This thread is about Evanston, but this has also been going on without reprieve in Elgin, Aurora, and other Chicago suburbs—a metro area of nearly 10 million people.
Some context to the viral videos:

Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units.

They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

I really can't emphasize enough that OpenAI is, as Dr. Gilliard has described in the past, a social arsonist enabling racism, and I urge colleagues in education using OpenAI's products - including ed-tech platforms that incorporate its products like Khanmigo and MagicSchool - to stop.
Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Folks looking for evidence of SNAP recipients as welfare queens have no shortage of AI generated schlock to use as justification.

Since this person screenshotted me and I can’t detach, I will point out that they are wrong. The market for fake imagery exists. People do not care if the image is accurate, only that it fits their racism.
two of the three examples are labeled, and this is what I see in the slop feeds too. Obviously there's no demand to see fake videos of black people trying to spend EBT, the algorithms promote these videos because of people who, at least for the first few seconds, think they're real

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

Well, when it rains, it pours. For whatever reason, LIKE-MINDED INDIVIDUALS was scrubbed from Goodreads, all reviews lost and unable to retrieve. If you have read LMI, would you mind adding your review back? Pain in the arse, I know. Christ it has been a year.
