"A man who was arrested for impersonating an officer during the Chicago ICE protests in the Loop Thursday afternoon had a loaded weapon when he was taken into custody, according to police sources."

I asked @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, @deanspade.bsky.social +more what lessons from then we can use now @teenvogue.com
If you care about keeping Black and Brown youth safe in #chicago without putting them in the criminal legal system, then join us next week! If you believe we can hold teens accountable through restorative practices then join us next week! If you believe youth deserve to have safe spaces join us!
13.06.2025 15:26 β π 4 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0I've been documenting movements for nearly 20 years & marching w/them for another 10 on top of that. There's a very narrow window of what pundits/politicians think is "acceptable" & it's usually based on an unattainable myth bc the truth is - a lot of them don't want any kind of activism at all.

Nearly every fight has been a Black fight because of internal diversity and because we don't have the luxury of not being targeted in every way possible.

Tell me you weren't paying attention in 2020,without telling me you weren't paying attention
2020 was a big Public, well documented year of the police acting like themselves in front of cameras
But Many of y'all didn't care to learn that at all I see

If they did care about saving teen lives then theyβd be rushing to pass the #peacebook instead of wasting time on a curfew!

Weβre sick of the hypocrisy! Some alders are cool with being racist & fascist towards youth by imposing a 8pm curfew instead of investing in our safety! But quick to blow through $82 million to CPD for killing, brutalizing & arresting innocent people!
