Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

And the guy who sent these troopers to attack and arrest protestors trying to protect our neighbors? He too lacks integrity and credibility. Even as he appears every day on TV declaiming piously.

It's irrelevant and a stupid rhetorical question.

"dozens of residents had taken to the streets as federal immigration agents attempted to detain people in Albany Park, shouting “traitor” & “Nazi”'
Atty @samay-gheewala.bsky.social helped a man whose hands were bleeding but ICE stonewalled him.

@vimiller.bsky.social really great reporting, 👏

🔥 “We chased federal agents out of Albany Park today,” residents cheered.
Alerted by whistle, "Ald Rodriguez-Sanchez @ward33chicago.bsky.social led the crowd of rapid responders, some on bikes and others with dogs, as she sprinted toward each call with state Sen. Graciela Guzmán" - wow Albany Park 👊

Feds deploy tear gas in Albany Park as neighbors respond to them detaining people. One person was taken, though another was freed.

“I was afraid to go over there. I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back."

Feds deploy tear gas in another Chicago neighborhood: 'We chased federal agents out of Albany Park today'

A federal judge’s temporary restraining order requires federal agents to issue two warnings before using riot control weapons such as tear gas. Witnesses says they didn't get any warning.

In case you didn't read my post, the other option is to act like the mayor and do something. He's not even showing up in Evanston. No ICE free zone. I don't know, are you more worried about him than about our neighbors?

Dr Mir @shabana.bsky.social · 8h

This is your main concern right now?

Dr Mir @shabana.bsky.social · 8h

Can’t you do what Johnson did and declare an ICE free zone here. Are you waiting for more people to be kidnapped?

What powers do you have to protect our neighbors and why aren't you using them?? It's ridiculous that the mayor is basically doing as much as a liberal armchair voter.

Dr Mir @shabana.bsky.social · 13h

WHY IS ICE OPERATING IN EVANSTON? You're busy trying to get higher office and they are free to abduct our neighbors?? Act like the mayor or resign!

Daniel Biss @danielbiss.bsky.social · 2d

Donald Trump is after absolute control. The President of our nation is deploying troops against his own residents. That isn’t leadership or democracy. It’s authoritarianism, plain and simple.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

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!!!
