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...

It has been a lot of years since I watched one, but I will always think of myself as a soap fan. This whole season was a beautiful love letter to the genre that raised me.

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/...

In @chicago.suntimes.com, @natalieymoore.bsky.social writes that the CTA suffers from flimsy leadership, ghost buses, and crime—and it won't change until public transit is a priority. "Frankly, a bad reputation keeps riders away," she argues. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2...

Soaps have featured Black actors for decades, but Black writers and actors say they’ve had to push their stories to the foreground. Listen to Episode 3 of "Making: Stories Without End” now, available wherever you get your podcasts. www.wbez.org/making/2025/...
