Daycare Teacher Pulled Out Of Preschool By Armed Federal Agents, 'Traumatizing' Parents The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee is legally allowed to work in the United States.

Horrifying and cruel

If you’ve spent time with LOUD AND CLEAR, let me again say thanks. If you haven’t yet, that’s cool too—it’s there for when the time is right. And if you’re looking for a chill holiday gift for that one heady relative, grab a copy here: static.macmillan.com/static/smp/l...

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

we live in dystopia

"ICE" is often used as a catch-all in casual conversation, but CBP are the ones who've been tear gassing neighborhoods. They're the ones who shot a community member in Brighton Park. They're the ones who paraded around the Loop with a camera crew. Making ICE operate more like CBP could be horrific.

If you would like to support some of the families of people who have been abducted by ICE in my area during the recent federal attacks on our community that I've written about, local organizers have put together this trusted list of crowd funds.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

what the fuck. i still can't get over we have fucking nazis rolling around chicago kidnapping people and handcuffing kids, beating protestors, breaking into buildings and throwing gas grenades like every fucking day now. i love this city and they are fucking terrorizing it

If anything good can come from my arrest, I hope it's that more people demand the shutdown of the Broadview ICE facility, where humans are treated like poorly kept animals. Stop the deportations. Demand the truth about Silverio's death at ICE's hands.

as someone with a lot of organizing experience, i can promise you that misinformation like this makes actual organizing more difficult. people don’t know what information to trust, and they’re also disincentivized to show up because they think there are blockades that aren’t actually there

With credible reports that there will soon be a major increase in federal immigration enforcement activity in Chicago, I want to once again highlight the Family Support Network - a rapid response resource run by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Use it if you spot ICE.

It's really hard not to earnest post right now about how much we love this city and how infuriating it is to see it under threat at the whims of a senile, racist lunatic

chicago’s lookin really fucking beautiful this morning

saw some cardboard tombstones at a wendy’s and did a double-take

THE ZAPPS PRETZELS ARE OTHERWORLDLY

i laughed out loud when i saw the quote that leads this interview.

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life.

It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

vvvv pleased that someone is doing emergency & i

hell yea can’t wait

I was knocked out by @thebanderson.bsky.social’s new Dead book

hahahaha the two brians united once more!!

my person is a new york times best-selling author 🥹

The Grateful Dead’s Wall of Sound Changed Live Music Forever Filling four trucks and as loud as an airplane taking off, the Wall of Sound was the largest, most sophisticated sound system ever built. It nearly destroyed the band.

I had a good time chatting about the book on the @atlasobscura.com podcast.

not sure why only the worst bastards alive are allowed to be in charge of everything. but i guess it's been like six or seven thousand years of that so who am i to argue

CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.
