We’re seeing more guns on our streets than ever before—but now they’re federal. This isn’t border enforcement. It’s militarization, under a familiar political playbook. Natalie Moore breaks it down with historical context + clarity. 📖chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2... @natalieymoore.bsky.social

The manufactured Chicago war zone under this administration manifests stylized on social media. On Instagram, videos are a cross between a 1980s action flick and a 1990s slick music video. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2...

Strong final episode (before a bonus ep!) of Making: Stories Without End. So happy I got to explain my beef with the "OJ killed the soaps" narrative, one of my pet peeves www.wbez.org/making/2025/...
