Fascinating convo w/Dr. Paul Leonardi about AI, Knowledge & Human Connection in our orgs. I don’t think leaders are thinking about #genAI in these more sophisticated and nuanced ways. Does your org have a #knowledgemanagement team? If not, now is the time to build one! youtu.be/KtXsT3uz1BE #ai #km

True. Sounds like I shouldn’t equate. Wasn’t looking at it through that lens.

Just like people from Chicago suburbs who say they are from Chicago.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

Border Patrol is terrorizing Gage Park this morning (video from Facebook, 55th & California reportedly 9:40am). SWRR reports agents are highly active and were also seen at the Pulaski orange line again: instagram.com/p/DPtwEY7DhTy

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Yeah, an infernal CBP helicopter woke me up early this morning. They’ve been buzzing my neighborhood like harpies all weekend. It reminds me of occupied Ireland back in the day. The racket casts a pall of doom, provokes a mix of sorrow and anger.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

More violent arrests for seemingly no reason. Seeing at least two, sorry don't have exact total.

The crowd here has kept moving backward/everyone is following orders. This is absurd.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Drop by before 3!!

A perspective of a crowd that is at least 150 that is protesting ICE.

I was in Chicago in April for C2E2 comicon. It was beautiful! I was a woman traveling alone, I even walked back to my hotel at dusk down Michigan Ave. No one bothered me, nor did I get harassed. I felt safe.
Stay strong Chicago, sending love from another "trump hellhole" in the PNW!

Back at Broadview where ISP and CCSO are sitting with zip ties at the ready as protesters shout down passing ICE vehicles, yelling at them to show their faces, etc. Some shout at officers about taking orders from Trump as ISP vans arrive for shift change.
