Happy birthday on the other side, Dad. No idea what 8 track you got for your birthday in this photo, but Muddy Waters had a comeback album that year so I’ll guess it’s that or Rolling Stones’ Some Girls. Either way, I hope you’re attending ChicagoFest in the afterlife. Miss you

For at least the past 15 years, my colleagues in academia have grappled with angry letters to university officials for doing their jobs. They have weathered campaigns for their firing. They have contended with an internet army obsessed with doxxing them, their parents, their kids. I’ve been contacted by the F.B.I. more than once in my career. Not because I hold any important state secrets or know a biker gang but because one of my colleagues has lived with so much sustained harassment from right-wing β€œactivists” that it has become a matter of federal concern. Watch lists (one of which was constructed by Kirk’s organization) do not distinguish between public intellectuals at wealthy enclaves and hoi polloi who teach popular classes at cash-strapped schools. In either case, an army of trained provocateurs stands ready to destroy their lives to prove their bona fides as conservative activists.

New details emerge surrounding incident that led to a Black man being β€˜choked’ by the feds in Chicago β€’ The TRiiBE Chicago Police are still investigating this incident.

New video footage on Instagram from a witness who was at the crash site yesterday on the West Side shows federal agents escorting a Black man, who appears to be the same man who was choked by them in earlier video into an alley behind a nearby gas station.
