"He [Brian R. Marvel, some cop lobbyist type] said that limiting face coverings and opening officers up to prosecution would most likely hurt recruitment and drive officers from the state." Okay, great! But surely there must be some downside, right? ;) links ↓

ICE cannot legally enter your home or gated/fenced property (unless they have a judicial warrant, which they won’t). Don’t ask anyone’s status, just assume they are at risk. Talk to them about it so they know what to do and where to go. In general, folks will appreciate that you are aware and care.

There are signs that while ICE is driving around, they may be scouting out homes where they see any signs laborers are present. If you have people working for you, whether it’s roofers, painters, landscapers, carpenters, whatever, you should have a plan to protect them if ICE shows up.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

We're collecting reports of protester injuries at Broadview last night. If you were hurt and would like to share, please shoot us a quick description of how. Anonymity protected. Signal: unraveled.66

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Get the good PPE out, folks, seriously, especially if you have a uterus. Get gas masks with good filters, not paper masks or N95--those aren't nearly good enough to protect you. Get a full-face mask if you can. Make sure it fits well. They're relatively inexpensive--I'm serious, protect yourself.

A good example of why using the US flag at protests is helpful. It makes ICE the ones assaulting the flag.

Ongoing thread from early this morning ⬇️

I suppose all this shit is why there’s a whole ass constitutional amendment specifically banning insurrectionists from ever holding office again

When the boomers told me not to believe everything I read on the internet they were projecting like fucking crazy, and that contemptuous attitude kept them ignorant of the skills they’d need to even begin sorting it all out I think the most important untaught class in school is media literacy

What you IDIOTS don’t understand about POLITICS is that if the Democratic Party become Republicans they will never lose another election. But I see you’d rather LOSE

Just going to remind you that if the police or any other law enforcement show up you should ABSOLUTELY say I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT i.e., then say nothing else except repeatedly demanding a lawyer.

@thetriibe.com is documenting ICE activity taking place in Chicago and surrounding areas. Please share and support. thetriibe.com/2025/09/live...

I think there's this idea that since the national guard didn't show up, everything's OK. It's really not! ICE is spreading out over suburbs with large Latino populations and terrorizing them. It's really, really bad in lots of towns people forget about because they don't have money. It's bad.

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

video from west chicago posted to facebook this morning shows agents breaking a person’s rear driver’s side window, forcing them from their car, and handcuffing them.

My quote of the day

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

Here in Illinois yesterday, ICE agents attempted kidnapping, committed murder in broad daylight, and lied about what happened. Unforgivable.

On my personal authority as the Chairman of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, I have determined to defy the Governor’s order that our colors be at half staff through Sunday on behalf of Charlie J Kirk. 1/4

Sure, his hand looks weird, but he still manages to play that accordion

Let's storm Applebee's! No political violence 🌈

No political violence!

Exactly.

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

An international incident

Getting sick of the term “political violence” when a public figure closely aligned w/one ideology or other is a victim. ICE is also political violence. Armies are also political violence. Not sure of my point - just wish for a term that doesn’t immediately wall an act like this off from all the rest

For my latest, I talked with counter-recruiter Rory Fanning about how we should communicate with National Guard troops deployed in US cities, and how we might counter ICE's current recruiting blitz.

you say "i asked chatgpt" i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]" an improv group wrote this report instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group

Rosanna is right.

Hey @durbin.senate.gov @quigley.house.gov @duckworth.senate.gov this is fucking insane and nobody in Democratic leadership should be paying or listening to these people

alert: potential ban on federally-funded hospitals providing any trans health care is in the house hhs funding bill

One more troll for the block party.

I've seen photos from verified ICE sightings today in Lynn and the cars include Subarus and Nissans, all with Massachusetts plates. This reinforces that they are using rentals to try and blend in. A reminder that you should call LUCE immediately if you suspect ICE may be in the area: 617-370-5023

The people who are arguing Democrats shouldn’t engage in the military occupation of American cities are the same kind of people who argued that Democrats should support the Iraq War

So, Chicago, it's your turn now and man, I am so so sorry. Nobody should have to go through this. This is awful. This is fascism. Organize. Step up. Don't think other people will do it -- the might, maybe even they will, but they need you, too. Be like LA -- be sand in their gears. 9/

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

CHICAGO 💥

“Centrists”: We support enriching the police state because it’s necessary to suppress the left. Nazis: We’re grabbing that police state and ramping it up 4000% with a lawless paramilitary coup, concentration camps, and an apocalyptic bloodbath. “Centrists”: Oh. Well see that’s the leftists’ fault.

With the Trump Administration about to roll its ugly occupation into Chicago, I wanted to write a little lyrical love letter to the city. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Attn. #chicago folks, read this quick thread about disinfo being spread here and elsewhere on the socials:

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Mike giving off real gak vibes here. Made me think of this character. Dipping into the White House candy dish there, God Boy?

In all fairness I can absolutely see Trump being like the Whitey Bulger of pedophiles where he snitches to the feds on rivals

A doughy, foppish, soft-handed, emotionally fragile coward who avoided the Vietnam draft five times by lying about bone spurs, sending five poor kids to fight and die in his place, can feel free to shut the fuck up about why we lost past wars.

A collaboration with the great satirist @borowitzreport.bsky.social anntelnaes.substack.com/p/trump-reva...

Here in Evanston—and Chicago is doing this as well—the city just sent out a notice “strongly urg[ing]” residents to call police if they see any masked agents on the streets, as they’ll be considered to be impersonating law enforcement. #HandsOffChicago
