This is the reality of Trump’s America: Your neighbors are being abducted, disappeared, and killed; free speech is an arrest-able offense; children and a FIFTH of the nation’s capitol are set to go hungry next month, and the president is busy demolishing the East Wing.

These agents told me repeatedly that my first amendment rights did not matter, all while not reading me my Miranda rights. I will be suing them.

On Thursday (10/23), as I was walking back to the office with my lunch I stopped to heckle a crowd of National Guard and federal agents. I was then tackled to the ground, slammed against a squad car, arrested and held in a cell for several hours.

The American Prospect @prospect.org · 5d

Last month, 300 federal agents descended on a Chicago apartment building by helicopter, zip-tying residents. These raids mark a new phase of a longer campaign of elite demolition of lower-class Chicago. From Maureen Tkacik and Emma Janssen: trib.al/SE1fVo4

The Lost Dream of Obam-a-Lago - The American Prospect

Long before the September 30 ICE raid, Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood had been ravaged by a series of sprawling apartment building pump-and-dump schemes, aided and abetted by industrial-scale mortgage fraud, old-fashioned government inaction, and a smattering of Venezuelan gangsters.

“This month, Meta removed a Facebook group that Chicagoans used to monitor ICE…Apple and Google removed ICEBlock, an app that allows users to report ICE activity”

Two Months of ICE Terror in Chicago - The American Prospect

Chicago is a notoriously segregated city, which means that some neighborhoods have been completely transformed by ICE’s presence, while in non-Latino neighborhoods, it’s mostly been business as usual....

I am already in multiple text and email chains trying to help get people food, and we haven't even gotten to Nov 1 bills due or shutdown consequences yet

Remora House DC 🎃 @remorahousedc.bsky.social · 6d

For DC, this combined with federal workers who are furloughed now needing to access the local food banks, will be devastating

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Exciting news! Workers in some of the most music venues in DC are organizing for better pay, respect, and working conditions.

Solidarity! I can't wait to see a show or go to an event at a union venue in Ward 1 😊 🎸✊🏾

www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Workers take steps to unionize at four D.C. music venues, including 9:30 Club

Staff members at the Anthem, Lincoln Theatre, the Atlantis and the 9:30 Club presented petitions to production company I.M.P. on Monday. They criticized conditions and wages at the locations.

All the caveats aside (Koch money, demographic differences in the base, threats to the ballot box itself) there is a massive opportunity for the organized left to seize state power right now. We must be ruthlessly effective in taking it.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

We began to walk – my family, my relatives, 31 people in all. There were no streets left, no standing houses, only rubble. So we bade farewell to the ruins, ruins that once had been homes filled with life. #eiGazaDispatches

Nothing to return to

The author and her relatives took a long hard road south just before the latest ceasefire was announced.

A ceasefire was supposed to bring calm and a renewed supply of goods. Let’s help our sisters bear such a disappointment without shattering. 💔

Trump has sent masked agents into our communities, abducted our neighbors, violated home rule, and is threatening to do away with elections all together.

Tens of thousands of us came together to say: No crowns. No thrones. No kings.

Free DC.
