Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Dear activists, please consider accessibility when making flyers, especially ones that are intended for both digital and print distribution. Reach a bigger audience by choosing good backgrounds, fonts, adding ALT text, including a QR code and a URL.

I see there is no mention of how this will be enforced by state police, who have been assisting federal agents in their kidnapping scheme. What is the governor doing to ensure the top cop is on board? And if the top cop isn’t on board, will he be replaced?
