All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

ICE gassed members of the Chicago Police Department sent to protect them from protesters
Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed.
Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."

The assault is horrifying on its own, but then there's the other agent shouting "...or else you're next" while another fixes their face shroud.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

They’ve roughed up and arrested people for trying to get in ICE’s way. That’s more than complicity. The state of IL is not resisting, it is culpable.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside Chicago—
Federal agents have kidnapped hundreds of immigrants in recent weeks.
Outside the ICE processing center here, protesters are gathered for another Friday morning demo. Last week's ended in tear gas and arrests.
ICE vans periodically rolling in.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."
Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'
The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

They can call it whatever they want, but by setting up a "Unified Command" to handle crowd control at Broadview, the Cook County Sheriffs and the Illinois State Police are performing security work for ICE—something that is not supposed to happen in this state.

After the Civil Rights era, racism became legally defined by explicit intent, allowing systemic violence to hide behind insurance “risk” assessments. This piece argues that Ansfield’s "Born in Flames" exposes this racial capitalism.

not that anyone cares but all I meant w/ this was like yeah ofc these moves represent a crude effort at capital accumulation & broader attempt to cement radical right wing ideology as normative, but it matters for our organizing that this sentiment is not straightforwardly "mass"
maybe I'm stupid and naive but I feel like the desperate media moves to the right (the bari weiss / cbs stuff and the kimmel stuff) are not actually reading the tea leaves right. I think a broad swathe of the American normie public yearns for woke

This is essentially the same thing that happened during the Red Scare in the ‘50s. How long before teachers are required to sign loyalty oaths? How many more people’s lives have to be destroyed before we’re tired of “rooting out” undesirables?
INBOX- State Superintendent Ryan Walters says after investigating reports that came in through Awareity, they've identified 70 certified teachers from 44 districts who've made statements regarding Charlie Kirk's murder and 12 school districts who did not participate in a moment of silence. #oklahoma
