This is so sadistic. These people are proud of the terror they're inflicting. They're enjoying it.

"While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”"

ICE/CBP have targeted Little Village for 10+ yrs. In just the last 3 wks, they've repeatedly (3x) used chemical weapons, aimed guns, & threatened residents, most recently this past weekend.
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

Same energy.
Historical black-and-white photo depicting Adolf Hitler and about a dozen of his top Nazi aides posing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Occupied Paris, Jun 1940. The Nazis are dressed in military attire—trench coats and boots.

Shutting it down for the night with this post from a comrade in Chicago:
🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶
Yesterday we had a meeting on the block. We had to. The state of the government and its affect on the community was the topic. We discussed the best way to proceed in all of the uncertainty. The other day there was no SNAP in November. Then it was half. Then it was none again. Then it was half again. Then 65%. Then 35% in the exact same day. So you can see what I mean when I say, uncertainty. The hokey pokey of this administration had us wondering should we keep doing dinner everyday and lean in, or stop because people are getting a percentage (I think? ) of their SNAP benefits? Now, preparing meals outside on a street corner in the summer is hard. But, outdoors in a Chicago fall/ winter is brutal. We've done pop ups before in the winter but never everyday... BUT, knowing how difficult it could be and will be, every single volunteer who cooks and shows up to serve everyday STILL voted that we can't stop. The kids need us. Even with a fraction of the benefits. Even with the indecisiveness of the government. Even in the cold, wet, ick, that is sure to come. Even without funding. They all voted to still show up. And then people in the neighborhood started dropping whatever they had in their pockets on the table. Because we're all in this together. 🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

Chicagoans never stop. I was just watching a live stream of a press conference held by community members in front of FBI headquarters. In the rain in the dark. Umbrellas at hand they are calling for the release of 6 people taken by ICE, 3 also arrested by CPD. They never stop fighting.

Well that got intense - you can see CBP threatening to mace someone and also threatening to teargas them on 22nd and Sawyer.

CPD had about 40 bodies on the north end of the street guarding the feds.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

Going thru my phone, I found this reminder of the importance of sending books to people in prison. This was from a man who had been in solitary confinement for several years & received PRISON BY ANY OTHER NAME, my book with @mayaschenwar.bsky.social
Message from man in solitary confinement describing getting a book thru the cell’s meal tray slot. “Just receiving the book made the day better. It’s like someone took the time to send me a piece of the outside.”

Don't mean to brag but I just scored 9 (!!!) books for my e-reader from @haymarketbooks.org and threw in a couple extra bucks to support the cause - for a grand total of $20.
