There has been a lot of ICE activity in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago today. There has also been a lot of ICE watch and rapid response activity. We love our community, and we are showing up for each other.

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying."
It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

Chance the Rapper’s new album (CD) is on sale for $8 plus free shipping.

If the singles and album art are any indication, I think this will be the best comeback album in a long time.

Please tell me that Looney Toons ass cover isn’t official.

Glad Mass Appeal is releasing singles for these projects. Wish Raekwon’s and Slick Rick’s albums had better rollouts

today's the 10th anniversary of Summertime '06. I wrote about Vince's evolution as a performer and storyteller, the music's low-key anti g-funk and trap agenda, and gangsta vs gangland rap

Happening now in Chicago at Michigan & Ida B Wells, protesters gather to oppose ICE’s operations.

Twice this week, protesters have forced Chicago’s immigration court to close early, as ICE has moved to aggressively arrest people attending their court mandated hearings.

“I feel like alders are missing the fact that teens need a space, a space that is welcoming and a space that doesn’t really limit them. There are rules everywhere, but I feel like there should be a space where teens can meet up and not be watched by 100 policemen.”
In this same series, Black teenagers spoke to The TRiiBE about teen trends, how they’re treated in Chicago’s Loop, and what solutions could fill the gap in youth-oriented spaces.

Rick Carlisle putting the most dangerous man in the league into the game with 5 minutes left and putting him in the middle of a 2-3 zone is really crazy. Basically a declaration of war.
