In Chicago, after many unseasonably warm autumnal days, the temperature has dropped at last. Sunshine has become precious and intermittent again. I dread these days. The dark cold days put my heart to death.

Today I saw the vilest, most disgusting replies from Western and Israeli Zionists to Palestinians in Gaza describing their conditions. A series of hateful, murderous replies to a photo of a sleeping newborn in Gaza.

When a ceasefire comes into play, the lust for blood makes Zionists furious.

People who act confused by Hamas' desire to free Barghoti are bizarre to me, Hamas wants him out even though he isn't Hamas affiliated because they believe he is one of the few, or maybe even the only, individuals who can unite the whole of Palestinian factions under the PLO

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

Hi @govpritzker.illinois.gov you keep saying on TV that you're fighting Trump but in these streets, you're fighting Illinoisans

Quick update on what we just saw here—*before curfew*, ISP troopers, Broadview PD and CCSO deputies began menacing demonstrators outside the ICE facility. Several arrests.

Pepper ball guns at the ready, a bit of a standoff going with remaining protesters. All people are doing is playing music.

This doesn't look like the resistance from JB Pritzker. Same energy as ICE.

Many protesters have dispersed. Maybe 50 left, hard to tell with so much press.

ISP has been holding this line across 25th for the past 15-20 min.

After ordering people out of the street, ISP cleared the entire “free speech” zone into the street before “curfew.”

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.
