If you’re feeling exhausted from all the ICE news, you’re not alone. That’s the point of authoritarianism and fascism.
But you better fucking believe I’ll have a video tomorrow on this. Everyone, media and otherwise, needs to be loud as hell about what’s happening right now.

When 22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht tried to get a refill on his inhaler, the medication he needed had jumped from $70 to over $500.
So Cole couldn't get his medicine to prevent asthma attacks. Five days later he had a severe asthma attack and died.
Now, his family is suing.

A new curb has been constructed at the Logan Square traffic circle that permanently closes the old Milwaukee Ave right-of-way to car traffic. You love to see it.
The camera is pointed southeast down Milwaukee Ave from the north side of the park.
