UPDATE: Huffpo is reporting the Trump administration "plans to evacuate" the Broadview facility in the wake of recent protests. If you have info about where ICE's processing operations will be happening in the Chicagoland area after this move, I am KMHChi.01 on Signal.

These are the real ones out in the tear gas making sure protesters aren't disappeared. Please support today:

Menstrual products can be a huge help, too! And are covered by FSA funds, in case you’re starting to think about use-it-or-loose-it season.

Trying to connect with your unhoused neighbors? Here’s supplies we’ve found are always welcome & needed: - socks - bug spray in summer - hand warmers in winter - batteries (AA & AAA always, D or C for fans & radios) - water Pack em in a ziploc, bring a $5 & go meet your neighbors that live outside

… so anyways, no one’s coming to save us, we just have to do it ourselves.

People often say they don't know how to start and the reality is that you just start. You can figure things out and people will help you to do so if you reach out to them.

It's only political violence when non state actors do it. When the state crushes dissent with force that's just "the way things are."

A beautiful morning to support the Whitman Walker walk to end HIV!

Hearing from a few folks now that five protesters have been taken into federal custody.

For folks asking, Pastor (Reverend? Sorry, we keep messing this one up, lol) Black is okay. He's still OTG right now, checking on others in the dark, after taking multiple volleys of pepper balls to the face and being repeatedly brutalized by ICE:

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Cancel your Disney+ & donate that money to mutual aid or indie journalists in your area.

I got tossed around, agents ripped my press credentials off, and shot me in the nuts if you are wondering how it’s going. After a rest we are back.

Shield wall is up. Feds seen donning gas masks.

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

hey, Wild Faith has sold 21,000 copies! that is pretty neat. 21,000 people more informed about what christofascism looks like and its impact on women and children join the knowledge elite here 🧿👁️: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

I don’t know how to talk to people in my mentions saying weird shit like this. I spent the evening dodging pepper balls fired by ICE and coughing on gas, bro. The police are well aware of the situation and probably jealous of the thugs who were attacking us.

Immediate blocks for anyone I see on here posting BE PEACEFUL while people are hit with tear gas and shot with rubber bullets.

I’m not here as a medic, but I had to flush the eyes of someone who got hit in the head with a pepper ball a few minutes ago.

The crowd is taking a knee in the street outside of the Broadview Detention Center with their fists up to honor Silverio Villegas-Gonzáles, the man ICE killed last week, victims of police violence, and the people being killed in Palestine.

in 2020, this scene just outside of Chicago would be broadcasting live on every cable news station right now

Gas canisters launched directly into crowd; pandemonium again.

Let’s start following some amazingly brave humans willing to risk their own safety to share the truth and fight for what’s right

"We have organized against police, against deportations, and against state violence in our communities. We have built the skills and communities we need to get through this too. Find your people, find your place, find your community, and get to work protecting each other."

Get ready for this across the country, as workers essential in fields like agriculture and home repairs are rounded up at work sites and put concentration camps. This country has chosen to sacrifice our economy on the altar of genocide

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

“We’ve become stronger as a community through this, we have tested our skills and learned our strengths. We have leaned on each other and relied on each other. It’s coming for y’all next, but you will also get through this.” Thanks @mskellymhayes.bsky.social for letting us share our thoughts.

Yeah man, if you’re heading out to a protest these days, assume you are being surveilled and act accordingly. Images and video that you didn’t know were taken will end up in indictments, fusion center reports, and any other intelligence file they got

An ICE agent unholstered his gun at a protest this morning. Please don't let yourself become numb to this.

Still struggling to take action even after you have figured out your lane? Here is a list of different ways you can contribute: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Chicago this morning, one week after ICE shot and killed an unarmed immigrant father in the near suburbs:

Cannot escape the feeling that people would care more about the nightmare unfolding in Chicagoland if Trump had actually sent the National Guard. People hung all of their ideas about fascist escalation looks like on that. Meanwhile, agents hunt our neighbors and gas protesters here.

Absolutely insane. You thought arresting Democrat lawmakers was bad… here’s a federal agent throwing a progressive candidate to the ground.

The thing everyone can do right now is to find your lane if you don't already have one and work that lane diligently and with commitment.

I think it’s a misstep to say the federal surge has ended. MPD’s control by the federal government has ended. Bowser said they would no longer provide info to ICE. But the feds are still here. Migrant neighbors are still being detained. The National Guard is still here.

Things are not okay!

ICE shot and killed a man in the Chicago suburbs last week. In the days since, we've seen a laundry list of escalating violent behavior from the feds: reckless driving, destroyed property, dawn raids, intimidation and threats against reporters, witnesses assaulted and threatened with pepper spray.

We have our big weekly event tomorrow where people come get showers, hot food, groceries, harm reduction, clothes, camping supplies, and consult with resource navigators - who can help get some extra snacks for people who have been too traumatized this week?

No new pictures where are you at mentally

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

I've noticed that many have developed an instinctive trauma response to any suggestions of trying to *do anything* about the situation we're collectively in. But what the fuck have we got to lose at this point? Get out there! Talk to people! Try shit! Be vulnerable! Mess up and learn and try again!
