Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

Oscar says this roll has to last you 2 weeks.
You could save it to watch every night / morning if that’s your thing. 😉

Cook County sheriff's officers just singled out one demonstrator for a bag search.

Folks playing some thematic standoff music now.

Really just cannot express how non-threatening this small group of neighbors appears at the moment, and how absurd this massive police presence appears in comparison.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

They just get to do this to any of us now, then lie about it

Update: WGN-TV, without naming the employee, said she has been released from Border Patrol custody without charges. WGN-TV says it can't release her identity because of an internal newsroom policy.

Yeahhh Toes is the winner wooohooo!!!!!!🥊🥊

In a matchup of Toes’s photo editing skills to Eddie’s deeply researched plague mask GIFS, Toes had the advantage. But it was a good fight. Uncontaminated Croissants for everyone!

Great kicker. Marc Benioff’s PR team wanted him to do an interview about philanthropy. Instead he sounded off on a bunch of Trump policies he supports and called for the White House to send troops to SF.

Doesn’t seem like the comms team was pleased with how the interview went..

I just got off a call with a group of young people who were seeking some guidance for a project they have launched in their community. Folks, I can tell you that we are blessed in this generation. They are smart and importantly so damn compassionate. ALSO, they know more than we did at their age.

The Rise of Medical Fascism The US medical profession’s long history of complicity with state violence has prepared it for compliance with Trump’s authoritarian orders.

Chicago hospitals need to establish a security perimeter and not allow any ICE vehicles/agents inside—and certainly not unless they have a valid, specific judicial warrant. That’s the bare minimum they owe our communities. Not one is currently doing this.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.
