🧵 Halloween, as the world knows it, is an Irish invention from ancient Hiberno-Celtic roots. It’s correct name is Samhain & marks the end of the Harvest. It was culturally appropriated by the Christian Church as All Hallows’ Eve. It is a thousand or so years earlier [1] [pic: Macnas]

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

Border Patrol returned to the O'Hare rideshare lot today after taking 11 people on Saturday 10/18. No official word yet on how many were detained.

When we visited yesterday, drivers told us it was very empty for a Sunday.

Last Friday 10/10, they took 18 people here (it's city-owned property).

There are at least three protest actions scheduled today in the Chicagoland area. Two in the Loop, and one in the suburb of Broadview at the ICE detention facility. (Instagram link for BV since I don't have a flyer)

"What [the state] should be doing is getting in the way of these kidnappings. Instead, the state of Illinois has sent the Illinois State Police. This is ... a sanctuary state. JB Pritzker goes on TV every other day talking about how evil Trump is, but the State Police are collaborating with ICE."

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

I think we can turn to the words of Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat, who was assassinated by Israel this March, and who wrote in June 2024, 'Language makes genocide justifiable. A reason why we are still being bombed after 243 days is because of The New York Times.'”

Okay this is damn impressive. Well done, Chicago, and solidarity from LA!
Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.
Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods
This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.
