We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch The Phantom Meanace, particularly the scene where Jar Jar Binks asks “Yousa thinking yousa people gonna die? Gungans not giving up without a fight. Wesa warriors” The clarity of that brought down an empire

we showed the brutality of the anti-Black (and anti-ally) violence by police in 2020 (and before) yet we still got Trump for a second term and police violence has only worsened.

sure elon 👍

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

I recently reported on an ICE officer who was publicly reprimanded and “relieved of his duties” after shoving a woman to the ground in an NYC immigration court. Well, he’s back.

DHS did not respond to a request for comment.

How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.

“When you get a suspicious book, “you look it up to see what else the [author] has written. And you see there's 30 things, and none of them have any reviews, and they were all written in the last two years,” DeMeester-Lane says.”

This Evanston Roundtable article is phenomenal. The pictures are wild, but also it reports the chaotoc attack on protesters, in which IL State troopers participated, was directly ordered by Noem herself and led by Bovino who called the "Free Speech Zone" for protesters a "Free Arrest Zone." Do read.

Refreshing to hear this true statement from someone in power. It’s the main key to understanding what’s going on.

Mutual Aid in the Age of Fascism - Boston Review As people are being deputized to do violence, building connections is political resistance.

"A fascist society is one in which some people are deputized to do violence, and everyone else is forced to defend themselves. Those who have lived under an authoritarian regime know how it weakens collective self-defence." www.bostonreview.net/articles/mut...

How many Senate and House seats does the NFL have

ISP gets in formation and a number of them march away from the intersection, toward the parking lot neighboring the ICE facility (it belongs to a business, not ICE's lot).

The crowd starts a rendition of The Imperial March.

At the Broadview, IL ICE detention center—

IL state troopers are already pushing non-violent demonstrators out of the street and away from the ICE facility. One arrest so far.

The Democratic establishment waffles about Trump’s police state while the NFL is happy to book the most anti-ICE superstar

Locals, CPD, press, a few protestors and legal observers remain on scene but the feds are gone. Air is still foul from all the chemicals. One protestor found one of the gas cannisters feds were deploying into the crowd

It seems the agents have left the scene via back alleys leading away from Kedzie. Walking west from the initial scene there's a trail of people coughing, neighbors turning on hoses to let people rinse their eyes.

A local going by Jose says he was caught in gas an agent fired out a car window.

Hoping he recovers from his injuries but also:

One resident of the apartment building ICE raided told Reuters that agents broke down her door, then "told them to go back to their country and made a sexualized remark about Venezuelan women, she said. One of the agents hit a man in front of her son."

DHS inflicted all of that trauma and only arrested TWO “suspected” gang members—but, hey, at least they got their security fetish porn footage.

This is an hour and a half, but really well done.

perhaps the salt truck uprising WILL come to pass

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy
