I’m writing a book about Battlestar Galactica. I wrote a book about Hollywood titled Burn It Down. I’ve been a critic & journalist for 100 years. More at links above 🌸 Abolish ICE
Seriously. literal snowflakes likely unable to function (I hope) in the kind of weather & conditions we regard as typical. Outside ICE Broadview, I always see 2 big black vehicles (⬇️ from 10/3)—crosses between a jeep & tank, and I’m like, “good luck digging that out of 16 inches of snow, assholes!”

Last Saturday we were pepper sprayed & my car was towed, but w many others, spent today at Broadview ICE. It was cold& rained. I gave others whistle kits & trail mix, others gave me gloves & a rain poncho. We shared rapid response info/tips& made connections to help this city more. Never giving up 💚

We’ll have to find a union shop to have this professionally printed I think. Could come in handy in many situations in Chicago!

Broadview ICE this morning. A circle of women went into the middle of the street to exercise their free speech rights and were all arrested & zip tied by cops. @resist_and_repeat on instagram many folks here today.

I'm good now but last wkend, lot of things emotionally hit me, incl what I've seen in our city & at Broadview ICE. Doing things w my hands helps. tonite did 2nd ICIRR training& listened to Mamdani's victory speech while putting together whistle packets. Felt purposeful, energized. We're going to win

If you call upon the best people in romancelandia, no weapon formed against you shall prosper. @mostlybree.kitrocha.com made these whistles & is sending TONS mo’ to Chicago. I just made these whistle packets to hand out at Broadview ICE & elsewhere. Teamwork really makes the Fuck ICE dream work!! 💚👊🏻

Nobody on Mamdani’s team can say it, but you know they’re all *thinking* it ⬇️

Posting this from earlier today at Broadview ICE in part bec this is pretty close to the building, boards on doors/windows & not big as you can see. & this shows 2 rows of cops peaceful protesters faced. Illinois State police in 1st section & then BP or some kind of armored up feds in rows behind.

Found Waldo. He said fuck ICE eternally and Border Patrol specifically.

my car got towed so I had to leave. I went to Maywood police station & there’s been a runaround re who they will release the car to and I can’t even pick it up until tomorrow. Plus, I’m coughing still from the gas so I think I’m just gonna pack it in for today. None of this needs to be happening.

ICE Broadview. Tense. there have been arrests & clashes. wearing a gas mask bec we just got gased a couple times. I heard there are pepper balls but I didn’t see any. I just posted an Instagram reel — Illinois State police & other cops are facing off in Beach St, www.instagram.com/reel/DQhmRip...

I know my feed has become mostly "WTF ICE/BP IN CHICAGO" -- & I do appreciate your patience with that -- and that is partly because all these violent/terrifying incidents have been JUST IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE (there's MUCH much more)

This thread is from yesterday, I went to the Little Village march (pic below) and to Broadview again today, I’ll have more on all that later 💚 now, Advil & shower 👊🏻

👊🏻 Among the contingent I hung out with today at Broadview were several older ladies & between us all we had a really exceptional store of guilt trips and verbal mind viruses that burrow deep into the brain & we used all of them

Anyway fuck ICE
October 25, 2025 at 3:00 AM
I did roast Broadview ICE feds a lot today. “Cowards,” “you’re a disappointment,” “Shame” “if you’re so proud of what you’re doing show your face” “What you’re doing is evil.” “This is wrong” “do you tell your children that you destroy families?” Every (true) guilt trip I could think of. #abolishICE
