“I want to be absolutely clear, the only people at risk in this moment are the residents of the city of Chicago. The only people walking around with military weapons, tear gas, rubber bullets are ICE agents.” | blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/15/a... via @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Ald. Jessie Fuentes Gears Up To Sue After Being Handcuffed By ICE Agent

The Humboldt Park alderperson was handcuffed and threatened with arrest by federal agents this month while asking agents if they had a warrant for a man they detained in her neighborhood.

Federal agents chased and arrested people on the Southeast Side in at least four separate incidents. One chaotic scene resulted in a car crash and protesters were also tear gassed. blockclubchi.co/4nO2Jex

Hey not from Chicago friends, things are really, really bad here with ICE terrorizing neighborhoods and detaining people regardless of if they're citizens or not. But we're fighting back, and it's working. We are the blueprint for resistance with rapid response networks. Pay attention to us

How do you cope with feeling that no matter what you do, it's never enough?

If this supposed rapture is real and takes away all of the Christian extremists, it would solve at least 1/3 of my problems.

Had to sit through a presentation at work today about how to use AI for my job. Meanwhile everyone's electric bills in the Chicago area are skyrocketing bc of AI data center electric demand, and those same data centers are also draining water out of the Great Lakes. It's fine. This is fine.

Integrity. Courage. Endurance.

They killed a single father on Friday, then lied about what happened.

Lately I've been feeling like I'm not butch enough. It's hard for me to look as masc as I'd like to. It's hard for me to hide my curves. It's hard knowing that masc isn't a word people would initially use for me at a glance.

In the meantime, investigators into the school shooting in Evergreen, Colorado have already said that there’s some evidence that he was radicalized by extremist networks.

Don't let Charlie Kirk's death distract you from the school shooting in Colorado, the ongoing genocide, increased ICE activity, the stripping away of LGBT rights, and the Epstein files. His death is insignificant in comparison.

We are expected at all times to accept hatred and to be thankful that it was not violent, if it is violent we are expected to be grateful that it was not fatal and if it is fatal our families are expected to be grateful that we are in heaven or at peace.

Never them, always us.

Daily bunny no.3067 plays a moonlight serenade

A bunny with a large accordion stands in a small yard on a summer night. They play a song for another bunny, who is standing atop a 2nd story balcony looking bemused.

So, this isn't about crime. It's about continuing the agenda of rounding up black and brown folks. I also theorize that the Trump administration wants violence from Chicago residents to use as an excuse to escalate their power grabbing tactics.

Chicago is used frequently in conservative talking points to claim that gun laws aren't effective. Not only that, Chicago is a sanctuary city and houses migrants that came here to claim asylum. I know many folks here who are DACA recipients and they're afraid of deportation.

This isn't about crime. There are many more cities with higher crime rates than Chicago. Note how many of these are in red states.

The Texas National Guard is preparing for deployment to Chicago. It's deeply concerning not only for me as a Chicago resident, but that troops from red states are being deployed to cities in blue states.

Texas National Guard preps for Chicago deployment as feds stage in north suburbs, Gov. Pritzker says

It's unclear exactly when the National Guard and more ICE agents will be deployed in Chicago but leaders are gearing up.

Whenever I hear someone call themselves a libertarian, I immediately assume they're just a conservative who wants weed to be legal. I'm right 90% of the time

#ButchViWeek Day 1: Fashion

Drawing of Vi from the Arcane series with her back to the viewer. She’s in a leather jacket with multiple patches on it. A butch lesbian flag on her sleeve, a “Caution I Bite” patch, a heart shaped patch that says “Femme Fucker”, a partially hidden “Service Dog Working Do Not Touch” patch, a lesbian axe circular patch, and a small trans flag underneath stitched into it. In the middle of all of these is the word BUTCH on the back of the jacket. Vi looks over her shoulder smugly at the viewer, she’s knows she’s butch and proud.
