What is happening in Chicago now is not new. Nor is the response of the people who live here.

This is a quick read but one that provides some historical perspective on matters: chicagoreader.com/city-life/ch...
Chicago has always defied kidnappings of our neighbors - Chicago Reader
Even after the passage of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, local officials and everyday people resisted the legalized abductions of men, women, and children who had escaped slavery

How many ketchup bottles have been splattered against the White House walls tonight?

How unhinged will the posts be over the next 24 hours?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

JP Morgan saw all those visualizations of workspaces in dystopian films and media and said "what a great aesthetic, let's do that!"

I walked through this neighborhood /yesterday/.

And suddenly thinking about the unmarked blue van that was getting a NYPD escort down 5th Ave on Sunday.

(Said NYPD escort notable for not at all being aggressive pushing through traffic. Like they didn't want to be doing it.)
NOW: protestors chant “ICE out of new york!” outside of 26 federal plaza. this protest comes after a raid where ICE took street vendors in Soho at canal street this afternoon.

@annabower.bsky.social is one of my primary follows for legal matters and general legal reporting. Her reporting this year has been top notch and this latest article will show instead of my trying to explain.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Quick note for the Chicago locals (or those in the area): I'm guest DJing at the Sanctuary event this Saturday at Underground Lounge (9pm-3am).

I have some old favorites in mind but will be hitting the full spectrum so everyone gets some dancing fun.

Costumes encouraged, not required.

On the one hand: GOP candidate that is letting everyone know exactly what she thinks.

On the other hand: there are people who will agree that isn't discrimination.

Hate that I have to HOPE this is the end of Earle-Sears chances at the governorship when it should be a given.

Fuck's sake.
VA Gov debate:

Spanberger: my opponent has previously said that she does not think that gay couples should be allowed to marry

​Earle-Sears: That's not discrimination

​Spanberger: she thinks it's okay for someone to be fired from their job for being gay

Thought I can't get out of my head: someone in this administration told Trump "this is what's happening in Portland and Chicago" and then just hit play on "The Warriors"
Trump: "Antifa is out of control in Portland and other places ... we're looking for the people that are funding them and those people are gonna be just as guilty as the people that smack people over the head with a baseball bat."

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, people are doing what you asked. This is an elected Alderperson being arrested. What are you going to do?
ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I struggle to imagine how these commanding officers are feeling having to listen to this fake-tough chucklefuck lecture them.

And their "reward" is getting to hear never-served TACO Trump ramble on afterwards.
