It feels like every conversation I’ve had with fellow Chicagoans the past few weeks has started with “Have you seen the video of…” It’s getting worse, and you can tell because there are too many videos to reference. Could literally be one of 20 crazy incidents in the past week.

Fuck ICE.

Democrats need to go as hard branding protest as patriotism as Republicans are labeling it all insurrection.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

There has been a lot of ICE activity in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago today. There has also been a lot of ICE watch and rapid response activity. We love our community, and we are showing up for each other.

If shopping- Trash and Vaudeville, Search and Destroy. It's a high end boutique now, but could be cool to show them old CBGBs. Those are all in lower Manhattan and close to each othet.

Pritzker and the mayor have stepped up. ICE is just acting without any rules.

I live in Chicago. They are definitely agitators. A local news source is suing because multiple reporters got pepper sprayed for no damn reason! They are throwing pepper spray in front of grocery stores. This is insane.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

I hope the nation, if not the world, is paying attention to the abuse of power going on in Chicago.

I keep thinking about this. There are excellent journalist on the ground doing great work. But the level of coverage does not seem to match the level of what is happening here.

Clara Jeffery @clarajeffery.bsky.social · 6d

If what was happening in Chicago was happening in NYC, there would be wall-to-wall cable news coverage

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
