OF COURSE JONATHAN ROSS IS FROM PEKIN. Anyone with ties to that area understands why I’m saying this.

Crowd protesting in the Home Ave bridge over 290 in Oak Park

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

This is happening in Oak Park, at least, and I would encourage this act of solidarity elsewhere.

ICE are murderous thugs.

When ICE agents killed Silverio Villegas González in a Chicago suburb this past September, DHS initially claimed the agent who shot him was "seriously injured." The agents themselves said their injuries were "nothing major." Something to keep in mind w/ whatever DHS says about this latest shooting.

It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall. It's probably not your fault—too much news. But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.

Why is anyone still on X? If this isn’t your last straw and you stay on it, then I don’t want to know you.

me every single day

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Yep.

This is fucking insanity

Oh good we started a fucking war. This country is the worst.

NYE isn’t the same without gin and Janet. My teenager just said he wants a show where people just get sloppy drunk and boy do I feel that.

The reality is: disabled children are the first to lose services. They talk a big talk about caring for innocent helpless kids, but children are the least valued members of society. They’re expendable. They can’t fight for themselves. We are awful to children and the people who care for them.

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

the vice president is a klansman

Cher is almost 80. Who gives a crap if she’s lip syncing. ☠️ Also, HOW IS SHE ALMOST 80 HOLY SHIT

“Detainees […] were shackled inside a 2ft high metal cage and left outside without water for up to a day at a time…”

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

Jesus fucking Christ

Seriously, these need to be treated as ADA violations, and fined. Hey, it's not too late to add a new tax to next year's Chicago budget!

She "haunted" Broadview ICE for years while alive. Betcha this saintly woman is already assembling a heavenly crew to haunt the heck out of DHS/ICE/CBP agents for eternity. 🕯️ RIP Sister JoAnn Persch

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

Hold up

I’m grateful to everyone who came out to support me at the Dirksen courthouse as I, alongside five others, fight unjust federal charges in defense of our First Amendment right to peacefully protest. For those asking how else they can support, please consider contributing to my legal defense fund.

Well, unfortunately

I can't think of anything to say

A systematic review of 511 studies showed that immunisation against COVID-19, RSV, and influenza was safe and effective in people of all ages.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

This week in grassroots organizing.

Welcome to Antifa, Lori Lightfoot

I know him. He’s an amazing advocate and a good friend. This is fascism.

Also, anyone who thinks I’m a Tankie is sooooooo far off the mark, lol. I’m a boring old progressive. I’m also pragmatic. I voted for Kamala. Apparently there’s no room for nuance anymore. 😬

Boy, it’s weird how MUSTPROTECT people are about JB Pritzker. He can both generally be a good politician and be wrong about some stuff. 🤷🏻‍♀️

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

30 people disappeared in this shaded area today.

Feds deploy tear gas in Albany Park as neighbors respond to them detaining people. One person was taken, though another was freed. “I was afraid to go over there. I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back."

This is some bullshit right here, brought to you by the Village of Broadview and the State of Illinois. It’s time for a lawsuit.

People keep waiting for "the thing," some kind of bright line that makes it all clear. There's already blood in the water. Clarity isn't coming anytime soon.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

This needs to be repeated. Stephen Miller is effectively the President of the United States.

A riot team from ISP is here with helmets and batons. Free speech protected.

So Trump is defunding the police.

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

You are one of the most powerful governors in the entire country, with a trifecta, strong approval, and presidential prospects. What are you going to do about it?

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

I feel like those agents pulled that whole scene downtown today so they could get photos like this one. They wanted propaganda images of their guys mobbing up and grabbing people in iconic downtown Chicago locations. Nazi tourist bitches.

After fencing appeared overnight to keep protesters away from the Broadview ICE facility, federal agents are using the parking lot at 2000 S 25th to get in and out, with the apparent cooperation of Broadview police.
