This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

"I cannot begin to tell you how difficult and unnerving it is to have been in Chicago these past few weeks; to exist indefinitely in the contradictory space between knowing and living."

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

Lol ok

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

so many of their cons and conspiracies is written in the key of "imagining how a world after they've let most of us die from climate change would work", so it's a sort of comfort to me that when that happens they're going to be crying at AI videos of nonexistent medbeds like "i have cancer, fix me"

Hearing 3-4 protesters remain in federal custody. It's unclear right now if they'll be out tonight or later.

In a not at all shocking move, most released appeared to be white cis men, some women and men of color reportedly still in custody.

We have to call it for now. Will provide update in AM

Hi, just a note—

The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!

Another reminder that these people are all venal cowards and can be forced into doing the right thing, which means we can take that lesson and *Apply It Elsewhere*
