I write and talk about sports for a living. Quilt, sew, bake and love Chicago. Probably making a Taskmaster or Murder, She Wrote joke. I won't answer any questions you can figure out for yourself with a quick search. I'm here for conversation, not debate.

Since Broadview is so close to where I grew up and much of my family is near there, I want to be a resource for anyone heading there to protest. To begin with, here are some places where you can go and grab some food not far from the Broadview ICE facility. These are all BIPOC owned and delish.

Since the WNBA season is over, I can now start my football and cross stitching Sundays. I’m making myself a Jessica Fletcher stitch, and here’s where i’m at so far. (not far) I’ll make this my accountability thread

I used to really admire Sally’s work but I have been really disappointed in her commentary recently. There is this shift happening among a class of Gen X white women journalists that is a real bummer (see also: Christine Brennan).

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

1. Love that you're feeling like you belong there. 2. It makes COMPLETE SENSE. Communion literally means together with. The whole point is bringing people together.

So thankful that dudes without game now have the option of driving all of our energy bills up to come up with devastating lines like it was nice to meet you

And when your marriage is failing because you of the the therapy you did on TV, it makes tons of sense to then write about it in an international newspaper. That’ll get it back on track! invite more scrutiny!

They don't want a small group to block 25th so they send out a big group to block 25th. Makes so much sense.

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.

LOL I would prefer they get released, as well! Spamming people on BlueSky seems less than effective.

Isn't denying someone Eucharist and a visit from clergy a pretty clearcut denial of freedom of religion? I mean, I know that don't give a fuck about the Constitution but it sure seems like this sets up a lawsuit.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

My mom is part of this group, and this was not a physically easy thing for her to do. I am so proud of her.

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

Spent the last four hours dodging bullets (going birding at Big Marsh and doing a walking tour of historic open houses in Pullman) on the mean streets of the south side of Chicago. Lived to tell about it.

The Chicago Architecture Center's Open House Chicago is next weekend. But the Sun-Times asked me to get a jump on it for this weekend. This year’s OHC has 200+ sites with 30 new places to gawk at. All of them are pretty good, but here are my top five:
