Yes, it is very bad, and I'm sorry that it is this way. But our job is to do what we can to make it better. Same as we would have if things were different

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order limits how and when feds can use gas in the Chicago area.

It restricts the use of gas in "residential or commercial areas" that could risk injury to a plaintiff class member "who is not causing an immediate threat of physical harm to another person"

Y'all, I have never seen ICE reporting this active, but I worry that it won't get media play bc of whose neighborhood they're in.

For those of you not from 'round here, they are avoiding the wealthy(er) and white(r) Northside (that single red up top) and carpeting poorer, browner areas.

I was just right by here. There need to be prosecutions and it needs to involve real punishment.

The candy is a hit, but the anti-ICE zines are getting a stronger positive response from the trick or treaters.

GodDAMNit. ICE is back around my kids school again.

For the record, I - a white lady with white kids - do NOT feel safer with ICE kidnapping our neighbors.

ICE needs to get out of Chicago and give us back our people. The rest of what i'd like ICE to do is unpostable

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Don't say the second when you mean the first.

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

A very 2025 Chicago problem: do I offer support to my friends who has ICE in their neighborhood or freak all the way out that ICE is active right by my kids's school atm?

significant ICE presence in andersonville now. right by the bookstore women and children first, people are saying they saw agents in the alleys on that block. a friend working in the area said they’re hearing whistles from inside constantly. if you are in the area, good place to mobilize ASAP.
