DHS is exploiting the lack of press attention to spread lies about this morning's protest at Broadview. There were no attempts to enter the facility, forcibly or otherwise. ICE were the only ones using weapons and explosives. The protests were peaceful in message and form.

Quote from Evanston mayor: "We were standing here with a group of people literally doing nothing [...] There was no disturbance. There was no chaos. There was no effort to move a car in or out. They just shot at us as though for sport."

Tear gas, pepper balls, and other projectiles being deployed against protesters this morning at Broadview ICE facility. The protests were peaceful. Chanting, singing. Then every few minutes, federal agents would shoot stuff at us. You really can't believe how blatant this is until you see it.

Donald Trump is not concerned about safety — only about inciting fear and creating chaos. Federal officers must follow the law in Illinois and respect constitutional rights to peaceful assembly without the fear of intimidation and physical harm.

ICE is "making war" on Broadview — and it must stop, suburban mayor says. blockclubchi.co/4mAjs3u

Protesters tried to stop an ICE vehicle. The agent kept driving through the crowd. Broadview PD stayed on traffic control on 25th, as the agent kept driving through the crowd.

No protester has taken any violent action and yet ICE has deployed at least a dozen canisters of tear gas, detonated a flash bang in a man’s face, and now a sniper is shooting us with pepper balls.

up in heaven after the rapture i just saw god take a tylenol

ICE vehicle with "Fuck ICE" bumper sticker, leaving the gate at Broadview detention facility. They're luring people with a false sense of security. Don't fall for it. Stay vigilant and warn your neighbors.

Acetaminophen and Paracetamol brands: whew, that was a close one!

It’s what people deserve for driving on the Kennedy

Hey look the bears are doing something

What if Colbert ended up being our Churchill? What if the South Park Guys end up like two white American Nelson Mandelas? What if AOC ends up being our own personal Margaret Thatcher? What if Zohran becomes Mugabe? What if Eric Adams stepped into his destiny as America’s Nikita Khrushchev???

This antifa thing is wild for many reasons, but not least because uh didn't we all kinda stop using the word circa 2021?

Midwest next! Come on, Illinois!

God, do we really not have anyone better to rally around than Jimmy Kimmel?

Congratulations to all the shows that won Emmys, they sound cool, I’ll definitely check them out when I’m done watching 500 episodes of Antiques Roadshow

It's always so weird when something like this happens and it triggers this whole discourse about how we're supposed to feel when a detestable person dies. I feel like it shows how little many of us (the privileged among us) think about death, its significance, and the limits of that significance.

I mean, historically, has anybody ever made the "acceptable levels of violence" argument and not regretted it?

I like the honesty in the South Shore Line conductor who just told the train "All doors *should* open."

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Attn all ICE agents! Here’s an announcement from our front window: Chicago hates you, and you are not welcome here!

Barometric pressure headaches are the worst. Like, I was just incapacitated for 5 hours because it's a beautiful fall day.

The thing about TERFs is that although they spend a lot of their initial energy trying to cast their position as rational and civil, they invariably show themselves to be actually, /pathologically/, paranoid.

I am once again asking the Tribune editorial board to get a grip

Would like to put myself forward as new host of BBC Radio 4 In Our Time. Qualifications: have experience in choosing tea or coffee, getting other people to do all the work in academic roundtables.

Actually, you know what? I'm gonna say that this is a legitimately practical idea, and I'm calling on @govpritzker.illinois.gov to order IDOT to slow down and ramp up. Now's the time to fix all those potholes! Leave no project left untouched! Close all the lanes you want!

IDOT, currently working on reopening the Kennedy, has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

I like this list, but I'd demote fireworks and coke freestyle just two slots to be able to fit in Wikipedia and soup of the day

🚨NEW LOCATION: we will protest at MICHIGAN AVE & IDA B. WELLS DRIVE **Please share widely to spread the word about this change**

I wish I didn't have to, but I am looking forward to defending my city alongside my friends and neighbors.

Any of my Chicago followers want to help me booby-trap the city, Home Alone style?

Word from the McLaren pit wall: 👍🎹

I love the Dutch rain

Sometimes you have to release yourself from certain snobberies that you may not have even known you were harboring in order to liberate your human soul. The reintroduction of soft serve ice cream cones into my life has been nothing but positive.

This will put the US at the back with respect to scientific and cultural output.

Executing my first car-less trip from Chicago to northern Michigan. So far the first leg--flawless Amtrak to Kalamazoo and lunch at Bells--has been a dream.

How do I know which ones are friendly?

Not to harp on this point, but it really sucks that the liberal arts are under attack and instead of fighting, admin are using it as an excuse to cover up their own financial mismanagement

the Foggy Mountain Breakdown banjo riff has been played faster and faster every year since 1949 which means that soon banjo pickers will be able to play the riff in negative time allowing them to use the riff to travel back in time to before the original Earl Scruggs recording in order to…….

There's a dude just playing scales on a saxophone AT THE GATE at O'Hare. And I think I respect it but I'm not sure

My Southwest flight just announced at the gate that even though it's a full flight, not enough people have checked bags to balance the plane. And I wonder whose fault that is

I really hope ModerateWill keeps popping up in my life with his moderate takes. I hope I sit next to him on the Red Line and he says something about how he'd feel a lot safer taking the train with more police around. He knows what he's about and I respect that.

If I were a Von Trapp child I simply would not have let Maria get away with that "note to follow so" bs
