I love living in a city whose cultural class romanticises survival & creativity under conditions of poverty elsewhere & has no curiosity or regard for the people who do it in their own city

it's bad form to make a cold list of food pantries & circulate it as helpful !!!!! the internet isn't a guide for IRL rules & material offerings of a food pantry.

got to Target minutes after ICE kidnapped someone. Spoke to people otg who said they were probably staging at Rosehill. Drove over to Rosehill, another patroller I saw was talking to an employee. Patroller said ICE was using A CEMETERY AS A HOME BASE for kidnapping people in our neighborhood.

this is literally gonna kill so many convenience stores and make food deserts even worse. it might end up being literally impossible to buy food anywhere, even gas stations, on the south/west sides of the city
I don't think many people realize yet how damaging Trump's suspension of SNAP payments will be to millions of Americans, doubly so because huge cuts are simultaneously hitting food banks and charities. Help your neighbors any way you can.

progressive aldermen in chicago are celebrating the creation of this sign

politicos would rather their neighbors be snatched and hold onto their political money so they can act helpless in formal power than deal in reality and feed people
the city of chicago releases itself of all liability

did swap o rama organizers make promises to vendors? this article is missing the v important context that the MO & supportive alders like Byron are putting up absurd signs that declaring private property offers protections from ICE
Community members confronted Swap-O-Rama owner for not stopping immigration agents from coming in. “One of our people said this is private property and they said to that person, ‘If you resist we’ll arrest you, we’re coming in anyway,'” the owner told us.

Federal immigration agents raid Swap-O-Rama, patrol Southwest Side: ‘It’s us against y’all’
A battery of armed agents covering their faces entered the open-air shopping staple of the Back of the Yards neighborhood Thursday morning. DHS said it arrested 13 people in the raid.
