Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

ICE Pulls Gun on Illinois Congressional Candidate & State Rep. Hoan Huynh Huynh, a refugee from Vietnam, was alerting the community to ICE presence when ICE blocked the front and back of his vehicle on a residential street CHICAGO - Illinois Congressional Candidate for the 9th District and current State Representative Hoan Huynh (D-Chicago) was surrounded by six Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents today, including one who pulled a gun on him, while he sat inside his vehicle on the Northwest Side of Chicago doing community ICE patrol. Local ICE rapid response networks have activated in many immigrant neighborhoods across the city following the illegal and aggressive detainment of residents without due process. At about 11:30 a.m. today, Representative Huynh was going door-to-door informing local businesses of their rights it ICE comes to their property when he received notice of nearby IcE presence. He and staff then drove to Montrose & Kimball avenues in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, the location of the reported sighting, to warn neighbors by honking and yelling, as has been protocol for rapid response. This is when six armed CBP agents blocked the front and back of the vehicle, sandwiching it on the street, and approached the car with a gun drawn, which the officer pressed against the window of the car and tried to bash the car windows in. Following guidance from the ICE rapid response network, Representative Huynh and his staff began filming and narrating what was happening, and Huynh kept his hands visible and clearly and repeatedly stated his name and office. The staff member narrating can be heard saying that ICE was trying to break into the car, and agents can be seen taking photos of everyone inside.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

One thing to bear in mind here is that the union that represents the wide majority of Chicago police earlier this year dedicated the cover and a good chunk of the inside of its magazine for members to praising Tom Homan and ICE.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

at least 9 agents with ice’s special response team dragged and pushed protesters out of the way of the building’s driveway so a black passenger van could leave the broadview facility.

agents grabbed a protester and have detained them inside the facility. the crowd is chanting, “let them go!”
a team of nine agents in camouflage walks out of the broadview ice facility and physically pushes protesters, who are sitting on the street in front of the driveway, away from the entrance. a masked, camouflaged ice agent drags a protester across the ground.
