Trying to do right in a screwed up world. I cover protests and things. Bit of a miscreant. In my defense, I was left unsupervised. (she/her/Antifa)

I remain interested in the dwindling National Guard presence here in DC, while well aware that ICE/feds are still terrorizing residents.

So far today, saw three NG on the platform at Gallery Place metro.

Did a thorough search of Union Station and only spotted one NG. I assume they have a partner.

A single, solitary National Guard talks to the driver of a white shuttle bus outside Union Station. It’s sunny and the blue sky is clear.

Sunlight filters in and illuminates the glorious arched ceiling at Union Station. Rows of octagons run along the arched ceiling, a gold circle in the center of each one. A row of stone statues, their backs turned to the camera, overlook the main concourse.

A couple of police (I think Amtrak police), standard for Union Station, and one police dog who looks to be an older lab mix. They’re still a good dog, despite working for the police.

The southwest corner of Union Station, where the escalators go down to the Metro. Lots of stone arches are visible, but not a single National Guard.

The action hasn’t died down in DC, they’ve just made it less visible after their shock and awe phase. I’d bet we’ll see the same in Chicago & Portland.

The “emergency” ended a month ago, but I woke up this morning to reports of 3 ICE actions within a 10 min walk of my house within 6-7:30am. #FreeDC

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

Yep.

We are still occupied. MPD is *still* cooperating w/the feds, despite the mayor saying they're not.

A couple weeks ago I was stopped for a "routine traffic stop" by the Secret Service (& no person they protect was anywhere nearby).

It's hell & folks are fighting.

Robyn Swirling @rswirling.bsky.social · 1d

Once again: this is also happening in DC. Still.

It feels like we’ve been forgotten, maybe because there aren’t huge confrontations to run photos of. But our neighbors are still being taken every day. Routine traffic stops are now done by 12+ feds alongside local police.

Please talk about us too.

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes.

A few messages seen today in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood

A poster on a pole next to a street says:
“ICE YOU ARE NOT INVISIBLE
!RECORD!
!RECORD!
!RECORD!
NAZI RATS LEAVE OUR CITY”

A stack of posters featuring a hammer-wielding figure with the stars of the Chicago wrapped around his torso. It says:
“I PREFER MY ICE CRUSHED. END IMMIGRATION ARRESTS, DEFEND OUR SANCTUARY”

A sign in a store window says: “WE DON’T [SERVE is crossed out] FEED ICE OR PIGS! even if you steal this sign”

The words “ICE OUT” are written in chalk on a sidewalk.

We're told at least one person was arrested—and later released with a citation for disorderly—by Broadview police for simply being on the Maywood side of 25th at Harvard St outside the ICE facility this morning.

They were documenting agents coming and going as electeds have told people to do.

On Sunday, Albany Park residents came out of their homes to link arms and shout down ICE agents attempting to abduct one of their neighbors. They were successful, even though in response, agents ran over one woman's foot and deployed tear gas.
