Inspired by Northwestern students protesting EdTech-delivered loyalty oaths, by the student-led Luddite Renaissance, by Matthew Josephson, Connie Bruck & @tressiemcphd.bsky.social, I tried to track how kleptocratic antitrust policy enables a surveillance megalith.

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

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 14h

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

If GOP is indeed steadfast in destroying the College Board, the progressive agenda is to make sure nothing replaces it. The College Board is an EdTech tapeworm inside K-16 gobbling away from both ends. I’m pretty sure its GOP critics just wish they owned the tapeworm.

the college board's not a progressive organization

I've proctored dozens of AP and SAT tests at my school and never earned a single dime for any of it.

They profit off an army of teachers providing them free labor.

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor.

“He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

A lot is happening here.

AKlob post on FB: A guitar-wielding Tommy Stinson of the legendary MN-based band The Replacements hit the campaign trail with Tim Kaine on the harmonica with Elizabeth Guzmán and me in Manassas to kick off a canvass for Elizabeth and Abigail Spanberger, the next Governor of Virginia!

That stupid epic handshake meme I like just a bit too much:

Left hand: “Why lookst thou so?" "With my crossbow
I shot the albatross.”

Right hand: “tonight’s ballgame”

They meet: “mariner v bird”

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.
