true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

Days before Christmas and masked federal immigration agents continue to take people from Chicago's streets. Video and photos shared to social media depict agents taking at least one man from the Logan Square neighborhood this morning, just west of the Armitage/Kimball intersection.

There's really interesting social science on how white people significantly overestimate the number of people of color in a room or in a picture. A room with, like, 20% POC will be perceived as majority POC.

The fundraiser is being organized by Legends of Drag and Willie Norris Workshop and centers on Blakkās deep ties to Chicago, where she ran her satirical presidential campaign as a Queer Nation candidate.

After their violent raid into Evanston on Halloween, I'm not too surprised Bovino and Border Patrol are back in Chicagoland right before Christmas. No day is sacred to the faceless gestapo army; if anything it seems one of their goals is to destroy the idea that any time or place may be sacred.

The situation right now is developing fast; Border Patrol is detaining people across SW side. Community members are following their caravan. Agents are threatening people who film with pepper ball and tear gas dispensers. It's going to take time for rapid response to tally arrest totals.

The Alternate Response Section is primarily cops with disciplinary problems, or those on modified injury duty, answering non-emergency police calls to 311. So according to CPD, heās still on desk duty collecting a check.
