⚡️NEW | From Long Island to the Baltics: Drop Site Investigation Reveals New Details About Canary Mission's Operations

@jsweetli.bsky.social uncovered info on individuals, donor networks, and businesses facilitating the funding of the pro-Israel org linked to U.S. deportation and repression efforts.

LOLOL you’re a social media JB Pritzker fan account accusing Jerry Boyle of being an accelerationist and a Bluesky clout poster, like it’s okay to just take the L and step away from the computer.

It's important to track how many citizens are kidnapped by ICE. But I'll keep hammering the point that it simply does not matter if someone is native-born or undocumented — NO ONE deserves to be brutalized by glorified rent-a-cops in a fascist state. There are no "innocent" victims. Just victims.

Meanwhile, Pritzker’s goons are threatening people with chemical weapons in Broadview, running interference for ICE so it can rampage in the city.

can you be gay for yourself

There is no going forward with ICE. We do not need to keep ICE. ICE only been around for like 20 years, it's not like a building block or some bullshit

Podcast episode listing of Pablo Torre Finds Out with episode title “Share & Strap-On & Tell with Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe”

Superb Title of Ep work from @pablo.show this morning 💯

Yeah, very little on the “they think it’s cool” and very much on the “they understand it’s a recruitment opportunity to reach people who are upset and looking for somewhere to plug in”

Your Friendly Neighborhood Street Medic also recommends this as a vital part of protest aftercare 👍🏽

'“Fascism is here,” said Ald. Andre Vasquez (40th). “We are watching a federal government weaponizing itself against its own people. We are watching unidentified agents with masks on kidnapping people off the street.”'

Post by Jon Seidel (@jonseidel.bsky.social) “After Skedzielewski complains about the logistics of body cameras, Ellis tells him "there's, you know, a simple way to not have to do that though, right?" After a long silence, Skedzielewski tells her "I think we're going to enforce federal law."” Post by Dave Byrnes (@djbyrnes1.bsky.social) “Skedzielewski still attacks the body cam order as unworkable. Says "it would require a tremendous amount of resources" for DHS to pull body cam footage every time there's an allegation of abuse.”

Police-worn body cameras are an imperfect tool, as they still increase the funding & power of policing, but when policing forces refuse to wear or use them, it’s a definite red flag.

foodnotbombs.southphilly IG post caption that reads: “you do not have to perfect your theory before you act. you do not need perfect orthodoxy with everyone you meet. the things you do together will change you both. you do not need to have read a particular book to understand that hungry people need food, that unsheltered people need homes, or that care and access to basic needs are the right of every living person. you do not need lived experience to make community with people who live in addiction or with disability or mental illness or any other state of being. but you should listen to what people with these experiences say they need. it doesn't cost money to empathize. and it's free to act on that empathy at any time. the only barrier to change is the inaction of people who know better. mutual aid isn't a luxury to give or receive. it's easy and it sustains. dm us to find out more.”

ICE took someone at 25th and Hamlin this morning. Masked law enforcement who won’t identify themselves throwing people into trucks and minivans every day all over Chicagoland

A lot of liberals really don't want to admit that the Biden pandemic response prioritized the demands of corporate interests over the health of working Americans. They thought he'd "follow the science," ignoring Biden's decades of supporting horrific wars & policy. Can't admit they got it wrong.

Any dictionary can be a pocket dictionary with big enough pants.

This feels like the White Chicago Guy version of when Andrew Scott told Fleabag to kneel.

Yesterday, Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans issued an order barring immigration agents from arresting people at or near county courthouses without warrants. The order does not apply to Chicago Immigration Court, which is a federal facility.

The Responsibility of Intellectuals in the Age of Fascism and Genocide - Boston Review Speaking the truth and exposing lies is not enough.

At the Third U.S. Congress against War and Fascism in 1936, Langston Hughes declared: “Fascism is a new name for that kind of terror the Negro has always faced in America. . . . This kind of terrorism is extending more and more to groups of peoples whose skins are not black.”

The lengths to which childhood and innocence are freely granted within whiteness in contrast to the adultification & inherent badness forced on Black, Indigenous, & brown children & young people is disgusting.
