Updating my LEGO White House

A few of my own photos from Saturday's No Kings protest, in Chicago, October 18, 2025. flic.kr/p/2rAgUcs #Chicago #photography #nokings

An astonishing crowd! By u/sandrakaufmann in r/chicago

Massive crowd as thousands pack downtown Chicago for the No Kings rally and march. I’m here #OnAssignment for @blockclubchi.bsky.social

If anyone needs me this afternoon, I'll be in Grant Park peacefully protesting with 100k of my closest friends. #Chicago #NoKings

The frogs have spawned! Dublin represent! #NoKings

The same people saying “the rally isn’t really doing anything but making you feel good, and you shouldn’t go” are probably the same ones who said not to vote for Harris. It’s a rally, not an assignment. The purpose is to rally you. To show our numbers and show them we aren’t beaten. Party on.

Let's go Chicago!

Welcome to the largest day of peaceful protest we’ve ever seen in our lifetimes. Today, we’re gonna speak out on a grander scale than Trump has ever seen. No Kings Day is going to be big, loud, boisterous, and joyful. Find your local event and let’s make history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE #NoKings

Looking up in Pilsen, Chicago

I am grateful no one was hurt. Not grateful that the lost harvest is nearly worthless, given how this country has destroyed its markets and aid programs.

There's a lot going on in Chicago right now, including the No Kings protest which I plan to attend this weekend. But I would be remiss not to mention the annual Open House Chicago. Take a break and go see some amazing architecture. www.architecture.org/open-house-c... #Chicago #photography

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

This is real. Chicago today.

Chicago not letting Portland have all the fun 🐧

Congratulations to every single Chicago marathon runner, and thank you for visiting our city! ❤️

Nothing boosts morale quite like being accidentally fired.

As evening fell on the site of an ICE abduction at Lincoln and Foster, a lone protester held a vigil.

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Perry: The federal government is "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois." That's it. Thanks again for following.

Rogers Park moon.

For people who haven't spent much time in Chicago, it is a very big place (over 10,000 square miles). There are hundreds of suburbs, all blending together. Texas sending 300 troops to "invade" is problematic of course, but it is a PR stunt, nothing more.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

ICE unleashed tear gas on the street in Chicago’s Logan Square today and I tried to find meaning among the fog and my own anger about, well, everything. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Where are those "state's rights" people at?

Hundreds marched through Downtown Tuesday to protest President Trump’s latest threat to send troops to Chicago as well as his administration’s immigration enforcement operations. blockclubchi.co/4nU7XFb

Cortland is open to cyclists and pedestrians. It’s amazing at sunset!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

I love Chicago

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I'm old enough that I remember when the #rapture was supposed to happen in 2011, and hey, I have a photo. flic.kr/p/9FsLFU #Chicago #photography #RaptureDay

This Rapture could’ve been an email

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off." 'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.' We hope neither carries you off today.
