If you’re feeling helpless like me and not sure how to help outside of protesting and donating, there’s a No Kings ICE training tomorrow night. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
I don’t know whether to cry, scream or throw up. What. The. Fuck. Is. Happening? Abolish ICE and prosecute every single one of these motherfuckers.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Good riddance.
Federal immigration agents part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” may soon leave Chicago, according to multiple sources who said the controversial mission was rapidly winding down after a contentious two months of enforcement raids that have set the city and suburbs on edge.
To all of us feeling exhausted and overwhelmed - our neighbors are worth fighting for ✊
My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

The government’s social media storytelling doesn’t always match what’s happening in the across the city and suburbs. The diverging sources of information are creating “parallel universes,” professor Nick Cull says.

As many eyes will be on court downtown today, there are early indications ICE may be active in this area again. Agents reportedly snatched a daycare worker in Roscoe Village this morning.
ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier). People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.

Please note this is also in addition to ongoing kidnappings across the suburbs, with sightings reported in more of them than we can even list at the moment. This is daily life now, and there's no one central place reporting them all.

Commentary: Just six months ago, my daughter would beg me for cotton candy from one of the after-school vendors, and we’d stay on the playground a little longer before heading home. Now, the vendors are gone, the playground is closed and the small routines have quietly disappeared because of fear.

Crowdsourced map of ICE Activity now has a local alert system: iceout.org 24-hour live ICE activity map now gives local alerts. This can be particularly helpful for individuals at risk and also for allies attempting to intervene. You can select your own alert radius.

Off the top of my head, in the past few weeks ICE/CBP has: - handcuffed/detained an alderwoman - pointed a gun at a state rep - threatened another alderwoman w/ arrest for watching them - abducted an alder's chief of staff & elected district councilor
FULL STORY: “These federal agents are operating lawlessly, demonstrating utter disregard for our constitutional rights,” Ald. Mike Rodriguez said. @wttw.bsky.social

The feds driving around and terrorizing our neighborhoods like they're playing Grand Theft Auto is now a daily/regular occurrence and I keep wondering how we're supposed to live like this
