It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

a medieval-style digital art piece. In the center, there’s text reading β€œLet this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.” written in black gothic script, with a colorful blue, pink, and green dragon hanging upside down acting as the capital L. There is also a smaller red, blue, and yellow dragon as a filler at the end of the text. There’s a thin, blue and white border around the edges.

This is a video of PBS travel guy Rick Steves at the Edmonds WA Hands Off event, giving a speech which I think is one of the BEST explanations I've seen for the average person of what is going on now and it is πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯. You are going to want to watch this. youtu.be/86hnPrWozUo?...

Lake Michigan is labeled β€œLac des Illinois” on a 1718 map by French cartographer Nicolas de Fer, in the Newberry Library’s collections.

Governor JB Pritzker jokingly (?) declared that Lake Michigan is being renamed Lake Illinois. The Newberry Library has a French map from 1718 that calls it β€œLac des Illinois.”

Goran
World - yesterday

As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up nowβ€”if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to complyβ€”you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

Another employee noted in an internal post how reactive the company had become, dramatically changing policies and positions based on one relatively close election. "It's a bit crazy, just thinking that if the election result was different β€” none of this would happen? Does it mean we were doing things that we did not believe in? Are we going to have such big changes every time power shifts?"
Responded another employee: "Apparently the current direction of the wind is the way we 'lean in.'"
