Bob Murrell for City Council District A

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

More racist shit out of Louisiana. Horrible. The worst of the worst. Looks like a stste trooper is on video helping write up a fake police report, telling someone what to write. POLICE CAM FOOTAGE.
A young black man was indicted without evidence and, fearing wrongful prosecution, committed suicide.

Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2020 Trump has repeatedly claimed he’s “the least racist person.” His history suggests otherwise.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

The faces of our generals as they listen to a 34-time convicted felon and 5-time draft dodger.

You can’t tell me the difference between the proud boys and ice fucks in that photo.

Fuckin yikes, man

Screenshot from Sewerage and Water Board pumping and power dashboard. Reads in part that "SFC1" (static frequency converter 1) is online, a major milestone.

The Sewerage & Water Board power complex is now online. They barely announced it in a tiny note on their power dashboard yesterday: "[We] have another 22MW of [25 cycle] power from SFC1 that is being used as part of a 30-day reliability testing period." (1/6)

4. It still doesn't address the *root* causes of crime. Surveillance is not a theory of sustainably preventing crime or keeping people safe. Surveillance gets convictions, but do convictions lower crime rates city or state-wide? No! Put that money to things that do: housing, education, health.

3. In the age of authoritarianism, think about how this much fusing of information is a ticking time bomb (that's probably already gone off) for retribution against people for their First Amendment protected activities, not to mention retroactive prosecutions for things not criminalized yet.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵
