For a recap of what we were seeing inside the court before protesters showed up—families torn apart and judges dismissing cases to expedite arrests—peep this dispatch from @peoplesfabric.com:

We've heard a lot of gossip about residents + tenants complaining to management—not about protesters, but about the ICE activity that brought them.
If it's true the feds have been cut off, that means Chicagoans have shut off a pipeline that was easily providing a dozen or more detainees a day.

According to a screengrab of an email floating around, building management told ICE last week they could no longer use the delivery dock and freight elevators for staging and moving detainees.
Whatever the reason agents haven't returned, we've now seen over a week go by without kidnappings here.

I'm also talking about super basic civil servants here, like the city council and school board. The stuff nobody cares about because it isn't sexy. But those are the offices where shit gets done and you can push people if you show up

Yeah, mutual aid, dual power, okay, okay, cool
Also, I would like to push overt fascists out of power whenever possible as long as the system exists as it does and I'm stuck within it

I knew it was a wonderful little marvel of cartooning but I didn't realize just how much that was true!

See, I'm hoping for something like that. Because I'm entirely too invested in Lofi Girl/Synthwave Boy, lmao

My belief in local politics being the key to changing our material conditions stems from being a hater and having the ability to fuck up the day of someone you hate who lives in your area, and y'all did that in NYC. That's beautiful

I was busy feeling secure in my mature decisions not to buy a doll I couldn't afford, this is cruel and unusual!
