People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

3D printers: WE NEED YOU! If you have a printer, start making whistles for your community. Volunteers of ours have been printing and passing them out across communities, over 200 have been handed out so far!

Or is he intentionally shunning empathy? That's more fucked up than sociopathy

He owns being a sociopath? Who does that? Most sociopaths don't

I finally got my autism diagnosis at 45. The doctor didn't want to give it because my coping mechanisms were so solid. My masking even when obvious, fooled him.

The uptick in adults receiving medical help for mental health and neurological conditions is largely due to increased awareness.

Not one but two jokes from William tonight, you lucky people.

Q How do I get a cow from one side of a vineyard to the other?
A I herd it through the grapevine

And

Q How do you turn a duck into a soul singer?
A You put it in a hot oven until its bill withers.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Wow, you guys!

1) We had well over 100 people come through

2) Because of generous volunteers we were able to fold 2500 zines and pair them with around 1500 whistles

3) This is now a weekly event at Nighthawk

4) Nighthawk offered to be a hub for whistle donations and distribution every day

Em, spookily 👻 @lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 5d

We’re doing it again! This Friday at Nighthawk (4744 N Kimball)
