Dig the world's deepest hole. Make a gigantic hill with the extracted earth. Make the hill to hole slope the most epic terrifying sledding hill. Mayoral candidates will have to survive a run down the hill to get on the ballot.

THIS ALERT IS OVER

I HAVE MORE TO REPORT BUT IT IS OVER.

I have reason to believe they are going elsewhere in MPLS but there is a car following them with bullhorns

Two unmarked SUVs, two unmarked chargers, AND TWO MPD SQUADS

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Thread on ICE in holland, Northeast Minneapolis the morning of 10/10/2025.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

A tweet from Mayor Brandon Johnson says Trump has tried to unjustly arrest a Black man and he’s not going anywhere. A reply from Donald Trump says the Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

I just watched a video of an ICE agent trying to find a costumed frog's rear air hole to stick pepper spray in it, and, like, why are we paying people to do this

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Sheriff will write herself a stern warning about violating HCSO policy by wearing her uniform in a political ad.

andy luger and elizabeth shaffer in front of the brentwood apartments in loring park, whose residents formed a tenant union in february after going without heat most of last winter. for some reason i don’t think renters being safe in their homes is what andy and elizabeth mean here?

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

Bench is up! Thanks @ehbforbet.bsky.social

@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.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside Chicago—

Federal agents have kidnapped hundreds of immigrants in recent weeks.

Outside the ICE processing center here, protesters are gathered for another Friday morning demo. Last week's ended in tear gas and arrests.

ICE vans periodically rolling in.

this is as open an admission that an entire agency is engaging in routine constitutional violations that I can imagine

This should absolutely be part of the budget negotiations - locate and ensure safety of every single one of them now! @smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com

This explains a lot. For a moment, I wondered why they'd do something as ridiculous as drop agents on the roof of the apartment building from helicopters, but of course, they did it for this footage. The same reason they were marching in formation downtown and snatched a family in Millennium Park.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

The future of fossil gas is deep underground 🌞

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I don't care if this real or not, it brings me giddy joy to imagine

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Honestly, even the most pragmatic centrists amongst you, be fucking honest now - what do you think a love letter between Trump Homeland Security folks and Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara portends? Remember, be fucking honest (at least with yourself).

Me too, for 6

This is spot on. Our capitulation to the ‘inevitability’ of AI couldn’t come at a worse time.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.
