The same party that symbolically gave us universal healthcare.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Dems will throw us under the bus each time. To eradicate fascism fully, we will have to go through them.

It's nuts. I can feel it everywhere I go in this city. Everybody in every neighborhood is exhausted, traumatized, and on alert, ready to protect our neighbors. I don't go anywhere without a whistle and a fully charged phone these days.

Federal agents shot pepper spray into a car of passersby with a small child.

Goddamn socialists. 😉 electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Mamdani victory speech starting with a Eugene V. Debs quote! How wonderful!

Better things are possible. Still.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Solidarity and felicidades to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, and, even more importantly, to the thousands and thousands of working class New Yorkers who formed this beautiful coalition.

LOVE TO SEE IT! HELL YEAH NEW YORK!

Protect RP, a rapid response immigrant support network started in 2017 by a group of Rogers Park neighbors, has compiled a list of GoFundMe’s for families in the neighborhood impacted by ICE / CBP abductions and presence in Chicago:

Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

Beautiful, smart and aloof but not so aloof you still don’t kill it at work. Surely the @nypost.com knows these three things are what every New Yorker aspires for? Lol.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to the Democrats. *Cool fact, unfavorable is 5% HIGHER than the anti-constitutional fascist GOP party! Anyway, let’s go Mamdani!

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

International Night at my kids school in Chicago was cancelled/postponed because of ICE raids and community safety. I cannot stress enough how lawless and vile their presence is here.

Just beautiful. We really can have this energy, humor, and working class solidarity on a national scale. m.youtube.com/watch?si=vXu...

Weaponizing food is exactly what fascists do. What happens next when 40 million + Americans go hungry?

In Chicago, an Albany Park resident and father was detained by ICE and his child is recovering from surgery. Please consider helping if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/pypff-help...

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.

I will never forgive or forget those who support ICE, who support terrorizing my family, my friends, my neighbors, my colleagues. Stand strong Chicago! We will outlast the hateful fascists. hammerandhope.org/article/trum...

Organizing for and with solidarity works.

I can't stand AI, but, to be fair, this is also my kids.

Between this and the Louvre prosecutor describing the suspects’ statements as “minimalist” while bragging that they had worked on the case over a weekend it’s an absolutely incredible week for Frenchness

“This is not a signal chat not the House of Representatives.” Lol.

super proud to be part of this @wbez.org story alongside two amazing writers, love that I was photoshopped so that it looks like I’m lurking & about to jumpscare the both of them www.wbez.org/books/2025/1...

Beyond proud to be a part of this amazing team and community! Chicago will never bend to fascists.

Tolkien is not perfect but he did, in fact, hate the fucking Nazis.

From our President to CBS to major universities, American institutions are telling us point blank they are here, once again, for segregation.

Just total joy and charming humor here. Plus actual unabashed democratic socialist values to help all New Yorkers. Viva @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social !

Segregationists. They are planning for and want apartheid.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Abolish ICE or we don’t have a nation or a constitution.

So proud of my city. 👊❤️ (Albany Park is a diverse neighborhood on the northwest side of Chicago.) * Continuing to fight the "Chicago is a hellhole" narrative: I saw this because I biked a few miles to a lovely chocolate cafe on a gorgeous fall day where the leaves were starting to turn golden.

I beg to differ. ICE agents are rats. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

Border Patrol's Greg Bovino likes to say his agents are welcomed by 99 percent of people in Chicago but as they drive around the city, they're met with constant shouts of "get the fuck out of here!"

Dozens of Little Village high schoolers walked out of class today to protest immigration raids. Students held signs reading “My parents fought for my future, now I will fight for theirs,” and “We speak for those who can’t.” blockclubchi.co/431dfqy

I will always be a Chicagoan before an American because my nation seems intent on destroying my city time in and time again.

Read all of this.

Border Patrol Agents and ICE are cosplaying civil war.

Bovino is going to court, but remember this image. It’s also the future image of every ICE & Border Patrol chief and agent getting locked up for both shredding constitutional rights and for crimes against humanity.

“Chicago is the future.“ @joseolivarez.bsky.social for @chicagomag.com

Worth noting that many youth who resisted the Vichy regime in Paris grew up to be leaders who organized for health care, pensions, shorter work weeks, affordable housing and, yes, even subsidized grocery stores and bookstores. Why?Once you fight fascists and capitalists, it never leaves your bones.

They’ve decided that kidnapping working class immigrants and tear gassing children in Chicago worked so well that it should go national.

Withholding money for food and finding money for every unnecessary thing is what sparked the French Revolution. Literally.

By erasing our past, we have no future as a nation. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/u...

“Again and again we were told the only way to beat the Republican Party was to become the Republican Party […] and the choice that we made was to stop listening to those experts and to start listening to you” Mamdani is so good at this

Exactly. An effective political party in this moment should be functioning as a hundred thousand different mutual aid groups across the country.
