I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

The shipping company Maersk (mare-sk? mar-sk?) controls 20% of the worlds shipping and the **majority** of the military goods sent to Israel 😧 Notes from the Palestinian Youth Movement teach in about their campaign for a peoples' embargo on Maersk ‼️‼️

Mask Off Maersk notes from march 18th: doodles surrounding the following info. building a people's embargo. All weapons manufacturing passes thru logistics. Maersk controls 20% of the worlds shipping. Going to the top 4 arms manufacturers. Arteries of War. Logistics is fast shipping, we experience it as consumers in the global north, its the infrastructure of capitalism. Origins in military strategy. 68% of israels military goods are shipped from the US. Why target maersk? vs. arms manufacturing? arms supply chain is decentralized. Weapons only small portion of maerks profit margin. Maersk is involved in every stage of weapons

when the baltimore bridge collapsed, it was a maersk ship! sending toxic waste to sri lanka :( now the water around the crash is toxic. In history maersk shipped to 1) nazi germany 2) US in vietnam war 3) apartheid south africa "3 for 3 wrong side of history" CAMPAIGN FRONTS are multi pronged and multi regional! narrative & media, city & campus, mobilization, and labor. LABOR- to target people running the company, not people working for the company. In Chicago... we're a major logistics hub. 29% of all freight passes through chicago! So many train to truck facilities. Maersk is rapidly expanding train, ship, and air shipping in chicago.

Messy notes from a Migra Watch training last night! Led by Ellen + Anooshka from Asian Americans Advancing Justice Chicago with content from OCAD!

Handwritten notes describing Migra Watch tips including the point is to document support and deescalate, don't spread panic, how Migra watch is rooted in Black Panthers cop watch, and how in IL police don't have the ability to share info with ICE or work with them

Handwriting notes that are smeared showing that ICE agents love to use unmarked vans, like the move in groups, when recording you should stay a grabbable distance away, and to film the officer not the person being detained. Also the family support hotline in IL is 855-435-7693

TY Southside Together for sounding the alarm on the Quantum facility in the works in South Shore. Major alert for Southside residents but also everyone who cares about toxins in the lake and the militarization of Chicago 😭

Flyer from Southside Together about the Illinois Quantum Microelectronics park with sections called What is it and Who is Behind it. TLDR: it's a 9 billion dollar, 128 acre development planned for the contaminated South Works site in South shore. The governor, mayor, silicon valley psiQuantun, department of defense, and Chicago quantum exchange and more are behind it.

Why should we care? Sections labeled Environmental Justice, Surveillance and Policing, It's Not for Us, and No Transparency, No Accountability. There's info from Southside Together at bit.ly/stopquantum and they are on Instagram at @southsidetogether
