Donald Trump is not concerned about safety — only about inciting fear and creating chaos. Federal officers must follow the law in Illinois and respect constitutional rights to peaceful assembly without the fear of intimidation and physical harm.

What the fuck. Somebody in a truck, which people on scene think they recognize as an ICE vehicle, DROVE UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK TO RAM PEOPLE, and then ICE AGENTS LAID DOWN SUPPRESSING FIRE WITH PEPPERBALLS SO POLICE COULDN'T INVESTIGATE. What the fuck.

Broadview Fire Department said the village was reaching out to the DHS “to demand the fence be removed immediately” because it was installed “illegally” without a permit. “In case of fire or other emergencies… Broadview fire apparatus would be unable to use the road to accesss these businesses.”

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

I know this is a radical position that will probably enrage people But hear me out: What if this thing we call autism is just the way some peoples’ brains work Not an illness. Not a brain injury. Not a defect. Some. Peoples’. Brains. Are. Different. And they don’t need to be fixed

The pundit class's notion of "free speech" is predicated on a division of humanity into those who *participate* in debates and those who are the *topic* of debate, where treating one of the former as if they were one of the latter is seen as the direst of all threats to "free speech".

This is important because it's further evidence for the theory that "this regime does not have the numbers or the power to really exert the iron grip of authoritarianism in the way they would like." And the theory that they can be made to blink via open confrontation.

Protesters yell at one agent with an American flag mask and sleeves “Nazi” as they push demonstrators off the sidewalk in front of the driveway. “Proud of it,” the agent replied.

I want to go to the Broadview protests but I need to have a plan to deal with the teargas. I can't just show up there with some signs like a typical protest.

2025.09.19 (Chicago, Illinois) Uniformed agents drop a canister of tear gas into a crowd of protesters. But, a protester dressed as Captain America picks up the canister and throws it back, prompting agents to tackle him.

I think two things can be true at once: 1) the Trump/Miller plan of a splashy military invasion was foiled, expertly 2) they are using their ICE Gestapo to extract terroristic revenge

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.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
