This is insanity. How can you be sure who's randomly grabbing up people on the streets? How is this safe for anyone?
Just today, here's a story from the @chicago.suntimes.com -- not only are ICE/feds masking themselves constantly (and some local cops too, I've seen it), now they're driving around without license plates. More "laws for thee, whatever I wanna do for me" in action chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...
Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates
The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Black trauma is the US norm and after today it’s more than obvious that no one but us sees it, hears it, or cares about it or us regardless of how far and how regularly we fight against it.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.
