"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours. 'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

Oh shit! My wife and I have a baby sitter and no plans for Friday Night! Who's got a hot lead for us?

Chicago has journalists. We and others have been documenting ICE attacks on our communities for months. If you're going to parachute in, the least you could do is acknowledge the work already being done here, and demonstrate care for the community being terrorized.

#Chicago, download and print some FREE protest art: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/hbucs...

I fucking love garage murals- if you can, hire an artist to add a bit of fun to someplace where you least expect it.

Ignore whatever Hegseth said about beards and whatever, the military has a proud history of styling facial hair.

I fly the flag of my people. Hot Dog flags are back in stock.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Hey #portland, make your own stickers! Download the pngs of these two graphics here! FREE! www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/h6jau...

Help NPR and then get a shirt to look great as well!

Thanks for the reminder.

Happy October 1st Chicago

Two big meetings tomorrow and one of my kids just woke up puking.

WBEZ, as an NPR station, is losing their funding tonight - but if you’re a of reporting like this show them some love trib.al/ljWsOSh

Give directly to @wbez.org and @npr- I also have these shirts and stickers which I donate a portion of the proceeds to them ($8/shirt and $1/sticker).

I just made a bunch of new STFU stickers and until I find the time to individually add them to my site, the only way to get them is in one of these 3packs! www.harebraineddesign.com/collections/...

Looks like it’s time to tap the sign again (made by the inimitable @harebrained.bsky.social)

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Cristóbal is one of the finest human beings whom I've ever been blessed to know and work with.

Does anyone know if @harebrained.bsky.social does commissions? This feels like it needs a “THE GREAT KHAN OF ILLINOIS WANTS YOU / Report ICE to ICIRR” poster

Cue the @harebrained.bsky.social merch:

Dude is from NY state. Cue the @harebrained.bsky.social.

I got a new slogan for the Chicago tourism board: “Wanna Getaway? Bike Chicago.”

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

That’s a win

I’m out, I'm sore. I'll have more later, but right now I have to say a couple of things. First, walking out of there to learn about the kindness, support, and quick action from so many of you all has meant the world to me, my wife, and co-founder, Raven. Thank you.

The only two stickers you need this weekend.

UPDATE: At 1:27 a.m. on Sept. 28, Unraveled Press reports that co-founder Steve Held has been released. thetriibe.com/2025/09/chic...

Chaos again, feds tackling protesters at random. They just detained @peoplesfabric.com.

These disgusting fascists are now detaining reporters. Release Steve now!

This is horrific. 100% about Steve. We will fight for him along with everyone else unjustly captured by these fascists.

They're grabbing journalists in Chicago tonight. @peoplesfabric.com is half of @unraveledpress.com. The work they do is critical and unparalleled. He needs to be released immediately.

Tis the season!

Pennants don’t have to be for just sports

While documenting unfolding events two journalists sheltering behind a van were directly targeted by ICE agents firing pepper balls. One round struck a woman in the nose, leaving her bleeding. 9:00 a.m. September 25th outside the Broadview ice facility

I get this reference because it's on my calendar! bsky.app/profile/hare...

Got to design the concert poster for the @wbez.org - sponsored Jeff Tweedy show at the Adler Planetarium yesterday. I also got to attend the show, and brought along my pal @harebrained.bsky.social. It was quite an experience seeing a show in the Sky Theater ✨. Did anyone on here else go?

Pennants for your favorite mode of transportation are back. #chicago

The icing on the cake here is that they're showing it as a double bill with Sex House, one of the greatest pieces of TV satire ever created.

Does anyone know if The Patio Theater is still open?

Do you want to screen Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile in your town or city, unlike a cowardly major movie chain? Email us at [email protected]. We'll allow you to screen it for free. Yes, again, this is real.

Three cheers for my new favorite team: Let’s go Chicago Dive Bars! #chicago

THE PUMPKIN KING IS REAL

BREAKING: Further confirmation that the shooter targeted immigrant detainees, not #ICE agents. All three #shooting victims were people ICE was holding and processing at the center. The shooter died of a self inflicted would and has been described as a white male www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-...
