"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

Another incident of federal agents pointing guns at Chicago area residents.

Think about all the things ppl in our country, in your town, need but never get. Think about all the organized abandonment of ppl struggling in our communities.

NLG Chicago condemns arrests by state and federal authorities at demonstrations outside Broadview ICE detention facility and in Chicago

This is Brighton Park, the neighborhood where a U.S. Border Patrol agent also shot a woman earlier today. It is a predominantly Latine community on the southwest side.

This is an outright lie.

"What [the state] should be doing is getting in the way of these kidnappings. Instead, the state of Illinois has sent the Illinois State Police. This is ... a sanctuary state. JB Pritzker goes on TV every other day talking about how evil Trump is, but the State Police are collaborating with ICE."

Awww!! Thanks Lulu!

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

Eman talked about why she was taking the risks involved with attending these protests here.

These fascists have taken my friend, Palestinian scholar and feminist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social into custody.

This is who @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social is. Brilliant. Fearless. I fucking hate typing this shit out: Free Eman.

Amplify amplify amplify please.

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

Now more than ever, you / I need to develop a cohesive network of likeminded people in your real life (not just on SM).
1. For our sanity & ability to lean on if you are confronted or god forbid - detained by ICE
2. Organize and layout plans to combat whatever atrocity is occurring to our people

This is what the state of Illinois sent to greet protesters at Broadview.

Me too.🤯😓😭

This is a very beautiful episode… and a certain child even has a cameo in it!
