Not enough noise being made for how fierce Fantasy Banks has been tearing these weeks back to back! Like my bitch is on the sewing machines clocking in to her runways/challenge looks, and tearing the challenges down 🫶🏼🫶🏼

you guys gotta prepare yourselves for real on what you will do when an ICE raid happens in front of you. remember SALUTE when reporting. REPORT IMMEDIATELY! call the hotline BEFORE you post on social media, BEFORE you text your friends, BEFORE you engage with ANY state or federal officers.

Anyways, here’s information on how one government’s civil servants helped a racist, authoritarian leader deprive citizens of their rights, livelihoods and assets. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

It’s also an option for businesses generally considered public spaces to designate private “staff only” areas, such as back offices or kitchens, which means 🧊 would need a judicial warrant signed by a judge to get back there, which they are unlikely to have.

a club/bar is a public space, clearing ICE to enter.
HOWEVER: once a ticket, cover or wristband is required for entry, it deems the area PRIVATE, preventing ICE raids indoors. this information is directly from ICIRR. in order to get in to your PRIVATE party, they must have a warrant. ⬇️

Again, I ask, what are we going to do when ICE shows up. Sharing infographics (if even that) only does so much, because it’s not beyond me that most of the shows on the strip have almost all-white audiences, and I don’t trust white gays to do the right thing (clearly). So what are we doing?

Meanwhile, spaces like Fantasy are struggling to get people through the door because they are scared. Noche vaquera, one of the only explicitly Latino nights in boystown, looks entirely different than it did even a month ago. Chicago’s segregation is disgusting and Boystown is not free of it.

NEW — Today, Illinois and Chicago jointly filed a federal lawsuit, asking a judge to block Trump’s efforts to federalize and deploy troops to Illinois, and to declare the actions unlawful.

The lawsuit includes a history of Trump’s “animus” toward a Chicago, as well.

Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

ICYMI:

This morning, while @govpritzker.illinois.gov was preaching holy fire against federal immigration agents on social media, IL state police joined feds in arresting protestors at the Broadview ICE facility.

Also: agents set off tear gas a busy Chicago street, and handcuff a Chicago Alder.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

ICE all across the northwest side of Chicago with hotspots in Hermosa and Belmont Cragin. There is a recent development in Logan square as well around Central Park and armitage where videos and eyewitnesses are sharing tear gas thrown at protesters trying to intervene.

Emergency alert: Belmont Cragin stay home October 3, 2025

Icirr eyes on ice update: since approximately 11am today the rapid response network verified the presence of federal agents in Belmont Cragin, zip code 60639 at Walmart on diversey and kilPatrick, Cicero and north, Home Depot at Cicero and armitage

We recommend community members to stay home, multiple arrests have been made. Ice is still in the area.
