the cook county public defender's office not mincing words in its response to a plan to allow all chicago cops to directly file felony weapons possession charges. "This policy abandons prosectors’ duty to review felony charges and simply hands that responsibilities over to police."

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach. It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors. drive.google.com/file/d/1ENK2...

The people who live in the South Shore building that was violently raided in the middle of the night by federal agents are forming a tenants union. Here are their demands, per a press release that just went out.

Jake Lang got the Richard Spencer treatment at his hate rally other day. Wonder if he knows we made a generic "Fash Guy" character in #SmashMAGA to represent his ilk. But we are way beyond the Alt Right moment-these nazis, emboldened, see themselves as part of the white nationalist movement in power

Do you know how to speak the language of the creepy little far-right freaks on the internet? Of course not. You have friends. So why would you? But luckily for you, I do not have a life, so I'm fluent. Today, I’m your Rosetta Stone. This is part two -- and we're doing a White House edition:

In recent days, oddly similar AI-generated videos depicting nonexistent Black people accompanied by captions such as “dear white people” and “hit follow if you want peace” have proliferated on TikTok. Here's a look at the spam network posting the videos. www.conspirator0.com/p/one-ai-gen...

Wow the weapon magically gained agency and decided to sneeze at the officers balls. It’s a Christmas miracle.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Recent operations in big cities have produced *arrest* rates of people with no criminal records/pending charges that are above 50%, including in LA and Chicago. But this is nationwide data, not limited to the splashy ops. 46.5% of all people booked into detention (from all sources) had no record.

JUST IN: A federal judge says one of the Venezuelan men — illegally deported to El Salvador in March before he was swapped back to Venezuela in a prisoner exchange — is now missing, possibly a victim of the violence he was seeking asylum from. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Now: the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and other immigrant rights groups are holding a presser re: the 7th Circuit appellate court's ruling yesterday, which stayed the release of potentially hundreds of immigration detainees eligible for release per a prior court settlement.

This is a really great conversation between @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and Chris Gilliard on Luxury Surveillance. The motivations behind surveillance tech companies, much more. Available to 404 Media subscribers today, sign up here 404media.co/membership/

ALERT: @veritenews.org has started a tip line for people to report ICE/CBP sightings in the greater New Orleans area ahead of the upcoming deployment of Border Patrol agents to the region. If you see an enforcement action, raid, illegal detainment, etc., please let us know!

A couple in Franklin Park was taken by federal agents today when they knocked down the door of this family’s home. DHS strategy in Chicago is changing & is definitely not over post-Bovino and CBP.

For months, protesters have sought to tie down ICE agents at a holding facility outside Chicago. Here, participants reflect on this strategy, evaluating it alongside other strategies such as rapid response networks and showing how Democratic politicians have been instrumental in supporting ICE.

Grok: "The real Final Solution was the friends we gassed along the way"

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

Racist clown Jake Lang punched while leading an islamophobic hate march through Dearborn, Michigan.

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

“Hi @grok, who is the single greatest person in modern history?”

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man. We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

fwiw, when the district court judge in this same case blocked trump from deploying the guard in chicago, she based her reasoning in part on several instances in which a grand jury declined to indict protestors whom ice/cbp claimed attacked them

NEW — Illinois residents can submit comments to state leaders by Nov. 24 to oppose mail scanning, which allows prison officials to scan physical mail and reproduce it into digital copies. Criminal justice advocates say the practice doesn’t make prisons safer. thetriibe.com/2025/11/crim...

Hazing and harassment bans were removed earlier this year, so I have a good idea how this will go for minorities in the Coast Guard.

Huh, I wonder why

It's honestly a great analogy of how humans are treating climate change in general.

The UN climate change conference (COP30) having rooms shut down both to flooding and an extreme fire is a bit metaphorically excessive.

Again…

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a short-term administrative stay of the order from U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings that aimed to release as many as 615 people detained by ICE. That means their release is on hold. Oral arguments 12/2.

When someone tells you complex societal challenges have simple answers, they're either stupid or hoping you are. When they say those answers are more cruelty to a certain group, they're also evil and hoping you are.

“A simple answer” sounds like a “final solution”.

“In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, there’s been a concerted effort by conservatives to paint liberals and progressives as supportive of political violence…Seeing a conservative fabricate an attack like this—and mutilating her own body in service of the plan—suggests a different reality.”

Musk has apparently manipulated Grok so much that it says he's a better athlete than LeBron James and a funnier comedian than Jerry Seinfeld. Imagine being so insecure you need to program an LLM to boost you like that.

Those motherfuckers

in this week's make it make sense, a weekly news roundup from the @chicagoreader.com: 1/ 🪖 border patrol chief greg bovino and his gang of masked brutes skipped town (for now)—but that doesn't mean federal agents are done disappearing chicagoans.

An ICE auditor gets nailed in a sex trafficking sting for soliciting a 17-year-old, then boasts "I'm ICE, boys" to cops. They cuffed him anyway. Irony burns. #ICECorruption

Anarcho-capitalism doesn’t work. This is why. There’s now a billionaire crypto economy where they buy and sell human lives without anybody knowing. most people can’t even afford the transaction fees, so they have to do crypto through coinbase or another bank at which point it’s just edgy Mastercard

You know that police drone in the sky? Those license plate readers? Oh, and the worried feeling you get about your data being collected as you interact with your devices? Yeah, that shouldn't be the norm. That's why we're fighting back: takebackctrl.org/stop-survei...

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

"ICE is grabbing people from the streets who aren't even undocumented or don't have criminal records at all" babe i don't think there is a group of people ICE should be grabbing people off the streets in the first place
