Oooh. Walking to the library this morning I spotted this gorgeous Cooper's Hawk in the nature preserve part of Indian Boundary Park.

Mid-morning yesterday we got some really amazing light quality happening. It was really diffused but still casting clear shadows, it felt bright and dim at the same time.

Tonight's sunset painted the skies over Chicago with some fantastic pastels. I'd like to think of these decidedly non-gloomy skies as a tribute to the memory of those 29 men lost 50 years ago today.

This story has extra juice when you know the pretext behind "operation Midway Blitz"

This judge ordered the Trump Administration to release all its SNAP funding by Friday because, in his own words, "Children are immediately at risk of going hungry."

How sick do you have to be to appeal that order?

Our President straight up wants kids to starve.
Politico: Judge orders Trump administration to pay full SNAP benefits: The Trump administration is appealing the decision, which requires officials to send the money to millions of food stamp recipients by Friday.

This was this morning's sunrise over Blessed Aloysius Stepinac Croatian Catholic Mission on the North side of Chicago, looking towards downtown.

There was a pretty spectacular sunrise over Chicago today. This was shot from just outside, over in Lincolnwood.

Gooood morning everyone. These may be dark times, but let the beauty of the sunrise remind us that there is still hope and light. It's not always easy, but it's worth it to keep pushing on.

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)

to the Aurora Police

following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests

So here it is!
Hello Chief and APD Leadership, I just wanted to jot a quick thank you note for those who participated in this meeting with the Latino community about ICE in our neighborhoods. Sadly, this problem is not going away anytime soon. Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement - defending capital. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor; not capital. Labor vs. police: Learning from working-class history Workers World In this current struggle, I believe that we are 2-3 years away from a moment where we see the shift in solidarity. I would like to see Aurora lead, and show something different. It will create discomfort during the transformation. I noticed during the march towards Blue Kangaroo, when the police escort disappeared, that activists I didn't know used their vehicles to block the intersections and protect the marchers. All living things have the capacity to evolve and grow. Government is about to go through a huge evolutionary period and shed that which is not necessary, and re-focus on what is important. As government continues to disintegrate from the top down, we have an opportunity to re-invent the ways we find food, water, shelter and protection. We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different, leave our mark in the history books, and make a difference. I'm excited about the opportunity and look forward to discussing it further. Respectfully, John Laesch Mayor, City of Aurora laesch@aurora.il.us

Damn I'm lucky to get to live in such a beautiful city. Chicago can really deliver with the sunsets. This is what Chicago looks like, it's not a war zone, it's not a place to fear. We love our big, beautiful, diverse city.
