There needs to be more coverage of this in the news. I have read so many stories bout this on Facebook, first hand stories of the terror of that storm, and very little coverage n media.

Text says: This was after our 1st drift.. staying put for awhile. Our 3rd and final drift was terrifying. House moving fast then we started spinning in circles. While we were spinning in circles my oldest daughter was just staring at me while I held onto my younger two. Kipnuk doesn't look like kipnuk anymore, like more than 3/4 of the homes displaced, power poles fallen. It smells like stove oil outside. Contaminated

While David Pakman was platforming neo-Nazis like Richard Spencer, the "extreme left" were some of the only people taking the white supremacist threat posed by Nick Fuentes and others seriously.

When we say that liberals and Dems intentionally undermine resistance to fascism before fascists ever get their foot in the door, it’s not just dishing out bloated police budgets.

“Outside agitators” has been used for decades to undermine ethical, militant pushback against fascism for generations.

on what basis are you assuming that protestors are ~outside agitators~ and not residents mad about what's going on in their community?

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

A clarinetist in a banana outfit was arrested yesterday by feds in Portland OR for bringing too much joy probably, & was transported across state lines into Vancouver WA to be held there for spite apparently.

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

An agent photographed on the roof of the ICE facility in Portland yesterday was seen wearing a "Savage Tacticians" T-shirt. ST was called out publicly in 2023 after it was discovered their regular model was a tattooed neo-nazi. The company photoshopped off his tattoos and tried denying it.

A row of five agents standing on a roof in tactical gear. The one furthest right is only wearing a t shirt and face covering.

zoomed-in crop of the agent on the right shows him wearing a Savage Tacticians t shirt.

Harvard/25th is the exit DHS agents use to go to and leave work and the exit used to transport migrants, many of whom have been detained w/o warrants and are legal residents. ISP is essentially coddling DHS agents, making sure they don't have to hear folks tell them to get the fuck out of Chicago.

Portland has it's own far-right creep doing self-appointed bathroom patrols. He's mad New Seasons is humane and doesn't discriminate against trans people who are minding their own business while shopping. Fascists discriminate against trans people so anti-fascists would anger people like Medina.

David Medina portrait outside a bathroom. "@newseasonsmarket is woke trash. I’ve heard many stories of the company firing people for being conservative. Their Portland stores are ran by Antifa."
