So the free speech area turned into... a trap for cops to exercise violence against protesters and kettle folks for mass arrests.

That was entirely predictable.

Note the protesters are in a “designated free-speech area” for this protest outside of the facility. The IL police kettle them, & start beating several protesters to the ground anyway. Please keep this in mind when you see Gov Pritzker posting about how he is supposedly “standing up” against 🧊/feds.

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.

Thank you. This is what the dem party needs. Instead of being safe, take a stand. The more the right complains, the farther we need to go helping people.

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.

It's so frustrating. The officers get reports done for them, but none for the protestors.

lori47.bsky.social @lori47.bsky.social · 23h

Yup. Do people really believe the man who's cheats on everything didn't cheat in the election? Musk helped. But because 47 raised false accusations about Biden, very few people are willing to touch the issue or support a forensic audit of the biggest election in the us.

An elected official called for my execution. This threat is a clear attempt to shut down nonviolent resistance against this administration.

I will not be silenced, and our nonviolent people-powered movement will continue to grow.

Yes, mutual aid is how to get out of this. Mutual aid groups donate supplies or funds directly to people- they aren't going to waste all their money on fundraising, red tape, ceo salary, etc. like most big name charities. We can pool resources and fight back.

Remora House DC 🎃 @remorahousedc.bsky.social · 1d

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

NEW: Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates.

Those dates have come and gone.

They’re still stuck here.
