Folks don’t always get that protests preoccupy law enforcement that suppress the protests. Those folks in Broadview are getting gassed, beaten and arrested in lieu of immigrants getting the same treatment. They’ve mounted a heroic struggle to protect our people.

Remember in 2020 when CPD lost control of the city for an entire week? Good times

He’s dumping the problem in Brandon Johnson’s lap. With ICE cut loose to attack the city, the focus moves to Chicago; they’ve been everywhere today, even my neighborhood.
If Johnson follows Pritzker’s bad example, and sics Chicago Police on folks resisting ICE, all bets are off.

My neighborhood is deep in the city, full of immigrants, and about as resistant as it gets.
ICE knows Pritzker has their backs, and probably expects Johnson to run interference for them too if they get in a jam. It looks like he will. Big mistake. It will not pacify this town.

Pritzker’s Joint Command brandishing chemical weapons is an escalation. He’s ratcheting up the pressure to shut down the Broadview protest, so ICE is free to rampage in Chicago.

NEW — Both Broadview police and Illinois State Police aggressively pushed demonstrators back behind the barricades during today’s demonstration.

They didn’t deploy teargas or any other chemical agents, but some carried pepper ball launchers.

No troops in Broadview yet, but anti-ICE protestors say state and local police used intimidation tactics in crowd control • The TRiiBE

Several hundred demonstrators gathered in Broadview to continue calling out the federal government for its aggressive immigration enforcement and the treatment of detainees at the facility.

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.

Community organizers are often little more than counterinsurgent protest celebrities, and the term 'grassroots' is a red flag.

Decentralized groups autonomously coming together gets shit done more effectively because people have an inherent capacity to self-organize. They don't need leaders.

The fact that a lot of zines circling in the anarchist milieu are just blog posts stripped of publishing date and location which would help provide tons of context is so infuriating. Locate your texts in time and space!

Hard to overstate how much of a mistake it is that people now put info exclusively on social media accounts but not on any kind of open website where that info could be accessed more generally and in a less fragmented manner.

Saw someone say that calling the cops for help is like calling a pack of rabid dogs to your location and hoping for the best and I think that applies to US intervention, too.

Fuck.
