"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."
โThey 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 theyโd 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...

It's so shameful for Newsom to veto this bill.
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 ๐ง activities in the Chicago area thatโs 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 isnโt from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street Iโve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. Itโs real, and Iโm demanding accountability.

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.

This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.
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.

At least a few arrests. ISP getting violent and issued dispersal orders.
They just said we may be subject to dispersal of chemical agents.
"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.
