So I think part of the excitement is from the fact that many people doubt Democrats will actually have the nerve to end it when the time comes, so a situation where Rs end it now is appealing.

I walked from Uptown through Edgewater up to Devon this afternoon and there was someone with a whistle every few blocks. Cyclists with whistles were patrolling alleys.

One thing I want you to take from videos like this is the absolute cacophony of whistles and screams of "GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD" from people in the streets and in buildings. And more and more people are at that point every day.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

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.

The dude is so dying. Maybe @jaketapper.bsky.social should figure out what the Walter Reed trip was really about, or do we only care about the health of Democratic Presidents??

DO NOT DO THIS

Jake @jakeythesnakey.bsky.social · 16h

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort

Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

Also if that is your stance maybe you should not be upending existing precedent and/or 50+ page lower court opinions often secured with more briefing and actual arguments!

@balupuppy.bsky.social the 48th ward office has whistles and signs but you can also get them in small businesses in the 48th like Chicago Dance Supply, Understudy, Gethsemane and Loaves and Witches. Here’s us today on Ridge and Clark passing them out

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Personally it's better if they leave and are replaced than when they simply refuse to do their jobs in political retaliation for not allowing them to murder citizens with impunity.
