I realize that it's part of the governor's strategy to keep the National Guard at bay, but facilitating a violent, occupying force to keep another arm of the occupation at bay is not the only strategy, and it's one worthy of critique. Also, all state charges against protesters should be dropped NOW.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

A Waukegan councilman was briefly detained by U.S. immigration agents on Friday, and he says the agents drew their guns on him while he was sitting in his car with his hands raised. “My life flashed before my eyes,” said Ald. Juan Martinez.

Great read about Chicago’s growing resistance movement against Operation Midway Blitz. Story of community, solidarity, and empathy bringing the children of day laborers together with suburban moms. Gift link. By Andrew Carter @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/08/c...

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Members of the community yell towards Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino and federal officers while they conduct an immigration enforcement action Friday in Waukegan.

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

Just observed ICE agents transferring detainees between vehicles at Warren Park — city property. This is prohibited.

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Hello Friends! I need your help. I've submitted a proposal to the Illinois Supreme Court, docketed as Proposal 25-05, to guarantee that undocumented immigrants, disabled people, and legal aid and pro bono attorneys can appear in court remotely. My proposed language is the underlined text below!

I got my copy a few days ago and did a first reading with my friends and family that night! I can't wait to do a more in-depth second read, where I can take my time and let what I need to focus on reach out to me. There's absolutely something for everyone in here, thank you a thousand times!

LRT: This applies to all of us, whether we can scale up or need to scale down to fit our financial circumstances. Even just one person fed and chatted with is a massive win. Get creative, treat people with dignity, and let yourself grow more and more community-minded 💕Thanks for reminding us Romeo!

🚨🚨Wow‼️In these times of uncertainty we need more Romeo’s in the world. He paid for people to eat for an hour and over 200 people were fed. This is the humanity and community we need right now. Bravo, Romeo‼️🔥💥🔥

gonna keep banging this drum: Chicago area folks, if you sign up for Know Your Rights training with @icirr.bsky.social it’s only 90 minutes & through the org, you can be connected with people who are trying to protect our communities. Other ideas: find local food pantries or Mutual Aid groups 💚

“Major never abandoned the struggle against fascism, which is to say, the fight to free us all… the way to honor Major is to keep hammering holes in the walls that confine us, and to expand the trans and queer spaces she built.” - Toshio Meronek & Eric A Stanley truthout.org/articles/to-...

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight. @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Bucket boys giving a nice soundtrack to the Chicago #NoKings march

People are also filling the streets in local neighborhoods across the city!

ISP just arrested at least seven people including a woman with an accordion we they pushed protesters back down beach street. State cops in riot gear, sheriffs police and Broadview cops all on scene. People in fatigues closer to the building but can’t tell if they are Feds

A Judge in Chicago unleashed the Kracken…If ICE agents are caught trying to arrest someone at or around a courthouse, they can be arrested. Cook County's top judge made it illegal for ICE to detain anyone inside or even near a courthouse. That includes the steps, sidewalks, parking lots, & entryways

Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

“I was afraid to go over there,” he said. “I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back. ... These are Americans who know what freedom is — we’re being invaded by strangers.” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

"Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties."

LRT Every communications person ever is screaming somewhere right now I just know it

Who has watched the 24 hour live stream so far that the house Dems are doing on the shutdown????? This should be the biggest story right now and literally 45 people are watching www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrBY...

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community. thetriibe.com/2025/09/feds...
