Thank you!

An image of the QR code for a group supplying helpful items to protesters at the Broadview ice facility. It says we are the heroes we’ve been waiting for, scan for our wish list.

You know, I did not see any organization as such, they may have been there, but I did not see any signs or specific groups. This should take you to the wish list for the folks supplying medical aid & water & resources. I am not sure that this image will work but wanted to send it along. Thank you!

Younger veteran: "How old are you, man?"

Older veteran: “87.”

Younger veteran: “Out here getting arrested, raising hell at 87.”

Older veteran: “It’s just beginning.”

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

Notice that he doesn't mention the unprovoked ICE attack on protesters at Broadview—who were already complying with the commands of police—probably bc his state cops assisted in that violent attack. He prob thought he could prevent the troop deployment by helping ICE police protesters. Didn't work.

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.

is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

Tbilisi, 🇬🇪 — thousands have taken to the streets right now and are marching toward the presidential palace.

Lanterns carved out of pomelos are a traditional craft of well wishing for children. These jellyfish ones are a great use of any materials and light sticks you might have lying around at home, and I love this lotus lantern made out of two used plastic bottles. 2/2 #culture

A curation of this year's #misautumnfestival lanterns in China. Making your own lanterns (as per the old customs) is back in fashion, especially eco-friendly ones using recycled materials. Like this gorgeous lunar scene lantern, made out of cardboard boxes and packaging. 1/ #moonfestival #lanterns

This is what the state of Illinois sent to greet protesters at Broadview.

ICE attacking people again with support from state cops.

ICE attacking people again with support from state cops. Someone here is being arrested.

ICE attacking people again with support from state cops.

@emanabdelhadi.bsky.social tells these cops about themselves.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

They were human props in fascist propaganda. The state of Illinois should play no role in these theatrics, and we certainly shouldn't prosecute protesters who did nothing wrong. Let ICE spin its own BS cover story. We don't have to lend them IL courts for that.

Please amplify this demand. We need y'all. I was there. We were not in the road. ICE simply let loose on us to film themselves brutalizing and arresting protesters—and state police assisted them. They brought charges against scattered people to create a pretext for this inexcusable violence.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

Your state troopers participated in Friday's fascist photo op attack at Broadview. Get the false charges against protesters dropped immediately!

They are knocking down doors and dragging screaming kids out into the night. I don't know what to say aside from this is it. This is the goal. They have always wanted to make an example of Chicago and it's not as if they haven't other places & other ways. All of it. This is fascism, plain & simple.

A photo of a building with a radio tower in several people on top of the building. Pointing at the people on this roof, words say what’s up fuckos. Other text says this is the ice detention facility in Broadview, which is according to many credible reports treating detainees inhumanely I couldn’t see if the people on the roof had weapons but on previous days they sure did

Roof guys were back. I couldn’t see for sure if they had weapons again as on previous days per other observers, but it’s likely they did. #broadview #iceprotest #abolishice #broadviewprotest

I urge folks to watch this in full if they can. Kat & activists on the ground are 100% correct: That whole "Chicago is a war zone" narrative is FALSE & yet so popular with people in power, but the ones CREATING a war zone are the current regime, DHS & ICE, all over the city & def in #Broadview

yes

Many of us did what Chicago does best, we gave them the finger & shouted & sang & told them they should be ashamed of what they’re doing & gosh, I don’t know who this mean lady is in this video but she sounds v furious as she shouts at tank bros. #broadview #iceprotest #abolishice #broadviewprotest

Thread from earlier. On my timeline, I've also reposted more info about ICE activities at #Broadview detention center & elsewhere in Chicago.

I'm really tired & I'm losing my words & I'd like to be able to say something pithy ... all I got is... this is important. Not me--what's happening here. 💚🔥

💚 appreciate that!

I said what I said.

Windows & doors of ICE #Broadview are boarded up. So nobody can see in. No elected officials can get in to see people or assess the site, as is their right. It's actually not all that large a building. But I guess the important part is the roof, where the guys with guns hang out & DHS films #content

"...these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try."

A priest with a lot of tattoos -- Michael from Evanston -- we talked a bit. At one point, he muttered, "They can't arrest all of us." And I thought about Andor. I will be going back to Broadview. They can't arrest all of us.

"Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously & without instruction."

Your tax dollars at work: ICE agents training guns on people & preventing elected officials from their legal right to assess ICE detention centers. State police helping them. Local police blocking roads so that Kristi Noem could go to Broadview and film #content. We're paying for this.
