Understand that if ICE/Border Patrol ran the same playbook it’s running in Minneapolis to Philadelphia/Milwaukee/Atlanta/Detroit during Election Day, it would absolutely depress turnout enough in those cities to change the outcome of an entire Presidential election. Don’t say it can’t happen, they’re probably already planning it.
FYI, a masked, anonymous, armed paramilitary force denying due process and breaking into people’s homes to arrest and detain people in camps is exactly what fascism looks like.
Do not look away. You are living through history
Conservatives have unleashed thousands of masked militiamen across America, arresting, assaulting, even killing innocent people
This is one of our country's most shameful chapters
This is the teen that ICE beat up and detained from Target until they realized he really was a US citizen and threw him out the car in the Walmart parking lot. Fuck ICE!
“One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” -Omar El Akkad

Years of SNAP funding exist RIGHT NOW, paid for by our taxes.
Federal language protected SNAP even during shutdowns – Trump's admin DELETED it to hide the fact they're using hunger as a political weapon by choice.
Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.
In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.
A massive percentage came from foreigners.
It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.
But few even care.

Drones flying around Chicago suburban houses and apartments to peer through their windows in search of Latino people to target for assault and arrest by federal agents is not a world we should accept. And Chicagoans are not accepting it. This is an anti-fascist city.
