CHICAGO: REBUILD is providing therapy to folks detained by ICE. Please feel free to let people know.

This is said in the sarcastic "Thanks Obama" voice.

Obviously

Thanks @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Based on all the social media reports, today may have been the busiest Friday for ICE activity that we’ve seen since this surge started.

With hundreds of police now protecting ICE’s facility for them, presumably ICE is able to deploy more agents to snatch people.

The person who punched Richard Spencer and instantly made him a meme never got caught. Just threw one punch and skipped off into immortality. I think about that a lot.

<gasp>

In Broadview this morning, just outside of Chicago, where you can get a police surveillance pod, a drone, and a helicopter in a single shot.

If the city and state are so against this federal incursion- why are the cops so eagerly supporting them?

An amazing amount of understatement by Judge Perry.

Perry: Four (4) federal judges have issued rulings in the past two (2) days in separate cases that cast significant doubt on federal officials' "credibility and assessment of what is happening on the streets of Chicago."

But radcial change is useless if doesn't come with the infrastructure to maintain it.

And building that infrastructure is fucking tedious & boring & infinitely less fun than the action packed front lines punch nazis part. But it is just as vital.

Punching nazis is great. But victory requires more

My spicy take for this moment-

Too many of you do not understand the concept of infrastructure. How systems are built, how systems are maintained.

You want big bold action but haven't committed to the planning and the boring mundane tasks needed to make said action possible.

Did you also go to a Lutheran camp in Wisconsin? because I definitely remember that game.

don't hold back now, David, tell us how you really feel

Please note: as of 11:30AM today, agents have restrictions on chemical weapons / "less lethal" munitions they are *supposed* to follow (🫠). This isn't limited to preplanned protests, it also applies to neighbors and rapid responders. If you see pepper balls fired...note it

"You must defer to the president" is the DOJ's primary argument.
Sorry bro, no we don't.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that folks are learning that Chicago is an occupied city, but I need people to understand we've been living this for a month, and that police and the governor have had their chance to save us, and didn't.

We are saving ourselves.

Protests at Broadview have finally broken containment and hit the rest of the nation.
Now we have even more armchair quarterbacks to tell us that the cops should be stopping this, or that we're doing it wrong, or (my favorite) "that's ILLEGAL" (laws are fake and aren't designed to protect us)

ACA open enrollment starts Nov. 1. Rates should have been published in August. Mike Johnson hopes you don’t know that. But my mom is an independent insurance agent. Has been for 20+ years. So she does know that.

I would go further and say that everyone deserves basic necessities to live whether they have a job or not.

I hope I don't see ANY of my Chicago friends going to the HP experience. I know it was a critical part of your childhood, but you CANNOT give that woman your money. She will only spend it on hate.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
