November to Remember. Last night’s geomagnetic storm was one of the best I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot! The deep reds were some of the strongest I’ve witnessed and arced from east to west and all above. #aurora #northernlights #naturephotography #photography

“Of the $2.5 Billion needed in aid in 2025, only $320 Million - less than 13% - has been received.” 2 billion of OUR dollars should be feeding people, not egos 😭

Panoramic View of the Northern Lights last night over the Chicago Skyline.

People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed That they should “try harder” The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

So many stunning pictures of the #auroraborealis tonight, seen as far south as Iowa and even Colorado. Here's a little thread with some of the most spectacular from Bluesky... bsky.app/profile/ziib...

Northern lights in Chicagoland! *run outside and look northwest - best viewed via phone camera while your eyes adjust 💖

RFK Jr & the MAHA institute are selling anti-vaccine onesies. When I say they PROFIT by causing preventable illness & death, this only scrapes the surface of their deadly profiteering. RFK Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. He an anti-vaxxer. He is a danger to society. 1/

Chicago-style 🍂❄️

“I see you, Chicago. I see you charging out of your homes before you’ve brushed your teeth to blow your whistles, shout down ICE agents, and hold onto your neighbors.” “I see you running toward danger, together, and loving each other more fiercely than you ever knew you could.” This is Chicago. ❤️‍🩹❤️

Friends, if you have the means to donate to a local food pantry financially via online giving, I highly encourage you to do that. But I don’t want to discount the importance of actually showing up at the pantry, even if it is just to drop off food. (1/5)

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Children should never, ever, ever be pawns. Ever. Keep donating funds to your local food bank ❤️‍🩹

Re-upping this today as texts filter in today w/multiple stories of ICE trying to detain people outside CPS schools.

"School officials showed agents the teacher’s employment documents, including a work permit, but agents nonetheless detained her." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

🚨 Read this Chicago Tribune investigative piece. Please. This ICE agent - charged with DUI - told arresting officers he was driving back his hotel after working at the detention center. Driving through our suburbs. 😡

Children who are exposed to violence may exhibit signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). “These kids can feel emotional and physical ‘aftershocks’ for months or years. They can relive the event again and again in their minds, and be less able to function normally in their day-to-day lives.”

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Good morning, America 🇺🇸❤️

No one went hungry in the presence of Jesus, and no one should live with food scarcity in a land filled with supposed Christians. SNAP is an expression of compassion for human beings. That’s exactly why MAGA Evangelicals want to destroy it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/jesus-fed-...

Having to explain what tear gas is to kids A child telling her dolls "We have to be good or ICE will get us" A community having to stand guard so kids can get home safely

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

My favourite quote about Halloween:

In honor of Halloween, one of my all-time favorite cartoons by @katiemckissick.bsky.social #MedSky #IDSky #HappyHalloween 💊👻🎃

On halloween there’s nothing spookier than a future without CDC

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is enacting two executive orders this week to mobilize state support for farmers and direct state funding to plug a giant gap left by federal cuts to the SNAP program.

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts. And, I cannot emphasize this enough, I am in a city *3000 km from Toronto* Canada is behind this team

Back to 🇨🇦!!!

If your skin is darker than mine, and you work with your hands for a living, the government is treating you as unauthorized until proven innocent. This is a perversion of our constitutional order

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

Midwest nice 🤭

this version and only this version 🙌

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

This year’s #HCWvsHunger will be particularly meaningful. If you’re a clinician, or just want to help fight hunger, follow @hcwvshunger.bsky.social as the annual November friendly ‘competition’ is right around the corner. 🍎 (Go #KidVengers)
