Happy Indigenous People Day!

Did you know that Indigenous women go missing and are murdered ten times more than average? They don’t even get a quarter of the attention that a white woman going missing would get. Please keep these women in your mind. Don’t forget them

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

NOISE = VISIBILITY.
CODE 2:
CODE RED

PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.

DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT.

Lots of attention on this Marc Benioff article, which is excellent and full of jaw-dropping quotes.

It reminds me of how he was when I did a story for NPR about him secretly buying hundreds of acres of land in rural Hawaii. Things got weird.

What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
