NEW — With two national economic boycotts underway, Black business owners hope shoppers shift their dollars to them.

“Just be more aware of where you’re spending your dollar because while they try to make it seem that we don’t have the power, we do.”

~1 yr ago we sent a Giving Tuesday email to our tiny mailing list shortly after starting our own publication.

In the time since, we have been overwhelmed by how many of you find our work worth supporting.

No email this time around. But if you'd like to support indie media today, here's how:

Re: the “free speech” zone and restrictions on protest only between 9am and 6pm, a lawsuit has been filed to challenge the legality of these First Amendment restrictions.
Protest hours at Broadview ICE facility too restrictive, lawyer suing village says
“The First Amendment isn’t something that has a time clock,” Robert Held argues in push to broaden 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. protest hours in western suburb.

Here in Broadview, outside Chicago, a large group of faith leaders & protesters have gathered this morning outside of ICE’s detention center.

This looks like one of the largest protests on Beach St. in weeks, where the city of Broadview is still enforcing a small “free speech” zone. It’s packed.

Upcoming Boycott!
We are joining together to boycott big corporations that are screwing over the American People with high prices, low pay, AND funding the authoritarian regime!
If you decide you are able to participate, plan ahead and think local. Give and receive mutual aid to support the boycott.

CBP/ICE was supported by the FBI this morning in Little Village, with reports of plainclothes feds seen in vehicles across the area.

This also included using Chicago FBI HQ for staging. Bovino is seen here doing rock paper scissors with another agent for the DHS cameras, as people yell insults:

If you’re in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area, we need people with their whistles on visibly out on patrol. Even if it’s just a walk on your lunch break or while you walk your dog, it matters. This is an all hands on deck day. Whatever you can do. ICE is heavily present in the area. Hope I see you.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The Trump regime is hiding massive healthcare premium hikes that will cause millions of Americans to lose coverage.

On Saturday, open enrollment begins for 2026 ACA coverage. 22 million Americans rely on tax credits that expire in December, which means over four million people could lose coverage.

One example of the price increases on the horizon. People are literally about to be priced out in the same way landlords price people out of apartments. It won’t stop here either

How many of us have already put off going to the doctor/dentist, simply because we can’t afford it? This is unacceptable
So I've been paying $1200 a month this year for an ACA plan.

2026 preview site from the regime just went up.

This is what the exact same plan will cost me per month in 2026.

I'm beside myself.

ICE is using faulty and biased face surveillance technology to go after people they suspect of being undocumented.

This is a direct threat to the fundamental rights of every individual and has no place in our cities.

Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.
