The Facebook page ICE Sighting-Chicagoland with over 70,000 members has been taken down by Meta.

Meta spokesperson Francis Brennan, who was director of strategic response for Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, said the page violated its policies on coordinating harm.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

A tow truck is bringing an ICE/CBP vehicle back to the facilityβ€”and its back window has been completely smashed out.

Front driver's side window is cracked, too.

you guys gotta prepare yourselves for real on what you will do when an ICE raid happens in front of you. remember SALUTE when reporting. REPORT IMMEDIATELY! call the hotline BEFORE you post on social media, BEFORE you text your friends, BEFORE you engage with ANY state or federal officers.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds β€”Β  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as β€œwar-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

If you automatically assume that anything any media outlet reports is a lie if a cop is the source you’re likely to be far better informed than someone who automatically assumes it’s all true.

Did you or a friend or a family member get attacked by Trump’s brown shirts this weekend? I’d like to hear about it and maybe do something about it. My email is jchavez [at] ojrc [dot] info. Please put β€œSeeking Legal Advice re: ICE Building” in subject line. All inquiries are confidential.

ICE List – Put ICE on ice

Keep yourselves anonymous, and get the agents' faces ON CAMERA if you can. Then, send it to icelist.is so we can get charges against as many of these terrorists as possible.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him β€œsimply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well.

The cruelest thing about the Trump/Kennedy pseudoscience press conference today is that there are now women who believe they caused their child’s autism.

To those women: you didn’t.
