These profs are literally fighting for the survival of the humanities. Hold the line!

Do this everywhere. They should be shamed, followed, mocked and made to regret they ever masked up for fascism. No redemption. No accommodation. Just permanent humiliation for their life choices.

The dating scene is ROUGH but please know that settling is so much worse than loneliness. Because that's just loneliness without the privacy. Like great I'm still sad and longing for a deep, life-changing love but now there's someone in my apartment.

Not sure people not subject to this in their cities truly comprehend how much ICE is terrorizing Chicago. They are everywhere, kidnapping whomever they want, arresting journalists, targeting construction and domestic laborers, deliberately sowing fear in almost every neighborhood

ICE gassed a 2 year old because they were mad about the traffic. They are on a terror spree
ICE deploy tear gas on crowded public street—because they were upset being stuck in Chicago traffic.
A 2-year-old child required medical care after inhaling the chemical agents—adults were vomiting on the sidewalk.
Local elementary school was forced to lock down for recess due to the presence of agents.
People in nearby cars reported that the tear gas caused their ears, nose, and mouth to run—after chemicals seeped into vehicles despite windows rolled up.
The incident occurred close to Funston Elementary School in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. #DemsUnited
