Yes . . . And no cause for Chicagoans to get complacent. We have our whistles and are driving down to Pilsen next week to eat and frequent delightful Latino-owned markets and shops. ICE is still menacing our neighbors. In a weird way, the external threats are forcing neighborhoods to become more interconnected. Usually, people shop and socialize within the few neighborhoods adjacent to where they live. Not these days. Some of us have cars and are willing to go further, in solidarity. Taking our friends along for the ride.
I’m so proud of my favorite US city. They have the big shoulders needed to fight trump and his minions. Good on Chitown - its leaders and citizens. Can you imagine if someone like Rahm was still running Chicago? I honestly don’t believe the outcome would’ve been good. Go Cubs, go Blackhawks, and go Bulls.
I spend hours a day searching for the actions of Trump. I write emails, fill out questionnaires about his actions, write to Senators & Representatives to request they expose what he is doing. They all seem to not want to stand up to him.There are some Democrats running for office that stand up against his actions, but, unfortunately, the currant Democratic party are not standing up to him. They must do that. That is how I feel about their lack of fear of exposing his actions..Some have to do something. Lenore
Okay, Pritzker's looking better—though Gavin Newsom also opposed Federales in Los Angeles and I'm NO fan of that transphobic, anti-homeless, anti-union Hillary Neolib PoS!
Great piece. I really hope that blue state officials are watching and learning.
I have a dog that barks a lot. When he barks less or not at all, it is news here. The legacy media probably won’t mention this much, but that’s because they’re complicit, not because it doesn’t warrant attention. On the other hand, Trump is so reactionary to news coverage that we’re probably better off that way.

Thanks for this wonderful, concise synopsis of what just happened!
This is something we can pass on at the neighborhood and city level, feel informed and all benefit.
Very grateful!
Chi for the win...
