They tried to freeze us out. We showed up anyway.
Honks, signs, solidarity — Silver Glen Bridge understood the assignment.

The reviews for “Melania” are going to be far more entertaining than the movie. What a fabulous headline:

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

In 2012, Obama deported about same # of people Trump did in 2025. But in 2012 we didn't see ICE terrorizing communities across country, assaulting peaceful protesters and committing murder. Reason is Trump intentionally wants ICE to be his Gestapo. This is NOT about immigration, it's about FASCISM!

We went back to South Elgin Home Depot — quietly, creatively, relentlessly.
Little yellow notes. Big uncomfortable questions.

Super cold. Zero notice. No hesitation.
We showed up for Renee Nicole Good.
We showed up with the resistance.
We showed up because ICE needs to GTFO.
Visibility matters. Presence matters. We matter.

Tonight we brought Carols for Justice to the Home Depot in Elgin — lifting our voices for our immigrant neighbors with parody carols to Feliz Navidad, Hark! Hear the Bells, and Jingle Bells.

Because solidarity is a song — and we refuse to be silent.

The night before Halloween, the bridge came alive 👻
Skeletons, unicorns, the Blair Witch, even a chicken — all lit up for democracy

Together we summoned light in the face of fear
Because yes — Trump is scary AF — but we’re scarier when we stand together

Hate can’t compete with joy, truth, or community and it sure as hell can't dent democracy - because we won't let it.

The Visibility Brigade will be out again next week — and we’ll clean the bridge for free. 💪

Re: Landing the plane

STOP THIS RIDICULOUS CHARADE. There is no way to negotiate with Trump & the Republicans. You can't land a plane with them. They own the crash.
Jeffries: "We're headed into the meeting [with Trump] to have a good faith negotiation about landing the plane in a way that avoids a government shutdown but does not continue the Republican assault on the healthcare of the American people."

Here's what we're tracking so far:

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

The Trump administration’s cruel immigration enforcement tactics are recklessly endangering all Illinoisians, including hardworking immigrants and US citizens.

This isn't the nation I know or grew up in — know your rights, stand up, and speak out.
