Just like people from Chicago suburbs who say they are from Chicago.

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up. Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

Border Patrol is terrorizing Gage Park this morning (video from Facebook, 55th & California reportedly 9:40am). SWRR reports agents are highly active and were also seen at the Pulaski orange line again: instagram.com/p/DPtwEY7DhTy

Marathon in war-ravaged Chicago where participants run for their lives due to the extreme gang violence 😂

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Yeah, an infernal CBP helicopter woke me up early this morning. They’ve been buzzing my neighborhood like harpies all weekend. It reminds me of occupied Ireland back in the day. The racket casts a pall of doom, provokes a mix of sorrow and anger.

So. Many. Helicopters. It is unnerving. #Chicago

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Keeping Portland weird!! Love it.

I made this one while camping last month. It is so soothing.

Started cutting up cloth strips to make a braided rug to try to calm my nerves.

Amazon prime frog costumes are sold out. Good job, America.

Broadview.

🚨 BREAKING: Illinois police attack & arrest ICE protesters outside Broadview Detention Center near Chicago. This occurred after a protest curfew imposed by city of Broadview passed. LIVE LINK ⬇️

More violent arrests for seemingly no reason. Seeing at least two, sorry don't have exact total.

The crowd here has kept moving backward/everyone is following orders. This is absurd.

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

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

A perspective of a crowd that is at least 150 that is protesting ICE.

People are SHOWING OUT for today’s Protect Rogers Park ICE protest at Clark and Lunt!

There are a lot of great resources here:
- sign making
- school watch group chats
- ICE Watch newsletters
- KYR posters
- and more!

Drop by before 3!!

I was in Chicago in April for C2E2 comicon. It was beautiful! I was a woman traveling alone, I even walked back to my hotel at dusk down Michigan Ave. No one bothered me, nor did I get harassed. I felt safe.
Stay strong Chicago, sending love from another "trump hellhole" in the PNW!

So. Many. Helicopters. #Chicago

Back at Broadview where ISP and CCSO are sitting with zip ties at the ready as protesters shout down passing ICE vehicles, yelling at them to show their faces, etc. Some shout at officers about taking orders from Trump as ISP vans arrive for shift change.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

As a sister of someone with a rare genetic syndrome, you don’t want to mess with our families. Bad call.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Without ACA tax credits, a 64-year-old couple making $90K would face an extra $26,000 a year in premiums.

Democrats are working to protect families—Republicans are ready to let these credits expire.

These are not simply employees, they are the scientists, field epidemiologists, and outbreak responders who form the backbone of our nation’s public health defense.

The damage being done tonight will echo far beyond what you are reading. These are the people who protect this nation #CDCMassacre
