Important to note ICE tends to drop off detainees before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., which is why people were protesting at 5 a.m. to begin with. It's not because waking up at 4 a.m. was a convenient time for protesters!

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

Dodger bullpen is amazing. That team is like a custom made electric Ferrari that gets 1200 miles on a charge, goes 0-60 in 1.8 seconds, has a 30-speaker stereo that makes it sound like you're at a live concert, and also there's no floor and your feet just drag on the pavement as you drive.
