Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

ICE is lying. Go figure

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg raised her fist as she and about 160 other Global Sumud Flotilla participants arrived in Greece to roaring cheers. Crowds welcomed them after their release from illegal Israeli detention. Greta later addressed supporters — her remarks are below.

FINALLY

JUST IN: Chicago journalistsa re suing DHS and ICE over force used against reporters: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If it's really an invasion (and it is) then maybe we need to do something beyond just calling it what it is. Close the borders? Deploy Illinois Guard to protect us? Some kind of economic sanctions against Texas or the US? You said you would protect your people. It's time for action.

Yes all good that you’re calling it out but what are you and the elected officials of IL going to do????

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day, still here for some reason

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT

queen shit, rest in peace

ICIRR, BPNC, and the southwest side rapid response team are out with a joint statement recounting what rapid response team members and neighbors observed at 40th & Kedzie, where federal agents shot somebody earlier today, repudiating DHS claims. Full statement here: www.instagram.com/p/DPaGLCEjW5C

“All right,” said Frog. “I am ready.”

The troops are coming to Chicago, fam. Remember, we have resources for this moment. Connect to ongoing efforts. Chicagoans love Chicago, and we will support each other.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

Toad was in bed, taking a nap.

Just witnessed Chicagoans following this undercover ICE vehicle (Black pick-up truck) heading south on Ashland honking their horns incessantly and alerting everyone that ICE was coming.

U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez released statement on particularly chaotic day and chaotic week: ICE is out of control. ICE is operating with impunity outside the confines of the law. ICE is trampling our rights. ICE is terrorizing our communities.

Today so far feds in Chicagoland have: Attacked & arrested protesters at the Broadview detention center w/the help of the ISP other agencies Tear gassed a street in Logan Square that has a grocery store & elementary school on it, among other things Violently handcuffed an Alderperson It's 3pm

The @blockclubchi.bsky.social newsroom continues to report on today’s federal immigration activity across Chicago. If you have footage of agent activity you filmed, please reach out via this website: callforvideos.formstack.com/forms/chicag...

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW: (Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122 (Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831 Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336 I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

This is literally directly across the street from an elementary school.

Masked federal agents engaging in casual, reckless violence against the community—tossing tear gas canisters outside of an elementary school because they were blocked in traffic.

Why is Pritzker letting IL state cops help ICE abuse his state??

Hell is not hot enough ailatexas.org/news/ice-ope...

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

These are the specific things that got recalled. Be careful, guys

With Chicago in the ICE crosshairs right now, here are some independent and nonprofit media orgs to read, follow and support. Unraveled: @unraveledpress.com Block Club Chicago: @blockclubchi.bsky.social Chicago Reader: @chicagoreader.com The TRiiBE: @thetriibe.com WBEZ: @wbez.org

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

:((((((

And now for today's good news ... a wonderful librarian now has a full time job getting people excited about books. All kinds of books. Even the diverse ones that the government doesn't want you to read.

Guys! DO NOT RESUBSCRIBE JUST BECAUSE THEY PUT KIMMEL BACK ON! A lot of us have been boycotting Disney for over a year due to their complicity in genocide. What matters to you more- one white guy being “cancelled” or an entire people being systematically wiped out? Priorities guys!

Agents remain in the area, and this is an ongoing operation. Please make informed decisions about travel to downtown today. Reminder: If you witness any possible ICE activity, or know someone who has been detained, call the Family Support Hotline at 855-435-7693

ICIRR Eyes on ICE Update: At approximately 1pm today, the Rapid Response Network verified the presence of over 50 federal agents in Downtown Chicago near Millennium Park, as well as the Apple Store, Chicago River, and other locations along Michigan Avenue.

BITCH

happy frog Friday! 🐸🍁🍄 #frogart

Assata Shakur exchanged letters with Audre Lorde from prison, and Lorde wrote for her the poem "For Assata": I dream of your freedom as my victory and the victory of all dark women who forego the vanities of silence 👇Here's the whole poem
