"WGN is the only radio station owned by Nexstar Media Group"
Nexstar, aka the folks who subscribe to fascism and shut down freedom of speech and are partly responsible for silencing Jimmy Kimmel.

Ignore WGN , please.

I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Isn't it crazy that the leader of our country is able to get comedians fired for their jokes? Pic unrelated

So, this gets better and then scarierโ€”I pushed back and am waiting to hear from the pharmacy, so I call my dr. office to cover bases, and leave a message.
Then, pharmacy responds and says I AM covered. 30 min. later the dr. office returns my call and they don't know what to doโ€”they have no guidance.

Checking the eligibility box didn't work for me. The pharmacy confirmed the appt. but sent a message later that the vax isn't approved by insurance. $250 cash.

I do have qualifying conditions but it seems I'll need my dr. to call it in.

I'm in Chicago FWIW.

Same as MC... if they are found guilty, but the FA doesn't vacate the titles they won, this is meaningless.

It's simple. They see themselves in him. They do not see themselves in his targets.

Like I just said on CNN, itโ€™s absolutely evil that people are sleeping on concrete floors at the ICE detention center near Chicago.

Join us to protest this Friday at 7 am at the Broadview Detention Center.

What Do We Say When the Soldiers Come? "There is no honor in this mission," says counter-recruiter Rory Fanning.

For my latest, I talked with counter-recruiter Rory Fanning about how we should communicate with National Guard troops deployed in US cities, and how we might counter ICE's current recruiting blitz.

Things that are probably more helpful than complaining about misinformation

1. Telling folks who to follow in Chicago for reliable information
2. Explaining why you know for a fact a post is spreading misinformation
3. Posting links to official resources and info
4. Blocking clickbait accounts

If I see the salt truck video one more time I'm going to lose my fucking mind.

They're not being used to block the city off from ICE. They're walling off the Taste of Chicago. The city uses salt trucks as temporary infrastructure.

Our point is there are hundreds to thousands of accounts insisting Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson have lined up salt trucks to block ICE.

It's not true.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

They do this every year to try and curb celebrations of Mexican Independence Day.

This is misinformation/wishful thinking. The city is preparing for Mexico's Independence Day celebrations, as they have beforeโ€”FYI.

PLEASE STOP SPREADING THIS MISINFORMATION!!!!

The city is deploying salt trucks to block roads into downtown in anticipation of the traditional Mexican Independence Day car caravans. This has nothing to do with keeping ICE out, and if anything it will probably only help them.
