ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I think this is from there too if it’s Roscoe and Lakewood. A woman posted it on Instagram saying her husband took the video. From a different side.

A "Taste of Chicago" on top of the Minnesota State Capitol ... the 1906 golden Quadriga sculpture, "Progress of the State" (four horses, three human figures), by Daniel Chester French, who'd done something similar for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. I got to get up close and personal with it today.
Front of Capitol with Quadriga circled Full view from behind on one side Partial view of chariot wheel with gold leaf squares apparent charioteer and column on Capitol dome section, with bald eagle in marble high above

Local Chicago newspaper now about 60% updates on the armed invasion of our city. Yesterday they detained two staff members of an alderman, pointed a gun at a state rep, and snatched a CPS vendor from on front of a school.

Fittingly for this morning’s wintry weather, I saw a snow bunting at Montrose Beach.

Jeff Tweedy’s decision to make a triple disc of his fifth solo album, September’s Twilight Override (dBpm), feels almost quaint.

Insane that my local Home Depot/Aldi/Pet store parking lot is ground zero for nazis on the Northside. It is in a heavily immigrant community. Jewish immigrants who fled the Nazis and the Soviets!
