+ in historically Palestinian ("mixed") cities, Arabs are shunned from, and harassed at bomb shelters.
This picture was taken by my dad this morning, outside a bomb shelter in Ramleh. The sign reads "Gaza is ours, forever!".

Dance your conference paper.
Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."
Occurred to me that it might be useful for me, a person who teaches in a Digital Humanities program, to say that what happened to LCS is wrong and shameful and infuriating.
Jesus Christ.
Oh no! No no no!

ugh they’ve made this place hell
And then vomits live eels.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
Fuck everything.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
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.
This is an outstanding skeet.
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

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.
"You come for my people, you come through me" - Gov Pritzker last November
Today:
ICE attacking people again with support from state cops.
ICE attacking people again with support from state cops. Someone here is being arrested.
ICE attacking people again with support from state cops.
Major commotion as IL state cops shove back crowds trying to stop an ICE vehicle. I was grabbed and shoved repeatedly while filming the incident.
