Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

New Democracy Atlas briefing. This lesson comes from the pro-democracy forces in Zimbabwe with a reminder that even the most entrenched authoritarians are quite insecure and susceptible to public backlash. Here’s how democracy defenders have seized the opportunity.

Remember — autocrats are not invincible. But be careful.

ICE arrests & disappears our neighbors to inhumane foreign prisons without due process, violating their habeas corpus right where a court reviews detention/imprisonment to determine whether lawful. Say "NO" to Felon Trump's racist & criminal actions.
