ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

The City of Escondido Accepted a $67,000 Contract with the Department of Homeland Security to Allow special agents to train at the Escondido Police Departments Firing Range. Mayor White told L.A. TACO that the contract will be discussed at the Escondido city council meeting on February 25.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

They did this to a white male veteran abcnews.go.com/US/army-vet-...

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

More and more apps aren't compatible with my old, brick phone. Sliding back to the oughts when we did all this stuff at a computer and then walked away, and I'm not even mad about it.

First they decided to strip nursing of its “professional” designation. Now they’re removing a requirement that ensured nursing homes receiving Medicare or Medicaid funding had an RN available 24/7. This regime doesn’t care about the elderly & disabled. This policy change will kill people.

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

No health care, no deal.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I love that my Senator's Chicago office AND DC office don't accept voicemail. HEAVY SARCASM FONT.

Remember: no matter who is in the Oval Office, you can always fight for change at the state and local levels. Just look at New Mexico.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

If you need the food bank right now, there’s no shame. Shame belongs to a system that pays poverty wages, cuts childcare, and lets healthcare bankrupt families. If you can give, do. If you can’t, that’s okay too. We rise by lifting each other. Go to FeedingAmerica.org.

The Trump administration is restricting the number of refugees it admits annually into the country to 7,500 and they will mostly be white South Africans. https://to.pbs.org/4hBgn2h

NEW — In response to the pause in SNAP benefits scheduled for Nov. 1 due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, Gov. JB Pritzker signed an order to designate $20 million in state funding for 2,600 food pantries across Illinois. thetriibe.com/2025/10/prit...

That's the opposite of what these goons are doing. *See all of the videos of gaitered cowards throwing gas canisters on residential streets for no goddamn reason with kids around.*

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

Jesus...that there are people who think this ok is despicable. Absolute ghouls walk among us.

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

(from the inbox) Less than an hour later this morning, just before 10:30 at Roscoe and Harding, feds again released gas as they were driving away, unobstructed, from a relatively small number of neighbors.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

They just gassed Wrigleyville. Yes, Wrigleyville

In Wrigleyville in Chicago right now— ICE/CBP has reportedly been targeting laborers in the area all morning. A large number of neighbors are gathered outside a house where agents snatched a man. His lunch is still here on the ground. Area is clear of feds for now, gas deployed earlier.

An extensive new report just dropped detailing attacks on protesters and neighbors outside the Broadview detention center:

NEW: I found 17 sheriffs in Illinois that have contracts to detain people for ICE through U.S. Marshals Service contracts. IL law explicitly prohibits these types of intergovernmental service agreements. news.wttw.com/2025/10/22/d...

IL Congressman Mike Quigley just shared a link to an emergency community meeting on ICE and there will be an ICE rapid response training as part of this presentation -- happening now & I'm watching www.youtube.com/live/-2Qotyf...

Chicago No Kings

If you go to the resource table at the Broadview ICE protests, as of yesterday, they had a whole rack of inflatables & costumes you could borrow. (also sharing their wish list and a way to get those excellent folks $$ if you can 💚🐸)

We've been told to record everything, so...thank you to the people putting yourselves on the line to get this out. Called the Governor's office to ask why ISP is beating people with batons given what he's said on camera. Response was "I'll tell him you oppose them being there" and they hung up.

You officially live in a “show me your papers” nation, if you were wondering how far along things are now. And ICE took his unhoused friend.
