04.09.2025 14:48 β π 13 π 4 π¬ 0 π 0I found this post really helpful in wrapping my brain around the different agencies that might do Chicago raids.
The biggest takeaway: A lot of attention is on the the National Guard. But federal LEO's (ICE, FBI, etc.) can exert just as much (if not more) muscle & there's less to stop them.
I'm not familiar with this app, but this piece is another reminder of the importance of verifying ICE sightings, which the Family Support Network in Chicago does (hotline: 855-435-7693).
Sharing unverified reports with few details can be actively unhelpful and spread unnecessary fear.
Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this weekβa tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.

Been seeing people say that this is a sign of regime weakness not strength. But spectacle is a big part of fascism and humans aren't brave. The point of this in a visual age is to ensure that people think 'if they do this for something so petty, then there's no way I'll do anything'
