Thinking a lot about how we’re seeing public safety without cops in action on our streets, right now

Spouse went to get kiddo & friend’s kiddo early today given reports of ICE nabbing folks by nearby schools and ppl had come out in force to cover the area. Honestly turned a stressful situation into a heartening one for us (with all the caveats about our positionality of course). ILU Chicago ❤️

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

I gotta say, I think I’d rather face that than the time Laura forgot something and my 5yo looked them in the eye and said, “Your mind is not right”

I haven’t been on here in months (and probably won’t be for many more) but since I’m at home recovering from chemical weapons exposure and found my way over to catch up on a friend’s feed, I thought I’d add to what has already been shared about Chicago protests against ICE & CBP.

What did you think was going to happen when you decided to send state police to these protests @govpritzker.illinois.gov? They did nothing while ICE attacked protesters even when complying with your new restrictions

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 8d

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

The absurdity of doing a smol data pipeline migration while ICE snatches people off the street literally a block away

That’s my State Senator @gracielaforsenate.bsky.social looking entirely badass – grateful to know I’d have this kind of backup of I were snatched off the street

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 21d

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.

Happening now: ICE tear-gassed a protest crowd outside its Broadview, IL facility which includes elected officials (Illinois Lt Gov & US Senate candidate Julianna Stratton was there at one point) and local news crews just a bit ago

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 22d

The agents eventually do successfully transfer the vehicles. Meanwhile, the @abc7.bsky.social news van gets gassed.

Anyway, enjoy this incredible mural they’ve painted on the Horner Park mangoneda stand

A park concession stand painted with a blues brothers mural except John belushi is a mango and Dan akroyd is an ear of corn. John Belushi Mango has a fist tattooed with “L-I-M-E” on his fingers and Dan Akroyd Corn is holding a sign that says “con CHILE”. It is beautiful

I just blocked the WaPo channel on Apple News since they mete out publishers’ share of revenue based on engagement. Small thing but easy to do, especially now that they’ve fired or driven out their best.

I don’t know if media will start verifying police statements with external evidence (especially when they’ve shot someone) before they die of irrelevance but independents on a shoestring budget are showing how it should be done

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 27d

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

Just here to share my kid’s total excitement about taking the Tiger line this morning

The view out the window of a CTA train – an orange sign on the train is visible saying “Midway” and a sign outside the window says “Rockwell”, a Brown line stop
