Hello Bluesky friends! My name is Dan (they/he), and I am an anthropologist and archaeologist currently working on "Pictishness"--the qualities and relevancies attached to ideas of the Picts in historical narrative, and how they are mediated by people's engagement with material remains. (1/2)

Based on all the social media reports, today may have been the busiest Friday for ICE activity that we’ve seen since this surge started.

With hundreds of police now protecting ICE’s facility for them, presumably ICE is able to deploy more agents to snatch people.

Some clergy are begging to be allowed closer to the detention center to perform communion.

"You are preventing our religious freedom," someone in the crowd shouts.

Chanting, "we are the body of Christ! The body of Christ will be free!"

This crowd has swelled considerably. Few hundred here now.

The Lord's Supper celebrated at Broadview ICE facility. The request to bring communion to those detained inside was denied.

We are the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ will be free.

Broadview is just an Illinois State Police operation now. I'm glad ICE not gassing and brutalizing protesters anymore, but it's because ISP is there to do the Feds' job. Feds no longer have to use their own people. ISP waves them through with ease.

feds have been all over chicagoland today.

reports of people abducted from back of the yards, cicero, rogers park, hermosa, barrington, batavia, and bridgeview.

feds are out in force in aurora. not sharing video, but residents have likewise turned out in force—and they aren't happy.

The only Steinbrenner I recognize.
Screen cap from Seinfeld: Back of the head of a grey-haired man (George Steinbrenner) sitting at his desk talking in the phone in a plush office, Yankees logo visible on the far wall.

Man you gotta give Chicago credit for holding back both the National Guard and the Milwaukee Brewers at the same time

Chicagoans fighting the fascists by fucking shit up and Portlanders fighting the fascists with weirdos in chicken costumes and geriatric ukulele choirs is all the proof I need that this country is great and that we will win in the end.

Puerto Rico is America, Puerto Ricans are Americans, also remember when the Who played the halftime show? Coldplay? Or when U2 did the *9/11 tribute show* in 2002? Seems like Americanness isn't the issue.

Turning Point USA announced it will host counterprogramming to the Super Bowl halftime show, called “The All American Halftime Show,” as MAGA critics have been enraged over the selection of Bad Bunny as the 2026 headliner.
MAGA rage over Bad Bunny at Super Bowl sparks an alternative show
Counterprogramming hosted by the group that Charlie Kirk founded spotlights the growing political polarization surrounding one of the biggest events of the year.

This fall has been really terrible for the world, but thankfully I can report that it's also been really terrible for me personally.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.
