Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

been meaning to make this thread for a few days - as someone who has participated in freedge restock/info-sharing/organizing, i wanted to make ppl aware of freedges as spaces that can fill some gaps left by government austerity + the inevitable inadequacies of food banks stretched too thin
People with disabilities that require special diets will struggle to feed themselves at food banks.
Those with illnesses that make standing in long lines difficult will struggle to access food banks.
Parents of kids with AFRID, autism or other food issues will struggle.
What can we do to help?

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.
