👀 Hey — look at this. Then help someone else look too. This movement only grows when people help other people SEE IT. So watch the video. Share it. Start conversations. Bring a friend next time. Democracy survives when ordinary people refuse to look away.

South Elgin showed up in the best way yesterday. 💙 While a food drive was happening on the ground — supporting families hit hardest by Trump’s cruel policies — we were up on the bridge fighting for democracy. That’s who we are. We welcome the stranger. We feed the hungry. We defend freedom.

They tried to shut us down on the Route 31 / 88 overpass. We stood up for our First Amendment rights — and we won. ICE CAMPS KILL. Visibility is how we fight. ✊

They tried to freeze us out. We showed up anyway. Honks, signs, solidarity — Silver Glen Bridge understood the assignment. When votes are threatened, Illinoisans don’t stay home.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

In 2012, Obama deported about same # of people Trump did in 2025. But in 2012 we didn't see ICE terrorizing communities across country, assaulting peaceful protesters and committing murder. Reason is Trump intentionally wants ICE to be his Gestapo. This is NOT about immigration, it's about FASCISM!

Tonight we brought Carols for Justice to the Home Depot in Elgin — lifting our voices for our immigrant neighbors with parody carols to Feliz Navidad, Hark! Hear the Bells, and Jingle Bells. Because solidarity is a song — and we refuse to be silent.

Hate can’t compete with joy, truth, or community and it sure as hell can't dent democracy - because we won't let it. The Visibility Brigade will be out again next week — and we’ll clean the bridge for free. 💪

ICE agents were caught on camera unlawfully trespassing and urinating on the grounds of an LA public school, risking exposure to minors. They’re not only terrorizing our communities—illegally kidnapping people—but also urinating on playgrounds. ICE is a morally bankrupt, state terror organization.
