I am also very disturbed by the guy brandishing his weapon to keep the folks filming away. They don’t have guns. What’s the point other than intimidation with impunity. I hope we get justice.

When they do something like this there's no way they can say they were following orders
These are toxic misogynist males there's no excuse for this
This is the reason he wants to place boots on the ground in most places he'll have an executive order as the insurrection act & we're all fucked

I actually cried when I saw this one. Up until this point, I watched and shook my head. But this one was ... a lot.

This is some WILD SHIT. You hit HER car, draw guns on HER, drag her out of her car and then arrest HER.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

I believe this was September but still achieves the same point. That pitiful man in the White House has been insulting Chicago for YEARS. Take your Tower and move on then. Anyway, enjoy some classical music. 🎶

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

You sound like you live in the suburbs but claim Chicago. This has been a common talking point, especially for snow removal contractors.

Even though you realized it was September 10, 2025, there are classical events nonstop in downtown Chicago, usually in theaters. But you say that as though Trump has not been calling our city a shithole and terrible for years...while having the Trump Tower here. You called BS on absolutely nothing.

Protests continued Friday night after a judge ordered a fence outside the Broadview ICE Processing Center to come down.
Meanwhile, Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth were turned away from trying to see inside of the facility.

Donald Trump ended the National Blue Ribbon Schools program this year.

But, I believe that educational excellence should be celebrated — and it's why we're picking up where they've dropped the ball.

I’m recognizing 28 schools in IL as the 2025 Governor’s Blue Ribbon Schools.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
