I'm going to do my best to alt text this because holy crap, everyone should know.

People are going to die

a dhs helicopter with its transponder on repeatedly circled the brighton park/back of the yards neighborhoods yesterday afternoon—clearly a harbinger of today's violence. globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=a19f67&...

border patrol agents, including greg bovino, are slamming chicago’s southwest side/near suburbs already today. at least one person abducted from tbe walmart parking at cicero/33rd in cicero—a frequent target for agents (photos below). also confirmed in back of the yards and brighton park.

Feds took one person from the Cicero Walmart ~30 minutes ago:

A large CBP presence is back in Chicago this morning, with sightings and arrests reported across the southwest side and Cicero. Bovino is also here.

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

What's the difference between states like Florida, where ICE arrests are sky-high, and states like Illinois with much lower rates of arrests? It's all about police & jails. Arrest rates out of homes, workplaces, etc are similar – but reining in sheriffs makes all the difference.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

This is honestly so cool and nice. We are gobsmacked by all the community support we've received this year. Thank you @dansinker.com!

people spend a lot of time fretting about digital security, but this is where most things start. the surveillance state is vast, complex, technologically advanced, and very scary... but more often than not, before they even try sifting through cell site location data or whatever, somebody talked.

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case. Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

ICE and CBP, among others, have violently retaliated against ICE Watch in part because the agencies correctly understand what many do not: Organized neighbors are mounting an effective defense, and an organized movement is a formidable adversary. My new feature: newrepublic.com/article/2042...

⁨Ilhan Omar's son was accosted by ICE and Darnella Frasier's sister was taken into custody today⁩.⁨ ⁨It was Darnella's footage of George Floyd's execution that went viral⁩

I refuse to let this era be defined by the sick villains and spineless cowards. We are surrounded by everyday heroes and they will keep emerging.

America be rolling out the update on the system of white supremacy like a tech company. Chattel slavery! White supremacy 1.0. Jim Crow! White supremacy 2.0. Mass incarceration! White supremacy 3.0. Anti-woke backlash. White supremacy 4.0. We always gotta have that newest version of white supremacy.

My thoughts are with all those affected by the horrific antisemitic terror attack on a Hanukkah event in Australia in which at least 11 people were killed. Seen below is Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43-year-old Muslim father of two who risked his life to disarm one of the gunmen and was also shot and injured.

Notices informed Palestinian farmers that their land would be confiscated and that they had 7 days from the date of their delivery, 4 December, to vacate their properties. A military road and barrier was to be built by Israel right through the area. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

My heart is with my Jewish community members and loved ones. The entire world deserves better, but we’ve been abandoned to extreme violence and must care for one another. I love you, comrades.

Genuinely horrific to wake up to news of an antisemitic attack in Bondi Beach, but still moving to know that a Muslim man heroically wrestled a gun off of one of the shooters

no words.

Boomers will watch their kids become homeless while they have more than one home & take expensive vacations. They do this, I've seen it.

Monsterous society Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

GIVE FOLKS CASH A lot of people panhandling use that money to get hotels or hostel beds. Give someone a $20 and they are well on their way to getting the amount they need to get inside for the night.

Residents Move Out Of Raided South Shore Building As Court-Ordered Deadline Arrives Friday Some residents said they were moving in with loved ones, while others were preparing for a night on the streets ahead of a weekend cold snap. @afrodip.bsky.social blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/12/r...

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Hey y'all, please share or support this if you can. Our trans local journalism co-op's facing a lot right now. This city is still a disaster zone in many ways and, well, it ain't exactly easy to be trans. Any help is appreciated.

‘Surrealism underwent a different sort of assimilation in the postwar United States; as early as the 1950s some of its subversive devices were turned into seductive gimmicks by Madison Avenue ad men and Hollywood movie directors.’ Hal Foster on Surrealist anti-fascism. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

People talk a lot about Foucault, pro and con, but one lesson that I wish people would in fact take from his philosophy is the idea that developing a discourse about sexuality and the body is not necessarily a liberatory act

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.” And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

But how will we pay for our concentration camps if we're wasting momey on sidewalks?

This is your reminder that nothing human-made is inevitable and you hereby have all the permission you need to reject bad/harmful social, technological, and political paradigms and to work toward something better.

Basically the rule is that you are not allowed to feel superior to the US if you are a Western European whose country may have done a genocide or two in its overseas colonies, and you are not allowed to feel superior to Argentina if your country also took in Nazis

The feds will simply not let this go. Since half of their so-called victims of communism are just Nazis, they'll no longer display the names. “The Wall of Remembrance will now solely feature thematic content that conveys the broader commemorative and educational intent of the Memorial.”

PLEASE STOP USING ALL THINGS AI

Amazing to see this. If the US is currently the serial killer terrorizing the world, the UK is simply the aging, retired serial killer that trained the current one

do british people think everyone has forgotten the whole "centuries of colonialism and genocide" and "the sun never sets on the empire" thing lmao

I think people misunderstand what's meant though by "spreading freedom". It's not just a lie and pretext. It's actually true. But freedom for whom? In this case, like all others, its freedom for US business to extract and profit off of resources they otherwise don't have access to.

I feel like every day in the mid '20s is like the coprophagic feast from Pasolini's SALO, just watching every 'respected' institution in the world smearing shit all over their faces, eating it and leering and blowing their shit breath in Our faces, for the glory of fascism.

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.

You know who I haven't seen face problems being platformed on Meta's sites? GC/TERFs. Hate groups like WDI & WoLF are safe spreading their bullshit on sites like Facebook while Meta censors feminist & queer groups that actually help people. Really shows who's the real threat to patriarchy/tech bros.

Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.

how many forests will burn down before they pull the plug on the "goofy/Bambi/Elsa threesome blood orgy" machine?

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

When we talk about reparations for slavery, others say, “It’s complicated.” Well, this is not complicated. The residents- and everyone affected by this deserves to be offered reparations and an apology. And that land developed for and with that community. If not, what’s the lesson learned here?

Apparently Francesca Albanese went to appear on Tucker Carlson's show.
