Hello from the far South side

Ah, yes, this is a great use of massive amounts of water and electricity. For this, I'll gladly watch my electric bills go up.

(not trying to factbomb you; I'm in Chicago and grateful for this summary. But the woman, Marimar Martinez, was shot five times with actual bullets, so it's even worse than you realized)
This morning ICE detained a WGN producer for recording them,saying it counted as interference

Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

Next up, the Crown Fountain but with mace 😔

Thank you from Chicago. I'd call it Clown Gate after Cloud Gate, but non-Chicagoans probably wouldn't know its official name
This made me picture the Crown Fountain (the "squirting fountain") only with mace 😢
Thank you for your work!
