Not "protest." Warning to the vulnerable an call to action for people in the area to document and, with luck, to drive ICE out of the area before they can grab anyone.
Albany Park did get drenched in teargas last Sunday after ICE took someone and the neighbors spilled out onto the street at the whistles. A lot were already out, keeping an eye out to provide safe passage so people could go to church.
Stevenson was recruited in MI in '24 to run in the House against former synagogue president and scion of a legendary progressive family, whose father held the seat for decades when Gillibrand 1st recruited her. AIPAC dumped $9 million into that race. Now, she's running for Senate with DNCC support.
The problem is most people are not aware of AIPAC. Party leadership is, and that's why Jeffries, Schumer, Gillibrand have been sandbagging Zoran, why they BEGGED Gov Mills to run against Platner, why they are backing Haley Stevenson in MI when there are 2 better candidates there. 1/2
Badge of Honor. They, the Israeli govt, the Ellisons, Andrew Cuomo, and Bari Weiss clearly do not know what time it is. When the true numbers of Gaza's dead are counted, Israel's fate as a pariah state will be sealed. Their plan? Ramp up the Islamophobia.

Badge of Honor. They weren't crazy about Jan, either. She took J-Street $, not AIPAC $ and is well known to the Jewish community. I'm on a mission to do what I can to make AIPAC $$ the kiss of death for Dems. They REALLY don't know what time it is, do they? Or the nature of this district.
Yes! We CHERISH our tamale, taco, elotes, fruit, and paletas vendors.
This was definitely NOT a part of any of the NUMEROUS rallies held in Chicago and the suburbs on Saturday.
Well, this is a bullshit propaganda post. Where is this supposed to be? And who is this supposed to be? I see your ICE arrest porn video--from the raid a landlord arranged to clear out a building up for sale, where 37 detentions led to the arrest of ONE person who MAY have a gang connection.
I can cosign that. If you are in majority white areas, it is possible to be completely unaware of what is happening in the majority Latino neighborhoods and suburbs.
I have the sense that they are fucking with the judge here. parsing the meaning of the words in her order. CBP and ICE are two different agencies. CBP may very well have body cams, but I'm guessing ICE does not. And, a LOT of these cowboys have been drafted into service from other Fed agencies.
You are ignoring the fact that the vast majority of Israelis only opposed the war because they wanted the hostages back. They are fine with the de facto annexation of the West Bank, territorial expansion into Lebanon & Syria, and ethnically cleansing Gaza. www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/...

Netanyahu is not the problem. 80% of Israelis would be fine with continuing the genocide now that the hostages are freed. Likud and the further right parties have made dispossession, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide acceptable to the populace for 30 years. Trump is now trying that playbook.
Not about "Dems supporting AIPAC." It's about Dems who take AIPAC $$ being so beholden to them that they have made us all complicit in apatheid and genocide. AIPAC $$ should be toxic. NYC's AIPAC Dems, for instance, are actively undermining the Dem NYC Mayoral candidate bec of AIPAC and ADL.
I take full advantage of my "white with white hair" privilege with police and assholes whenever I can.

Chicago Cyclists Are Buying Out Tamale Carts To Keep Vendors Home And Safe From ICE
Cycling x Solidarity's latest mutual aid effort takes cyclists on group rides through Pilsen and other neighborhoods to buy out tamale vendors so they can stay home as ICE agents swarm the city. They pass out the food to people in need.

An immigration attorney’s recent experience at a Chicago detention center reveals an alarming trend: ICE is transferring people between detention facilities without warning, making it impossible for them to reach loved ones and lawyers and further depriving them of due process.
How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers
‘It seems like cruelty is the point,’ one attorney said.

Delusional. The few wards that vote Republican in the city are the majority white "cop" wards on the fringes of the city, where white officers--not a few of whom belong to white supremacist groups-- and the Trumpy FOP pres live. This city pays out millions of $$ in misconduct settlements yearly.

I think these are terrible ideas.
Many neighborhoods have their own "rapid response teams" of residents who use whistles, car horns, and a coordinated text-based app that alerts teams when ICE is in the vicinity. There are 1000s of neighbors keeping watch/filming--and ICE STILL snatches people. ICE is violent toward watchers, too.
Approx 12,000 now and they are NOT able to be everywhere. Not sure how many are patrol officers. About 100 ICE agents showed up to terrorize a single block yesterday. There are 100s more, from many fed agencies, spread out over the 10,300 Sq Miles of the Chicago Region. The city itself is 234 sm.
Do you have any concept of how big Chicago is or how many ICE agents are deployed here? Plus the 'burbs? Residents have flooded the streets because law enforcement can't possibly be present for all of this. We are already under occupation. Video you see is from security and phone cameras, not press.
Last update on this was that exactly ONE of the people arrested in South Shore is suspected of being Tren de Aragua. What people do not understand is that the Venezuelans are DOCUMENTED. They were vetted at the border for "credible fear" and given court dates. They also had TPS status--also vetted.
