Big delivery week!

Got out 6 tents & 6 carts as well as two big boxes of bread to our friends at @ftpmutualaid.bsky.social!

Shoutout to Mala, our most important team member, for her hard work.

The trunk of an suv with two large cardboard boxes side by side filled with loaves of bread, with two folded up black carts behind them. Peaking over the back seat is a black and white dog.

The same trunk with three blue tents tucked in around a pile of folded black carts, with three bright orange tents on top of the pile.

Yet again reminding everyone that the feds did not “back off” of Chicago

customs and border patrol looks to be gearing up for an active day in elgin—with armored trucks, pickups, suvs, and a helicopter flying overhead.

before dawn, agents reportedly raided a house on a residential street near elgin fresh market.

This is horrifying & devastating.

Every single person that has said unhoused people are dangerous, that they are undeserving of support, that they need to just be cleared out & warehoused for forced treatment, contributed to this happening.

Hating homeless people is a bipartisan policy position.

ashley scarebanks 💀🕯️ @ziibiing.com · 28d

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting.

13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

'We're shutting this thing down': 8 shot at Minneapolis homeless encampment hosted by landlord, Frey pledges action

That shooting came less than 12 hours after another shooting just two miles away that left five others injured.

To Chicago comrades & anyone else facing possible federal occupation:

The National Guard is standing around for photo ops.

DHS, ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, are working with local police to terrorize & kidnap our neighbors.

Organize accordingly.

Full compliance with her reactionary contemporaries. Full collusion in the fascist invasion of DC and the mass disappearances of unhoused and migrant residents of the city. Muriel's magnum opus of shit. Shame on you, @mayorbowser.bsky.social, your legacy is one of unfettered evil

Getting supplies to friends and 200 more “How to Report Ice” zines (link to print your own in linktree and comment below) to as many little free libraries as we can find!

A picture of bags of supplies in the back of a car. There is also 2 small boxes full of the zines. In the background there is a tote that says all anarchists care about books.

Esta mañana (1/9) a las 8am federales detuvieron a una pareja en la 18 con Park NW. Rompieron la ventana, arrastraron al esposo y los arrestaron. Cuando un miembro de la comunidad paró para grabar, fue agarrado y amenazado con spray de pimienta por este pedazo de mierda.

@mayorbowser.bsky.social You are aiding and abetting this every single day. We can't even record these atrocities without being threatened? Call your dogs back and stop hurting our people!

This morning (9/1) at 8 AM feds pulled over a couple at 18th & Park NW. They smashed the window, dragged the husband out & arrested him. When a community member stopped to record they were grabbed & threatened w/ pepper spray by this piece of shit. @mayorbowser.bsky.social do you welcome this too?

Today’s side quest: sticking a whole bunch of these “How to Report ICE: DC Edition” zines in little free libraries around town.

Has DC specific info & the @dcmigrantmutualaid.org hotline & guidance.

Zines courtesy of @meganpiont.bsky.social, who has made a lotta these for a lotta states.

A pile of 50 small zines titled “how to report ICE and help keep our neighbors safe” “DMV: DC Metro Area Edition”

A red, yellow, and blue little free library with the door open, books leaning against each on the top and bottom shelf. On the bottom shelf in an empty space are a stack of the how to report ice zines facing forward.

A light blue little free library with the door open, some books stacked on the top and bottom shelves. On the top shelf four of the how to report ice sizes rest against the pile of books facing forward in a row, with one more on the bottom shelf also leaning against a stack of books and facing forward.

A large white little free library with the door open, books lean against each other on both the top and bottom shelves. On the bottom shelf in a small open space between the books is a spread out pile of the how to report ice zines facing forward

MPD is having a fucking field day right now. They’re establishing the checkpoints we’re seeing. They’re rolling up at schools. The city’s encampment eviction team is bypassing local protocol & clearing camps with no notice.

The Feds opened the door & the city is happily joining in.

Erin Palmer @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social · Aug 30

Mayor Muriel Bowser has praised the surge and reserved her criticisms for ICE wearing masks. But tonight at a local school it was MPD who pulled up their gaiter, put on gloves, and approached me masked.
