I don't read the Trib regularly but decided it is time to cancel my digital sub. Took 20 minutes because they pretend you can cancel online if you subscribed online but actually you have to call and go though a whole song and dance about alternate offers etc.

That Trib endorsement also said: "We weren’t comfortable with [Dan] Biss’ aggressive, on-the-street confrontations with federal immigration agents when they patrolled parts of Evanston last year" and referred to Kat as a "performance artist."

Please don't post anything from this sleazy clickbait outlet. Look up its history and terrible reputation for mixing facts and fake news. Omar and Rafael Rivero, the founders, are not Dems and they are laughing all the way to the bank with every click.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

EMERGENCY RENT FUND: Support Workers in Minnesota Rent is due FEBRUARY 1st. Support our Emergency Rent Fund for Minnesotan workers and families facing eviction due to ICE Raids. We are calling for a rent moratorium, but regardless of if that happens ...

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

β€œThese protesters are paid,” she claimed. β€œThis is not free speech, it's paid for. Nor is it speech. And the government has a right to restrict time, place, and manner of true free speech. But these people are simply interfering and obstructing federal agents from carrying out federal law.”

Interestingly lie to use if your hand-picked SCOTUS said that money is speech.

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Western CT DSA in Stamford on Jan. 10. Tremendous response from motorists - honking, leaning out of windows and waving. A widow in the front car of a funeral procession gave a thumbs up all the way past our line at Washington Blvd & Tresser.

Abolish ICE, my senator. You know in your heart they are Nazi wannabes. The only safe thing to do is abolish and prosecute top To bottom. They know that, too.

Sen. Blumenthal: We want more than plans to "fix" ICE training.

1. Freeze ICE funding NOW.

2. Enact a law that holds ICE agents responsible for their actions.

3. Hold Presidential Crimes Commission hearings to develop evidence for prosecution.

4. Abolish ICE.

Hundreds of people have packed into Chicago's Thalia Hall tonight for a community listening session on CPD collaboration with ICE/CBP.

Police district councillors who gathered petition signatures required to hold tonight's hearing are opening by thanking the community for showing out.
