At 105th chaos erupted when ICE agents allegedly crashed into an SUV. A crowd formed and objects were thrown. Pepper balls were shot into the crowd. Police arrived to try to have dialogue with the crowd when witnesses stated they began throwing rocks at ICE. ICE then deployed tear gas.

It appears ICE/CBP chased a vehicle, conducted a dangerous maneuver to intentionally cause a crash, then later tear-gassed bystanders.

Across the U.S., parole boards are releasing fewer people than in 2019.

Does this look like a system that values bettering people and giving them a second chance?

Chicago’s East Side neighborhood has a history of being one place where industry concentrates its most polluting elements. That environmental racism plus the release of multiple forms of chemical weapons today exacerbates terrible health consequences for a mostly Latino working class community.

masked federal agents used multiple canisters of tear gas + other chemical munitions on a crowd of residents in chicago's southeast side around 12:40 p.m.

neighbors had gathered on a residential intersection following a morning during which dozens of border patrol agents terrorized the community.

Militarized extrajudicial murder is quickly normalizing itself and the hard reality is if it’s being normalized internationally it will be normalized and used at home against the fascists perceived enemies.

Anarchists are known for our courage. We have gotten used to acting boldly in an array of contexts.

What is needed now is the courage to establish public positions around which a fighting movement can cohere.

This both scarier and simpler than many of the things we have done in the past.

Oh man the first Free Press / CBS News crossover and it's the dumbest of the bunch, which is a competition of champions, Olivia Reingold.

Pretty clear sign it is going to be brain worms all around. No chance of moderation, just all editorial and propaganda painted as "CBS News".

@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze) @newsjennifer.bsky.social · 1d

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.
