the details in this story are deeply unsettling and speak to the unadulterated misogyny that festers throughout border patrol/ice.

i’ve seen it firsthand at broadview many times—grown ass men targeting specific women/femmes in the crowd they perceive as weak or vulnerable to hit and throw around.

UPDATE — For those who want to help, there’s now a way to donate directly to the 7500 South Shore Tenants Union to help with emergency relocation costs as residents “vacate in one of the snowiest winters in Chicago’s history.”

FUCK ICE
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.

Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.

This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Imagine getting off the bus at this stop on a major arterial street in Chicago.

The ramp comes down and you roll off with a wheelchair or walker.

I use this stop often with my kids.

The packed ice is about 4 inches thick. The trampled boot path is around 12 inches wide.
