Rooting for you from Chicago!

Everyone should go as Stephen miller for Halloween. It would be terrifying!

Screenshot of a text from my son’s school today. Chicago is not going to take this shit for much longer.

The man in the van is my friend’s neighbor - he was detained in the alley behind their homes this morning. Lots of schools in the area on soft lockdown throughout the school day, too. This is fucked up. #fuckice

It would be such a wonderful fuck you to this administration if their tactic to bring in the feds to provoke violence for their grand scheme of martial law actually backfired and helped to minimize crime in Chicago even further because all of us are banding together for a common cause. Chef’s kiss.

For the love of God this cannot continue - what is it going to take to end this madness?

Raise your hand if you’ve been slowly increasing your anxiety meds these past few months 🤚🏻

Erin Nitz @erinnitz.bsky.social · 4d

I really hope so. Will be interesting to see how the feds manipulate the guard for optics during the No Kings protest next weekend here.

Pretty sure antifa just means anyone against fascism. Do better PBS.

Chicagoan here - I agree with what you’re saying and pray that the guards people are as respectful to us as we are to them. However, more people in uniforms carrying weapons is terrifying all of us here. Especially our kids - all they see are people with guns walking our streets.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Incredible reporting with many more details about the South Shore raid. Please share. My heart breaks into a million pieces of our immigrant community.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race
