Please note: as of 11:30AM today, agents have restrictions on chemical weapons / "less lethal" munitions they are *supposed* to follow (🫠). This isn't limited to preplanned protests, it also applies to neighbors and rapid responders. If you see pepper balls fired...note it

Police violence is part of our national fabric. You will not find us diminishing that. It's hard to believe any cops could be worse than a department who ran a torture black site. But DHS is entirely unleashed and unaccountable. They will kill more people by the end of this month if not stopped.

future generations will call them the test tube girlies...

wizard frog is insane

ICE en masse physically attacked a crowd of protesters under protection of @govpritzker.illinois.gov’s state troops. Disgusting.

A riot team from ISP is here with helmets and batons.

Excellent tips for keeping ICE out of your phone now featuring alt text

-the absolute fascist insanity of 300 armed agents, some descending from HELICOPTERS, at 1am
-the fact that they rounded up everyone in the building, busted down doors, detained everyone, held them for hours
-that there was no warrant for this

I've shared multiple articles about the ICE raid at 75th & South Shore Drive because no one of them captures everything important:
-simmering tensions over Venezuelan migrants into a Black neighborhood that is the eviction capital of Chicago
-prior deplorable conditions & lack of maintenance

yeah i really wouldn't be surprised if it actually makes you more susceptible

don't have the sources off the top but it has been my understanding that having had covid doesn't make you more resilient to reinfection and people still don't really understand the long term effects on immune health? i've unfort had covid more than once and this most recent vaccine hit me hard too

it fucked me up too when i got it, solidarity <3

How ICE Terror Campaigns Are Used to Discipline Labor While Chicago sees a surge of ICE detentions, workers are facing retaliation as immigrants when they advocate for their rights.

We have an on-the-ground report from Chicago, where the ICE blitz has been met with a community response to protect residents. But some employers are using the abduction campaign to retaliate against and silence worker organizing. From @sarahlazare.bsky.social and @workdaymagazine.bsky.social:

HEGSETH: *points to general's ribbon bars* "What'd you get that one for? Fucking your mother?"

In our holding cell last night, there were 7 white men, two Black men, and one trans woman. In the women’s cell there was one woman.

7 protesters were released last night. You already know which ones those were and which ones were shackled and transferred to an unknown location.

If anything good can come from my arrest, I hope it's that more people demand the shutdown of the Broadview ICE facility, where humans are treated like poorly kept animals. Stop the deportations. Demand the truth about Silverio's death at ICE's hands.

Assata Shakur, political activist and ex-Black Liberation Army member, has died Assata Shakur “died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age,” according to Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age."

She was 78.

ICE advanced again, started firing at photographers/press intentionally. Took a nasty lick to the face, unsure if pepper ball or rubber bullet.

A line of protesters blocks the lot chanting , “No ICE! No KKK! No fascist USA!”

The lot is also used by businesses here. When non-ICE vehicles approach they shout “real jobs!” and move to let them pass.

Just gonna leave these here...

I remind people once again, flash bangs are super dangerous. They can injure, maim, and kill.

NYPD stopped using them in 2003 after they raided a woman's Harlem apartment and literally scared her to death.

Whoever was raided today surely wasn't a Pablo Escobar type. ICE shouldn't use flash bangs.

wisconsin public schools darling

thank you :)

anyway, may this new year be a little sweeter to us all

Driven by the contradictory demands of his situation, and being at the same time, like a juggler, under the necessity of keeping the public gaze on himself, as Napoleon’s successor, by springing constant surprises – that is to say, under the necessity of arranging a coup d’état in miniature every day – Bonaparte throws the whole bourgeois economy into confusion…, makes some tolerant of revolution and makes others lust for it, and produces anarchy in the name of order, while at the same time stripping the entire state machinery of its halo, profaning it and making it at once loathsome and ridiculous.
