Hi Darth,

When you asked this 2 months ago I replied I was working on a cookbook. It's now out—the PDF is FREE & print copies raise money for a food security & sovereignty charity. With 1 week to 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving it would mean so much if you'd be willing to share it! 🙏💜

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

It’s not all doom and gloom in Chicago: Lifeline Theatre is launching a world premier of “Rabbits in Their Pockets.” It’s about Black ancestral joy. Two estranged sisters try to reconnect and create the joy they seek by accessing their ancestors. Starts September 14: lifelinetheatre.com

A joyful Chicago moment today: the dedication of a part of Sheridan Road in Edgewater as Bob Newhart Way. The building featured in his show’s opening montage is located there. I loved that show.

Dear @washingtonpost.com: these two paragraphs are absolute malpractice. Utterly disgraceful.

You use total counts, not rates … for the THIRD BIGGEST CITY IN THE US. Of COURSE it has a high total.

And rates “have come down” … with a link, but no number.

Down FIFTY PERCENT IN FOUR YEARS.

Subway would do, I suppose. But picture sammiches from Bari, Graziano’s, Calabria, all the Fontano’s, and let’s add hot dogs and tacos. Greet illegitimate national force with legitimate local foods.
When Tr*mp troops arrive in Chicago, let protesters greet them with sandwiches. Not to throw at them, but to surround them and mock their false pretenses, and offer a bite to eat if they pull down their masks. Like the hippies back in the day putting flowers into National Guard gun-barrels.

MURDER ALONE DOWN FIFTY PERCENT IN CHICAGO; BEZOS BROADSHEET AND OTHER ORGANS OF OLIGARCHY CHOOSE TRUMP LIE
It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion…

… and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines.

Infuriating.
Giant YTD drops in Chicago for basically all crimes.

Huge 4-reductions in Chicago for all violence. Murders are down FIFTY PERCENT.

Property crimes are dropping, tho still higher than before. But MRAPs don’t stop theft.

This is all pretext. Yet the WaPo subhed frames it as a “crime” issue.

Well, historians *will* remember this tweet, but only to deploy mockingly when describing the utter catastrophe of this moment.

It'll be trotted out reliably in books, like the economist Irving Fisher insisting stocks had reached "a permanently high plateau" right before the Crash of 1929.
Presidential historians, take note.
