When there was radio silence through the weekend, I wondered if this was why. I can't wait for this to play out.

NEW: The People’s Law Office is representing Debbie Brockman, the WGN producer who was detained by feds.

“Ms. Brockman and her legal team adamantly deny any allegation that she assaulted anyone. Rather, Ms. Brockman was the one who was violently assaulted by federal agents on her way to work.”

Statement on Behalf of Debbie Brockman, WGN
Employee Assaulted by Federal Agents

Debbie Brockman, the WGN employee who was physically attacked and arrested in Chicago, Illinois by federal agents on October 10, 2025, would like to provide the following information to clarify any misunderstandings or misrepresentations that have been previously reported.

First off, Ms. Brockman wishes to clarify that at the time of this incident she was not acting in any professional capacity as an employee of WGN. During the morning hours this past Friday, Ms. Brockman was walking to the bus stop as part of her morning commute when she was attacked by Border Patrol agents.
Ms. Brockman, who is a U.S. citizen born in this country, was violently detained on Foster Avenue, on the north side of Chicago. As this occurred, individuals on the street began recording the incident and asked Ms. Brockman her name. In addition to providing her name, Ms. Brockman stated that she worked for WGN. She added this information because she hoped someone would notify her employer so her coworkers would know that she would not be arriving at work that day.
Ms. Brockman was detained and held in federal custody for approximately 7 hours before being released. She has not been charged with any crimes and she intends to pursue all legal avenues available to her to vindicate her rights and hold the federal authorities accountable for their actions.
Ms. Brockman is being represented by attorneys from the People’s Law Office in Chicago. Ms. Brockman and her legal team adamantly deny any allegation that she assaulted anyone. Rather, Ms. Brockman was the one who was violently assaulted by federal agents on her way to work. Ms. Brockman feared for her life multiple times throughout this terrifying experience.
“This incident should be alarming and horrifying to every single person in this country,” said Brad Thomson, one of Ms. Brockman’s attorneys at People’s Law Office. “If armed, masked, federal agents are sn…

Season 2 episode 1 of Watson was a heart tugger with an absolute banger of an ending. I don't know if it's the stress and anxiety of the military invasion in my city but in the last 72 hours I've ugly cried to this and the Ozzy Osbourne documentary. 🤷‍♀️

IKS may' mItlh = IKS Battle Forge
IKS may' tIq = IKS Heart of Battle (or Battle Heart)
IKS jaghma' mIn 'onroSmey = IKS Teardrops of our Enemy

Along with the Sun-Times, I recommend following Block Club Chicago which is a hyper local news org and our ABC affiliate, ABC7 Chicago. ♥️ They've all done solid boots-on-the-ground stuff since things escalated over the last week & a half while still keeping us all grounded with good things.

Also, I mistyped - I didn't mean the city is lying - the *administration* is lying. ::sigh:: Anyway! Stay angry but don't forget to find pockets of joy that are disproving the haters!

Chicago Sun-Times is at the top of the list for reporting on what is happening here. Main page headlines have been focused daily on it but we also need to share & amplify the positive things happening around Chicago in direct contrast to what is being pumped out from the White House.😊

Having a successful Chicago marathon is a huge act of resistence. This is fantastic event to showcase just how much the city is lying about what is happening here. 53,000 runners + all the spectators spanning diverse neighborhoods from north to south to west proving we aren't a war zone.

Chicago marathon race map - Northern most street Sheriden between Lake Shore Dr & Broadway. Western most street is Damen between Adams & Jackson. Southern most is 35th between Michigan & Indiana.

Look, I don't understand how anyone could NOT want this on everything right now but maybe that's because I'm a Klingon weirdo. 🫠

Chicago welcomes newcomers like no other city on earth, all you have to do is 1) tell us how much you love our food and 2) hate fascists

lol the funny thing is that Chicago's lake effect is SO DIFFERENT than Michigan's lake effect and Buffalo & Rochester, NY lake effect.
Ours is so cutesy - "our temps are 2 degrees cooler by the lake"
Everywhere else is like the Elmo fire gif but snow instead. 🤣
