Folks, see the details local journalists post about breaking news events when verifiable info is limited. ⤵️

Name of agency. Location. Time. Source. Context about local area and confirmation by local Rapid Response group.

Stop sharing accounts that solely post "Holy Sh*t, ICE!" with dramatic video.

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

Extremely funny that people think this is now a Pritzker hate account when all we've been doing is documenting the same police violence we've been documenting well before this ICE surge

Sorry for disrupting your worldview. Welcome to what cops are!!!

one of the most important political litmus tests for growing up in the US is whether or not you’ve realized this is the source of everything you were taught about China

I love when someone cites a report of some org called like “World Humanity Freedom Foundation” in order to make a point about a country and you go to the Wikipedia for the org and it’s like founded by the US State Department and everyone on its board worked for BP or Raytheon

Can't confirm but very ICE-like behavior from a black Jeep Wagoneer in Edgewater, just saw turn north on Sheridan from Bryn Mawr.

They had pulled onto that part of Bryn Mawr the wrong way, stopped, and some suited up guys got out and like looked around and got back in

People think that furloughing/shortchanging police and military personnel makes them disloyal, but in reality it makes them demand bribes from civilians during spurious enforcement actions

Or anyone else can steal the idea. Go ahead. The basic thesis is something along the lines of "car-based society forces this weird, unnatural Deadly Seriousness on all of public space, and any deviation from that seriousness means we're allowed to kill you with a car or treat you like trash"

Any time families come to deliver meds to the detention center now, someone shoves a camera + mic in their face. A few days ago we watched reporters do this to someone while crying. People don't realize they don't have to consent to it, so they go along with it.

These journos are not seeing Heaven

Secret Third Thing @gochujung.bsky.social · 5h

Yesterday, Don Lemon interrupted patient care for a visibly sensitive situation by shoving a mic in a patient’s face then getting annoyed at me when I swatted it out of the way & told him it was inappropriate. Yes, protests should be documented but no, they are not “content” & there is a difference.
