Didn’t see it displayed in terminal 3 today. Did notice one monitor at security checkpoint where such a thing might be displayed turned off.

Seen earlier today, posted feet from where someone was abducted dash’n’grab-style less than 24 hours previously.

A paper sign, posted on a metal utility pole; an autumnal tree is in the background. It seems newer and fresher than the signs both above and below it on the pole, which are tattered.

The sign’s background is neon pink with lime green and lemon yellow dots. Written in all-caps in green lettering: “FUCK ICE”

Today would be a really great day to subscribe to @thetriibe.com, @unraveledpress.com, and @chicagoreader.com. They’ve been sharing quality info about daily DHS abductions and attempted stifling of dissent at Broadview for weeks.

"describes himself" is very disappointing language. freedom of the press is deeply at risk, we need our local media to stand together. he's a journalist just like the Sun Times visual journalist who was struck by munitions yesterday.

Chicago Sun-Times @chicago.suntimes.com · 17d

Agents fired pepper balls into a crowd of about 75 protesters Saturday evening and several arrests were made. Steve Held, a Chicago man who describes himself as an independent journalist, was one of those arrested.

Last Thursday I went to a Chicago Walgreens and was denied the latest COVID vaccine; pharmacist looked at screen for 10 minutes before telling me they didn’t know why it was such.

No such issues today at CVS. In and out swiftly with minimal hassle.

Axios Chicago never seems to tire of whitewashing racism and fascism and it’s not a recent development.

A little miffed this morning after discovering the hard way, twice, that a new LP plays from the inside out. At the conclusion of the program the needle falls off the record.

3) no more layoffs. we're doing acquisitions though: we're buying 100 small studios and letting them loose to make cool shit. 95 of them might be terrible! 4 might be good. One might be the coolest video game you've ever seen.
