ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Photos coming out of Western AK are devastating.

Hardest hit are indigenous villages off road system, many miles by air from supplies. Most built on river deltas w/ no high ground to which to escape.

Cuts to NASA/NOAA mean worse weather data. Cuts to EPA mean no grants for erosion control. Etc.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

NYPD cops will flee the force if Mamdani is elected, Ray Kelly warns

"He is a problem. He is antisemitic. He is someone who has a lot of crazy ideas," Kelly told Cats, describing the NYPD as a "target" for Mamdani.

a lot to be embarrassed about here but never forget that Abbott was spouting about how they were the best trained and prepared when he authorized their deployment

The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

Some Texas National Guard troops replaced in Illinois after failing to meet standards

An unspecified amount of Texas National Guard troops were replaced in Chicago, shortly after photos of their appearance were mocked.

The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

Hey, it’s your daily reminder to get out there and do something!

Our neighbors have been terrorized more over the weekend and are pretty scared. Hearing there’s been a lot of interest in rapid response, but schools may still need help. Talk to “friends of” or parent networks at your nearest school.

the illinois state police are helping ice because they support them and @govpritzker.illinois.gov is sending the isp to help ice because he supports them. if that wasn't true they wouldn't do it and it's fuckin stupid to write fanfiction trying to wishcast otherwise

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

"The whole world is watching you, right here in Broadview!"

State trooper/sheriff's officer Coachella over here just keeps growing, too. Gotta be at least a hundred of them occupying this lot now. SWAT watching the protesters.

ISP really wants to get an elevated look here but they’ve been struggling to figure this out for almost ten minutes.

One protesters yells, “I’m certified if you need help.”
