Despite strong objections from Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and the people of Chicago, the Trump regime is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago today.

If you are in Chicago and need guidance on how to interact with the Guard, here’s a helpful guide:

Under Nazi rule, clergy who refused to support the regime were surveilled, arrested, assaulted, and in some cases, executed. The Nazis publicly aligned themselves with Christian values while targeting religious figures who defended the vulnerable or spoke against state violence.

I met an agitator the other day. Managed to get everyone around to recognize his rage bait. He literally left minutes after he stopped getting attention.

Satisfying.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

ICE murdered a Chicagoan, Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, and lied about the details.

Days ago they shot a Chicago woman and lied about the details.

It could be any of us next.

Please get out on the streets and make your voices heard.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Today a judge said what has been clear from the beginning: the evidence shows the Trump Admin is vindictively punishing Mr. Abrego Garcia for having the audacity to pursue his due process rights.

Those rights MUST be upheld. This is not about one man — it’s about ALL our rights.

There is frustration where many in this community supposedly stand for social issues but are absent when it comes time to move past their screens.

You need to rally your communities where you can. I've rallied dozens of furries to peaceful demonstrations already, I certainly can do more. We all can.

Really need furries to wake the fuck up because the "at first they came from" list is right at our doorstep. Stop this shit now before there is nobody left to fight.

In addition to gassing people on public streets today, ICE handcuffed and detained Ald. Jesse Fuentes (26th ward) today at an ER.

As we’ve seen repeatedly, ICE agents exhibit little self-discipline or understanding of the law.
