Banner Drop at Chicago Marathon

Posted on 2025/10/14 - 2025/10/14 by unsalted

Marathon participants run down a street in downtown Chicago, past a hand-painted banner which reads "26mi - you are running the length of Gaza. 67000+ KILLED. FREE PALESTINE."

“26 mi: You are running the length of Gaza. 67,000+ KILLED. FREE PALESTINE.”

This morning, over 50,000 people participated in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, a 26.2 mile race starting in the Loop, flanked and escorted by cops on all sides. Thousands of gratuitously patriotic fans lined downtown streets, holding signs, waving American flags (among other nations’ banners), and cheering loudly.

This pre-planned gridlock downtown fell days after the second anniversary of October 7th, 2023, marking two years of the ongoing US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza, with a conservative under-count of over 67,000 Palestinians murdered to date. The run was ironically, unintentionally resonant—26 miles is also approximately the length of Gaza’s coastline.

Bank of America (B of A) sponsors and organizes the event, which carries a $250-260 registration fee. B of A is also a sponsor and accomplice to “Israel”‘s illegitimate colonial project and an active genocide financier.

We permenantly removed a Flock camera in Washtenaw County a few days ago. We did this because we do not like to be watched. We do not like abortion seekers, migrants, communities of color, or really anyone to be watched either. We believe that surveillance is a key tool for the settle colonial state to perpetuate itself. We believe that the police and their friends the tech bros are a key part of surveillance locally. Continue reading “Flock Camera Destroyed in Washtenaw County” →

North Lake Correctional Center Noise Demo Reportback

Posted on 2025/09/16 - 2025/09/16 by unsalted

Anonymous submission to Unsalted Counter Info.

On Saturday, September 6, 2025, about 200 Michiganders gathered outside of the North Lake Correctional Center for a noise demo. Formerly a youth prison, since June 2025, North Lake has become an ICE detention center operated by GEO Group, holding over 600 people captive from various ICE raids across the Midwest.

The demonstration was called by the No Detention Centers in Michigan coalition. First, there were a few speakers. Members of the coalition, a lawyer who represents some prisoners at North Lake, as well as the voices of some of the people trapped inside. Some imprisoned people and their loved ones sent statements or audio recordings to be read or played back at the demo, while one person happened to call during the demo and was able to have their voice amplified and to hear their supporters. While the speakers addressed the crowd, ICE goons drove past the gathering in white pickup trucks, recording the crowd with camcorders and spying on everyone with binoculars (the cowards wouldn’t come out and confront anyone).

A Call for Action in So-Called Naperville and Solidarity and Action in So-Called Chicago Illinois

ATTENTION NEIGHBOR, YOUR DEATH IS ON THE DOCKET.
At the site of the demolished Nokia building on the northwest corner of Warrenville and Naperville Road, Karis Critical, LLC is attempting to commit ecocide and endanger the general public with the construction of two 211,000 square foot data centers on the Nokia property in Naperville. While presented as economic development, this project poses serious, permanent risks to our community, environment, and a furthering the US imperialist project which is aiding an embedding in genocide in Palestine, Congo and Yemen. This project is similar to the one being proposed in Chicago, Illinois. Where a data center is attempting to be built in a predominantly Black community. Endangering the health of vulnerable people in their communities as well. Their struggle against techno-fascism and ours is directly interconnected. We need each other if we hope to win.

CALLS TO ACITON
• Stand in solidarity with those in opposition to the 9 Billion dollar Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park(IQMP) on the shores of southern Lake Michigan or Mishigami. We must stand in solidarity with those undergoing the same struggle to defend their own communities from techno-fascism. The communities surrounding the IQMP site will feel the effects to a larger extent than we will stationed in the suburbs. For more information visit Unsalted.Noblogs.Org

• Create a public pressure campaign through an anti-imperialist lens to deny the proposal and subsequent construction of the new data center. We have outlined companies and peoples complicit or advancing the project, endangering our communities for generations to come. For more information on struggles through history against Western imperialism. Visit UnityofFields.Net

New Zine: RESIST ICE FASCISTS IN CHICAGO

Posted on 2025/08/19 - 2025/09/16 by unsalted

Excerpt from front of "Resist ICE Fascists in Chicago" pamphlet. The title is above an illustration of two people sitting at a table facing each other. One is a white man wearing a hard hat and yellow reflective vest with a single cookie in front of him. Across from him is a black man wearing a t-shirt and with nothing in front of him. Between them both in the background is a bald man in a suit atop a huge pile of cookies, pointing to the black man as he says to the white man "Careful mate... that foreigner wants your cookie!"

Midwest Prison Censorship Update 2025: Exposing the IDOC Mail Scanning Scam

Prison censorship is a front in the fascist american project. For the millions buried by the largest prison system on the planet, we know that access to communication and reading materials remain one of the only ways people behind bars can maintain humanity. Prison is censorship, a system of walls and borders that criminalizes people and ideas: a system we are determined to break by building bridges of solidarity – through sharing books and publishing zines.

Coinciding with the fascistic expansion of police and cop city projects, the prison censorship machine has rapidly marched on, consuming the majority of local, state and federal facilities. Played-out “war on drugs” fear mongering is why most people behind bars no longer receive physical mail: books are banned under cover of “content-neutral” and “publisher-only” restrictions, and private monopolies experiment with dystopian tablet technologies to monitor and profit from all communications.

Illinois has been one of the last holdouts until last year when prison copagandists began another all-too-familiar disinformation campaign. Guards are staging drug exposure hospitalization stunts to take away physical mail – incidents easily disproved as impossible by medical experts and according to IDOC’s own confiscation and exposure data. Unlike other states, this battle is being waged at capitol: multiple bills for and against mail scanning are being debated in Springfield. IDOC has not made any announcements yet, but has signed a new phone/email/tablet contract with ICSolutions: Illinois could fall to all-digital mail unless we organize now to stop it.

One voice that has not been heard from are those behind bars who are bearing the brunt of their draconian machinations. We made sure to share their plans to thousands of our incarcerated correspondents throughout IDOC, asking for comments and strategies on how to fight back and providing information on the bills and the addresses to write congress. Throughout these pages you’ll hear directly how mail censorship affects life behind bars: and special appreciations to the brave souls writing us, refusing to be silenced.

We are determined to stop mail scanning and book bans in Illinois: we share these tools and updates, seeking comrades to help break down the panopticon through underground networks of paper and print. Free the books, free the mail, free the people – free them all!
