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 don't get it. Why can't the governor give the order to stand down?

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

CPD just relieved feds from this line too. Then a moment later the feds gassed the whole area, including the cops.

Pritzker could start by telling his State Police to arrest out of state NGs instead of protesters. He can take it a step further and deploy his NG against out of state NGs and place them in custody. A lawless regime requires thinking outside of the box and FIGHTING BACK!

President Trump will send 300 members of the Illinois National Guard to Chicago, Gov. Pritzker announced.

Pritzker said military officials called Saturday and β€œgave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will." He said he refused.

We're in a health care emergency and costs are going up.
Republicans would rather shut down the government than work with democrats to save health care.
Republicans won’t even come to the table to negotiate, and Trump is telling them β€œdon’t bother.”

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress just shut down the government.

Why? They don’t want to lower your health care costs.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

Democrats want a deal that will help families struggling with high costs.
YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Democrats want a deal that will help families struggling with high costs.

Why would Democrats throw our support behind a budget deal that any day, any time, Donald Trump could just decide he doesn’t feel like honoring β€” and without getting anything in return to help families struggling with high costs?

That would be a betrayal of the American people.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against β€œKavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating. These detentions, far from the β€œbrief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help themβ€”their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Kidnappings across Chicago’s Northwest Side, Bronzeville, Cicero and suburbs; DHS confirms 37 arrests in South Shore apartments raid β€’ The TRiiBE A day after federal officers swarmed an apartment building in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, agents returned to the South and West sides on Wednesday

ICE in Chicagoland today:

CBP agents were seemingly everywhere, with arrests across several neighborhoods and the suburbs. Exact numbers are unknown.

Neighbors in Garfield Park witnessed feds choking a Black man in the street, and Border Patrol snatched people at retail strips and traffic stops.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.

Trump’s Argentina bailout sparks fury among farmers, Republicans The proposal to provide Argentina billions in financial support has drawn scrutiny from farmers and their Congressional allies.

Millions of Americans’ healthcare and pay checks are left in limbo today because of the GOP’s fealty to Trump. But hey, at least Trump is making sure Argentina gets paid (with your tax dollars). https://www.newsweek.com/trumps-argentina-bailout-sparks-fury-among-farmers-republicans-10809559

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.

This is not making anybody safer β€” it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Just a few weeks ago, a white Mormon assassinated a white Christian.

Now a white Christian drives a truck into a church and shoots and burns bunch of Mormons.

Why does Trump think immigrants and blacks cause all the violent crimes?
