Chicago saw decreasing murders in 2022, 2023, and 2024. In 2025(Jan-Aug) saw less murders than every year except 2014 and 1964, prior to Operation Midway Blitz which began in September.

Obvious lies fuel their propaganda, which makes for a very shaky foundation. Not something that can last.

Judge says he'll order release of hundreds of people arrested under feds' deportation blitz

Hundreds of people arrested and held in custody amid the feds’ deportation campaign in Chicago could soon be released on various conditions under a federal judge’s order Wednesday.

DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived. Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.

Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer.

He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight — long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

Okay 1st, I called this months ago. Downtown photo ops. 2nd, last time I checked you can’t just bring guns into Millennium Park. 3rd, FUCKING GUARD DOGS?! Also: “While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” And finally, I love Block Club sm!!

Time to swear in Adelita Grijalva, let her cast the final vote to release the Epstein files!

Disappointed in Dick Durbin tonight.

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

outside the ice detention center in broadview, illinois:

the illinois handmaids and the democratic women of cook county are demonstrating against the kidnapping of community members by federal agents.

Feds Tell Faith Leaders 'No More Prayer' Outside Broadview Facility In a possible violation of the First Amendment, federal officials instructed demonstrators to stop holding religious gatherings outside the immigration processing facility in suburban Broadview after ...

The feds have declared "no more prayer" and are banning religious gatherings outside the ICE detention center near Chicago. The fake Christians keep getting more fake.

Why I Am Leaving the Federal Bench A judge explains his reasons for resigning.

A leading federal judge quits in protest of Trump's corruption-- & to fight it

Wow

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks.

So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

Developing story with a big fat caveat that DHS has been lying about what’s happening in Chicago for weeks.

CPD helping ICE is going to mark a turning point in the Chicago immigration raids. Bovino and his brownshirts clearly have no regard for the courts, so how does this end?

Shots fired at Border Patrol agents during immigration operation in Little Village, DHS says Someone fired shots at CBP agents as they conducted an immigration enforcement operation on Chicago's Southwest Side on Saturday, DHS said.

My policy is not to believe anything DHS says without solid evidence. abc7chicago.com/post/little-...

Bovino is back at it, tear gassing babies while CPD clears his path.

“Either you’re with us or against us, either you protect us or protect ICE,” Baltazar told a CPD officer blocking those following the convoy.”

Full SNAP benefits start to go out even as the Trump administration appeals A federal judge ordered the government to fully fund food aid by Friday. The Trump administration's appeal was denied, so it's asking appealed, saying it's up to Congress to fund SNAP.

There is no doubt at all that the Trump Administration spent the emergency USDA SNAP fund and they may have even spent the regular SNAP funds.

In this article they claim USDA would have to dig in couches for something that isn’t there.

Where is the SNAP money?

I’m super focused on Chicago but this absolute bullshit also happened today.

A juxtaposition: Gregory Bovino at a gas station, complaining that “Just to go use the bathroom and get something to eat” is a “safety concern.” Just after asking a dude buying a soda where he’s from.

Well. That injunction didn’t last long. Color me surprised.

They are offering them $50k signing bonuses. It’s disgusting.

I love that the ruling is “Chicago fucking rules, fuck the liars and the haters”

Families 'Horrified' After Daycare Teacher Pulled Out Of Preschool By Armed Federal Agents The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee, who cares for infants, is legally allowed to work in the United State...

There were other workers, kids and parents there who witnessed everything. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/05/d...

Every teacher in America knows what to do if an armed intruder enters their school. We literally train for that exact situation. The difference here is the intruder is our own government.

My north side neighbors showed up tonight at an emergency rally to keep ICE out of schools after a day care teacher was arrested inside her day care this morning with children inside. The rest of the country needs to pay attention! #chicago

There’s nothing that Chicagoans love more than outsiders coming here and claiming our city.

Jesus Christ.
