Latinos in Chicago are our neighbors. They make our community better. They're not a problem at all.
Texas National Guard troops are not our neighbors. They make our community worse. They're our main problem right now.

Waiter tonight asked me what it was like to live in "Chiraq". I hate Florida.

Every car that doesn't use a gear shift lever is a bad design.

It's been that kind of day, hasn't it, Kira?

This is a picture from the Chicago Sun-Times this afternoon. ICE shot another Chicagoan today. Trump is activating our state national guard against us. Living under military occupation is not fun.

It's time to rewatch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The story of a people who survive a brutal occupation strikes much closer to home now.

In the words of the best Captain, from the best Star Trek, "I am tired of being calm. Calm never got me a damn thing."

It would really be helpful for the MSM to get the hell out of the beltway and report on the military occupation of Chicago.

The ICE Gestapo has moved up to shooting us.

I don't believe a damned word that comes out of ICE's mouths about what actually happened.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump will send 300 members of the Illinois National Guard to Chicago, Gov. JB Pritzker said Saturday, adding that he refused an order from military officials to use his authority to deploy the guard. @wttw.bsky.social

Putting your child through college during the Trump regime sucks. Especially when your child is Hispanic.

I used to wonder who would be fascist collaborators, now I know the collaborators are the majority.

The Shadow Docket is a cornerstone of their fascist project, that is for damned sure.

One of the effects of the ICE occupation in Chicago. Parks in my neighborhood are practically empty on nice days. They used to be filled with soccer games, flag football games, and the paths were crowded with bikes, families with baby strollers, and those out for a walk. #Chicago #ICE

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes."

—Anne Frank

Masked federal agents engaging in casual, reckless violence against the community—tossing tear gas canisters outside of an elementary school because they were blocked in traffic.

Ald. Jessie Fuentes: “We have constitutional rights.”
Unidentified federal agent, whose badge is not visible: "No." @wttw.bsky.social

In a video taken by a witness and shared with the Sun-Times, cars could be seen blocking the white, unmarked SUV before a masked agent rolled down his window and dropped the canisters. Smoke spread around the vehicle and passersby began to scream.

Even the Gestapo didn't wear masks. Then again, they had the full force of a cruel government behind them. So I guess when ICE stops wearing masks — about the time they shift from immigrants to protesters to whomever Trump doesn't like today — is when we should be truly afraid. I'm there already.
