More Bovino-led horror in Little Village today. Matt is a reliable leader in the community. www.linkedin.com/posts/matt-d...

One of the chants yesterday directed at DHS and the ISP was “save your soul and quit your job”.

Apparently for the NYTimes, there are limits to the maxim that “we all have to live together” but they are about women’s equality, not the rise of fascist ideology.

What people outside Chicago may not understand is that ICE isn’t just targeting the city. They’re pummeling the surrounding suburbs, sometimes even harder than the city itself (graphic below is from today). This isn’t Trump v. Chicago as a political unit. It’s a broad campaign of ethnic cleansing.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Tyler and I are out here at the rally where the crowd has about doubled since this first post. Easily 400+ people. Group is chanting “no hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here.”

In Chicago this morning (2550 W. Addison) ICE chased an infant teacher into a daycare and physically dragged her out. wgntv.com/news/chicago...

The Cuomintang is regrouping off the mainland

Oh — the situation has escalated. Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in. "Jesus says very clearly … we're going to be asked, how did you receive the foreigner?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=taCi...

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

why would he come for online trads like this

Love the mocking tone

What people outside of the Chicago area may not realize is that schools are having to use their lockdown procedures, or cancel outdoor recess because of ICE’s presence in the area.

My column on the front page of the Chicago Sun-Times today. www.everygoddamnday.com/2025/10/the-...

I butted heads with the university during my time there on the issue of socially responsible investing, so this is extremely entertaining to watch unfold.

Popped the drone over Promontory Point got some really lovely fall color this afternoon.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities? TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

NEW: The Trump admin just ended the practice of automatically extending work permits when people file to renew them — meaning that if USCIS takes too long to process a renewal the applicant loses their authorization to work legally. The interim final rule applies to renewals filed after tomorrow.

For as much as courts (especially SCOTUS) are damaging the rule of law, attorney disciplinary bodies have generally been rising to the moment to defend the profession.

Bovino says he can get that to the court by Friday. Reports about future uses of force and body-worn camera footage must be submitted to the court within 24 hours. Ellis orders Bovino to report to her in person *EVERY DAY* at 4:30 p.m. to recap the events of the day. Laughter erupts.

What a sick world.

When there’s immigration reform it must include expedited citizenship for the people caught up in these raids.

Pope today: “With the abuse of vulnerable migrants, we are witnessing not the legitimate exercise of national sovereignty but grave crimes committed and tolerated by the state. Ever more inhuman measures are being adopted, even celebrated politically, that treat these 'undesirables' like garbage.”

“Don’t protest”

Video from witness here from the moment CBP gassed neighbors who had gathered outside after the kidnapping. Agent rolls a canister at the crowd out of the window of their car as they reverse away from people with whistles and bikes.

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Despite the Trump administration’s threats, it’s not easy to strip naturalized Americans of their citizenship. Here’s why: bit.ly/4oV8eIP

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

I’ve been thinking of Trump’s government as the Regime of Type One Error. In statistics, Type 1 error is when you get a false positive, or claim to have found a relationship that isn’t really real. It’s like convicting someone who is actually innocent, for example.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

attorneys at @loevy.com, who represent protesters, clergy, and press (including me), accused border patrol commander greg bovino in a new court filing of personally violating a federal judge’s orders by throwing tear gas at a crowd of residents. www.loevy.com/wp-content/u...

Tear-gassed high schoolers thrown in a van, driven off, released hours later. High school kid? US citizen. Kavanaugh High. Like DeGrassi, but with chemical munitions thrown by an unhinged CBP commander. (Nbhd president said Bovino, w a smirk, threw the first tear gas canister.)

I’ve been tracking the social and legal hierarchy of Trump’s vision for citizenship for some time. This captures it perfectly. Non-citizens are at the bottom, with no rights whatsoever and subject to summary execution. Trump alone as supreme, able to commit murder without any criminal liability.

I would read the sociology dissertation based on these kinds of work environments.

New wellness grift just dropped

CPS confirms a landscaper detained this week was on district property. It appears to be the first time a CPS vendor or employee was picked up during the federal immigration enforcement campaign. trib.al/ABbnxUX

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

I really think people are underestimating the degree to which 21st century politics are going to be apocalyptically bad; we are collectively sliding towards mass ethnic cleansing being the norm in the Western World, out of no reason but pure fucking spite and empty nostalgia.

Sua sponte call for en banc less than two hours after the 9th Cir decision to let loose the National Guard into Portland

This is like that time Michael Scott stepped out of his office and yelled “I declare bankruptcy!”

Yet another 30-something in the professional political class who is a Nazi sympathizer. OSC is responsible for protecting federal workers from many kinds of unlawful discrimination. An open bigot by definition can’t fulfill the duties of the job. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

old bay sweater 🦀🦐🍗 thank you very much 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

This is essentially a murder confession.

I always thought the clownish nature of his corruption would guarantee he’d get a pardon. Trump’s goal is to demonstrate the law is an instrumentality of his person. It also reinforces Trump’s hierarchical model of citizenship where his close allies have a special legal status.

Police just detained two protesters. One dressed as the Statue of the Liberty.

Employers: "Law schools are not doing enough to make students practice-ready! We need more more more of everything in law school! You are not training lawyers for the real world!" Also employers: "We would like to hire students based on 5 weeks of 1L work."

After the homeschooling ads, things quickly spiraled out of the education space, pushing broader distrust of institutions. Like, this reel from a homesteading mom, explaining why she will never get a mammogram (based on misinformation about mammograms causing breast cancer). 4/
