Federal immigration agents have deployed gas in Little Village, on 26th between Komensky and Pulaski, per videos shared online after 11 am this morning.

Caravan of federal agents spotted around 26th and Kedzie in Little Village. This has attracted crowd of residents yelling at them to leave. A community meeting nearby was cancelled. CPD is keeping crowds of residents back. Another disruptive day for something that’s become common in Little Village.

You know that shipment of 20,000 whistles I got Wednesday? We’re down to about 7,000

One of my friends who is visiting lives in Albany Park in Chicago and listening to her talk about what’s been going on and watching her cry and feel helpless… She was a union organizer. She’s used to organizing in less than ideal conditions. She’s not brand new. She’s horrified and traumatized.

Chicago residents & alderman falsely arrested & home invaded by ICE can now sue in federal court. Make these criminals answer in court for their crimes! Before Atlanta GA resident Trina Martin's June 2025 Supreme Court case, lawsuits against federal agents were automatically thrown out of court 1/2

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

In the last 48hrs CBP/ICE across Chicagoland has: fired pepper balls at people on multiple occasions, tackled + arrested a nonverbal and visibly disabled man, kidnapped landscaping workers off lawns in the north shore suburbs, and pointed their firearms down a busy street for a DHS photo op

lmao.

What a queen

here’s a non-substack explanation bsky.app/profile/mike...

I have a hard and fast rule about not sharing substack links, but if you want to understand the strategy behind what Justice Jackson did in issuing a administrative stay with a 48 hour deadline re SNAP, do a little searching. Don’t just be like “I can’t believe she did that.” She had a reason.

Not that I was ever going back but this is a sure fire way to keep me away from most places. Yikes on bikes.

God, a thousand times this. That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis. I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

It's a gorgeous day in Chicago.

What fresh hell is this nonsense.

Again, the Broadview ICE facility is in, wait for it, Broadview, Illinois Not Chicago

federal agents are back in the skokie/evanston area this morning. this video, posted to facebook about 10 minutes ago, shows federal agents driving through the williamsburg village subdivision amid construction vehicles parked along the road. lots of residents out with whistles.

A woman ruined my workplace By Caravaggio (c. 1602)

Broadview ICE this morning. A circle of women went into the middle of the street to exercise their free speech rights and were all arrested & zip tied by cops. @resist_and_repeat on instagram many folks here today.

BROADVIEW - state and local authorities just arrested about 20 women who hopped the concrete barricades outside the processing center, sat down in the middle of the street and joined hands. Took maybe five minutes all told.

Wait...is Cleveland cool?

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Some people might think that the 13 Democrats who flipped seats in the Virginia House of Delegates Red to Blue might not have staying power and will just be washed out when the pendulum swings back. Let’s look at the Class of ’17, when we flipped 15 seats Red to Blue + held an open Democratic seat.🧵

Braver than all the troops in this world

A bit more accurate.

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

No wonder I'm exhausted.

Chicago, please stop while you're ahead. My goodness.

these judges (the Chicago one as well, for instance) are really going to have to think through what to do when their orders are again ignored, because unless it involves tossing many Trump admin officials into jail, it's not going to move the needle

Role this with Veep end credits and music.

I just spent an hour chasing these ICE jagoffs through Bridgeport. They detained and questioned two old Chinese ladies (clearly dangerous criminals) then let them go. They are terrorizing the entire neighborhood. There have been people abducted this morning. I'm beyond enraged.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis has just taken the bench to rule on federal agents actions' during a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and the suburbs. Background, for @wttw.bsky.social from @bymattmasterson.bsky.social

Ald Byron Sigcho-Lopez is currently livestreaming himself and others following the CBP caravan and honking to alert people: instagram.com/sigchofor25/live/18083859809067765

Ellis: [Bovino] admitted that he lied about whether a rock hit him before he deployed tear gas in Little Village."

Every neighborhood in Chicago needs a town square like this for hanging out, and for anti-fascist protests It used to be a road

the latest in the social media postings of Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas:

As seen on my run today. Chicago always showing off.

Fire your Editorial Board.

THIS is y'all MAYOR?????????????

And they won't even protect citizens. I'm no budgetary genius but defund the police.

I'm trying to reserve my anger for truly important things but this gets my goat every time. It takes seconds to find out where Broadview is.

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too. This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.

Friendly reminder the cops aren't here to protect its citizens.
