KNOCKED ANOTHER INTERVIEW OUT OF THE PARK. Had an absolutely 100% perfect answer to a hard question, because I am smart and experienced and I know things.

Today so far feds in Chicagoland have: Attacked & arrested protesters at the Broadview detention center w/the help of the ISP other agencies Tear gassed a street in Logan Square that has a grocery store & elementary school on it, among other things Violently handcuffed an Alderperson It's 3pm

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW: (Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122 (Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831 Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336 I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

pollsters: kitchen table healthcare eggs Van Hollen: hold my pocket constitution

In addition to gassing people on public streets today, ICE handcuffed and detained Ald. Jesse Fuentes (26th ward) today at an ER. As we’ve seen repeatedly, ICE agents exhibit little self-discipline or understanding of the law.

Alderperson Jessie Fuentes has been released. I'm watching a press conference alongside other elected officials about ICE activity today and Alder Jessie Fuentes is there too.

And big kudos to Fuentes for standing up to these goons

Taylor Swift won’t write any songs about them

Big stick, small dick. That’s what my grandma always used to say.

Someone knows this man. Whose ex-husband is this?

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons? This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

cool after this Zoom wraps I'm gonna hop on the Armitage bus and head to the elementary school across from the tear gas cannister out of the unmarked car and see what happens????

I am willing to discuss a deal…

Absolute bullshit. The Alder was not impeding them in any way. There was no reason for an arrest. This is gestapo behavior by idiots who aren’t smart enough to shine my goddamn shoes.

Wait I missed the detail that this was AT A HOSPITAL WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE.

Mmm Bop

Red Vault on Clark sells gas masks if anyone in Chicago needs one.

last thing I'll say about this but it's very funny to say this to a userbase that's largely grown this website through referrals and word of mouth. I have paid you in free marketing

Not a good sign that he hasn't released a statement even if only to salvage his future prospects.

Just saw on my alderwoman’s FB that they’re looking for volunteers to help keep an eye out at school dismissal. Shifts start at around 2:30

I'm not a big fan of Jack Dorsey but I have to admit that one of his better ideas was, instead of getting into posting wars with users, he would go off to a yoga castle and eat hallucinogens for two weeks

I’m pretty sure Fuentes is my favorite alder person. She just oozes cool.

Ald. Jessie Fuentes’ office just released a statement she was handcuffed and threatened arrest amid ongoing ICE activity in Humboldt Park. Tear gas was also used on passersby at a Home Depot an at Rico Fresh, her office says. I’m on my way to an emergency press conference now.

*spins around in work chair* *makes eye contact with the next customer in line* *continues spinning around in work chair*

Diddy’s attorney just referred to him as a civil rights leader.

I forgot I ordered a grab bag of pins from pinpenmerger on Etsy one day when I was mad about fascism and holy crap was it ever a fun haul to unpack

pretty crazy that la croix has more flavor than jay has a backbone

Isn't the value of a gadfly like Haberman supposed to be she should know the President is alive or not

i guess ICE is just driving around the city and finding busy areas they can tear gas for fun

It really seems like this is a decisive moment in Chicago.

Meanwhile, Pritzker who's talked a great game for weeks now, has his cops out at Broadview rounding up protesters.

Thread from one of California's leading air quality experts.

Logan Square is a melting pot neighborhood — multi generational immigrants, younger people owning their first homes, a fair bit of gentrification, with some of Chicago’s best restaurants, bars, retail. Think maybe Greenpoint or Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn or Silver Lake in LA. Now with tear gas.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Not bringing a book to wait for my detained fiance to be released by the gestapo was a rookie mistake

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

This is a Second Lavender Scare. Firing someone for a Pride flag is an attack on public service and the national security enterprise. Bigotry has no place in America, and we cannot allow fear to drive talent away from serving openly.

A relevant fact not mentioned here is that federal law explicitly states "Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities" www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

I wish the rapture had happened and the seven years' tribulation had started

I mean, this is NOT the kind of stuff that you want to be lending state resources to.

All of my favorite children live in either DC or Chicago and I would rather they not be terrorized by goons, please!

There are many better things to do than crashing out on here: -going for a walk -kissing a cat/dog -taking a deep breath -taking a nap -eating chocolate chip cookies

The whistles seem to be working!

same here

To say this like it's a bad thing really reveals what kind of person you are

Good thing I checked my calendar because I have a job interview at 3.

I realize it probably wasn't @govpritzker.illinois.gov's intent -- but it appears that by providing state police to Broadview, it freed up more militarized ICE units to go tear gas people in neighborhoods.

My friend shared some photos and videos of what she saw in front of Rico Fresh in Logan Square a short while ago.

Love the convenience of early voting! In and out in just a couple of minutes. Get out the vote, Virginia!
