The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. That’s the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogue’s stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the Condé portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.

There is not one way to stop all this. There are going to be a lot of tactics on many fronts, in many places, from lots of different people & organizations. What we keep doing is what Starbuck said when the Cylons invaded New Caprica: "We fight 'em. Until we can't." We still can. Emphasis on "we"

Do I believe those at the top at ICE/DHS/BP are going to willingly & consistently change how their foot soldiers operate in Chi (& elsewhere) after this ruling? Not really. But it may help lay the groundwork for LESS violence, MORE consequences. I v much hope blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/06/h...

As I said in this piece written in early October, the core people causing dangerous situations & fear & chaos & physical & mental harm ARE THE FEDS/ICE/BP AGENTS WHO INVADED Chicago www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

ICE is a team sport for guys who would otherwise be school shooters

In retrospect ICE fucking with the Pope's hometown may turn out to have been a mistake

Senator Ron Alting: 317-232-9400 Gov. Braun: 317-232-4567

Next year, it's Indiana's turn! We will elect new leaders who put the people first.

Shame on you, Ron Alting!

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin. How times change.

fun thing happening with flock cameras is the federal government getting into the data might be inadvertently turning cities against then and into turning the cameras off entirely www.king5.com/article/news...

If the White House wanted to quiet down this congressional action, it could simply publicly announce that it will not attack Venezuela without congressional authorization. But the administration is not doing that.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago. Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

PHOTOS: 'Yo tengo papeles': Teacher detained by immigration agents in North Center day care READ MORE HERE: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

W H A T oh my god this was a totally new one to me????

📽️ WATCH: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. Trump justified the deployment of National Guard troops by calling the city "War ravaged," with an ICE office under siege. That's not what we found. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/43fRCmF

It’s becoming a trend: states with restrictive anti-choice laws are losing OB-GYNS. States with full-on bans, like Texas, force doctors to make impossible decisions that could cost patients’ lives, and they want to be able to provide the right care. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

"Criminals posing as US immigration officials" So in other words, ICE?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

This is naked fascism in broad daylight. The people ICE detains are not "the worst of the worst." Many are US citizens. Irrespective of their status, these people are being denied their Constitutional rights as ICE commits brazenly illegal acts for which there must be accountability.

I've started literally weeping multiple times tonight for this community. Beyond occurring mere blocks from somewhere I lived, I have no connection to these people, but this one has hit extra hard. Had we stayed in Chicago, our kids could have very well attended that preschool.

JFC!!!

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

last weekend was rough but IT TURNS OUT that if agents of the state purposefully throw chemical irritants at myself and other peaceful protestors, what they've actually done is just create HULK MO. Science warned them but DID THEY LISTEN???

I'm good now but last wkend, lot of things emotionally hit me, incl what I've seen in our city & at Broadview ICE. Doing things w my hands helps. tonite did 2nd ICIRR training& listened to Mamdani's victory speech while putting together whistle packets. Felt purposeful, energized. We're going to win

Honestly, I’m sick and tired of government officials putting Chicago residents on the line of fire. Is the city going to do something? Are they going to prosecute someone?

“If ever you feel despair in the coming days, look around you. Think about tonight. This is our community,” Martin said. “There are four of them, there are hundreds of us. Do not stop, we need you to keep showing up.”

Ald. Matt Martin says coworkers tried to come to her aid, told agents to leave. Says she may be in Broadview, but no one is certain. You could feel that statement in the crowd’s reaction. “They dragged an educator outside her place of employment,” he said.

“We may have come over on different shops, but we’re in the same boat now,” Quigley closes.

Tyler and I are out here at the rally where the crowd has about doubled since this first post. Easily 400+ people. Group is chanting “no hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here.”

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Ald. Andre Vasquez is now speaking.

Ald. Andre shouted out the whistle patrol, and everyone in the crowd blew their whistles all at once, causing a nearby car alarm to sound.

Dozens of parents who have students at the daycare in question have taken to the stage as a parent named Tara speaks in support of Diana.

Cuomo sexually harrassed Lindsey Boylan - and many others. Good enough reason for her to be relieved and happy that he's not mayor of New York. www.democracynow.org/2025/10/15/l...

This lady did so much by speaking up. May she be an example to us all.

An honor to get momos with our Mayor-elect today! 🥟🗽🌹 #TeamNoSleep

What’s more Chicago right now than handing off 200 whistles in a Portillos bag.

If you call upon the best people in romancelandia, no weapon formed against you shall prosper. @mostlybree.kitrocha.com made these whistles & is sending TONS mo’ to Chicago. I just made these whistle packets to hand out at Broadview ICE & elsewhere. Teamwork really makes the Fuck ICE dream work!! 💚👊🏻

As horrifying as this whole thing has been, it hits harder when it's somewhere so close to a place you've lived. My wife's and my first apartment together was in St. Ben's, and this just really kicked my teeth in. All love to Chicago. Fuck ICE.

Tell me what? Under President Biden the U.S. was leading the world in pandemic recovery and inflation was cooling! Yes prices were still too high, but Republicans lied about the cause of inflation and promised to lower prices only to turn around and drive up costs for Americans.

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history. She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Public company structures should burn. All public companies should be forced to become public benefit corporations, that serve all of humanity, for the greater good, not just the privileged few. Our sole purpose in life should be to help every single fellow human being to get all their needs met.

"“So if you get a trillion dollars over 10 years, that’s $275 million a day,” he said, calculating how much Musk would earn daily, on average, if the package pays off as planned." Insane. Nobody should be given that much money and power.

KAT continues to be one of the most relatable people running for Congress. :)

A very powerful piece that should be widely read!

The police are defunding Chicago.

Hillary was right. Deplorable.
