Our members must be doing something right, or the right-wing is running out of conspiracy theories to follow and are grasping at straws. https://www.mediamatters.org/glenn-beck/glenn-beck-says-fbi-sought-his-advice-how-target-antifa-heres-who-he-wants-them-go-after

… but people are homeless because of “mental health.” Mmkay.

Important: The share of counties hosting at least one anti-Trump protest has risen markedly during his second term, surpassing spikes observed during his first term. And the current protest movement has reached deeper into Trump country than during the first Trump administration.

Los Angeles, CA - Leo, member of VC Defensa whose vehicle in the crash and was detained, released pending charges according to him. He’s making a speech in front of people who had assembled to protest his detention. “You don’t get to retire signs often,” he told the group holding “free Leo” signs.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

"Who’s assaulting who is the real question?” said Oriana Korol's dad. “She was on the sidewalk playing music when the federal officers just bumrushed the band.”

"Federal immigration enforcement agents allegedly interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in south Portland, as first reported Monday in Willamette Week." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

"Federal agents arrested a Portland mother who was playing the “Ghostbusters” theme song on her clarinet at a protest outside an ICE facility." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

"Federal agents delayed an ambulance carrying an injured protester from leaving the ICE facility in south Portland for several minutes on Oct. 5, according to dispatch calls obtained by FOX 12." www.kptv.com/2025/10/16/f...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

South Bend, IN The Well's window was shattered this week. The past 3 years their drag shows have been targeted by far right extremists (including Michiana Proud Boys) w/harassment, physical intimidation, and violence. Community members held a craft night following the attack to show support.

We need $1600 by Oct 28 to help keep a recently housed neighbors power on. This will allow him to start a payment plan he can manage through SSI payments. Cashap: $RemoraHouseDC GB: givebutter.com/remorahouse Thank you all!! Love & solidarity!

Seen in Chicago

Crazy how these guys just keep showing up everywhere

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

"Young children and even babies appear to have been subjected to the indiscriminate use of tear gas by Defendants' officers."

New from 404 Media: ICE, the Secret Service, and NCIS all had access to Flock's nationwide network of AI-enabled cameras, letter reveals. Shows many more federal agencies had access to network that authorities typically use without a warrant to search whole country www.404media.co/ice-secret-s...

People organizing in #Chicago to protect children from violent ICE attacks. "Armed with whistles and know-your-rights pamphlets, community volunteers call themselves “guardian angels.” Together, they secure...elementary, middle and high schools across the city." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

So, we had ICE in our neighborhood today But When we went to pick up kiddo from school, there were neighbors with whistles and fliers and phones at every single surrounding intersection near the school Chicago strong! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏾

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

People are doing this here too, it's amazing

In our latest, against a backdrop of the Trump administration’s attempted occupation of Chicago, we speak with @mskellymhayes.bsky.social about holding together in times of rising fascism and her new edited collection Read This When Things Fall Apart www.patreon.com/posts/141148...

Elected leaders are failing to protect immigrant workers. We must build community power, as only we can keep us safe.

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago. CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason. We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

antifa bogeyman in nutshell: label whomever opposition is "antifa" — in this case Resistance 2.0 "No Kings" folks — creating pretext to target them w/ state/vigilante violence also sews division, w/ moderates fretting abt appearing too extreme, making them punch left, undercutting solidarity

Fascism demands to be taken seriously and to be feared. That makes mockery a powerful tool. Is it how you "beat" fascism? I wouldn't go that far. But inflatable Reptar has surely poked a clearer hole in the story the White House is telling that the Democratic Party's multimillion dollar comms shops.

Our premium episode for Patreon supporters is out this morning. @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I talked about the influencers who have descended on Portland to make agitprop for MAGA. Here’s our preview clip, talking about Benny Johnson: the straightest man in DC podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

"In my community where I teach, there’s kids not coming to school for a month at a time because they’re scared of what can happen to them,” he said. “I’m overwhelmed with blinding anger and depression for the people who are being affected.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/08/h...

CHICAGO—People are marching in the streets to protest Donald Trump’s federal invasion and the aggressive harassment of citizens.

This is really fucking scary and the only thing we can do is basically show up with solidarity as much as possible. Whatever mark and their family need

March from Times Square red steps to 14th St (probably Union Square) called for next Saturday at 11am. Expect sizable turnout.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility. Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying. All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Solidarity!

Spoke with cnn while sitting on the floor of my hotel room hallway bc my family were asleep in the other room.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

BREAKING: Burger King workers are on strike in Oakland due to pregnancy discrimination. The store cut our coworker’s hours because she is pregnant and asked for accommodations to ensure a safe pregnancy. 🧵 #UnionsForAll
