In 1861, abolitionists in Chicago claimed no “fugitive slave” had been arrested in Chicago in 8 years. But after Lincoln was inaugurated, the new U.S. Marshal for the territory started making arrests. The more progressive papers howled and a vigilance committee was formed:

As most are aware by now, ICE is slamming the north side today. They've been seen in Andersonville, Rogers Park, West Ridge, Edgewater + Evanston. Several people abducted, agents still active.

AI video has improved rapidly in recent months. There is no doubt it will be used to further right-wing propaganda. Digital literacy is going to become even more essential. Being informed is not passive. It's a constant, active process. Stay alert. Stay educated. Don't fall for alt-right propaganda.

"ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans."

Trump’s ICE Jacks Up Weapons Spending by 700%—Including ‘Guided Missile Warheads’

The Trump administration's massive increase in funding for ICE weapons is alarming. ICE is now armed to the teeth, treating its officers as a private military to deploy against Americans. Why does ICE need guided missile warheads? This reckless spending shows misplaced priorities and cruelty towards all people in the US. #StopICEViolence #DefundICE

How does one demonize literal demons? It’s not even a metaphor to call them demons, we see the videos daily, we hear the cries and screams of our family, friends, and neighbors as they get abducted from our streets- only demons could perpetrate those horrors. Hell isn’t hot enough for any of them.

Bukele is in the running for Worst Human Alive. The fact that this administration cozied up to him as quickly as they did speaks volumes toward their intentions. Not that we didn’t already know, but you don’t make friends with a self-described dictator unless you’re planning your own dictatorship.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.
