The Texas GOP was probably fine with the Nick Fuentes groyper group bc their biggest billionaire donor shares many of his beliefs.

Also…there is funding for a lot of outlets and many times I’ve had other writers tell me they’re bowing out bc it’s dangerous. Meanwhile I’m standing there thinking about leaving bc I’m bored.

It’s so safe and boring that I am leaving tomorrow, so that’s not much of an ask. Maybe in a couple weeks.

amanda moore 🐢 @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social · 9h

I am not talking about regular protests. It wouldn’t matter if the funding existed. National writers do not want to get shot at. Or maybe literally everyone I know is lying to me and is secretly super jealous.

I promise the primary problem is that writers largely do not want to go to riots.

Not enough writers with national reach are traveling around getting flash banged and shot at by various police imo.

Absolutely crazy thing to say when that Saturday night gassing was the most egregious, unjustified, and excessive use of gas I have ever experienced in my life. The protesters were doing NOTHING to deserve it.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Image text:

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

Fighting Trump’s immigration blitz in Chicago, ward by ward

Some Chicago aldermen are adding new duties: getting tear-gassed and handcuffed, organizing legions of volunteers, and standing guard near elementary schools.

If you work at a hotel, restaurant, or convenience store frequented by ICE agents in the Chicago area, I want to hear from you.

My uber driver: So ICE shot things at you and now you’re checking into their hotel? What if they shoot things at you in the hotel?

Like please let them tear gas me in the lobby of the Hilton.
