As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, "Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?"
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

It’s so fucked up, I was helping my friend put up Halloween decorations outdoors like I do every year and they were throwing tear gas canisters three blocks over by a church

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

We went to an event today hosted by some state senators about ICE - giving community resources, updates on the current status of legal actions, etc. Couple hundred people were there.

The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

What to you expect from people who spend that much time in Wisconsin?

Even if I was, I won’t really get to see any of the games, so.

My wife hates the NBA, the ‘Hawks are bad and the franchise pissed me off, so between now and Spring Training I’ve got…D3 football. I get more done than I used to.
