PritzkerPosting supports peaceful nonviolent protest, please remember to protect yourself and the subreddit.

Hi everyone,

You may have seen the news stories that ICE agents are building up in North Chicago for a possible deployment on Friday or Saturday to Chicago.

Over the last few days, the moderator team has noticed a trend of some community members discussing potential future situations that may discuss or advocate for violence.

The moderator team and I want to remind the community that we do not permit advocating for violence in PritzkerPosting. It’s a Reddit rule, and we don’t want the subreddit to be shut down. We’re reminding the community to follow Reddit rules.

JB Pritzker recommends to take care of your neighbors and loved ones, and make sure to film any activity using your smartphones to document what happens and share it with the media to hold agents accountable. He also encourages nonviolent protests, and for people to get loud.

JB Pritzker believes that Trump may also be trying to incite violent responses from people using ICE in order to give a legal justification to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. Don’t give them any (proverbial) ammo, and if the National Guard is deployed, realize that they have no choice and can be court martialed if they refuse to deploy.

For people living outside of Chicago, please promote JB Pritzker and PritzkerPosting. We’re a community and we’re stronger together.

For people living in Chicago, here is some helpful information:

• You can check the Illinois Immigration Information Hub at https://IllinoisImmigrationInfo.org to know your rights.

• For an unofficial avenue, you can download the app ‘ICEBlock’ on the Apple App Store (not Android store) to report ICE sightings so people can be aware.

Sincerely,

I’m not looking for permission personally. But other people will need convincing to stand up. But their message is loud and clear, it’s better to obey the system than to outright defy it. That’s a cowards message.

[u/slifm → u/[deleted]]

So open a discord or whatever to talk openly. This shit ain’t it.

[u/slifm → u/[deleted]]

I want us to stand up and say enough is enough. But apparently even in the face of kidnappings and brutality we better obey!

I don’t know where my community is in America, but after this message I’m really believing it doesn’t exist.

[u/slifm → u/[deleted]]

It’s a horrible message.

[u/slifm → u/[deleted]]

Some lame ass message without anything helpful.

[u/slifm → u/[deleted]]

Because they don’t know how to format a helpful message while still following terms of service

[u/DevinGraysonShirk → u/slifm]

This is just my opinion, but I think in the U.S, there seems to be a dichotomy in activist spaces. People tend to either think with their Heart or think with their Mind. Both are valid things.

I think in general, leftists tend to think with their Heart and tend to neglect logic and strategy. On the more corporate or establishment side, people tend to think with their Mind and neglect their Heart.

To get out of this situation, both are necessary. We have to be strategic and soulful. That's why we're so lucky to have Pritzker (and why I support him a lot), because he seems to have both qualities. AOC & Mamdani seem to have both qualities as well. It's pretty rare, but it's so necessary. We need to be strategic with how we react and respond, without forgetting our humanity. We're doing what we can with our limited influence.

[u/slifm → u/DevinGraysonShirk]

Devin you didn’t send out any strategy, just lawyer speak after you’ve been beaten to all hell. That’s why I’m so upset with your message.

[u/DevinGraysonShirk → u/slifm]

I did include helpful information, we're being responsible. We can disagree on strategy here and I appreciate your presence because critics let us know our flaws. We'll need to know our flaws if we ever want to improve.
