These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people.

They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks.

Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.

Political folks: Is it a bad sign for your campaign when your opponent is airing your interview responses, unedited and with full context?

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

ICE pulled GUNS on 3 people in the Rogers Park area today.

In just a single Chicago neighborhood today, ICE went after
rapid responders, "pulling guns on at least three people and arresting one volunteer."

We don't know how many people they took. The last update I got from a source I trust was between three and six, and they weren't even entirely sure about that range. ICE was also far more aggressive with our rapid responders today, pulling guns on at least three people and arresting one volunteer.

Local is sold out and Amazon is also sold out but if you have a third supplier we’re all looking for more!

Everywhere else is sold out because everyone feels the same way.

At the farmers market I offered to two people and was swarmed. I just held them out in a clear ziplock bag and people came for them after that.

Pleasant day out in my neighborhood in Chicago. There was a farmer’s market and people are out strolling, chatting, and sitting out on porches. Just like every weekend.

Except now most of us are wearing whistles to alert neighbors if unidentified guys in tactical gear show up to kidnap people.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Leon's, the oldest continuously operating gay bar in Baltimore since 1957. The building itself opened in the late 1890's as a bar called Georgia's Tap Room. During Prohibition, it was a speakeasy and, after WWII, became a hangout for beatniks and artists with a mix of gay and straight patrons.

ICE was once again a presence in Evanston and Rogers Park this AM, with masked men taking multiple members of our community off the street. Here are a few things you can do right now to stay safe and help protect your neighbors

Re: 2, you’d be surprised! I think I could fit a thousand in a “medium”
Boat and Tote. 72 fit in a gallon sized bag with room to spare. I bought my first 120ish and immediately had 300 more donated when folks heard I’m passing them out.

He has a big program to find them - millions of dollars in paid foundation staff to seek out people he doesn’t already know. It’s somewhat similar to saying MacArthur Genius awardees are elite - they are now, but last week I hadn’t heard of a single one.
