Glad to see this is happening. There was absolutely no reason for CBP to collect DNA from protesters at all, let alone on flimsy charges or no charges at all.

There is a little too much emphasis on formal contracts between local police and DHS in the media. (Part of this is just the ability to quantify and data viz 287g agreements.) But, informal cooperation is wildly common and most people will never know. nysfocus.com/2026/05/07/o...

Happening now: Cook County officials, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights and other immigrant advocacy groups are holding a presser outside the county's Domestic Violence Court in Chicago, re: federal immigration agents being spotted at 4 separate Cook County courthouses today.

An X user pulled off a $200,000 crypto heist by tricking Grok with Morse code. The user pulled off a prompt injection, bypassing Grok's safeguards and exploiting Grok's integration with Bankrbot to execute a wallet transfer on the Base network. The user deleted their X account after the transfer.

The Trump Administration has been using law enforcement to target elected leaders, particularly Black elected leaders, since they singled out Ras Baraka and LaMonica McIver when they tried to inspect a detention center.

Adding "national" to the name of a government agency, however facetiously, is a dog whistle promoting nativism and fascism. Trump and his toadies, including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, follow in the footsteps of the KKK and Adolf Hitler. We must fight them accordingly. crimethinc.com/nativism

“The court’s decision does not address a lawful arrest, but a hijacking that occurred over a thousand kilometres from Gaza, in the Mediterranean, on civilian vessels. Yet it transforms it into a criminal proceeding, normalising the anomaly.”

The newest installment of our 'Anarchists in the Tenant Movement' series. 🌆 🚩🏴 This time with Espy, a tenant organizer in the Salt Lake Valley of Utah involved in building nascent campaign at a mobile home park. www.blackrosefed.org/anarchists-t...

The regime is persecuting the journalist who investigated Kash Patel and the State Senator who led Virginia redistricting campaign because they’re trying to steal the 2026 election. Trump wants to intimidate the opposition into obedience. We can’t let him.

Today is the final day of the Border Security Expo and the schedule is shorter. Earlier was a panel with a lead of the Appian Corporation & DHS’ Jaclyn Rubino on how how industry partners should take advantage of the increased money flow going to CBP, ICE and the Secret Service thanks to the OBBBA.

Here it is, the govt's official motion to dismiss the felony conspiracy count against the remaining "Broadview Six" defendants. The defendants faced the conspiracy charge over a protest they joined outside the Broadview, IL ICE facility on 9/26/25, though prosecutors said last week they'd toss it.

The regime continues to criminalize and silence those that speak up against them, again hyping up the spectre of Antifa to apply the terrorist label. This just shows their desperation. DO NOT COMPLY- continue to resist and support those facing repression.

An associate of Chicago-area Proud Boys is encouraging their followers to infilitrate a rapid response signal group that covers the western suburbs. Admins of the signal group are aware and have removed at least one bad actor. Admins also shared this link: activistchecklist.org/signal/

Brief summary of today's Chicagoland ICE activity as of 12:30 pm, per rapid response groups: Report of people detained this morning in Wheaton (see below) and in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. Further activity reported in Mount Prospect, Hoffman Estates, Chicago Medical District

thank you, spider man

Bergquam “is part of this slippery slope that ties together the far right with more legitimate powerful political people,” @splcenter.org analyst @jtischauser.bsky.social told me last fall when the streamer embedded with feds.

Yesterday, Ben Bergquam was hanging out with Proud Boy and convicted stalker Terry Newsome in Aurora. They were looking to confront the mayor.

And now we see Ben Bergquam and serial agitator wannabe Proud Boy Terry Newsome riding along with ICE today in suburban Wheaton. They will be having an event later today in Elgin, feel free to use your first amendment to voice your opposition to these gestapo chuds

Since Ben Bergquam is riding around with ICE in the west burbs this morning, we thought it only fair that people see the invite to have a pint and discuss politics with him tonight. Feel free to call the church and tell them your thoughts on his active support of ethnic cleansing. #Chicago

in this episode of @thedugoutpod.bsky.social the crew sit down with @jamesstout.bsky.social a conflict reporter & author of ‘Against the State: Anarchists’. check it!

Yesterday, a caravan of about 13 cars drove from L.A. to the California City detention center - 100 miles each way. Then we joined a rally in town, and heard about all the people who've died there, including a 16 month old baby. Each center makes about 800K A DAY. It's CECOT on our shores.

This new video from @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social really breaks it down. Not a terror plot. Not a planned attempted murder. Not a conspiracy to kill law enforcement.

Fantastic new resource and publication from @alissaazar.bsky.social and the folks at We Will Free Us. Check it out at: www.wewillfreeus.org/farrightthre...

Here we have another example of the structural > the political, but also the political inherently reproducing the social relations/order/domination. Having a socdem mayor doesn't change *anything* about the state's and police's social functions and violence!

“‘I’m with the anarchists,’ they answered. The inquirer persisted. ‘Who’s that?’ “‘We’re against corporations, capitalism, the police, and government. Oh, and racism.’ ‘All right, I’m with you’.”

Oh, the people who blow up ships are the bad guys? Huh.

From the story:

long overdue, but i have a feeling this will go the way of most investigations into police violence: too little, too late

In true Los Angeles fashion, we’ve got a presser happening outside LAPD HQ on Flock cameras on one side, and a simulated protest being filmed for a TV show being filmed on the other. Weird man.

#HostileMedia Anyone know the name of this RW Streamer? Does the usual bad-faith gotcha Q's, but cannot help but plug in his white supremacist beliefs every few seconds. Hermesdoesitagain. He travels, most recently he was at the Madison Mayday march, where shamefully, seems nobody gave him hell.
