Today in #Chicago area:
"100 Palestinian and Youth led protestors have shut down WoodWard (weapons manufacturer) near Chicago IL, and stopped employees from entering. This specific Woodward facility in Niles provides the Control Actuation Systems (CAS) to #Boeing for its JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) - bombs that are currently being used to massacre over 27,000 Palestinains in Gaza over the past 4 months. Protestors have blocked every entrance to the Woodward facility to hault the production of these bombs for the day.
We demand Woodward to immediately end their weapons sales to the Israeli military and end their contracts with Boeing."

The most fun and rewarding job in my CAREER was the two years I spent in #Chicago doing opposition and vulnerability #research for local, state, and federal #campaigns.
I never made more than $33,000 a year doing it.
I loved the data, the #public records investigation, synthesis, narrative reporting.
Some clients and opposing candidates had been in Congress since the 90’s.
Reading Congressional #RollCall going back 10+ years was a regular activity.
That’s how I became radicalized.

Thank you for this day. 🌇
Did anyone else put Bugles at the end of their fingertips and pretend they were witches, or is it just me?

The #DemocraticNationalConvention will kick off Monday in #Chicago. Democratic organizers have had to rework programming for the #DNC after #POTUS #Biden dropped out & endorsed MVP #KamalaHarris to replace him.
But leaders within the DNC say they are harnessing that energy the #Harris & her running mate, MN Gov #TimWalz, have brought into the race, & that they hope to keep the momentum going at the convention & beyond.
Here’s what you need to know.

I have to hold my wife back from doing more than this gesture when we walk past this monstrosity in our neighborhood. I do worry on the day she might walk past it alone. #Photography #Chicago

ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said. He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

Good morning. Spring springs on. #Photography #Today #Spring #Chicago
There’s a protest outside of #immigration court in #Chicago today, supporting #RamonMoralesReyes, a #Milwaukee, #Wisconsin man who snatched by #ICE & accused of writing a letter threatening #Trump.
There's just one problem: the letter was fake.
Another man is now accused of forging it an effort to get Reyes — who could testify against him in a criminal case — deported.
Yet Reyes is still facing deportation.
