Chicagoans had campaigns to buy out local tamale vendors who couldn't go out on the street and redistribute that food to families in need! Always good to find multiple ways to help in one fell swoop.

Don Lemon was not the only journalist arrested -- Georgia Fort was as well. Don Lemon has the resources to come out of this just fine. Georgia Fort may not. Let's make sure the focus is on both of them.

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

“When your ‘bug’ consistently affects anti-Trump content, Epstein references, and anti-ICE videos, you’re looking at either spectacular coincidence or systems that have been designed to flag and suppress specific political content.”

There are literally years of scientific studies showing that behavior does not change when body cams are worn, other than the fact that sometimes they are turned off.

trauma is not a contest but the degree to which all these national people are treating everything in MN—from the attacks to the resistance tactics—as novel goes to show how much of a fail it was from the people who had the biggest platforms here to support us.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti, the man shot by ICE in Minneapolis, appears to have previously worked with the federal government at the VA. There is a photo of him on the VA website, where he’s cited as part of a medical research team. www.vacsp.research.va.gov/CSP_2004/CSP...

In Illinois we have a primary to replace Durbin in six weeks and no one is talking about it. This week one of the tipsheets here was focused on the mayoral being a year away. Shit is real broken.

YES, and, to those around the country (LA, DC, Chicago, etc.) who did it before the national media were paying attention.

They killed a 37 year old white male nurse who was a citizen and had no criminal background. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

For folks asking: yes, the person shot has died. Just announced. The video circulating shows what can only be described as an execution.

OMG

There are an incredible number of examples of this from Chicago. There's a reason whistles spread rapidly here and to other cities from here.

Solidarity with Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Minnesota, and anyone else on the general strike today. ✊🏻

Hopefully @marisakabas.bsky.social can help make this happen?

Flashlights (not candles). Smoke/carbon monoxide alarms. Knowing where the vents to your home are so you can clear them of snow. Do it all. We're being given so much time with this storm.

Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now.

This is how it felt in Chicago for 2+ months this fall, and we expect to be targeted again this spring. It was like this for all residents, no matter their color or citizenship status. LA, DC, and Chicago were mostly ignored by the national media/electeds. Let's not allow MSP to have the same fate.

Every single Democratic elected official that *isn't* talking about what ICE and CBP are doing right now is just incredibly out of touch.

This part absolutely rips my heart to shreds. The trauma this poor family had to suffer is incredible, and more importantly, unnecessary.

Something Dems could actually do, and easily -->

If you think the thing that made Chicago stand out is the priests, I have a whistle to sell you.

I love that the hospitality/food service industry is at the forefront of this movement. ✊🏻

JUST IN: The Virginia Senate has approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights. The Virginia House already did this on Wednesday. It's official: there'll be a referendum later this year on the issue.

Jesus. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

hearing from sources that Amelia Bedelia has been arrested in connection with the water-pouring assault. "but it was ICE headquarters," she said

Israel does not represent Jews around the world. Israeli leadership, in fact, hates the Jewish diaspora, and secular Jews. Fascism and corruption are what Netanyahu believes in.

UPDATE: Jack Daniel’s parent co. Brown-Forman tells me it has nothing to do with CBS’ “Whiskey Friday” concept. “Jack Daniel’s is not involved in any such segment, nor do we have any awareness of the segment and any potential partnerships or sponsorships.”

Verizon is down in an outage across much of the country. You can still send texts if you are using RCS and WiFi.

Heads up, DC neighbors. Scheduled between midnight and 2:00AM. Will likely wake us all.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

The national response to Minneapolis has me revisiting the killing of Silverio González Villegas by ICE in Franklin Park, IL. I reported on it last fall. Worth remembering. southsideweekly.com/a-tragic-hom...

This was also the experience here in Chicago for months, and our community expects something similar when they plan to return in full force in early spring.

"Quit using your First Amendment rights"

The guys behind the oft-quoted company motto, "Do no evil."

LOL, why would anyone trust her on this?

The flu is everywhere right now. Here are the most common first signs of the virus 😷 www.huffpost.com/entry/early-...

DC has about 700K residents, and a few million more in the surrounding area. This is our home. It’s not a punch line or a far away boogeyman. After J6 there were no ‘DC Strong’ hashtags or athletes cussing on TV b/c America doesn’t think about us like that. But we’re here. And today we’re sad.

And that night, after the terror and insanity at the capitol, these criminals dispersed, largely unmolested, into our streets, our restaurants, our hotels. We in DC dealt with the clean up, mental and physical. We dealt with and are continuing to deal with increased security

As we, the good people of America, remember J6 with horror and sadness, spare a thought for the residents of the city it happened in. DC is often overlooked as a place where folks live, but this trauma happened to us, on our streets, in the place we call home.

🧊✈️ MINNEAPOLIS & OMAHA‼️ ⚠️ ICE Air is coming to your cities 🛬 MSP — 9:45am 🛬 OMA —12:15pm Eastern 737 – Tail: N660CP 👀

Thankful to these corporations for keeping their promises.

Five years ago today we were presented with what would be either the strengthening of our democracy or it's waning and ultimate downfall. I still find the memories of that day crushing. Everything that has happened since is a direct line from the dereliction of duty our leaders showed that day.

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something." They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable. These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

why would you even bother getting into elected office to watch democracy go quietly into the night. christ

who gives a shit about power levers. if you don't even attempt to start the process of impeachment, the fuck is the point of anything. "step on me daddy. please rig the next election, daddy" bsky.app/profile/squo...

Delia calls for impeachment.
