ICE continues their terror campaign today as people protest in mass. Border Patrol was seen in Blue Island, and at the O'Hare rideshare lot again. Sightings in southeast side. A truck with a smashed window in Villa Park. Right now, they're hunting people on the southwest side.

Back early from a neighborhood anti-ICE event: so many people showed up to assemble info packets and whistles that the organizers ran out of supplies. Chicago forever.

Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.
Y'all this isn't sustainable.

Biked through what looked like a puddle. It turned out to be overflow cooking oil from the restaurant dumpster, and the entire alley was so slick that I wiped out for the first time in years. Which feels like some kind of Chicago rite of passage? But ouch.

Help me solve a mystery: The band’s newsletter subscriptions have gone WAY up in the past couple of months. This is not, so far as I can tell, the result of anything I’ve done. (We’re recording, so there’s not much to publicize at the moment.)

I don't fight based on whether or not I think I can win. I fight based on whether or not I think it's right.
Letting them coast into this horror show without a fight is WRONG.
