“It felt like a war zone,” O’Loughlin said. “It feels like people don’t know the extent of what is happening unless it’s on Michigan Avenue.”

“They tore the whole building apart,” Szymanski said."

This piece means a lot to me. I hope you'll check it out. ❤️

There's a video going viral in Chicago right now by a guy claiming large scale raids will start around 2AM in specific neighborhoods. It's BS. The person who posted it has a checkered history of false claims to try to gain followers and drum up business for a private security company he runs.

You are, in the next few months, going to see a few pro-AI people who start trying to morph into "thoughtful cynics" on the issue, and I can't wait, because I've been taking such detailed notes

incredible

Last year, the FCC voted to cap prison phone calls across the country at 6 cents per minute. The new Trump-appointed FCC chair blocked that regulation before it set in.

Might be a good time to remind folks of the No ICE in California itch bundle raising funds for the immigrant defenders law center (or you can donate to them directly) itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

for those of you who need to know the real deal about the ritz crackers recall it's because some packages labeled cheese ritz have peanut butter ritz instead, which if you got a peanut allergy could be a very bad scene, so here's the story. www.nbcchicago.com/consumer/rit...

<333 Ah thank you so much for the kind words! So glad you like the album! And Save the Night means alot to me, really excited that more people are finding them : )

Oh hell yeah. "Like any other zine, New Session features user-submitted poems, essays, and other text-based art. But the philosophy behind each of its digital pages is anything but orthodox."

this is why they didn't want to let him out. they don't want anyone to be able to report on what they're doing.

this is a fucking disgrace. ICE out of Chavez Ravine now

as the government allows and enables discrimination against trans people, it's important to look at how trans people have looked out for each other in recent history.

@tsdav.bsky.social writes about Transy House, where for 13 years one couple sheltered unhoused trans people, including kids.

This week, I talked with @silkys13.bsky.social about immigration raids, rising authoritarianism, mass protest, innocence narratives, and what it means to organize effectively in this moment. Given everything that's happening, I highly recommend checking this one out.

The detained protesters were put in a van that pulled into the parking garage. No one on scene is sure what will happen to them now.

Agents (some FBI alongside ICE/ERO) enter the building:

ICE agents just got extremely physical with protesters, detained what looked like four people and took them inside the building.

Protesters and ICE watchers are gathering again outside immigration court this morning, where ICE agents have been kidnapping people after mandated hearings in downtown Chicago.

Sessions have been canceled (and arrests prevented) multiple times this week due to their presence.

Now: Couple hundred people assembling in the plaza at Ida B Wells and Michigan Ave in Chicago to protest ICE raids and kidnappings. This will be a thread for that.

I’m in downtown Chicago where protesters are rallying against ICE.

I wrote a book spanning ICE & borders, Palestine & policing, colonialism & global fascism - in service to internationalist struggles.

I can no longer travel to US, but this book (as well @silkys13.bsky.social & @micahh.bsky.social 's) can come to you

At immigration court in Chicago this morning.

Per reporter inside who was told he can't use his phone, at least three people have been detained by ICE this morning after their hearings; two men and one woman.

Two black SUVs with plainclothes agents inside have arrived, presumably for transport.

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.
