🚨IRS, FBI, Federal Marshals, MPD, DEA, ICE, HLS, and ATF here to “investigate” this woman. Suspicious for being black? The regime has made their white supremacism clear. The time for us to reject it is NOW!

Please re-share far and wide. This is who ICE is “protecting” us from? Just try not to tear up a bit when she mentions her three year old. She is 100x braver and tougher than the ICE goons who brutalized her and wrongfully arrested her -

Oriana Korol, a clarinetist with the Unpresidented Brass Band, was arrested after a man and federal agents barreled into band members who were standing across the street from the ICE office and playing the theme from “Ghostbusters.”

Such a terrifying, vicious, clarinet-wielding, Antifa terrorist. This is who ICE is “protecting” us from?

Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.
Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country.
I'll be there. Please join in.

Just horrendous.

Jeff Yang @originalsp.in · 1d

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

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.

Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.

We can’t let this story just melt away. Who is this poor girl? Where is she? Who will hold these goons accountable for brutalizing her? She is one of many, but, this case needs to he used to make an example of ICE brutality.

Dan Mihalopoulos @dmihalopoulos.bsky.social · 2d

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 2d

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

San Diego Bikeist @sdbikeist.bsky.social · 2d

Glad to see a reporter taking this on. Do we know who the girl is? Where she is? Why was ICE after her? There must be accountability for this brutality against an unarmed child.

San Diego Bikeist @sdbikeist.bsky.social · 2d

Do we know who the girl is? Where she is? They are just disappearing human beings as they publicly brutalize them. I didn’t serve 29 years on active duty to enable this crap.

Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.

Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate little, which made him frail and with his odd diet he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Saturday, 10/11/25. I visited Paris several times in the late 90’s and found it to be one of the least bike-friendly cities in the world. Went back in 2021 and bikes had taken over. I rode EVERYWHERE. If Paris could transform, any city can.

Renee de St. Croix @reneedsc.bsky.social · 5d

“Fast forward to today, and the transformation is astonishing. Paris has quietly—and quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world” with pop-up bike-lanes during the pandemic evolving “into a permanent cycling network spanning hundreds of kilometres.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social

New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution

Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

The cruelty is the point

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 5d

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
