You bring chaos, jokes and interesting questions to the skyline. I always enjoy seeing what you have up your sleeve.

there are a bunch of large accounts that are basically super-polluters for discourse. they also inspire fanatic devotion among people with similar views & a desire for clout.

This is the original thread that led to a bunch of people that have a parasocial relationship with the person brigade anyone criticizing and now we're at TV people getting mad about people criticizing them (it's just like old twitter, lol!)

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

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

At least 5 of the Democrats running for that Congressional seat—including a school board member, a mayor, & 2 state senators—have been on the neighborhood streets doing rapid response, and/or have been assaulted by ICE at Broadview

Uninformed cynicism is a toxin. Please don’t spread it.

If you are buying silly costumes and whistles to help stop our country from sliding into fascism: congratulations on doing more than our elected Democratic congresspeople!

Molly Knight @mollyknight.bsky.social · 11h

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Ordering state police to have a confrontation with federal agents or the military — while it might “feel” satisfying to some — is a recipe for disaster, one in which someone will get hurt, and provide the exact pretext they are looking for to…do something worse. Pritzker is right here, sorry

Laur-eeeeee😱 (spooky scream) @laurie-merrell.bsky.social · 6d

If you still know anyone who imagines that Pritzker or Johnson will order police under their command to arrest federal agents, you can send them this (1hr12min42sec timestamp). They are explicit that they will not and they view courts as only venue for enforcement.

Bigger news is that an appeals court has blocked the deployment of the National Guard in Illinois, leaving federalized IL and TX troops just sort of hanging around. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

Some Texas National Guard troops replaced in Illinois after failing to meet standards

An unspecified amount of Texas National Guard troops were replaced in Chicago, shortly after photos of their appearance were mocked.

Dan the Gnome @brewergnome.bsky.social · 7h

This is happening right now, to a friend of mine in Chicago. This is a peaceful area, with no previous unrest or crime problem. Just people trying to live their lives. My heart hurts. They're having conversations no family should have to have.

A white box with text. "Y'all. They're tear gassing my neighborhood. Right by the place we get hummus from. Right by where we get the extra large pizzas for sleep overs. Tell your people."

“I’m a person too!!!! 😭” as they QT somebody with an exponentially smaller account making fairly benign criticisms, with the subconscious intent of having their followers placate their egos

This is all so fucking dumb. Truly

It’s also weird watching big accounts get butthurt about people calling them out

“People think because I’m a big account they can treat me however they want” oh honey, it’s so much worse for the smaller accounts and you know that

Just about everyone vulnerable has been told to stay inside. There are literally hundreds of trained emergency response people on the streets of the 1.8 sq mile neighborhood. ICE is driving through alleys looking for anyone who’s brown

This is Fugitive Slave Act stuff + foreign occupation
