"record" does not specify the medium so I appreciate this for its precision, even if it sounds awkward

I lived on Harrison when Buzz opened. I think I've been there 3, maybe 4 times, not my vibe. That said, it felt like it anchored the arts district and it was definitely a rite of passage for new moms to venture out of the house to meet a friend there. I'll pour out a shot of espresso for them.

I know it would feel good to ignore the rule of law, like this administration is trying to do, but we need to try to make it work.

If you still know anyone who imagines that Pritzker or Johnson will order police under their command to arrest federal agents, you can send them this (1hr12min42sec timestamp). They are explicit that they will not and they view courts as only venue for enforcement.

I haven’t been on here in months (and probably won’t be for many more) but since I’m at home recovering from chemical weapons exposure and found my way over to catch up on a friend’s feed, I thought I’d add to what has already been shared about Chicago protests against ICE & CBP.

Artemis update:

It's been a tough time. He is still in the hospital, not eating.

A few folks have asked how they can help, so I've set up a GoFundMe to help with costs.

If you've ever loved Artemis, his gravity experiments and feel moved to help him, here's the link.
