Does anyone in #Chicago or the environs thereof want a large supply of scrap #denim or other #fabric for #sewing or other crafting purposes? I have plenty of scrap jeans and other damaged clothes that I could dump in a recycling bin. But reuse is better than recycling, so if anyone nearby needs textiles I could just give some away instead. Boosts appreciated. It's a long shot, but I'm searching for the secret Chi-town sewing punks.

Since Renee Good's killing DHS has pledged to send an additional 500 ICE/CBP/DHS cops to Minnesota and likely the majority ending up in Minneapolis to re-enforce the already 2000 strong DHS fighting force. This all despite multiple requests from the Mayor and Governeor Tim Walz for DHS to withdraw it's occupying force immediately. There is a silver lining tho, this is requiring DHS to pull cops for other cities, https://www.ms.now/news/trump-administration-pushes-self-defense-narrative-in-ice-killing #MPLS #JacobFrey #DHS #ICE #Chicago #FuckICE

Walz readies National Guard, DHS sends in more officers as tensions mount in Minneapolis

The state-vs.-feds standoff over an ICE killing deepened, though protests have remained peaceful.

Mold in Chicago-area schools is a growing problem as climate change intensifies summer storms

Because school buildings operate differently in the summer, they are at particular risk of developing mold. The people they serve are also especially vulnerable.

Back to the lawsuits, the State of Illinois also announced they will be suing DHS over CBP+ICE conduct in Illinois & especially Chicago. Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias is zeroing in on ICE breaking state laws, like plate swapping They launched a hotline to report ICE swapping car license plates. You see ICE using stolen plates? Call or email the state of Illinois today! https://www.ilsos.gov/news/2026/january-12-2026-giannoulias-joins-illinois-attorney-general-and-chicago-in-a-lawsuit-against-the-us-department-of-homeland-security-for-swapping-or-altering-license-plates.html #CourtWatch #Illinois #chicago #chicagoICE #FuckICE #AlexiGiannoulias

The full text of Illinois' lawsuit against DHS can be found below 👇🏿 Much like other state's suits Illinois' Attorney General Kwame Raoul laz delivered a case detailing sprawling abuses of state sovereignty and operating without regard to the fundamental rights promised in the constitution. There's even a section titled: "Boarder Patrol's Occupation of Chicago" https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:va6c2:17bce349-bea7-4b29-b0de-cf1e2e6dc3e5?viewer%21megaVerb=group-discover #CourtWatch #IlinoisICE #chicago #ChicagoICE #FuckICE #CBP #DHS #KwameRaoul

Fuck. Thought I was done with the Illinois thread but I forgot, one other extremely important set of interaction to surface and that is the fact that ICE already shot two Chicagians. Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez was murdered by ICE after dropping his son off at school back in September. ICE also attempted to murder Marimar Martinez, a US citizen who was shot 5 times but survived. The feds sued Martinez for assault but the case got dropped once video came out. #SilverioVillegasGonzalez #Chicago

Hey #Chicago #Illinois! Apparently the AI generated search results for #NoKings are saying to go to Grant Park. There's no rally there this time. Instead, there are pro-voting events all over the city. Most cities aren't doing big marches this year because the point is to get people to the polls. indivisiblechicago.com or nokings.org will have the actual events.
