This guy is protesting against ICE actions in the Chicago area.

Honestly, it's kind of brilliant. Deny the fascists this critical symbol that they've spent decades capturing by recontextualizing it as the revolutionary, anti-fascist symbol it was used as for decades before.

This one photo makes a bunch of MAGAs big mad.
