It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

"civil rights lawyers who wage civil lawsuits against the government are the same thing as criminal prosecution attorneys who literally work for cops" is an insane take but apparently I've disturbed the khive today so they're after me lmao

This fucking pisses me off. Not because I oppose it but because I'm old enough to remember when the left demonized Kamala Harris for being a District Attorney, which they said was basically a cop.

I guess Not All Cops Are Bastards anymore, huh?

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults

This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

also Kamala Harris literally defended California against a lawsuit by a trans woman in prison, so this is extra insane to say. she literally used her power as a lawyer to hurt trans people, not help trans people. those are two different things!

Why aren’t media outlets unmasking these scumbags?

Michael J. Kramer @michaeljkramer.bsky.social · 4h

Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

I would love to have an enforcement mechanism beyond the possibility that a relatively sane government with the capacity and willingness to do enforcement might someday prevail

It is kind of nuts that the entire TRO against ICE was based on the feds proven unreliability with regard to the narrative, yet those exact same feds are the ones expected to faithfully enforce the ruling

That's the Jeep Wagoneer I saw this morning. Seems they spent the day terrorizing Edgewater and Rogers Park.

These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people.

They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks.

Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.
