Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

How many alleged TRO violations is that just today

A federal judge ordered federal agents last week to issue two warnings before using tear gas.

Witnesses said they heard no warnings and none can be heard on videos, @chicago.suntimes.com reports

Environmental racism includes poisoning Latine neighborhoods with chemical weapons

Current view outside the Broadview, around 50 or so people with lawn chairs, yoga mats sitting a listening to speeches from Jane Goodall.

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.

These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people.

They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks.

Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.

Because TikTok is an incredible place, every time we open the app now, we are shown that fake video of a reporter being arrested. Simultaneously, a bunch of commenters are convinced our video of state troopers in Broadview from yesterday evening is AI. Perfect, no notes

The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

Don't forget that your homeless neighbors, the people living in the streets & out of their cars around you that you see every day, are part of your real world community.

Feds just making up laws on the spot to try to scare people from reporting on their activity.

I am working in a restaurant and everyone is scared. We've lost 4 or 5 to ICE. People are afraid to come to work during daylight hours, so they get to work 5 or 6 hours early and sleep in the dry storage until their shift starts. People are sleeping here at night.

Literally every time I see a large van or box truck and even most SUVs I'm taking extra long looks at them for masked men in green

the daily wear and tear of worrying about yr neighbors, constantly vigilant with whistle in hand, etc

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

ICE killed their father. Now they’re in foster care.

Silverio Villegas, a single father, was fatally shot by fed agents after he allegedly tried to flee a traffic stop in Franklin Park.

His family spoke to the Tribune of their grieve and their fight.

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

@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

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

It is beyond pathetic that the ostensibly neutral media can’t state clearly that Donald Trump has ended zero wars in four years and 9 months. I’m guessing that most people think there’s at least some kernel of truth to MAGA’s ludicrous propaganda.

Despite everything, Pilsen was full of joy today. What a beautiful day for the Chicago Marathon.

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Disgraceful
