There’s a viral video reposted by a lot of news people nationally about an abduction at West Loop Elementary School, but there is no school with that name. The video seems to be of ICE detaining people near UIC yesterday. Details matter. We need to try to get them right before sharing.

Pastor David is one of the bravest and most thoughtful people I know. There’s just about nobody I’d rather have emerging as a symbol of the struggle against ICE.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Doctor talking to patient, who is sitting on the exam table wife-eyed. Caption:

Of course they were! You can just make up anyone you want as the head of your imaginary insurrectionist group!

I hear Santa Claus runs supply drops for them! And they get their money from Leprechauns, which is why they're in league with the LGBTQ and their rainbows!

Shot a priest in the head with a pepper ball, just for fun.
There was absolutely no threat here.

Enjoyed this piece on Pynchon by @devintoshea.bsky.social which phrases a point @mattseybold.bsky.social makes - “Print is a Rent Strike” - in another way

I've been thinking a lot about how, now, thanks to our phones and screens, every waking hour of the day is subject to capital extraction through data, which is collected and bundled, and sold without you or I even knowing we labored. Reading a physical book breaks from that, and I sometimes feel physical relief in my head when I detach from the monitor; putting eyes on text that doesn't move, read a line, close the book, take a breath, stare out into the sky, open the book back up, notice something, then notice something about the room I'm in, or the park bench. Sometimes the relief of this feels like someone cracked open my skull and poured cool water on the hot machine; other times I'm too scattered and frightened about the future to do anything but sit beside the book while I scroll.

There may or may not be push ups but the critical question is WILL THERE BE PUPPIES?!?

17) My general vibe is that TSA knows that it's all security theater, and no matter how much you hate the government, you can't hate it more than TSA agents do, on account of the government being the ones who've made them stand there and do security theater.

Right now they're not even paid for it.

This seems like a thread that @lifehouse.bsky.social would enjoy! The idea that kids see things up high more than adults do is mind blowing but totally true, I expect.

Once again, I can say “Fuck you, Mitch McConnell” for setting a president whereby Republicans just refuse to work

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.
