this is more of an operational damper than all the unenforceable ”no mask” ordinances put together
A committee within the Minneapolis City Council has delayed the renewal of liquor licenses for two hotels in the city’s downtown area, citing concerns that agents from ICE are staying at the hotel during Trump’s ongoing immigration raids.

Anyone else in Chicago remember how in 2020 a popular photographer posted footage of a protest that was then used to incriminate someone who spent I think over a year on house arrest

The unspoken rules for protest in the US have been, for decades, that if you have a big tame sign-holding march, it's safe to bring your kids.

If you're not perceived as threatening their power, they'll leave you alone.

Which means they perceive their unpopularity as a threat to their power

Hey if you like pork but feel bad because pigs are smart you can get frozen ground wild boar from Texas at the jewels. Feral swine are an invasive species and eating them just means they don’t go to waste.

ice was in elgin today. on tuesday, ice kidnapped people from chicago’s hermosa neighborhood as well as the suburbs of bolingbrook (west) and waukegan (far north). last week, feds in six vehicles abducted an adult and three kids from near their home in woodlawn.

they never left. they never stopped.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

watching thousands of people filled with rage and sorrow waste that energy standing in the cold listening to a politician yap is frankly depressing
Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Beyond MN, people need to revitalize and repair those mutual aid networks that kept their communities alive in 2020. Fresh starts full of everything you learned.

There will come a point where this government quits & moves on or says fuck it & unleashes hell on us all. This middle will not last.

stop sharing the words of government officials. i don’t want to hear from mayors, cops, governors, congresspeople, appointees, fascists and “allies” alike. no more statements, no more press conferences, no more attention on those who are at their very best a waste of a working set of organs.

also made a lil green sauce by throwing a bunch of parsley, lemon juice, neutral oil, and salt in an immersion blender then finishing with a glug of olive oil, nice tart counterpoint that reminds me of wood sorrel
