27.09.2025 12:57 — 👍 231 🔁 89 💬 2 📌 2There's a video going viral in Chicago right now by a guy claiming large scale raids will start around 2AM in specific neighborhoods. It's BS. The person who posted it has a checkered history of false claims to try to gain followers and drum up business for a private security company he runs.

@tsdav.bsky.social writes about Transy House, where for 13 years one couple sheltered unhoused trans people, including kids.
This week, I talked with @silkys13.bsky.social about immigration raids, rising authoritarianism, mass protest, innocence narratives, and what it means to organize effectively in this moment. Given everything that's happening, I highly recommend checking this one out.

Agents (some FBI alongside ICE/ERO) enter the building:
ICE agents just got extremely physical with protesters, detained what looked like four people and took them inside the building.

Sessions have been canceled (and arrests prevented) multiple times this week due to their presence.

Now: Couple hundred people assembling in the plaza at Ida B Wells and Michigan Ave in Chicago to protest ICE raids and kidnappings. This will be a thread for that.

I wrote a book spanning ICE & borders, Palestine & policing, colonialism & global fascism - in service to internationalist struggles.
I can no longer travel to US, but this book (as well @silkys13.bsky.social & @micahh.bsky.social 's) can come to you
At immigration court in Chicago this morning.
Per reporter inside who was told he can't use his phone, at least three people have been detained by ICE this morning after their hearings; two men and one woman.
Two black SUVs with plainclothes agents inside have arrived, presumably for transport.
I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.
