If an escalator that Jane Goodall had been on suddenly stopped moving, *no one* would have assumed it was because someone hated her.

These men were building us homes.
The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants.
Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS.
Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

The best compliment a reader can pay a columnist is to get to the end of a column, which I did with Steve Jiang's essay in the ST today. He has a point of view, and details of life in the city. A sophomore! They must be doing something right at Walter Payton.

Graffiti, other public art could add meaning to blighted areas, Chicago's Next Voices columnist writes
Steven Jiang rode the L to school in the Loop, never noticing the art all around. One day, he did. And gradually he came to think public art could breathe life into Chicago’s neglected communities.

Keep in mind that a lot of the remaining traffic is commercial, which suggests truly apocalyptic implications for US businesses that serve Canadian tourists.
We heard anecdotally that Canadians weren’t visiting the states, now we have the data. A massive, shocking drop.

Once thing we can say for certain is that Donald Trump has been convicted of more crimes than some of the people he is deporting to a black hole in el salvador with no due process or recourse www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Trump’s Salvadoran Gulag
To be deported, one does not need to be a drug dealer or a terrorist; apparently, having tattoos and being Venezuelan is enough.

If fraud and abuse are so out of control, where are the lawsuits? Where are the arrests?
If it were real, they’d be parading the perpetrators—not just pushing headlines. Treat the so-called fraudsters like they do suspected gang members with soccer ball tattoos.
