plus don’t republicans always allow a few weirdos to take up faux populist economic nationalism? Tom Cotton has been saying this kind of stuff for years. it’s all theater to pretend like they’re for the common person and distract from the other ghoulish anti-human beliefs they have

When I compare what they insurrected over to what we haven’t insurrected over it makes perfect sense to me why they feel empowered to kidnap kids in broad daylight

if you were nearby I’d invite you to our place for our very first chili night of the season. Lo and I like to drown our sorrows with a gallon of it, piping hot with cheese and oyster crackers

by running security at Broadview for the feds, he’s given them a safe base of operations from which to terrorize our city

our governor @govpritzker.illinois.gov could stop this from happening but chooses not to. he is directly aiding the same people he falsely claimed would have to “go through” him

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 22h

Again today, local police outside Broadview just aggressively arrested more protesters. Tough to tell exactly how many, but looks like 3-4 people were just detained.

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 1d

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

While this is going on here, ICE has been spotted on foot + in vehicles across SW + NW sides of Chicago. Can't verify reports rn, but also presuming suburbs. Yesterday was brutal. It's not lost on us they have more agents free for weekend kidnappings now with their facility secured by state police.

the illinois state police are helping ice because they support them and @govpritzker.illinois.gov is sending the isp to help ice because he supports them. if that wasn't true they wouldn't do it and it's fuckin stupid to write fanfiction trying to wishcast otherwise

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.

masked federal agents have been on a tear through chicago neighborhoods today—enabled in no small part by the state + local cops now running security for ice in broadview.

at least 2 people abducted in cicero, 2 in humboldt park/hermosa, 3 in garfield ridge. sightings in schaumburg + hanover park.

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 1d

More vehicles with masked Border Patrol agents inside departing. It's a busy, busy morning for the secret police.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

all it took was standing at an intersection, carrying a whistle, being alert and having my phone ready to record/take photos. seriously, anyone can do this

I joined up with volunteers from a local org today to watch an intersection near my house for ICE while an elementary school let out. There were dozens of people out and about today patrolling the street and sharing potential sightings with each other. It was really heartening to see

This shit is crazy because they're just straight up on video hitting a car that was blocked in the street. The extent as to which DHS now just brazenly puts out lies is utterly obscene.

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

ICE continues its relentless assault on Chicago street vendors. Rapid response teams in Pilsen and Little Village confirmed a street vendor was taken on Cermak and Troy and also on Damen and Cermak. These are on two major Latine commercial corridors.

Confirmed sighting in little village

Today October 10, 2025 at 10:55am we were able to confirm that ICE kidnapped a street vendor on Cermak and Troy in front of the laundry mat. Another street vendor was taken on Damen and Cermak in Pilsen. If you have any more information please call 855-435-7693 or to report any unusual or suspicious activity. Our community is safest when we are informed and organized.

honestly though the whole thing left me sort of wanting to play HoMM 3

I played a few hours of this last night and it was decent. it's very similar to HoMM 3 down to the similar sound effects. even many of the map buildings are the same.

what I didn't like was how it looked. it has this warcraft 3 cartoony vibe that makes everything feel a little floaty
