Busy day for ICE across Chicagoland. Reports of encounters with agents across the heavily Latine Chicago neighborhoods of Hermosa and Austin, and in the suburbs of Wheeling and Naperville. Rapid responders report at least 5 people detained this morning in Naperville; 1 person detained in Austin.

In a response to the long-debunked "retail theft epidemic," the House voted 348 to 60 for a bill that would exacerbate mass incarceration by sweeping more low-level crime into the federal system and exacerbate the criminalization of poverty. TY to the 59 Democrats who voted NO (see below).

Generations of doctors and medical researchers have studied childhood vaccines. Now an ex-heroin-addicted nepo baby whose brain was partially eaten by a worm is conducting a study of his own. When his work is done, America will have the full picture on vaccines.

"But we do need the core aspect of them that makes Klein so uncomfortable: Russell’s expectation that those who relate to others as though they are not worthy of respect ought to be treated with the regard that orientation deserves." Bring shame back into the discussion. This was an excellent read!

Why the fuck are we allowing this? I mean truly, this is unhinged and dangerous. Get the kids far away from this monster and invoke the 25th amendment. Congress is full of pathetic cowards.

Trump to a group of kids: "We can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You might be too young for this. They probably know better than most people. But you can't let a bunch of lunatics have a nuclear weapon. So we just hit records on the Dow."

I would say he said the quiet part out loud, but at this point there are no repercussions for blatantly diminishing voting rights.

Rep. Buddy Carter calls for Georgia officials to toss out already cast votes: "We need to suspend the House races and go ahead and redistrict so that Georgians would be represented in the next two years by people who represent their values. Georgia is a Republican state. We need to remember that."

Some states have been waiting since the Voting Rights Act passed Congress in 1965 to able to demolish it. There have been all kinds of warnings in the Black community and amongst real allies for 40 years, since the Reagan era. Now here we are. The judges Bush 43 put on the court made it a reality.

I do not remember the last time I laughed this hard, considering the hellscape we live in currently. Weighing your own shit, eating meat 3 meals a day for 3 weeks, loading up on cholesterol 48 hours before sex. It has it all!

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

JD Vance: "You know what? My wife has the right to skydive, but she doesn't jump out of an airplane because she and I have an agreement she's not gonna do that, because I don't want my wife jumping out of an airplane."

This. We are a country of "rugged individualism," ie, if it doesn't happen to me it doesn't exist/matter. Trying very hard not to fall into a pit of despair because we need all the people who are horrified to keep fighting.

If you could convince Americans that destroying Iranian civilization & killing millions of innocent Iranians *wouldn't* have any blowback, wouldn't affect their lives directly ... how many do you think would really protest? How many would even vote against it? How many would care?

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Hey-o. Dick Durbin just walked out on me at a vigil for a disappeared man who is also a caregiver for his 2 younger siblings (petition for release here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/br...) abdicating himself of any responsibility around ICE. We deserve better. VOTE STRATTON TO ABOLISH ICE!

Whoa whoa whoa...you mean they lied about Tren de Aragua just so they could justify terrorizing Black and Brown people?

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: The DHS arrest records make no mention of the Tren de Aragua gang even though officials repeatedly cited its presence in the building as motivation for the raid, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter and zip-tied U.S. citizens.

The U.S. Constitution is a nonstarter, apparently.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

That member of Congress who handed over with the promise of anonymity can grow a damn spine. Cowards.

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Schools are closed because the government is terrorizing the community. We cannot minimize this.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

Gavin Newsom has terrible political instincts. Cozying up to racists like Charlie Kirk. Attacking trans kids. Defending billionaires. When left to his own devices he always picks the wrong path.

We still do not know the names of the ICE agents who killed Silverio Villegas González on September 12, 2025 outside of Chicago. If you have any information, please reach out on Signal at @tpf.99.

unraveled@unraveledpress.com

Traffic is flowing again, large number of people have dispersed. A small crowd is lingering at the site of the shooting. Media doing interviews. A sign for Silverio Villegas González, shot and killed by ICE behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September, sits in the snow and flowers.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

They aren't welcome here either.

Molly Coleman@mollycoleman.bsky.social

ICE isn’t welcome here. ICE shouldn’t exist. Every elected official must be clear-eyed about the fact that ICE is a threat to our entire country and must be abolished. As we in the Twin Cities know too well, our taxes are going to fund an entity that is attacking our neighbors; this has to end.

One, subscribe. Two, if you live where ICE is present demand action from your elected officials. Ban their staging on government property and any data sharing, require that local PD be present at all reported sightings, push your state lawmakers to ban their face masking and provide ID.

The TRiiBE@thetriibe.com

NEW — Keep in mind, details are still unfolding in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent shot and killed a woman who witnesses say was a legal observer. Dozens of protestors are gathering at the scene. thetriibe.com/2026/01/live...
