If all 2.7 million residents of Chicago came out onto the street, ICE and the National Guard would run. Do it!

This is ICE's official number: 50%!! collateral damage, just like Israel. ICE is nothing more than a state terrorist organization designed to attack and divide the working class, just like cops. We must unite all of our forces against them and all the repressive apparatuses of the state.

Armed Agents Raid South Shore Apartment Building Overnight Tuesday The federal agents arrived in moving trucks and knocked down doors inside the apartment building, detaining as many as 40 people, witnesses said.

"Armed federal agents arriving in rented moving trucks busted doors and windows [..] and detained [at least 40] people into unmarked vans as part of a large-scale raid [..] at a South Shore apartment building."

"It felt like a war zone."

Portland protests could pop off as a consequence of these threats. Right now there are only 15-20 people protesting. It could increase a lot now that its a national issue. Let's go Portland!

Things might be about to get nasty for Mamdani. Apparently, Adam's name is going to remain on the ballot. I can't help but think that opens a door for a possible legal challenge if Cuomo loses. Regardless, the race likely just got a lot tighter.
