Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

Of course the Chicago puerto rican community doesn't want her. She's a Maga boot licker at a time period when Maga is attacking them

In his final interview, which was about public sociology, Michael Burawoy said that students “are our primary public as academics.” I appreciate his point cuz critiques about academics being cut off from the public and only in conversation with other academics ignore the crucial work of teaching.

Not the most important thing, but it’s past time to drop the “poor little girl” routine with Greta Thunberg. She’s in her 20s, been in the public eye for nearly a decade, clearly has the courage of her convictions and is making choices in line with activist strategy. You can discuss her as an adult.

Physiotherapist Abdelhameed Qaradaya, who worked at the MSF field hospital in Deir al-Balah, died today of wounds sustained in an Israeli drone strike 3 days ago. The attack targeted a group of MSF healthcare workers, all wearing marked vests, as they waited for their shuttle to work...

Opposing ICE in the US while backing genocide in Gaza is senseless. These struggles are intertwined.

If what was happening in Chicago was happening in NYC, there would be wall-to-wall cable news coverage

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Actually, it’s worse. He’s using local police against protestors confronting ICE.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

I'm furious on behalf of everyone who was brutalized by ICE today in Chicago. My GOD, this is completely horrible. I've been in meetings most of today and I just checked messages and see that comrades & friends were part of the people they brutalized today.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Google has determined that ICE agents are a vulnerable group and has used this designation as pretext to delete an app that helped communities determine where ICE raids were happening www.404media.co/google-calls...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

Digital cointelpro. Not even hiding it though.

This was at a HOSPITAL that serves mostly Latine community members. Jessie Fuentes is an ELECTED PUBLIC OFFICIAL. They arrested her for asking for a WARRANT (because they didn’t have one, of course). If you’re in Humboldt, please be vigilant (and I need white transplants to step it TF UP).

Ald. Jessie Fuentes is a real one! Represents Humboldt Park. ICE out of Chicago Now!

ICE is absolutely out of control in Chicago.

Just to be clear, numerous local police departments were working in tandem with federal agents this morning to shut down protests against the Broadview ICE detention center. ICE and cops (and other federal agents) were shoulder to shoulder, doing maneuvers together to violently repress the crowd.

Out here at Broadview ICE detention center. Illinois state police are doing “crowd control” of the protest and I just saw an individual detained and put into a van that said “Cook County Sheriff” on its side. It drove away with the person inside. Seems like police collaborating with ICE.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

From this day forward to be known as “BS News”

Fine print: Unless that aggressor is Israel.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Israeli forces attacked Doctors Without Borders workers—who were all wearing marked medical vests. They killed Omar, a 42-year-old occupational therapist and sole provider for his family. He was killed at a bus stop, on his way to take care of other people bombed by Israel.

…

People are so ignorant about Puerto Ricans and Puerto Rico. Lets clarify. 1. Puerto Rico is NOT part of the U.S. It is an unincorporated territory that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled belongs to but is not part of the U.S. In other words, Puerto Rico is a colony, denied self-determination.

He is a US citizen, a status imposed on Puerto Rico in 1917, which remains a colonial possession of this country. Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican not American. He affirms this in all his music.

I get the point but Puerto Rico is a *colony* of the United States. And colonialism is a crime against humanity.

Mikeno! Mikeno! Mikeno!

The Israeli army just announced that it won’t allow Palestinians in central and southern Gaza to travel north to Gaza City, saying that anyone who remains will be considered “terrorists.” An estimated 500,000 Palestinians remain in Gaza City, who are now officially cut off from any provisions.

BREAKING: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has bought access to a surveillance tool that is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data from hundreds of millions of mobile phones, according to ICE documents reviewed by 404 Media. 🔗 www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...

Israel has illegally intercepted about 9 boats. Another 35 or so remain. Praying they reach Gaza’s shores. All eyes on the Global Sumud Flotilla!

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social With a perfect summation: “That anyone with a rudimentary understanding of history, politics, economics or even pragmatic common sense would call the way these provocateurs operate civil debate says just how poorly prepared any of us are for what lies in front of us.”

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

8-year old Dasha Ramirez was playing with her brother at Millennium Park when Border Patrol took them. They’re now awaiting deportation to Guatemala. “We never imagined our Sunday would end this way, mother Noemi Chavez said. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/29/i...

One of the key assumptions of academic freedom is that scholars will disagree especially on politically contentious issues since approaches to gathering and interpreting data vary. The president simply canceling a class with a perspective he disagrees means the end of academic freedom at Cornell.

The 19 members of Congress calling on the Trump administration to protect the Global Sumud aid flotilla (carrying 24 Americans) & for the admin to use its leverage to stop the Israeli blockade and genocide of Gaza:

The Coates-Klein debate (and meta-debate) just reinforces my belief that we elevated the wrong MLK passage. Not the optimistic “content of their character” I Have A Dream speech. But the “white moderate … [who] advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season’” Letter From Birmingham Jail.

Love that the Bad Bunny Super Bowl announcement has enraged the right.

Trump & Vance have now welcomed Netanyahu to Washington *4 times* since they took office. Israeli soldiers & settlers have killed 7 Americans in the past two years. A 16-year-old American is *currently* in Israeli prison, held captive for seven months with no due process.

Ta-Nehisi Coates having to pretend Ezra Klein is his intellectual equal is such a disgrace

i love ta-nehisi coates so much
