Trying to do right in a screwed up world. I cover protests and things. Bit of a miscreant. In my defense, I was left unsupervised. (she/her/Antifa)

I remain interested in the dwindling National Guard presence here in DC, while well aware that ICE/feds are still terrorizing residents.

So far today, saw three NG on the platform at Gallery Place metro.

Did a thorough search of Union Station and only spotted one NG. I assume they have a partner.

A single, solitary National Guard talks to the driver of a white shuttle bus outside Union Station. It’s sunny and the blue sky is clear.

Sunlight filters in and illuminates the glorious arched ceiling at Union Station. Rows of octagons run along the arched ceiling, a gold circle in the center of each one. A row of stone statues, their backs turned to the camera, overlook the main concourse.

A couple of police (I think Amtrak police), standard for Union Station, and one police dog who looks to be an older lab mix. They’re still a good dog, despite working for the police.

The southwest corner of Union Station, where the escalators go down to the Metro. Lots of stone arches are visible, but not a single National Guard.

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

Heavy machinery in the driveway now doing something with the barricades, unsure what.

Quick update on what we just saw here—*before curfew*, ISP troopers, Broadview PD and CCSO deputies began menacing demonstrators outside the ICE facility. Several arrests.

Pepper ball guns at the ready, a bit of a standoff going with remaining protesters. All people are doing is playing music.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

Note: it's not even curfew yet.

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

A 15-year-old autistic, intellectually disabled, and often non-verbal boy in Houston has been held in ICE custody for the past week without his family knowing where he was.

I confirmed this video is real with local news reports:

LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @longtimehistory.bsky.social · 11h

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

While this is going on here, ICE has been spotted on foot + in vehicles across SW + NW sides of Chicago. Can't verify reports rn, but also presuming suburbs. Yesterday was brutal. It's not lost on us they have more agents free for weekend kidnappings now with their facility secured by state police.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Folks playing some thematic standoff music now.

Really just cannot express how non-threatening this small group of neighbors appears at the moment, and how absurd this massive police presence appears in comparison.

As you fight ICE in your neighborhoods, always look for potentially positive outcomes to counterbalance your anger and despair. For me this continues to be meeting more neighbors, talking to more neighbors, and finding that others close by have also been fighting in ways I was unaware of.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
