Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

POWERFUL: With snow falling in freezing weather in Chicago last night, the massive anti-ICE/Border Patrol rally wrapped up in front of City Hall as the energized crowd chanted, "I believe that we will win!"

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

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.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

This is so powerful and my heart breaks for these women. Release the fucking files already.

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.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

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.

Despite pleas from Gov. JB Pritzker to pause federal immigration enforcement operations while children celebrate Halloween, teams of Border Patrol agents tore through Chicago’s Northwest Side and nearby suburbs Friday, sparking violent clashes with community members throughout the day.

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.

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
