Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

🤬

To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Happening now.

ILLINOIS — BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.” ICE is routinely gassing cops and negatively impacting the community as their detention facility faces protests.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate 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 that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

ICE patrolling the streets of Chicago with dressed in full military uniforms and with real weapons. This is today (Sept. 28).

🚨This is a big deal: suburban chicago police launch an investigation into an ICE attack on local CBS news journalists.

ICE GO HOME! www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/28/i...

Me neighborhood. 🤬

CUBAN ON KIMMEL: “Nexstar & Sinclair don’t know they’re digging their own grave.” @mcuban.bsky.social tells us caving to government censorship means what airs on broadcast TV will suffer, hurting them in ways they don’t yet realize. Full interview: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMNvqR4u/

Dear gestapo trash:

Any man who assaults a woman like this has done it before, many times. Guaranteed. Moreover, look carefully, it's not only physical assault – it's sexual assault too.

There’s a terrible situation at an ICE facility in Chicago. ICE GOONS are forcefully arresting people, pushing through protesters, and even lobbing tear gas at reporters.

My body hurts and will probably hurt way more tomorrow. But it’s a lot less pain than what our neighbors are enduring inside the Broadview ICE facility.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

ICE killed a Chicago area man last week. His name was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. He wasn't "the worst of the worst." He was a cook. ICE hopes we'll forget about him. We won't.

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people? He still has a job. No apology. No retraction. Just let us know, Fox.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

idk who needs to hear this, but HEAR IT

In Chicago, we are like siblings. We may not always get along with each other, but don’t you dare come along from outside and mess with my family. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Now, at the Hampton Inn of Downers Grove Illinois where Homeland Security is staying.

@piperformissouri.bsky.social Here's your confirmation of salt trucks today in Chicago.

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinois—U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants. People screamed: “Who are you? Where are you taking them?” This is authoritarian control in real time.

Salt melts ICE. Chicago is ready. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/07/c...

Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."

Get ready #chicago Save and share this image. It will be helpful when the #iceraids begin

Someone forcibly rearranged the display windows at the Rolex on Michigan Avenue. Clearly the work of pro thieves because when Rolex rented here after Brooks Brothers moved out, they replaced all the windows with “theft prevention” glass. If you’re looking for CPD right now, 20 cops standing around.

Wisdom this morning from Chris Kratzer on FaceBook.

If you hear about a Mexican Independence Day celebration in your area, go. There is strength in numbers and — especially if you’re white — you can protect your community just by being there and not flinching if ICE shows up. These goons are cowards. Don’t be one.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

I disdain religions that spread at the point of a sword.

Yes!

J.B. Pritzker got it exactly right, Donald Trump is sending the military to blue cities because he wants to undermine free and fair elections in 2026. Trump believes that military deployments in blue cities is his path to keeping power and Republican victory.

From time to time I come across a personal story about life in Trump’s America that’s so powerful that I want to share it with you. This is an op-ed titled "My Family Lives in the Shadow of the American Dream." I encourage you to read it. robertreich.substack.com/p/life-in-th...

Everyone who was wrong about Trump — please say so openly to those who trust you and follow you. You have influence and thus bear responsibility.

I’m still in disbelief that so many MAGAs are scared of everything and everybody. It’s sad how Trump too a whole group of people and made them afraid, all while convincing them it was actually “alpha”

That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

Double rainbow tonight in Chicago! Gives me hope on what has otherwise been a dark day.

Another Epstein survivor, Annie Farmer, interviewed by CNN confirms that in addition to being convicted of sex trafficking young girls and women for Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, also participated in the abuse of minors

Listen to the victims!

They’re not arresting criminals. They’re arresting resistance. And if that doesn’t shake you, read this twice.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
