I hope people start carrying broken spark plugs. It can shatter car windows when thrown.
Thank you to all the people who stand up to iceholes. Even though they got one person, note how quickly they were trying to leave as more people approach.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

United, we out number their leaders about 340,000,000 to 1,000.

Scattered and disorganized, they will pick us off one by one.

History proves that whatever promises they made to their followers will be broken as soon as their turn comes.

Even if you aid them now, they will turn on you later.

"An initial delay... stemmed from federal agents’ desire to ride in the ambulance.
The driver recalls responding that, in the absence of arrest paperwork, officers could not ride in the ambulance... An agent responded... that agents would follow the ambulance to the hospital instead."

Fed agents stood in front of the vehicle, blocking departure. Ambulance Operator placed it in park “causing it to lurch slightly forward.” Instantly surrounded, an agent threatened to shoot & arrest him. Asked “Why?” the agent responded “the driver had attempted to hit him w/the ambulance.”

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor.

“He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said.

Please prepare your rapid response networks. Print a metric asston of whistles and "How to Report ICE" zines. Build community with day laborers at Home Depots, car washes, street vendors. Create walking buses for schools. Set up databases for tracking abductions and license plates. Get lawyers ready

Bom Tellino @bomtellino.bsky.social · 1d

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

Yeah, her book is supports a two-state solution. 47 is the one who literally wants to build a resort on top of the bodies of the Palestinian people.
People are dying- do not wait for a book tour to protest- there's a lot of people in our government still shaking hands with netanyahu.

ICE killed their father. Now they’re in foster care.

Silverio Villegas, a single father, was fatally shot by fed agents after he allegedly tried to flee a traffic stop in Franklin Park.

His family spoke to the Tribune of their grieve and their fight.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
