The Texas big boy guardsmen have never walked a block in their life. They will crumble at the sight of Midwestern big boy calves.

I remember how, when the Nazis marched into France and demanded that the French police help them round up Jews, they did so with absolutely no hesitation.

In college I worked summers at an amusement park in the Chicago suburbs, and the single most dangerous day of the year was the annual Chicago FOP picnic. The cops would get drunk and roam the park, in shorts and t-shirts, with their guns strapped to their waist. We didn't let girls work alone.

In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

The paranormal Guys ep was a good first ep to listen to on my new (used) phone that was previously used to jack off.

The sign was necessary when they realized it doesn't look anything like what you lock a bike to.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 14h

Literally they've shot two people in Chicago alone, we're all unbelievably fortunate the woman they shot last fucking weekend survived

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Vicky ACAB @vickyacab.bsky.social · 14h

I know there's a lot to keep up with but someone has ALREADY been killed by ICE in Chicago, its not a theoretical question, and folks are dying in ICE detention and being disappeared constantly, when you say "someone's gonna get killed" youre actually washing the blood from their hands 😘✌️

Yeah. Cops and troops are notoriously disciplined and well trained people! I'm agreeing with you. Cops and troops never ever ever do shit like this. We've never had a national discussion about cops abusing people

Also a "happy birthday" would've been nice. I turned 8 today. I mentioned that earlier

Chicago Ald. Gregory Mitchell oversees the 7th Ward, which is home to the South Shore apartment building at the center of last week’s ICE raid.

He didn’t sign the letter.

Mitchell has not yet publicly issued a statement on the raid.

thetriibe.com/2025/10/so-a...

So, about that letter of support for Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes: 13 alderpeople didn’t sign it • The TRiiBE

The letter describes what the agents did to Fuentes as an “abuse of power.” Mayor Brandon Johnson, City Clerk, Anna Valencia and City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin also signed it.

Damn right.

And the strong reporting hasn’t come only from legacy outlets such as the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune but also from newer independent media such as Block Club Chicago, the TRiiBE, Borderless, Unraveled, and South Side Weekly.

There is nothing like being there and seeing things with your own eyes, which is why local journalism is so important.
