ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation

According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

I was reading about a class they teach kids 6 to 16 in Denmark. It’s called Klassens tid. I think that translates to don’t be an asshole when you’re an adult.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this: Try.

Playing with memoir in the form of a poem.

#poetry

Local Man Knew Billy Vaughn

He knew Billy Vaughn,
Orchestra leader,
Or something like that.

When they were young.
Billy made things fun
Way back when,
In Kentucky,
Or somewhere like that.

Billy was gone by then, though.
This was an old man
In a wheelchair
On a porch.

Arthritis.
His fingers were
Twisted too.

His wife tried
To hide them
And combed his hair.
And said sitting on
The porch there
Perked him up.

Talking to a reporter
Of the memories about that
Just-gone Billy Vaughn
Might too.

So I listened
Wrote it up
Moved on
From him and Billy Vaughn.

But then one time
Not too much after when
A closed road
Detoured me
Past his house again…

He was in
The same spot,
On his porch,
Looking across the lawn
Maybe recalling better days
With Billy Vaughn.

They fixed the road
And I never drove
That way another time
To see the porch
Devoid of all his
Once upons.

I first created a spooky Pinterest board to provide prompts for students, and I had a co-worker tell me she had to unfollow me because: Nightmares. I scroll my Pinterest boards a while to get in the right place for working on a haunted house novel. #horror
