small ass baby plans ! weak miniscule deficient plans !

Today so far feds in Chicagoland have: Attacked & arrested protesters at the Broadview detention center w/the help of the ISP other agencies Tear gassed a street in Logan Square that has a grocery store & elementary school on it, among other things Violently handcuffed an Alderperson It's 3pm

Like what the hell else do you call this but terrorism. This is right next to an elementary school

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

My friend shared some photos and videos of what she saw in front of Rico Fresh in Logan Square a short while ago.

Thanks for putting up with what is definitely an annoying flood of one specific topic on your timelines. We are in the midst of an emergency of opposition strategy: one of the few governors who has been outspoken against this administration is currently betraying us by collaborating with ICE.

it's really funny for the dev team to talk about the TOS as if it's some sort of natural objective truth and not a list of rules they made up that they could change at any time

This culture is broken, it's not just a problem with our government. America has a sick culture. The vulnerable are really hated to the bone as common sentiment. All mad people know this & all poor people know this. The country refuses to interrogate its antiblackness whose cruelty has only morphed.

They raided an entire apartment building in Chicago, zip tied children, and kidnapped 40 people.

decentralized platforms! federation! user input! i’m here because i suffer from a cluster of character defects that force me to say stupid stuff all day long i’m not here because i know what any of that is lmao

I wrote some Chicago-inspired city poems

I'm not delusional about this but I do think it's beyond hypocritical for the governor to have been telling people to protest and then to see this. The governor is more accountable to me than the ISP are so I figured might as well do something within my immediate ability

I just called the governor's office because I'm deeply concerned with what I am seeing at Broadview today, with Illinois State Police detaining people who are doing what the governor has been telling Illinoisans to do: protesting and filming federal agents gov.illinois.gov/contact-us/c...

In case you're wondering whether the TRUST Act will protect anyone: Border patrol just attacked press and protesters inside ISP's designated "free speech zone" and the state police reacted by immediately establishing a protective perimeter for the feds

I cannot express enough how this is what has been happening for some time in Broadview. Federal agents assault, shoot chemical munitions at, and arrest protesters completely unprovoked. And state police are now helping border patrol to combat and arrest protesters. Great work everyone.

If you’re in Illinois and you’re disturbed by the images that you’re seeing of the Illinois State Police in Broadview this morning, please call now. It will honestly take 30 seconds. I spoke to a real person. Here are the phone numbers: 312-814-2121 312-814-2122 217-782-6830 217-782-6831

Like clockwork, we are back to the Republican framing that government assistance is okay if its farmer bailouts and tax cuts for the wealthy & big corporations but hell no for people who need help with healthcare, food or housing.

There are four images of POC. The three which include Black men are all based on them doing sports. The fourth is an Asian American in the west point video who looked like he was included by accident. Most of the images are from the 70s and 80s and so is the music which is when Trump was young.

It's important to note that penning people in to "free speech zones" & rolling out state/local cops in riot gear is a move that always ends with them being heavy-handed/escalating situations with protesters, but allows the state to change the narrative to "bad" protesters deserving harm.

ISP have forced people out of the road (never heard a dispersal warning). Some kind of ISP SWAT unit here now, too.

We’ve been shoved around by state cops with batons. They’ve already arrested one person for being in the street.

we've been watching Schitt's Creek lately so tonight we're watching Cabaret before we get to the Cabaret episode

Griffith was found guilty of failure to disperse and fined $50. That's unconstitutional -- even the DOJ recognizes journalists' right to cover how law enforcement disperses protesters. But it also shows what a giant waste of taxpayer funds it is to prosecute journalists for doing their jobs.

fwiw I don't hear any more cicadas, but the gingko leaves haven't dropped yet

Local media devote so much energy to pearl clutching stories about e-bikes, and I wish they'd siphon some of that energy to stories showing the absolutely transformative impact of e-bikes. There *is* a newsworthy story to be told there if you just talk to people!

someone must have told gavin the game involves destroying hastily built shelters

one last time, with gusto, if anyone in Chicago wants these, please take them! I don't need anything in return. Enjoy Dan's Boogie Tour, please.

ope, we're not going to be able to make it tonight, La is not feeling well. Pair of seated balcony tickets for Destroyer at Thalia Hall tonight. Let me know if you're interested!

yes and I ring my bell at babies

Jay probably thinks the existence of blacksky is something she should be proud of instead of being horrified that a major part of her user base felt so unsafe on here that they had to (as always) carve out their own safe space despite Jay's incompetence and indifference.

Once again wondering why Minneapolis hasn't made 200 more streets like Milwaukee Ave. People love it—and not just the people who live on the street but neighbors who go there to walk and play away from cars.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

I emailed my alder (34), saying this shows municipal leadership, care for moms, care for people with disabilities, and expands on something that downtown dwellers already benefit from

tfw you just left The Joynt

Los del Río are from Spain btw

Never should have stopped calling these guys weird. They're so freaking weird.

To have the mod team look the other way on, or actively encourage, abusive behavior by people who try to harm this community, feels like a betrayal of the communities who kept this place's lights on and made it a place people wanted to congregate.

ICE is up, and there are early reports indicating they're targeting Albany Park again.

"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."
