It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context. So we've posted the interview's unedited AUDIO and TRANSCRIPT:

I found @brianphillips.bsky.social's defense of the em dash to be thoughtful, beautifully expressed, and human!!!

Human writers have always used the em dash. In fact, it’s the most human punctuation mark there is.

The life of displaced Gazans is the focal point of this free exhibit at the Walls Turned Sideways space in East Garfield Park. There's an ambient sound that plays overhead to supplement the viewing experience...drones, sounds of the sea, children. It's very moving.
