Happy May Day from Chicago. There's a lot of events planned around the city today; right now interfaith leaders are gathering with activists outside 1 S. Dearborn Street, the Chicago HQ of Highlands REIT, a real estate investment firm planning to lease a vacant jail in Colorado to ICE.

The "No Kings" march in Chicago was very much a festival, but protestors today outside the ICE processing facility in Broadview, IL were subject to arrest and hospitalization. A rep with the People's Law Office in Chicago has confirmed 8 arrests today with 7 people still in custody as of 7 pm.

Hi Dave,
Yes, there have been 8 arrests at Broadview, one of whom was taken to the hospital, cited, and released. So far as we know, 7 people remain in custody as of 7 pm.

Protestors lead the march with two banners: one reads "No Trump, No Troops" and the other reads "Close the Broadview Ice Detention Center! Legalization for all! CAARPR's Immigrant Rights Working Committee" and has an image of a monarch butterfly

Image that shows two political cartoons to the right of text. Text reads. Not alot has
changed. The billionaire class hoards wealth and power. We can't afford to wait any longer. Our labor is our greatest STRENGTH and if we strike together we can make real change. A QR code between the lines of text leads to: https://linktr.ee/generalstrikeus
The images are similar with one being labeled “1913” featuring a large leg and boot labeled as “organized labor” moving towards a sign labeled “progress” while being held back by a monopoly man-type person labeled “shortsighted employer. The man is yelling “stop!” The image below is set up the same with minor differences. The man holding back the progress of organized labor is labeled “shortsighted loser.” Text in between the images reads: get organized.

A tiny group of protesters gathered this evening in Chicago to stand in solidarity with DC after Trump called out the National Guard to “get rid of the slums” there.

Protesters walk along Michigan Avenue with a banner reading “we stand with DC.”

200 days into Trump's term, where are we? In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is, for now, being fatally undermined by the capitulation of the elites.
