Headed to Kalshi to take the longest option possible on “when will Kwame Raoul’s office respond to press.”

I think it’s this and they didn’t get the “insurrection” they wanted out of Chicago—but now they see new possibilities in Minneapolis. Sending hundreds of little stochastic terror boys to see what else they can escalate.

Chicagoans packed a special meeting of the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability last night, recounting story after story of Chicago police assisting federal immigration agents while blasting the commission for a lack of action. w/ @djbyrnes1.bsky.social

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

thinking a lot lately about our surprise when the victim of state violence is white, a citizen, a priest, a veteran, some category viewed as exempt from that violence. it’s time to understand you aren’t. no one is. whiteness isn’t the color of your skin it is a conditional privilege you can lose.

"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.

He has sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people He has kept among us Standing Armies without Consent of our legislatures For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us For protecting them from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

This is what I think of when I recognize that the lies Tricia McLaughlin, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, and Trump all told about Renee Good's killing are INCONSISTENT. They're not just inconsistent with the video. They're inconsistent with each other.

Stop falling for the “untrained” narrative.

before murdering renee good, the ice goon was frightened for his life, we’re told It’s meant to justify the murder nobody telling us this ever seems to wonder whether the woman who was murdered might have been afraid for her life killing because you’re afraid is only for cops, it seems

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

Been thinking about this agent since yesterday.

I-94 and Wilson, Chicago, IL

what a year it’s been

This is about the Border Patrol shooting of two individuals near Portland. It's the exact same statement every time, and so far, each time it's been proven false within 24 hours or less. It's a license to kill with impunity. katu.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of people have packed into Chicago's Thalia Hall tonight for a community listening session on CPD collaboration with ICE/CBP. Police district councillors who gathered petition signatures required to hold tonight's hearing are opening by thanking the community for showing out.

Yale Law School never beating the “they don’t teach law at Yale” allegations

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Also: " Border Patrol officials also plan to send all nonlethal weapons housed in Chicago to Minnesota, according to the documents."

Can’t help but wonder if we’d know who Good’s killer was if Noem hadn’t given up details of this other incident he was involved in. Maybe Noem should arrest herself for “doxing” him.

"The Department of Homeland Security plans to pause operations in Chicago — where Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official, has led controversial arrest efforts — to support the immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota."

i think it’s ultimately good that mainstream outlets are correcting the facts about ice/cbp, but these types of stories completely ignore their reporters’ and editors’ own complicity in helping dhs fabricate a narrative in the first place.

The person who was shot in the face here is a local organizer who has been very active in the Movement for Black lives.

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.

Holy shit, I'm honestly surprised this man was not killed. These 40mm launchers are never meant to be aimed at the head, let alone at point blank range. The video posted in the replies shows them doing the exact same thing to another man just before this. They truly do not care if you live or die.

Ongoing and obvious reminder that firing chemical weapons directly at people's heads like this *is* deadly force.

And guess what? They get tons of "training!" The problem isn't training, it's the entire institution of sanctioned state violence.

During the Broadview protest on Sept. 27, CBP agent David Dubar threw not one or two, but three Triple Chaser CS gas grenades at protesters. On Oct. 14 he threw four of the same grenades at residents in East Side. Each grenade separates into 3 separate canisters upon detonation.

All these crooks are going to scam so much more money off things like this.

Chicago has *not* yet seen a surge in DHS activity since a gaggle of ~50 feds were seen arriving and then renting cars on Tuesday afternoon. We simply don't know at this time where the agents and their rentals went (though we have theories). People remain on high alert.

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison on NPR this a.m. talked about the need for a thorough & independent investigation into the shooting, involving the state. Said ideally FBI shouldn’t be involved given the current politicization of the agency & noted Noem has already pre-determined they did nothing wrong…

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

A Republican House member endorsing the open murder of an American on the streets of Minneapolis.

Trump's goons are already pepper spraying and roughing up people in the Twin Cities this morning

After the killing of Ms Good, Greg Bovino of the CPB led a raid on a Minneapolis HS. An official there said: They don’t care. They’re just animals,” I’ve never seen people behave like this.” All MPLS schools now closed for the week. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Three issues of concern: 1. How the US is behaving 2. How other leaders are reacting. 3. How media are portraying. If 1 was terrible but 2 and 3 were robust ... This example of media coverage of the US’s “Greenland plans” struck me

Not just a license to kill, they want to see more killing.

Anyone who was out in Chicago during the two months of occupation knows full well that it could have gone this way for any of us. Still could. And we’ll still go out.

Daniel out here doing the lords work.

This story kinda came and went but the fact that the government is explicitly and vocally thanking all the major media outlets for adhering to the bro code feels very relevant right now!!

For people who have not yet had ICE descend on their city, I think it’s hard to convey how all-encompassing their presence is. You constantly hear about the neighbors they’ve taken, get texts about where not to go that day, see signs from where people were taken, hear whistles from down your block.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

Dexter Reed had at least three Chicago police officers with guns drawn shouting contradictory orders at him in his car just before they killed him.

"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?" If we only had some trusted institution that could adjudicate between competing claims by relying on facts.

This is the current front page of the Times. The Washington Post is even worse. Their headlines are privileging the accounts of the administration with a track record of lying as being as valid as eye witness accounts and videos.
