I’m super focused on Chicago but this absolute bullshit also happened today.

A juxtaposition: Gregory Bovino at a gas station, complaining that “Just to go use the bathroom and get something to eat” is a “safety concern.” Just after asking a dude buying a soda where he’s from. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/06/b...

Well. That injunction didn’t last long. Color me surprised.

I love that the ruling is “Chicago fucking rules, fuck the liars and the haters”

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

Every teacher in America knows what to do if an armed intruder enters their school. We literally train for that exact situation. The difference here is the intruder is our own government.

My north side neighbors showed up tonight at an emergency rally to keep ICE out of schools after a day care teacher was arrested inside her day care this morning with children inside. The rest of the country needs to pay attention! #chicago

There’s nothing that Chicagoans love more than outsiders coming here and claiming our city.

Jesus Christ.

This morning, #ICE abducted a preschool teacher without a warrant — in front of children. I’m hosting a press conference RIGHT NOW with @durbin.senate.gov and @ramirez.house.gov. Tune in here.

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

Crucial hearing over feds' use of force could reveal 'incredible' Bovino testimony Wednesday From @chicago.suntimes.com w/ Kade Heather: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Mamdani: So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.

Between Cheney and the election, there hasn’t been a day this fun on social media in a while! We needed this!

BREAKING: California voters have approved a new U.S. House map designed to boost Democrats in 2026, aiming to blunt GOP changes elsewhere. Follow AP for live updates.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency. They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

Does that feel like…hope? I don’t remember.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Are people outside Chicago paying attention to this??!?!

I mean…yeah. Good?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The Democratic governor dropped an F-bomb in his criticism of Trump administration education policies last month before Illinois’ largest teachers union. trib.al/eWCmq9m

Ongoing at Broadview today. This is quite the thread.

A partial list of what Bovino does not have to tell a federal judge happened today: *An agent pushed a City Council member in Albany Park *Agents deployed pepper spray in Albany Park & Evanston *Agents were involved in a car crash in Evanston *An agent pointed a gun at a woman in Evanston

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago: "He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

Chicago hates you, Kristi. Leave our kids alone.

Chicago hates you. What’s your barber’s name?

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I don’t need to see a salute to know Greg Bovino is a nazi.

I’ve been tracking this contract since 2023, and last week, Cook County quietly renewed it. As ICE raids continue across Chicago, the board approved another $1M deal with a data broker tied to ICE. My latest for @southsideweekly.bsky.social

Must read from today’s hearing. Bovino and DHS are blatantly lying and showing disdain for the judicial branch. He’s not going to stop.

Follow @jonseidel.bsky.social and I for updates today from the Dirksen Federal courthouse, where Border Patrol's Gregory Bovino is expected to appear. Here's a picture of protestors at the courthouse's entrance. It's unclear whether Bovino will go through this entrance.

Someone tell the Democratic Party that fascism is, in fact, a kitchen table issue

Its so hard to understand the scope and scale of the Federal attack on Chicago, led by ICE and CBP. I put this map and table together, highlighting the most significant incidents from 9/19-10/25. The area shown is roughly 30 by 35 miles with incidents in all corners.

In video provided exclusively to MSNBC's The Weekend: Primetime, immigration agents are seen attempting to pull a man out a window of a Chicago home. Agents also jumped a fence into the locked backyard and manhandled people doing work. Hear from the homeowner tonight on The Weekend: Primetime.

You KNOW Bovino is someone’s worst older brother. Don’t walk into his fist and you won’t get punched in the face.

Video from today's first gas attack. Saturday morning in Chicago.

People in one of the richest parts of Chicago’s North Side scream at federal agents who were detaining a Hispanic worker today - “Fuckin cowards! Fuckin Nazis!” - and chant at them to “LET HIM GO!”

If the stuff happening in Chicago were happening in New York City it would be on every television on earth right now

Ut oh, Gregory. Now you've gone and done it.

Y’all. It’s a grift. He’s never building that ballroom. And if he does he’s not paying the contractors. And I’m sure he doesn’t have to pay taxes (not that he would) on the people’s house.

Two Chicago Public Schools students were detained and allegedly assaulted by federal agents on their way to school Thursday morning.

The Chicago area companies making money directly off the federal immigration "blitz" in many city neighborhoods and suburbs blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/23/c...

Greg Bovino belongs in hell, but I’ll settle for jail. Who is protecting Chicagoans?

Fuck Greg Bovino. Fuck Stephen Miller. Fuck ICE.

Chicago’s Little Village this morning. I can’t begin to describe the devastation ICE is doing to our communities. Who did they arrest today? Among others, a high school junior, and a lady who sells eggs. They are attacking the very fabric that makes our families, and neighborhoods, strong.
