ICE unleashed tear gas on the street in Chicago's Logan Square today. I tried to find meaning among the fog and my own anger about, well everything.

Disasters, Invisible and Visible
ICE has been sweeping through Chicago for weeks now, yet coverage of it is still really hard to find. I wanted to compile both my go-to places that I turn to, as well as offer some ideas to news orgs on how to cover the onslaught better.

I write a lot of notes in shortform social apps like Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky. I also capture them on this site, so the platforms don't control my stuff. Here are a few. You can always look at my notes page for more.
Chicago is two and a half million people. Expand out to the larger metro area and you’re talking about 10 million people. I like our odds.
