More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

lately i've been thinking about what the word radicalization means & what it means for a country where three people can laugh openly about dead babies while spreading a conspiracy theory absolving a country committing genocide. it takes decades for a society to become this extreme & violent

Israeli tanks fired directly at civilians on Al-Rashid Street on Thursday as they were trying to return to northern Gaza.

The TikTok outlines that a specific goal of these animations is to multiply their reach by cultivating secondary coverage

And indeed, dozens of major outlets like BBC, CNN and Sky News have aired them, in part or in full, often without context

One of the earlier and most-viewed examples was an animation of Al Shifa Hospital, published in October 2023.

The “underground command room” was recycled from a 2022 IDF animation of an UNRWA school in Tel Al-Hawa; the street above was built from prefab @kb-3d.bsky.social storefronts

Hubert's assets, created as decorations for cyberpunk cityscapes, are used especially widely in animations that the IDF released during their strikes on Iran in June.

Ripped assets from Hubert are shown here in stills from IDF animations, with blue highlights:

We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Scans of parking lots, antennas, and pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all.

Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

As everyone is aware, many federal agencies are active in Chicago right now. It is as important as ever to Know Your Rights. Call the NLG Chicago Mass Defense Hotline at 872-4-NLG-CHI (872-465-4244).

Sometimes (like tonight) I cannot sleep thinking about all of the immigrants who over the years told me we were headed to the place our country currently finds itself, and how little people seemed to care because it was immigrants saying it.

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS

"A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

I am following this debut, and I don’t know anyone who can explain why an opinion journalist has been chosen as Editor-in-Chief. Did we need more opinion at CBS?

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

since newswriters and others recently ratified a new union contract with @wgaeast.bsky.social, I’d suggest everyone covered force her to try to get rid of them and then absolutely wreck her with ULPs

“The Netanyahu government is committing a genocide on the Palestinian people. This is not a matter of opinion. This is a matter of fact that has been established by the global leaders who study genocide."

- Michigan's lieutenant governor, Garlin Gilchrist at the Arab Convention hosted by the ADC.

I’ve been following Palestine protests for a long time. I could be wrong, but this feels different. Protests in Italy are big and numerous. General strike already declared for Friday.

Loads of protests planned in the UK.

Spain, Greece, Germany, Belgium, Sweden either already happening or planned.

The former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, is on the Flotilla. She was on the Sirius, intercepted by the Israelis.

She released a video saying she’s been kidnapped by Israel.

EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF
Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted.
The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.
