CBP has been hitting Skokie, outside of Chicago, hard today. At 10:45 today, they jumped out of their vehicles and arrested a man on Lincoln Ave.

They counted on making Chicago mad and provoking violence but what they did instead was viscerally disgust any human with even the slightest sense of morality and it’s not gonna go the way they want

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

which is crazy when you consider 2 men from the same family ran this town for 45 of last 60 years (lol) and even crazier when you consider the machine that goes back farther than that

but to your point: it's been a mixed bag. Harold Washington the goat famously got stonewalled by the racism caucus and BJ has stumbled facing massive opposition but we (with our long history left/radical politics etc) are capable of tossing out the neolibs, all i'm sayin!

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."
