From the owner of the house tonight:

This is my partner and I's house. We were in Toronto but rushed home when we saw this happen. Thank you to everyone that showed up, took video, and shared it. There was no warrant. We're trying to figure out the next steps for the individual that was violently detained here and have been in contact with the company he works for. You all that came out to confront these people are the actual patriots. Please don't ever forget that and keep coming out to support these individuals being terrorized in our city.

The building is just at the edge of a rail yard. Could it have been a kind of control tower managing trains on the many sidings there?

St Josaphat was worshiped by European Christians beginning in the 1000’s. But his life is a borrowed version of the Buddha’s life. If people didn’t cross borders in the ancient world, their stories did.

The NYTimes said it stretched for 22 blocks. That’s nearly three miles of people marching. Great image!

Had to take the Red Line south to Harrison from Monroe to be able to get on a train going north. And the train we got on is packed.

There’s a fascinating section where a character’s wife constantly remakes herself for him that is either offensive or proto-feminist. Dunno.

ICE falsely telling an observer that their presence taping ICE’s activity is “not safe” and threatening arrest if he doesn’t stop.
