This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

ICE is absolutely out of control in Chicago.

ICE just gassed a group a civilians near the Rico Fresh supermarket intersection on Armitage in Chicago - bystanders say this was in response for being heckled from the street.

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

You can be depressed and despondent and still act.

You don't act because you're not hopeless. You find hope though action.

Block ICE at Broadview on Friday, and come join us at Tesla on Saturday.

It’s almost as if the Trump regime lies

'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say

Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

It appears a collection of leaders and organizations, all at once, decided to obey in advance.

To everyone who caves to this regime, know that you are not protecting yourselves; you are teaching power what it can do.

You’re muzzling yourself, and the rest of us along with you.

You are complicit.

1)There was no normal before.

2)Over the past 30 years, countries without a mass movement recover from democratic backsliding about seven and a half percent of the time; include a mass pro-democracy movement and the chances jump to 51%. (Per @chenoweth.bsky.social's research). So yeah, agreed.

Objection to Trump's agenda really does seem like it's bringing together all different political factions in Chicago; I'm seeing liberal Dems, DSA types, anti-imperialists, immigration rights advocates, Palestine solidarity organizers, etc. all in the column together.
