FULL STORY: Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and its suburbs, lied about firing tear gas at protesters in Little Village and tackling a man outside the Broadview ICE facility, a federal judge said Thursday. @wttw.bsky.social

New graffiti art in my Rogers Park, Chicago, neighborhood.

Game should have been called off after the repeated warnings. Looks like MLS policy is all for show and has no teeth. #cf97

Amateur hour in Bridgeview.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

A lot of Americans would love to talk about kitchen table issues, unfortunately the kitchen table is being used to barricade the front door because ICE is trying to illegally enter private property to arrest and detain them.

The public face of Trump’s Chicago immigration crackdown gets an earful and new walking orders from a federal judge blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/28/j...

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Journalists are not just covering the outrage on Chicago streets, they are covering the ongoing court battles as well. Their work is helping hold the federal government accountable. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

With the Wooden Spoon set to be determined this weekend in MLS' Decision Day, let's revisit my article from last year on the Malort-fueled creation of the trophy, the mixed feelings about it, and how it's also a symbol of accountability in a league without relegation www.espn.com/soccer/story...

“Our fathers and mothers fought in the mills, in the factories, in the unions. They taught us when the bosses or governments try to divide us by race or language, that we would unite, and the power was in solidarity with each other." blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/15/s...

Rep. from West Virginia: actual residents of DC are happy to be occupied. Meanwhile actual DC residents decided, for the 5th game in a row since occupation began, to take a minute from enjoying a Washington Spirit soccer game Sunday to chant “Free DC.” They don’t sound happy about it to me, Riley.
