A man selling flowers near Curie Metropolitan High School was among those arrested Sunday, according to Any Huamani, an organizer with Brighton Park Neighborhood Council who helps monitor ICE activity and supports undocumented immigrants.
“It’s obvious that operations have begun in Chicago,” Huamani said at a news conference Monday. “And it’s even more obvious that they are going to be targeting our communities here in the Southwest Side.
“We’re afraid. Our neighbors are afraid.”
Friendly reminder what really started the Civil war was the slave states wanted the federal government to go into free states, capture any Black person regardless of legal status, and “deport” them to Slave states as a slave.
Lincoln (who spent his whole inaugural address saying the feds couldn’t outlaw slavery) said the federal government didn’t have the authority to do it. This led to the only American civil war…
Because the slave states wanted a federal government capable of doing what Trump is doing right now.
We need to understand history, because it’s not just rhyming. trump is just straight up plagiarizing history and hoping he gets the result he wants: a civil war.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t fight back, we have to.
Billionaire govenors like Britzker care too much for their wealth, he won’t do anything
There’s no such thing as good billionaire but Pritzker has been a pretty solid governor and he openly hated trump before he got into politics. He’s one of the best governors in the country
You could theoretically become a billionaire without a history of unethical behavior, assuming that selling your company isn’t included in unethical behavior.
This is what always gets me; it was the north that wanted states rights not the south. The south wanted to violate the sovereignty of northern states. This was also happening at a time when laws were being challenged in the Supreme Court that freed black people within state borders leading to a ruling that southern states laws regarding slaves preempted northern laws freeing them.
Yeah, but that’s not what Mrs Hill told me in sixth grade, and surely they wouldn’t have simplified anything!

I’m just glad that at least now that it’s literally repeating in front of our eyes people don’t reflexively yell “it was slavery” and ignore everything else
Would have been great if they came onboard earlier, but at least they’re onboard now
