A neighborhood network in Chicago has been helping other cities that face immigration enforcement raids.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

trump: “no see we HAVE to blow up those boats in the caribbean, they could be carrying drugs!” also trump:

in chicago’s humboldt park neighborhood at division and keystone. agents in at least two cars. one person abducted.

Thread by @jmetr22b.bsky.social with a pretty bleak courtroom story: a man accused of putting a hit on Greg Bovino withdrew his pretrial release motion today, after the possibility was raised that were he released, ICE might grab him. A court entry today confirms the release motion's withdrawl.

Page One in Cincinnati: “.. I need to be able to look my grandkids in the eye and say I did not remain silent.” #ICE

Spouse said that he saw more masks than usual in the supermarket tonight I think the flu news is breaking through even if everyone is still checked out when it comes to covid

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

The government charged five people, including an intellectually disabled Black man, with impeding / assaulting / interfering with federal agents in connection with the 9/27 protest. With the dismissal of Briggs' case on Thursday, all five ended up tossed out of court without a conviction.

In personal matters: I've decided that as a middle aged Millennial I'll never give up skinny jeans and I'm ok with that.

the wheeling rapid response team reports multiple plainclothes ice agents have been spotted over the past two days eating and shopping at local businesses. the group warns “residents likely have no idea that they are agents because they are in regular clothing.” www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cu4...

DHS claims that an accused murderer was released from a Charlotte jail and was “back onto North Carolina’s streets because of sanctuary policies.” The local paper reported that was false. So DHS quietly removed that statement—and never admitted they lied. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/c...

how my dog looks at me when i’m putting food in his bowl

new: cook county state's attorney eileen o'neill burke is expanding a program that allows chicago cops to file felony weapons charges without prosecutor review. under the new "expedited felony review standard," chicago police citywide can now directly file unlawful weapons possession charges.

Never used Twitter/X however this is no surprise

Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses, as hate symbols. The fuck? wapo.st/3Mbd9a6

I’m howling.

Federal prosecutors have moved to dismiss the charges they brought against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent in Brighton Park, one of the most high-profile criminal cases to result from the Trump administration’s’ “Operation Midway Blitz.”

Heartbreaking and infuriating ProPublica story from Texas about yet another woman who died because she was severely ill and couldn’t get an abortion. The law values the fetus more than the adult woman, and now neither are alive. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

NPR’s Morning Edition keeps calling the Charlotte incursion a “crackdown on illegal immigration,” which is simply not an accurate way to describe it.

An investigation by a group of Chicago-area newsrooms and found that federal agents used chemical weapons on protesters at least 49 times across 18 incidents across Chicago and the suburbs since Oct. 1. Read: bit.ly/fedsteargas

New: a 7th Circuit appellate panel has issued a stay on Dustrict Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order, which limits federal immigration agents' use of force in the North Illinois court district. The panel, consisting of two Trump appointees and a Reagan appointee, found the injunction "overbroad."

One verrrry important rule for federal-court practitioners is *never* do anything that causes the judge to be concerned

It’s being reported that Greg Bovino and 250 of his goons will be leaving Chicago. But it’s also being reported that he’ll be back, in larger numbers. But Chicago is a boxer, tired but unbowed. I wrote about how we’ll be ready. dansinker.com/posts/202…

This New Orleans operation is going to closely resemble what we just went through in Chicago.

Debunking DHS Claims www.durbin.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

The Trump Department of Homeland Security is briefing federal agencies on plans for immigration enforcement operations inside churches over the holiday season.

He's proposing this again today: 1. Take money away from insurance companies. 2. Give that money to the people. 3. The people can then buy their own insurance. 4. From, presumably, companies that sell insurance. 5. Which are also known as "insurance companies."

Santa and his elves will soon be back on CTA trains and buses this holiday season. The beloved holiday tradition will return starting next week and run through late December, the Chicago Transit Authority announced Monday. https://to.wttw.com/486LxKQ

NC and those visiting NC: add these numbers to your phones and use them. Ice verification via local, respected, deeply rooted organizers is still a number one ask here. Are you a journalist? You can still text or call in what you see. Community first, always. Document and call it in immediately.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Update: The country's largest aircraft carrier joined thousands of service members in the northern Caribbean Sunday. But it's unclear if President Trump will use military force.

Since everyone is offering advice to Charlotte for dealing with CBP / ICE, I would like to add that one of the best resources for Chicago has been the indy media collaboration between Unravelled, The Triibe, Block Club Chicago, and others.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet: In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property. “Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

It is agonizing to now watch another city go through this

Approved, with Alds. Marty Quinn & Raymond Lopez voting no In all, 12 cases alleging Chicagoans were hit or killed during a police chase that violated department policy cost taxpayers more than $83 million to resolve since January, according to @wttw.bsky.social

What would make riding the bus a better experience for you—especially on Pulaski, Western, and 55th St? The city is hosting a community meeting next Thursday, Nov. 20 at the Gage Park Fieldhouse. Can’t make it next Thursday? There’s also a virtual option on Monday, Dec. 8.

i say all this not to be pessimistic. i know people are desperate for a win—and we should celebrate the wins, big and small. but bovino leaving chicago doesn't mean masked feds aren't gonna stop terrorizing our communities. they've been doing that for decades. we can't lose focus of that.

This guy is disgusting.

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."

This is how you know it’s authentic CPD data: “Police baked their own contempt into the data, listing people’s occupations as “SCUM BAG,” “TURD,” or simply “BLACK.” Neither arrest nor conviction was necessary to make the list.”

Reminder that just this year Alds. Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares introduced an ordinance to rollback protections to once again allow CPD to work with ICE if they claimed it was related to any gang, drug, or prostitution activity. Nine other alders supported it.

NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying. The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

A judge’s decision to read a 111-year-old poem in court before curbing federal agents’ use of force in Chicago has brought fresh relevance to an iconic piece of local literature.

DON'T LOOK AWAY!
