Our winters suck, but they do put a lid on nasty insects, dangerous reptiles, and Border Patrol.
Chicago may experience less tear gas use as Operation Midway Blitz winds down. Cold and wet weather reduce effectiveness, while wind adds unpredictability.
Wind, cold temps can change the impact of tear gas and pepper balls, experts say

Refusing to fund SNAP is ableism.
Cutting Medicaid is ableism.
Terminating ACA subsidies is ableism.
Slashing affordable housing is ableism.
This regime has a very clear eugenics agenda.
They’re targeting services they know disabled people rely on to survive.
We are not expendable.

please remove your listening device from my therapists office.
Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning.
And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

Other attorneys who spoke at the presser wished to remind the public that they can visit tinyurl.com/chicagotro to report when federal immigration agents in Chicagoland potentially violate District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order against abuse of press, protestors and religious practitioners.
Rev. Abby Holcombe of the River Forest Methodist Church, another plaintiff shot with pepper balls: "I have one more message for Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, the ICE agents who shot at me and all other ICE agents and president Trump: God is always on the side of the oppressed. So which side are you on?"

We’re in a strange limbo where secret police are routinely beating, disappearing, and shooting everyday people in public, but they’ve not yet consolidated enough power to stop us from talking about it on social media. That imbalance prob can’t last. Either we roll them back or this gets rolled up .

What’s happening with the systematic layoffs of Black women at these corporations is a travesty. These racist corporate bosses have no integrity—and what’s crazy is that their brands will suffer.

Some context to the viral videos:
Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units.
They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.
