Hardly a day goes by now without seeing video/photos of federal agents in Chicago casually pointing actual firearms or pepper ball dispensers right at people's heads. They've already killed one person and injured another by gunfire. We are on the verge of another tragedy without real intervention.

It’s a choice to see a Nazi government as legitimate and only certain acts of that government as unlawful excesses. The 600,000+ people killed by the illegal abolition of USAID, the people starving for lack of SNAP, and the terror in Chicago - all of it flows from a singular, illegitimate project.

In the last 48hrs CBP/ICE across Chicagoland has: fired pepper balls at people on multiple occasions, tackled + arrested a nonverbal and visibly disabled man, kidnapped landscaping workers off lawns in the north shore suburbs, and pointed their firearms down a busy street for a DHS photo op

The nature of policing is to avoid accountability and responsibility. That is how it works, in the past, today, and in the future. (I’m not allowing responses because I don’t want to keep explaining. At this point if you tell me the police need to be more professional, I’ll just tap this.)

Three weeks later: nothing has changed/everything has changed
It feels a lot like living in two worlds at once and having one foot each in different realms. None of us are ever fully present anymore, because we can't be. We've had to split ourselves in half out of necessity.

Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

Steve is fine/uninjured. Some neck pain from being tackled.
His biggest concern while in custody was what was happening to people outside the facility since he couldn't hear any of the munitions from inside.
In typical Steve fashion, he also made a number of new friends while detained.

"It’s just ongoing ethnic cleansing. It’s just guys in masks moving swiftly, picking people off that they know no one will care about and no one will plan a protest for. No one will lower the flag for."
