The voice of a particular Victoria neighbourhood. We're dissociating. From you. From ourselves. We’ll write a better bio later. Harm reduction, cycling, stopping genocide, clover point discourse, owning the NIMBYs, etc. etc.

Just rattle a broomstick under the bed and yell "Take That Antifa!!" and your grandparents will calm down and go to bed.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children
Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

You could doomscroll, or you could literally go take a shower and then go to bed earlier than usual. One of those options will make you feel better than the other. You still deserve time to rest and recover.

We don't have the luxury of that sort of time now. Instead it's going to require some kind of massive, better, unemployment insurance to assist folks while we transition.

"If we were to end coal shipping today, probably about 100 of my members would be out of work. But by giving us five years to phase it out, our union and employers can transition to shipping other products mined in Canada."

True....but the time to do that was 2005.

Public safety accounts for half of every property tax dollar.

The mayor wants a 0% property tax increase.

The police budget can’t be cut.

What services will be cut? How many staff will be let go? How much will fees and parking increase?

The math isn’t mathing.

"Sergio St Carlos" should be a procedural TV show in which every week the sensei helps folks in his community out of a jam. Maybe it's getting Mario to soccer practice when his dad gets an unexpected shift. Maybe it's coordinating an appropriate response to ICE kidnappings. Find out each week.

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

First time listening to the Current in like a month and I had to turn it off after five minutes. Too bad we can't turn Albertan grievance into an energy source. We'd be sorted for centuries.
