OK, y'all. We're back... Major thanks to @rude1.blacksky.team and the brilliant Blacksky platform he's built. We bypassed the "age assurance" hurdle by logging into Blacksky. Give Rudy all the things, y'all. All the things!

Will today be the day we get access back into @thetriibe.com? 🤞🏾

NEW — In a Facebook video, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss unpacks his confrontation with Border Patrol Cmdr Greg Bovino today in the Chicago suburb. Bovino, he said, “threatened us, said he’s going to continue the enforcement.” thetriibe.com/2025/12/evan...

NEW — This Friday, youth justice advocates will gather for a rally and noise demonstration outside of the Illinois Youth Center and the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center. Their goal is to shine a light on the harmful practices within the facilities. thetriibe.com/2025/12/chic...

Day 6 of not having access to our @thetriibe.com account 🙃 @support.bsky.team @esb.lol was able to help us log in, but we were stopped — again — in our tracks by the "age assurance" message. We assure you. We're all adults over here.

NEW — Multiple progressive alderpeople and Mayor Brandon Johnson allies raised red flags about the potential impact of the counter budget on vulnerable Chicago communities. The Chicago City Council’s Finance Committee voted 22-13 to advance it. thetriibe.com/2025/12/prog...

Hey, who knows how to fix this age verification issue? @thetriibe.com (Black-owned indy news in Chicago) are locked out of their account and need to publish this week's stories. @thetriibe.bsky.social They are verified by Bluesky and everything!

You’re obstructing a crucial resource at a terrible time, exactly when we need them most. @support.bsky.team

NEW — Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is back in Chicago today. Rapid response teams sounded the alarm on federal agent sightings and abductions on the Southeast Side and in the western suburbs. Gov. JB Pritzker: "We don’t know how long they’ll stay." thetriibe.com/2025/12/bord...

@support.bsky.team , what’s going on here?

OK, I know enough people in tech circles that SOMEBODY can go yell at @support.bsky.team directly or put us touch to get them back online right now. The @thetriibe.com is doing vital reporting on immigration AS WE SPEAK. Somebody give them some backup.

@support.bsky.team. Please help out @thetriibe.com

Seriously, @support.bsky.team, what’s going on here? The Triibe is an integral news source for Chicago - can you please address this?

Oh come on, @support.bsky.team

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team This is Chicago's only Black owned media outlet and a crucial part of ICE/CBP reporting during an actual emergency. Unacceptable/please free @thetriibe.com

So... @support.bsky.team still hasn't given any tangible help on how we can get access to our @thetriibe.com account again. It's going on a week now. Will be posting our stories from here in the meantime.
