“Court records show Alvarez was indicted on Oct. 23 by the same grand jury that had also returned an indictment that same day in the “Broadview Six” case, which later collapsed amid allegations of wrongdoing by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Mecklenburg.”

Absurd that Tim Walz sent the Minnesota National Guard to DC to harass locals on the president's orders. It's a weird bad thing to do! And from a state that keeps a captured Confederate flag as a Union trophy, genuinely embarrassing. Statehood for DC now and always www.dvidshub.net/image/976823...

These companies are evil and should be known as such.

As Kagan’s dissents details - how on earth can you not find these overtly racial statements. Jesus Christ.

Fuck and, only these right-wing, racist assholes at SCOTUS would have the audacity to write a line like this in 2026 "None of the cited statements by either the President or the Secretary was overtly racial"

this total drama queen

Here is Sotomayor, in dissent, explaining the dire consequences of today's decision in Otro Lado. The government may now circumvent a vast range of laws protecting asylum-seekers by simply blocking their entry at the border. An insane loophole to open up. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

easily the most censorial time of my life right now, no one in charge really seems to give a shit though

There is a pernicious and sustained effort to distort the historical record and do violence to the public’s memory.

The amount of death, destruction and the trampling of Indigenous sovereignty that goes into the border wall and its never-ending expansion is a stain on this country that will never fully be rectified.

somewhat shit at times politics aside, you do have to hand it to Derrick Jensen’s jumper curation.

Correction: Will County rapid responders are now reporting that ICE agents took at least one person outside the courthouse in Joliet, IL around 11 a.m. That brings us to at least 5 reported ICE abductions across the Chicago area today alone (that I know of).

look at this thread and see how desperate young people are for a community that welcomes them, that facilitates space for their friendships to exist in peace, not as a threat to disrupt others. The way Chicago, the city and private businesses, has been treating them is neglecting their humanity.

Politician: I think trans people deserve to be protected and that the government should provide services to the people, it’s sort of an innately implied part of the job of serving the public. Talking heads: this is the tea party. this is MAGA-fication. we can not cede control of our mewling power.

Flavio Pessoa did an amazing job showing a selection of the files, like photos of Liz Soto and her husband Ines, a fellow defendant, tabling with their Emma Goldman Book Club. the Sotos had a printing press in their garage. the FBI came for it while they were in jail. that’s in the files, too.

Reached for comment, a spokesperson for the Democrats lamented the party’s inability to defeat these wretched little ingrates who refuse to shut up while the adults are talking

$2.1 billion hard at work

An Orlando green card applicant was given permission to travel to Egypt after his father’s death. When he returned, ICE sent him to a PA concentration camp for six months. During which he suffered vision loss and lost 45 pounds. He wasn’t informed of kidney disease diagnosis for 2 months.

Thirty years for this in particular is a tragedy of injustice. Just abhorrently chilling.

In a statement, WPATH said the FTC was "acting out of pure retaliation as part of the federal government’s relentless and targeted campaign to undermine gender-affirming care." “It really does feel like they’re grasping at straws," said Asher McMaher, head of Trans Up Front Illinois. 🧵/6

This is horrific to hear but also a sliver of hope to use in an appeal. This is so fucked.

Judge said he is giving the maximum sentences in order to send a message to others "who share a similar ideology." It's absolutely revolting.

love to learn what rights the Guardian Council has deleted by decree this week

smdh the Supreme Court just ruled on the appeal from this awful Fifth Circuit decision I wrote about when it happened the Republican supermajority predictably takes the side of the abusive prison guards, and not the Black man whose rights they brazenly violated www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

spent the last two weeks being mostly offline (compared to usual), focused on community and friends and exploring the fragile connections we all have to one another. 10/10, would recommend.

JUST IN: The U.S. Attorney's Office has now dropped this arson case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. They reveal the same prosecutor from the "Broadview Six" case told this grand jury: “white-collar guys think they are the smartest in the world.”

He balanced it out

I think they should make CTA trains out of Chicago common brick

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

ICE or federal LEOs serving as ICE, apparently. the dead person had nothing to do with the chase except being killed by it

😂

Jesus Christ.

just a widdle treat #birds #nature #comics #art

Small victories: This insane anti-weed group filed an amicus brief arguing that legal marijuana causes mass shootings and the Supreme Court completely ignored it www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

It was just in six months ago that Gov. Pritzker signed into law new “protections” for immigrants, to great fanfare. Quite the juxtaposition to read the assurances given at the time compared to the reality we find ourselves in.

normal guy: hey man how’s it going Greg Bovino: you gotta hand it to vlad the impaler

Of course it’s a Cook County Sheriff who thinks he’s above state law and relishes a dap of affection from a masked federal agent.

"ARREST ROSS" seen on a box truck in South Minneapolis in the early morning hours of June 16, 2026 - hours before arrests were made of those protesting ICE actions. ICE Agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Good in the head on January 7, 2026. chaddavis.photography/sets/ice-in-...

Parents who literally ignore their toddlers completely while they have a meltdown in a public place:

I wrote about forced labor in ICE detention: the way it mirrors concentration camp systems around the world and grim parts of U.S. history as well.

JUST IN: Former "Broadview Six" defendants seek special counsel to investigate, and possibly prosecute, Chicago U.S. Attorney's Office officials for criminal contempt. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/ca/86/6e85af...

One of the "overt acts" of this alleged conspiracy is *allegedly* submitting a description of a confrontation with ICE to crimethinc.com. Regardless of whether that did occur, it's clear that the authorities have much to fear from people writing about courageous acts of resistance they witness.

I wish the federal government would just leave Minnesota the fuck alone

Kyron Shakeel Swaso, 35, spoke with L.A. TACO following his deportation to Belize, in what he says was an act of retaliation for organizing a hunger strike at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. The full story: lataco.com/deported-ade... By Izzy Ramirez

DOJ wanted to lock up these people pre-trial, while most of these cases fall apart.

New: We've been tracking reports of ICE activity across Chicagoland for five weeks. In that time, rapid responders have seen an escalation as feds have abducted dozens, caused at least two car crashes, threatened community members with weapons and flouted state courthouse protections. Read more:

I don't think insinuating tens if not hundreds of thousands of people living in the twin cities are militants is going to work out like they think it will

They failed at the Broadview Six but please don’t forget they were able to get convictions in Prairieland and Spokane. We need to have a steadfast solidarity with everyone who is facing unjust prosecution for legally protected speech and actions in the name of protecting their neighbors.

oh brother

sorry boss can’t go to work today, I’ve gotta go try to peep some sentient cotton balls on toothpicks.
