Olly’s hand holds an 11x17” poster in front of a white brick wall. The dark image includes many garden plants, people marching arm in arm, farming and caring for children. White letters read “I am committed to growing our next world”. Below are the quarterly moons of 2026 in yellow and dark purple.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW:
(Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122
(Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831
Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.
Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker now to demand that he remove the ISP from Broadview. No state resources to protect kidnappers. Pritzker: Call off the IL state police 312-814-2121

Broadview, Illinois today—

A dizzying array of federal and local police quashed an anti-deportation protest outside the Chicago ICE "processing" facility. Border Patrol agents once again violently attacked protesters, with arrest and crowd control support from IL state troopers.
Protesters face off with state troopers with batons ISP putting protester in arrest wagon ISP trooper side by side with Border Patrol agent CBP ride their armored truck down the street for a propaganda op

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

ICE is terrorizing immigrants—and being used as a tool to discipline labor. A witness in a wage theft case was detained. Immigrant warehouse workers face discrimination. Day laborers and street vendors are being targeted, and so are rapid response networks. My latest.
How ICE Terror Campaigns Are Used to Discipline Labor
While Chicago sees a surge of ICE detentions, workers are facing retaliation as immigrants when they advocate for their rights.

Very grateful for @hoofprintchicago.bsky.social printing these for me! They turned out beautifully!!
I hope this poster can act as a visual reminder of our agency as world builders. To remember that we are invited to bring together our skills, our relationships & our imaginations to build new infrastructure that is caring, nourishing and rooted in our collective survival. Are you WILLING TO BUILD?
…I am always dreaming up new ideas and making things, because the world is not transformed primarily by what we think of it. Transformative change happens when we are willing to build the things we know must exist.” -Mariame Kaba ✨✨✨
“I have learned to take the construction work of organizing as it comes, creating things that I believe have to exist and working with others to build containers, organizations, and projects that I believe the world needs…
This quote comes from Mariame’s intro in Let This Radicalize You, co-authored with Kelly Hayes @mskellymhayes.bsky.social The full quote reads;
What are you building? What are we willing to build together? What do we know must exist?

Olly’s light skin hand holds a black poster in front of a garden background. Stary white words read “Transformative change happens when we are willing to build the things we know must exist.” A quote from Mariame Kaba. The image of a pitchfork and shovel surrounded by plants sits in the lower left half of the poster.
I love these prints, this quote and I hope we sell out :) @hoofprintchicago.bsky.social did such a great job!!

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

Please read this. “Less than one week into President Donald Trump’s surge of deportation arrests in Chicago, an immigration agent shot and killed a man during a traffic stop on a near suburban street Friday morning.”
What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez
Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.
