Every single dollar they're using for ICE or war is a dollar they're not spending on our healthcare, our crumbling roads and bridges, or our schools.

Weβre not fighting for ourselves.
Weβre fighting for each other.
Happy International Womenβs Day.

I documented two arrests made today at Broadview. This is what they had in common.
Officer Walker, always between us and his CO. Now that you mention it, after this happened, he clicked a button on his body cam and waved his hand in front of it, as if it wasn't on before? Anyway, here's THE BROADVIEW CHIEF OF POLICE DRAGGING SOMEONE BY THE LEG.
Here's Mills, "Police ICE" dude with absolutely no identifiers or moral compass, and Officer Walker, who's crotch you'll see in image #3, forcing me to dodge around his legs on the ground in order to continue recording.
(unblurred images of organizers will not be published without express consent)
Broadview CP, Thomas Mills, dragged an individual by the foot, across concrete, away from two other officers. Sheriff's police held fellow organizers back from intervening, though one of the Sheriff's officers had initially assisted a Broadview officer in pulling said individual to the ground.
Just two days following the announcement of Noem's termination, and the day before a press conference intent on getting answers for the ICE facility's illegal detainment, transfer, & eventual release of 6 individuals (3 US citizens & 3 PRs), Broadview's officers doubled down on police brutality.
This is our closing message. We want to make sure everyone sees it.
Help us do that (and drown out AIPAC) by chipping in any amount here: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...
We donβt need talkers right now. We need fighters.
And no matter how many times they knock me down, Iβll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
I just left a concert fundraising for the National Immigrant Justice Center to head to Broadview.
Hereβs why:
We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqviβs family believes her to be held after being detained in OβHare by federal authorities.
"...in what could be the first-ever federal terrorism case associated with 'antifa'"
....& they're coming for the zines...& the book clubs... as part of the investigation?! cool cool cool no doubt no doubt
Happy worm moon to all, and to all a good night.
Seems good
