When I'm drowning in darkness or despair, I remind myself of the following:

1) I didn't predict us getting to this, so what makes me think I can predict how this all ends

2) Chicago has stepped up to a degree and with a speed that I would have believed literally impossible

A couple in Franklin Park was taken by federal agents today when they knocked down the door of this family’s home.

DHS strategy in Chicago is changing & is definitely not over post-Bovino and CBP.

Boosting the GoFundMe again. I was able to get at least a month’s worth of zines for $800 2 weeks ago, but we are still spending on bags (1000 for $25), lanyards (1000 for $100), key rings (1000 for $25), and postage ($10-25 per package)

While reporting this, we came across this ProPublica story from 2019 about a Border Patrol Facebook group.

Hardly any differences between this and other cop pages we've reported on. It's all the same dehumanization and racism, just different targets (w/ Chicago cops—usually it's Black people).

They lie. They lie. They lie. This was obviously bullshit on day one, and they kept digging in and digging in and now they're forced to admit it was bullshit all along.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

This is a thread detailing a series of incidents where federal Judge Ellis rules that Gregory Bovino and his agents lied or misrepresented what was happening on the streets of Chicago. In this one, she says body cam footage suggests they brake checked to cause accidents

The thing is, they lie. Over and over and over again. I don't think there's been a single incident in Chicago where their initial account proved out. Reporters should simply *not* be reporting what they say as fact, ever.

The only reason Trump got away with it with the Mueller Report is that the press rushed out to publish "Mueller finds no wrongdoing!" headlines. Will they do the same thing with Epstein? (Yes, they will.)
Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after.

Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

Chicago: Did you know that police departments in the Chicago area coordinate on Slack? Now that I know it's accessible to public records requests, request away:

Their server is called CHI-INTEL and requests should be sent to the department that runs it, the Cook County Sheriff.

Send away!
It *is* possible to get cross-jurisdictional and multi-police department Slack chats out of departments via public records requests. Here's a glimpse at the Chicago-area police Slack chat with people responding with the 👀 emoji to the news that there's been an ICE-involved shooting.

Looks like @jonseidel.bsky.social has the full opinion available for those who want to look over all 233 pages of it:
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.

It's 233 pages.
