They damn well better

Free Estefany Rodriguez.

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

Hey amid all the hell, I added some new TRYING beanies to my shop. Now in addition to the original olive/orange there is maroon/orange and a limited edition safety green/blue. Get yours. shop.dansinker.com/collections/...

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Cop: protester ratio here is about 5:1 (some bike squads out of frame). All activists have been doing is chanting and drumming.

Outside the Israeli consulate in downtown Chicago this afternoon, security guards are maneuvering some barricades around a small group of anti-war protesters to box them in and away from commuters going into Ogilvie.

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

Weirdest thing about his first name being two names smashed together is that he doesn't actually have a middle name.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

The IDF just ordered the forced evacuation of *all of Dahieh* a day after ordering the forced evacuation of all of South Lebanon.

Israel is taking advantage of the focus on Iran to destroy Lebanon

The Science of Unlearning And Why Organizers Need It “Nobody had a story about unlearning that didn’t include a connection with other people,” says Lewis Raven Wallace.

Too often, activists are more focused on sorting people into categories of good and bad than on how people actually change their minds, beliefs, politics, and actions. Personally, I think this comes from a defeatist mindset. But people can and do change. So, how does that happen? Audio + transcript:

The Science of Unlearning And Why Organizers Need It “Nobody had a story about unlearning that didn’t include a connection with other people,” says Lewis Raven Wallace.

I talked with @lewispants.bsky.social about the art and science of transformation, how people *really* let go of harmful beliefs, and how we can cultivate the conditions that make unlearning possible.

Chicago

When I say "inconvenience," two weeks before this, Silverio Villegas González was killed & we've seen countless horrors since then.

I don't mean to minimize how egregious of an overreach this is for the regime to target people & their families in this way, just putting it in some perspective.

Feels like the natural endpoint of our society tbh. Was always going to go this way

📸 Me, I will continue to have a terminal case never shutting up about the place I've lived just shy of 15 years now. Oh and photographing it. I'll never stop photographing it. #Chicago #photography

This Is Not a Regime Change War. Iran Is Being Pushed Toward State Collapse. The US and Israel have killed Ayatollah Khamenei, but they seem to have no plan for what comes next.

"War doesn't operate with surgical precision. It doesn't remove one figure & install another. It shifts power to those most capable of wielding force. It weakens civil society faster than it builds alternatives. It deepens grievances that last generations"

A couple weeks later we found out they flagged my wife. She wasn't in Broadview, has never had an "encounter" with CBP/ICE, and she never received a letter or email about it.

She only found out when she flew next and TSA told her that her TSA Pre & Global Entry were no longer valid.

Dear STEPHEN HELD: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) previously found you eligible for the TSA PreCheck™ Application program on 12/21/2020. As an individual previously found eligible for the TSA PreCheck™ Application Program, you are subject to recurrent checks against various databases, including law enforcement, immigration, regulatory violation, and intelligence databases for continued eligibility. TSA has made a preliminary determination that you may no longer be eligible to participate in the TSA PreCheck™ Application Program because you committed certain violations of security related regulations, described below in greater detail. As a result, TSA has preliminarily revoked your eligibility for the program. RESULTS OF TSA'S ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION: Pursuant to TSA PreCheck™ eligibility requirements, applicants may be ineligible to participate due to disqualifying criminal offenses and other factors, which includes determinations that an applicant does not pose a sufficiently low risk to transportation security. TSA considers your conduct on or about September 27, 2025, in Terrace, Illinois, involving Assault on Certain Officers or Employees under U.S. Code 18 USC 111, to be inconsistent with expedited screening eligibility, which is reserved for persons known to pose a low risk to transportation security. This determination is distinct from any criminal or civil enforcement proceedings which may be brought against you in conjunction with this incident. You have not yet been disqualified from participation in the TSA PreCheck ™ Application Program. This letter is an ineligibility determination that notifies you of the preliminary decision made by TSA. You may inform TSA in writing of your intent to correct any information you believe is inaccurate. TSA must receive your request to correct any information you believe to be inaccurate within 60 calendar days of the date of this letter. If you wish to correct this information, you must provide any…

Shortly after the TSA letter, I received an email that my Global Entry was also revoked.

Keep in mind, I was arrested for no reason. No charges were filed.

TSA's letter incorrectly claims that I was involved in an "assault," in a nonexistent place called "Terrace, Illinois."

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

from the oig press release 👀:

Preheating my Soldier Field

chicago rapid responders report ice abducted two people from the parking lot of the home depot at kimball/addison about 10:15 a.m. this morning. witnesses say feds were driving three suvs.

rapid responders in wheeling, illinois, also confirm ice abducted someone in the area shortly after 9 a.m.

We have lost all sense of proportion. Every one of those lives deserved to live. It is shocking to me how the idea of killing and the tallying of Trump’s kills has vanished into the fog of confusion that Trump seems to send out. We don’t seem to be able to record, number, and grieve this massacre.
