As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

Jury nullification is legal, spread the word! (They don't tell you it's an option, so a juror has to be in the know)

Moon in hiding

Dark sky with a few clouds; one cloud is brightly lit by the moon behind it. In the photo's foreground are prairie grasses, a paved path, and more grass.

Drenched.

A wave a water droplets split the photo between sky and water+rock. It is sunrise, and the reflection of the orange sun is visible on the rocks. The sky is bale blue with clouds, and a gradient turning orange at the horizon.

Lately the lake has been so placid I've been able to bring my phone into the water with me. (Photo from yesterday afternoon)

The sky is blue with fluffy white clouds. Smooth, flat water meets the sky just above the horizontal mid-line of the photo, and the sky and clouds are reflected in the water. On the right side of the photo is a rocky wall topped by trees in various states of fall colors.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Lake forever, summer for now.

Am I doing this right?

Full moon rising in a pastel sky over the lake. There are large rocks in the foreground.

Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls. He has demanded ICE turn over the names of all federal officers involved in each incident, and said he is ready to take ICE to court.

Agree (she's here too, you just have to look)

Big limestone rocks along the lake, with people sitting on them. The sky in the background is a pastel gradient shortly before sunset. The nearly full moon is visible in the sky

Are they USB-chargeable? I'm looking for new wheel lights and having trouble finding USB ones!

Big limestone rocks along the lake, with many people in various states of undress to get in the water and sun on the rocks

And even if they had, it wouldn't be grounds for an arrest by federal agents

The initial one (months ago), or today's? If (today's) not legally required, is it binding? Or, because they called it (tho not required), it becomes binding?

I am confused though. If they already passed the pilot program, why did they have to vote again to actually implement the approved pilot program?
