Hello free speech zone, my old friend

Wow good one Katie

A Chicago winter goblin stalks and captures a rogue pizza crust

Good morning from a few blocks away from the Broadview, IL ICE facility, where people are streaming into a protest despite below-freezing temps. Broadview officials said they expected 2k - 5k people at this protest, but I'm not seeing anywhere near that number right now. Many elders in the crowd

"We're protesting fascists even when it's cold as hell; they had about 17 police officers show up—not to protect us from the Nazis 30 feet away but to put out our fires," -ICE protester tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social as police put out their fire in -9 degree wind chill. LIVE NOW⬇️

Not totally clear if the "gas masks" provision includes respirators, but I do know that wearing one saved me from a broken nose when ICE ambushed me, so that's cool that I will no longer be able to protect myself from literally being shot in the face

Soon he's going to try to take away Tracy Jordan's Pacific Rim Emmy

Now what's going to happen when a fucking Kyle Rittenhouse shows up in Minneapolis

Kyle got to tell Kristi Noem to fuck off to her face when he was unlawfully detained at Broadview and said it was almost worth the whole assault-and-arrest thing

Soon Fox is going to be accusing us of "reverse mansplaining"

Hi, do you need a writer? I need work! Copywriting, branded content, journalism, fact-checking — if it involves words, I've probably done it. January is slow for freelancers and I have a dog with expensive tastes... www.leighkunkel.com

They know they should be ashamed, that this is wrong. They're just hoping to force a world where that isn't true anymore.

Good to know that Katie Miller has the husband she deserves

Not one fucking minute of peace for these people. Their complicity should follow them every second of every day for the rest of their lives. We need to make sure it does even if our institutions won't. Every. Fucking. Second.

Alpha News is a website that has circulated a lot of false and racist claims about migrants running daycares in MN. The Trump regime appears to have released this video in an attempt to support their claims of self-defense, but the video shows the opposite and proves Ross is a cold blooded killer.

portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

Hey you know what's not a legal justification for murder? Feeling "a little bit sensitive" about literally anything!

Morbidly curious

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

ICE is a dangerous organization that acts with impunity. I’ll do everything in my damn power to hold the Administration accountable for the death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, and the death of Silvero and the shooting of Marimar in Chicago.

Every single Democrat could be asked whether they will support this ramirez.house.gov/media/press-...

I do not want them to be reformed. I want them to not exist.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

An ICE officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis is not the first time federal agents involved in immigration have shot a person this year. Here are two shootings, including another fatal one, during the recent Chicago blitz.

abolish ice. abolish cbp. the whole regime must fall

Someone who claims to have witnessed the incident says - car was blocking ice - they told them to move - "something happened' - ICE shot into the car as it was driving away - passenger got out of the car covered away and said friend was dead There is video and I have seen it

Deleted my post from yesterday — sorry Minneapolis 💔

We all already know ICE never left Chicago, but just to emphasize: several vehicles have been spotted out and about this morning. Unconfirmed (for now) reports of several abductions.

I am convinced that The Rehearsal led directly to an increase in radio stations playing Evanescence

Left the room and came back to SOMEONE drinking my wine

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

What the actual fuck

Chicago’s Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability is holding a special meeting next Thursday, January 8. This is in response to a 2000+ signature petition asking CCPSA to hold a public hearing to “understand the extent of CPD's interactions with federal immigration authorities.”

NYE pro tip: happy hour cocktails, home in time for takeout and TV

We learned to install various types of flooring because it's too expensive to have someone else do it!

The plight of the inflexible — my hamstrings are so tight that I've literally been dreaming about stretching

Love seeing everyone else who is enjoying the solitude of their Christmas dog walks

Oh you mean this doesn't qualify as "open rebellion"?

The Chicago weather gods are giving us a reprieve before two days of family time
