I hope the snowy owls enjoy Chicago as much as Chicago is enjoying them.

In love with these snowy owls! They are gifts to Chicago’s Montrose Harbor from the Arctic. Edgewater is a perfect backdrop. Very impressed how the crowd kept respectful distance. It’s helpful that the pier is horseshoe shaped. The owls chose well.

ICE continues to disappear our neighbors and devastate families throughout Chicago including Edgewater. These horrors continue but won’t last forever. Get trained, know your rights and plug into your hyper local rapid response teams.

"ICE's un-American and undemocratic tactics of fear and intimidation in our neighborhoods are a direct attack on everything Chicago stands for — inclusion, compassion and love."

Yesterday was a rough day. But luckily Anti-cruelty on LaSalle was still open for some kitty cuddling. I fell in love but was 5 minutes late to adopt 8mo old Pamla. October adoptions only $31
