Telling the federal court that IL police can handle Broadview was part of the state's legal strategy against national guard being deployed here.

But it's hard to square that as for the good of protestors or Illinoisans as a whole, when IL police are perfectly willing to drag and beat them anyway.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

"For some, the Trump administration's Chicago assault was a shock."

"But for Black Americans, none of it felt extraordinary. It felt remembered."

"We know 'them' becomes 'you' sooner than you think."

Black People Knew This Would Happen

Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us.

U.S. companies shed 32,000 jobs in September in latest sign of labor market weakness

ADP's figures may be the only jobs data reported this week. The government shutdown means the Bureau of Labor Statistics is closed and unable to publish the official government report.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals PARTIALLY grants the stay sought by the Trump Administration.

The stay is GRANTED as to federalization of the National Guard.

But it is DENIED as to deployment.

So deployment still BLOCKED, but troops "do not need to return to their home states."

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

This is one program Trump thinks is a "Democrat" program because it demonstrates care for others.

But the benefits cross-cut partisan lines.

Just saw a motorcade (?) of six vehicles not marked in any way other than sirens and lights blaring speeding down Western Avenue at the edge of Logan/Bucktown heading South and we’re just at the phase where as a pedestrian you have to stop to see if you can see anyone in the cars and say “da fuck”

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.
