I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

Your state troopers participated in Friday's fascist photo op attack at Broadview. Get the false charges against protesters dropped immediately!
Illinois is not a photo opportunity or warzone, it’s a sovereign state where our people deserve rights, respect, and answers.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Notice that he doesn't mention the unprovoked ICE attack on protesters at Broadview—who were already complying with the commands of police—probably bc his state cops assisted in that violent attack. He prob thought he could prevent the troop deployment by helping ICE police protesters. Didn't work.
Yesterday, Kristi Noem’s and Greg Bovino’s masked agents threw chemical agents near an elementary school, arrested elected officials exercising their First Amendment rights, and raided a Wal-Mart.

ISP declares unlawful assembly again via loudspeaker now.
Unsure why since all people are doing right now is standing on the sidewalk where they've been ordered to be.
They're telling people they have to either disperse or return to designated free speech zone.

This morning at the Broadview ICE facility, Illinois state police arrested people who tried to block ICE vehicles. Under threat of being tackled or arrested, we were pushed onto the sidewalks—yet ICE....

You can see how their cameramen document their violence. This is about content creation. For the last one, I had to search my files for a photo of this moment that didn't include the face of a pained or screaming protester, but for clarity: those are tackled human beings on the ground.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

In the last two weeks these feds have choked & beaten protesters, broken bones, given people concussions from munitions, pointed their sidearms at people, tear gassed a neighborhood, shot reporters in the face, destroyed neighbors' property, threatened elected officials
No National Guard necessary

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit
