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.

I especially hate this during action scenes. "I *know* there's really cool fight choreography happening right now; LET ME SEE IT" 😤😆

Seeing how much Diane Keaton meant to so many other little girls in 1996 really really got me <3

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

October Spooky Reads: It Was Her House First by @cheriepriest.com

I maintain Cherie is at her best when she is writing about hauntings, and here she interweaves past and present to deliver a ghost story with a delightful ending. It's almost cozy creepy? Is that a genre? A+ pacing & characters.

They know they are ridiculous people and the thing they hate most is being laughed at. They want everyone terrified and intimidated by how MANLY and LETHAL they are, not laughing because they got got by a grating frog.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."

Palestinians have families, too.

This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.

I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

My drawing hand's not doing well so it's all old rerun art for Halloween this year. I really want to work on some new horror movie art before too long. Bleagh.
