In Chicago, ICE tried to seize a Latino man—but his Black neighbors refused to let it happen. They stepped in, stood tall, and claimed him as their own.

That’s what solidarity looks like: when the people say no, the raid ends there.
This is how we win: together.🔥

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Per @chicagotribune.com, the pajama-pants-guy is a former county prosecutor.

And he had some things to say. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

A different video captured after agents unleashed tear gas showed plumes of smoke billowing down the street as the crowd's piercing shouts and whistles reached a fever pitch.
Onlookers scurried to the sidewalk to get away from the chemicals, with one neighbor, Brian Kolp, seen walking away barefoot and in Chicago Blackhawks pajamas.
Kolp, 41, said he was drinking coffee on his couch and watching the news as he always does on Saturday morning when he saw what's become an all-too-familiar scene unfold outside
his window.
Two U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents were tackling a man to the ground on his front yard.
Meanwhile, Kolp's TV continued to blare a news segment discussing the ongoing temporary restraining order restricting federal immigration agents' use of tear gas.

Kolp, a former prosecutor with the Cook County State's Attorney's office, sprang into action as he sometimes wondered he would have to do
throughout the Trump administration's
"Operation Midway Blitz" these last two months.
He didn't even have time to put on his shoes or change out of his pajamas, he said, drawing jeers from one of the agents as he screamed
"Nazis!" and "Gestapo!" at the agents.
"Quite honestly, when all this started happening, I thought to myself that if the opportunity ever came my way to have to get involved in one of these situations, I was certainly going to do what I could to make sure that they weren't openly and flagrantly violating the law or the Constitution," Kolp said. "And yet, they just went ahead and did it anyway."

People all over the country need to understand that federal agents are not in Chicago to prevent violence – they're in Chicago to cause violence.

(from the inbox) Less than an hour later this morning, just before 10:30 at Roscoe and Harding, feds again released gas as they were driving away, unobstructed, from a relatively small number of neighbors.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

You know what’s wrong. We all do. I’m left wondering why a liberal with money can’t buy another outlet. Liberal billionaires do exist.

Residents of Lakeview, Chicago drove ICE out—literally. When agents tear-gassed a lunch-hour worksite near Wrigley Field, neighbors poured into the street, filming, blowing whistles, and shouting them off the block.

Community > cruelty.💪

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.

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct

gonna keep banging this drum: Chicago area folks, if you sign up for Know Your Rights training with @icirr.bsky.social
it’s only 90 minutes & through the org, you can be connected with people who are trying to protect our communities. Other ideas: find local food pantries or Mutual Aid groups 💚

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

In the wake of a homeschooled Gloucester County teenager being locked in a dog cage & sexually abused by her parents for 7 years, State Sen. Burzichelli introduced legislation to require wellness checks & increase oversight over home-schooling.

Jack Ciattarelli would veto it.
