Please note: as of 11:30AM today, agents have restrictions on chemical weapons / "less lethal" munitions they are *supposed* to follow (🫠). This isn't limited to preplanned protests, it also applies to neighbors and rapid responders. If you see pepper balls fired...note it
STOP IT... WAS HE THERE??
..what given area they'll show up in every day.
Also, she *specifically* told people to go inside. She's an elected official, and is a lot harder to arrest and prosecute in secret than the usual resident. She purposely was being the shield for her constituents.
Senator Villa is a fucking BADASS!
Chicagoland is a BIG area, and there are a LOT of troops here. Believe me, we're organized and mobilized. But unless people are following their cars from Broadview (where the Detention Facility is) - which likely would get them arrested. There's no way to know...

An ICE agent unholstered his gun at a protest this morning.
Please don't let yourself become numb to this.
Photo of 2024 Crash Course Coin enclosed in its plastic case. laying on top of the new Crash Course Coin bank. Bank has the Crash Course logo of an opening door in a field, and reads "Knowledge weighs nothing... carry all you can".
@hankgreen.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social HOW do you suggest I get the coins out of the case, to be able to put it in my fancy new bank??
(I realized this year's has a little divit to get into. Got that one fine. But I. CANT. GET. THE. REST. OUT! 🫠)
A Supreme Court that agrees with 19% of the population, great.
As the far-Right and Trump ramps up talk about "left-wing violence," here is our roundup of far-Right, neo-Nazi, and pro-Trump mass shootings and attacks that have led to the deaths of over 10 people and multiple injures across several states - just in 2025.
praise for Kirk from liberal pundits is one of the clearest distillations of how ill-equipped they are for this fascist moment, & how devoted they are to a West Wing fantasy of a respectable right/conservative movement that does not exist, and which - like Kirk - almost never operates in good faith
Love seeing Brotherhood 2.0 Resident Mathematician @danielbiss.bsky.social out doing the work needed in the community!!

Car window sticker with a picture of the top half of a cats head, like it's looking over the edge of something. Which reads "Tell your cat I say pspapsps"
@weratedogs.com Not sure if you've seen this spin off of your bumper sticker, but I literally just saw it in front of me!
This is Seiko. He was just adopted. Now that he finally has a human of his very own, he's never letting go. 14/10 (TT: seikotherescue)
As disgusting as this quote is... I also never really understood it?
Whose job is he claiming Michelle Obama, took? She (graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law) *literally* gave up her jobs when Barack announced his candidacy.
Often thinking about when I was a very pregnant teacher and my high school sophomores told me if we ever go into lockdown, I should move to the safest corner of the room right away and they would move the bookcase to barricade the door on their own. "You have the baby," they (babies) said.
More performers, do this PLEASE!
I thought it was just me!! 🥴
I love how she thinks she can attack Trans people, but still have wide support of cis-gendered gays on her side.
Lady, they call us the Alphabet ARMY for a reason.
A genuinely terrible text from the Democrats: Democrats aren't perfect, but electing them is the only path to stopping Trump, and Congress Majority PAC's ads will be a powerful force to regain majorities in both House and Senate. Voters need new messaging, and we deliver that. Our ads stand alone: every ad attacks Trump and Republicans as a group, and all end, Vote Democrat. We call Trump extremist, reckless, and dangerous to our Democracy. We point to Democrats' excellent track record on the economy, on climate change, gun safety, and abortion.
"We're bad at this, but we're all you've got. There is no alternative. But we heard your message that our ads our bad. Give us money to make better ads in which we will promise things we will not do. I mean, we could do them. They sound good. But we won't. Just give us ad money."

Wanted to make a playlist to play if /when ICE in Chicago pulls me over because of the Mexican Flag magnet on my bumper. All I could think of was "Springtime for Hitler and Germany", and was tapped...
But I just raided @theradr.bsky.social's thread and compiled all the ideas for you!

I can't believe no one has said to add "Springtime for Hitler and Germany" to the playlist!!
Anyone know where this is? I know they were spotted just east of Midway this morning.
Do you just happen to be in these perfect spots, to get the perfect shot? Or do you drive furiously to find the right angle?
Either way.. 🙌🙌
I've been wondering about this.. are city/ state govts "allowed" to fight back? Or are they outranked by federal agents, and at best can only ignore them? Is it considered treason if they fight back?
Once Donald Trump gets the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law – what comes next?
This was from 3 months ago. It did happen, but it's important that people have correct references for when, where, and why. And not just to be inflammatory.
In this age of misinformation, please make sure you're sharing correct info!
I'm assuming city and state police have been advised to mostly ignore them?
But if it is allowed to defy the fed agents, what is the advantage of not doing that? Fear of escalation?
Basically:Why couldn't/ wouldn't Johnson & Pritzker use any tool at their advantage to stop it?

I was wondering a lot about this:
Are city/ states "allowed" to attempt thwart the agents? Or are they outranked by the *federal* agents?
Ex: If ICE doesn't follow BJ's EO (not wearing masks, wearing body cams, clearly showing identification) is CPD "allowed" to stop them?
