Along with the Sun-Times, I recommend following Block Club Chicago which is a hyper local news org and our ABC affiliate, ABC7 Chicago. ♥️ They've all done solid boots-on-the-ground stuff since things escalated over the last week & a half while still keeping us all grounded with good things.

Also, I mistyped - I didn't mean the city is lying - the *administration* is lying. ::sigh:: Anyway! Stay angry but don't forget to find pockets of joy that are disproving the haters!

Chicago Sun-Times is at the top of the list for reporting on what is happening here. Main page headlines have been focused daily on it but we also need to share & amplify the positive things happening around Chicago in direct contrast to what is being pumped out from the White House.😊

Having a successful Chicago marathon is a huge act of resistence. This is fantastic event to showcase just how much the city is lying about what is happening here. 53,000 runners + all the spectators spanning diverse neighborhoods from north to south to west proving we aren't a war zone.

Chicago marathon race map - Northern most street Sheriden between Lake Shore Dr & Broadway. Western most street is Damen between Adams & Jackson. Southern most is 35th between Michigan & Indiana.

Look, I don't understand how anyone could NOT want this on everything right now but maybe that's because I'm a Klingon weirdo. 🫠

Chicago welcomes newcomers like no other city on earth, all you have to do is 1) tell us how much you love our food and 2) hate fascists

Already kinda look like they're cosplaying as the SNL Ditka guys. It's not a leap to think they're gonna be one of us before the week is out.

lol the funny thing is that Chicago's lake effect is SO DIFFERENT than Michigan's lake effect and Buffalo & Rochester, NY lake effect.
Ours is so cutesy - "our temps are 2 degrees cooler by the lake"
Everywhere else is like the Elmo fire gif but snow instead. 🤣

For the 9th year in a row, Chicago is voted Best Large City in the US by Conde Nast.
It's almost like the president manufactured a crisis here because he hates that we didn't vote for him. 🤔

I think this is a load of hogwash. I think this threat has been floating around since March.

Greg Abbott is really out here sending his National Guard here to Chicago to "clean things up" after he gleefully sent us bus after bus of migrants & refugees.

What an absolute douchcanoe.

On one hand, yay.
On the other, we're currently living in a dystopian hellscape and Humboldt Park is a neighborhood that ICE is very honed in on.

This is a theme we keep repeating too. Until you see it for yourself, I think it’s hard to really understand how completely unnecessary and disproportionately violent the federal response has been.

How much is for fun, terror, or social media, I don’t know. A mix of the three for sure.

Peter Nickeas @peternickeas.bsky.social · 8d

I've never seen such escalation and use of force toward ends I just could not see. There was no real property destruction, no pushing into the neighborhoods to make arrests, very little obstructing of traffic. Saw chemicals and bangs deployed down streets the feds were not facing and did not travel.
