A man cries in desperation outside the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. His wife of 5 years was taken into its walls by the Trump administration. The couple was following the legal process, showing up for her court case, when ICE took her to another room and disappeared her. #Chicago #ICE

Deserving or not, I treated myself to a salmon burger and fries for lunch. Why not?

This is Greg Bovino. He’s the leader of the masked goon squads terrorizing Chicago. Two thoughts: (1) It hasn’t been cold enough for that coat, and (2) He may think a 1930s Hugo Boss look is a subtle wink-wink to MAGA Republicans, but it’s not. We all get the History Channel. #Chicago

Trump's 90k sq ft ballroom is so large it could seat 7,500–9,000 people, depending on staging, service aisles, etc. For centuries, presidents have managed diplomacy without a space the size of a convention hall. This will be a monument to his ego. It will be costly to maintain and sit mostly empty.

I fell down the stairs at this subway station a few weeks ago. I'm off the crutches, but not ready to take the stairs again. Instead, I'm taking this elevator, which smells like the name of a 2001 Broadway musical I've never seen. #Chicago #JacksonStation #CityLife

A dear friend of mine found out I'll be traveling to Lisbon in January, so she printed out a map, marked it up with all her favorite haunts and dropped it off at our building. How sweet is that!
