Federal agents used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times — even after a judge said to stop.
Contrary to federal claims about attacks on agents, most of these incidents appear to involve nonviolent protesters or bystanders. blockclubchi.co/47PoaXb

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Great 🧵! Really worth thinking about.
So here are some ideas
Write down 3-5 emotions that you felt strongly during the mobilization. Which one do you think will feel most accessible and motivating when you feel despair? Overwhelm?
Where else in your life do you access that emotion?

Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend.
There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

This story is so important, but it does not explain at all why the State of Idaho would have any ability to put these children in foster care when both their mother (still alive) and father live/lived in Chicago. It seems alarming that there is no seeming relationship between this family and Idaho.
ICE killed their father. Now they’re in foster care.
Silverio Villegas, a single father, was fatally shot by fed agents after he allegedly tried to flee a traffic stop in Franklin Park.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)
