Thanks @griner !
Let's take a moment to appreciate this ad about Silicon Valley history for sneaking in "Make San Francisco REALLY expensive" and "Undermine 227 years of American Democracy." adweek.it/2oB9qZ6

DePaul is closing their (quite well-curated) art museum, my colleague @NinaMetz958131 reports. The university is, however, planning to spend $42 million on a basketball facility in Lincoln Park

It was an “Animal House” reunion, but Tim Matheson spoke eloquently about the message of “Groundhog Day.” Just beautifully said.

Remember when that Border Patrol agent pulled a gun on unarmed civilians… twice… in Evanston, IL, just outside Chicago?
Well, now we have the footage… and we finally know what “provoked” him.
You can clearly hear a woman say, “She is a citizen of the United States!”
Another agent warns him that people are filming behind him. The agent turns, looks directly at the camera, and says, “Get back or I’ll shoot you.”
The man filming, in shock, replies, “You’re going to what?!”
And that’s when the agent actually pulls out his gun and points it straight at an unarmed man who’s just holding a phone.
All because they were… filming.
So, when Border Patrol claims this was “by the book,” just remember: their book apparently says you can point a gun at an unarmed citizen for daring to exercise their first amendment right to film you.

After ICE agents raided a Chicago day care Wednesday morning and arrested a teacher that has citizenship documents, Alderperson Andre Vasquez says the city doesn't have time to wait for elections to fix the Trump administration's chaos and calls for Chicagoans to act now.
"We're all crossing our fingers and hoping for elections to change things, but we don't have that time right now ... If you're anybody here in the city of Chicago and you don't have a whistle around your neck and you're not out here doing school patrol, please find time to do so. We need everyone here."

This is the teacher federal agents grabbed yesterday at Rayito De Sol daycare in front of children. Attorneys for Diana Santillana have filed a petition in federal court to have her freed from ICE custody.

.@NBCNews, this is DISGUSTING even for the fake news. Our brave Border Patrol agents were SURROUNDED AND BOXED IN by agitators.
Here’s the REAL STORY:
Border Patrol conducted an operation that resulted in the arrest of a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, who has previously been arrested for assault.
During the operations Border Patrol agents were surrounded and boxed in by a group of agitators. Federal law enforcement issued multiple lawful commands and verbal warnings, all of which were ignored. During the operation, two U.S. citizens were arrested for assaulting and impeding a federal officer.
To safely clear the area after multiple warnings and the crowd continuing to advance on them, Border Patrol had to deploy crowd control measures.
Our officers are facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them. Smears like this from @NBCNews are adding fuel to that fire. It must end.

🚨 BREAKING: The woman ICE targeted and detained, without a warrant, at Chicago’s Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center has legal documentation.
Confirmed today by @RepMikeQuigley and @RepDeliaRamirez at a press conference.
Rep. Quigley says:
They’re supposed to be going after the worst of the worst. If what’s left of the “worst of the worst” is a woman with papers… teaching at a daycare… then everything they say comes into question.

They’re lying.
Congressman, you are deliberately misrepresenting the facts.
ICE law enforcement did NOT target a daycare and were only at this location because the female illegal alien fled inside.
Here is the real story:
Officers attempted to conduct a targeted traffic stop of this female illegal alien from Colombia.
Officers attempted to pull over this vehicle, which was registered to a female illegal alien, with sirens and emergency lights, but the male driver refused to pull the vehicle over.
Law enforcement pursued the vehicle before the assailant sped into a shopping plaza where he and the female passenger fled the vehicle. They ran into a daycare and attempted to barricade themselves inside the daycare—recklessly endangering the children inside.
The illegal alien female was arrested inside a vestibule, not in the school.
Upon arrest, she lied about her identity.
The vehicle is registered to in her name, though she claims that she didn’t know the man who was driving her car and just picked him up from a bus stop.
Facts including criminality and information on the male assailant are forthcoming and we will update the public with more information as soon as it becomes available.

If anyone is curious why cable is certainly going to die, I just called @Xfinity to ask if there's anything they can do to keep a long-time customer who still wants cable but wants to pay a little less and was told there's nothing to be done.

Republicans blame “mental health issues” for America’s gun violence epidemic, not guns.
But now, President Trump is cutting bipartisan mental health funding for schools. What a disgrace.
