The feel from the cops here in Chicago was a lot of them wanted to join in, but can't because of work. Purely feeling here, but CPD was calm.

I was at No Kings downtown. To be surrounded by, apparently 200K according to the Guardian, that many people shouting and cheering was very empowering. Our cheers echoed around the skyscrapers.

Having ICE roam your city's streets in the weeks before this protest kind of makes everyone very focused on what our goal is. And JB got such a loud cheer that it actually echoed from the skyscrapers. So most cities got it right.

I’m heading to the Chicago protest. I’m kind of expecting it to be huge, after the past few weeks here.

I bought some flags on July 5 because I thought I'd need them for protest at some point in the near future. Best $3 spent this year

I'm expecting Chicago's to be utterly massive. My normie bf and my have problems standing for an hour self are gonna be there. The bf was the one who suggested it, before I said anything.

I watch Try Guys, so I know too much about this, but I would have loved to have been in the room when Keith and Zach found out about this. Were they actually rolling on the floor in laughter?

At some point both ATC and the TSA will stop showing up for work. That's when it affects folks with money.

I happen to be in Detroit doing family stuff this weekend, but I just saw video in Albany Park where ice Gasser everyone, 4 blocks from my home. Ordered a pack of whistles as soon as I saw it. Especially since we're back in Chicago tomorrow.

Don’t forget the monthly injections

I can’t 3D print one, but I’m in Chicago and just found one online and I live in Albany Park. You will hear this one video soon enough.

I’ve had double hip replacement, so standing for long periods is painful for me. And I’m planning on being at No Kings next week. So is my bf who doesn’t read the news, but asked me if we should be going to it.

Mike Borden @aldebaran26.bsky.social · 9d

I may or may not understand, allegedly.

There is a non-zero chance that the Pope comes to Chicago to join a pro immigration rally.
