love your outfit” as we were crossing the street after I left a clothing store with nothing but dressing room self loathing. Friends, be that woman.

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."
