Healow is an electronic health record system that someone hired their nephew to build in order to avoid paying for MyChart and one thing that nephew has done is introduce the letter T as an abbreviation for “Thursday”

Fuuuuuuuuck ICE. We bought out 5 vendors this morning in Little Village and ICE is out there terrorizing the community. We also pass out whistles thanks to a supporter who 3D printed a ton for us. We keep us safe. ✊🏽
I just spent an hour chasing these ICE jagoffs through Bridgeport. They detained and questioned two old Chinese ladies (clearly dangerous criminals) then let them go. They are terrorizing the entire neighborhood. There have been people abducted this morning. I'm beyond enraged.

This app has unfollowed @nikhunder.com for me twice in the last 24 hours, why does Bluesky not want me to know what is happening?

a facebook video recorded around 9:45 am shows federal agents detaining at least one person near lawrence/kedzie.

video shows multiple chicago police on scene to help ~10 feds clear a path through community members who had gathered.

after the feds leave, a person in an elmo onesie berates a cop.

And we've got CPD clearing the way for federal agents to abduct people. And state police protecting their federal facilities in the suburbs.

City 🤝 feds 🤝 state
It’s clear that Pritzker’s request to Noem did not work and it’s still a full on assault on our Chicago immigrant communities today on Halloween. It’s not a safe environment for children rn.

A fall morning in Chicago now: biking down Lawrence through Albany Park, which looks like a relative ghost town compared to its usual foot traffic, watching as street vendors scramble to pack up and flee because ICE just grabbed someone. Folks screaming and whistling at every intersection.

Our neighborhood org leadership also internally agrees on the group’s position regardless of what happens in meetings and lies about it to electeds and in the newsletter. Yours probably does to.
Wow, sounds like this was a worst-case scenario for bonkers anti-bike NIMBYism by Sheffield Nabe Association board members blocking installation of a bike-share station. "I hate Divvy bikes!" one reportedly ranted on an email list. 🚳 😠

Agree 100%. Especially since Chicago media—local TV affiliates, Sun-Times/Tribune, local NPR, Block Club, Triibe, college newspapers like Loyola, independent journalists, even some Chicago bureaus of national media outlets—have done terrific work

We’re under assault, & it should matter to everyone
The Washington Post and NYT should have Chicago on the front page every single day. Stories, columns and photos. Every day.

Have you ever had an entire discharge room full of people who “love you” yell at you after surgery because you asked one little question about riding your bike?

Seeing a lot of “what about cars” dunks on this, which of course mentions cars first among “bigger culprits,” but actually it’s story about a promising intervention to reduce our climate impact that our shitty healthcare system largely does not cover. Europe, and our VA, are already making the shift

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Ald. Brendan Reilly is running for Cook County Board President and his base is people who’d beat him in broad daylight if he said “showing a warrant before detention is not optional” or “due process is not negotiable”
