Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit.

"Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

State Police Led Broadview Protesters Into Street, Then Attacked Them, Demonstrators Say Protesters have said state and local police officers have attacked them and tried to stifle their attempts to speak and protest freely outside the Broadview ICE facility.

โ€œThey literally ushered us into the street to protest and immediately after started beating the shit out of us.โ€

This is 100% an accurate description of how this started.

Broadview PD mishandled the situation from the start, then unleashed ISP to beat the protesters theyโ€™d led into the street.

Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams.

Here ISP lifts @katmabu.bsky.social by her feet to flip her over a concrete barrier.

A FB live just ended in Carpentersville, where neighbors filmed more feds putting people in a van. This was in front of Village Hall adjacent to a Walmart. Elgin area RR has issued an ongoing alert: www.facebook.com/share/p/1CCm...

Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com โ€˜s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someoneโ€™s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.

The medication stockpile bill is the bill I had pegged this year as the most important kind of bill to pass given federal threats, with a short time window to make it happen. Washington passed the same bill earlier this year.

It's so shameful for Newsom to veto this bill.

Gavin Newsom Vetoes Important HRT Stockpiling Bill For Trans Californians, Signs Other Pro-LGBTQ+ Bills The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re ๐ŸงŠ activities in the Chicago area thatโ€™s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isnโ€™t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street Iโ€™ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. Itโ€™s real, and Iโ€™m demanding accountability.

I say this because the way user demographics skew on this site, it's more likely that somebody here's going to be closely connected to Rogers Park than to Gage Park or Brighton Park. I want you to know that Sunday's tactics are familiar to southwest siders and other highly targeted communities.

I canโ€™t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

What assumptions had to be, pardon the pun, baked in to the query (the request for translation) such that that was the best choice of result? This is what @safiyanoble.bsky.social means by algorithms of oppression. These tools necessarily presuppose a much worse world than the one I want to inhabit.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced โ€” and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, โ€œIโ€™m 15,โ€ as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags โ€” now some drive cars without license plates The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say theyโ€™re meeting regulations.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

"Illinois State Police" on the shoulder there. Didn't realize all the "If you want to hurt my people, you'll have to go through me" talk was meant in a, like, "by appointment with my office," sort of way.

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. And the sooner we accept that heโ€™s not going to save any of us the sooner we can start saving each other.

Politicians and community organizers at the city and local level are doing far more than he is, despite having far less power and money.
