Rodent indent not self-evident: a case of mistaken identity of the ‘Chicago Rat Hole’ | Biology Letters The ‘Chicago Rat Hole’ is a remarkable full body impression ostensibly created by a brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) crossing fresh concrete in Chicago’s Roscoe Village that became a viral sensation.

This crucially important and obviously visionary work makes me feel vindicated for having said the same thing last year, albeit with much less evidence, while being mercilessly mocked by the city and its residents. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads. I ditched it awhile ago for other political reasons, but this might tip your hand.

Thanks for the heads up @chuckwendig.bsky.social.

The East Side is a center of EJ leadership and resistance. It feels even heavier to see this community tear gassed as they continue to resist other environmental pollutants.

Ok but that means you got the Super Bowl Shuffle squad. I grew up with fkn Jim Miller

I have this bit where I’ve been a Chicago Bears fan for the past 30 years

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

For the science nerd x baseball intersection watching the cubs rn, I just told my wife:

“Call him PCA bc he’s covering ALL the dimensions”

I can’t get over how beyond despicable it is to detain street vendors, people that keep our streets vibrant and safer because of their presence. Street vendors are some of the most vulnerable and visible yet we are being told their detainment is to keep us safe. Ridiculous.

Good morning. U.S. District Judge April Perry just took the bench for oral arguments in Illinois v. Trump, over the deployment of the National Guard.

r/Lollapalooza 3 yr. ago DaL 028 Join [deleted] I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa... Question I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

In some ways this is the government now

fwiw I gained a level of media literacy while working with folks like you at Audubon that I 1000% never would’ve gained at any other point in my career. So if it’s any consolation, you helped at least one scientist clock bullshit when he sees it

time for another night in Chicago, where my anxious, hypervigilant ass will be checking for ICE outside every time a sound wakes me up. 🫩

Congrats!

Bucking tradition is putting ketchup on a hot dog in Chicago not sending in another state’s national guard troops to wander around a city and state that has explicitly said, “we do not want you to do that.”

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

They're teargassing people on the streets and shooting them, Chuck.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Journalists in Portland: Try to get photos of gas canisters/munitions, either spent on ground or still carried by DHS. ONLY IF SAFE. Use long lens. Risks unknown, don’t approach.

This green smoke isn’t super common. Raised concerns in 2020. Documenting DHS munitions may help accountability later.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

My god.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

What is the city government going to do to address the recent South Shore raid? Seems people were left with their apartments destroyed, items stolen, and potentially unhoused. Dozens others were taken into federal custody. Complete destabilization of our communities’ sense of peace and safety.

Jane Goodall, renowned chimpanzee researcher and animal advocate, dies at 91 "Dr. Goodall's discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world," the Jane Goodall Institute said in a Wedne...

Such an amazing life and legacy. RIP.

South Shore on Chicago’s South Side became a popular neighborhood for migrants arriving in Chicago over the last three years. This is due to the availability of affordable housing stock. Now we see it as another site of targeted ICE enforcement.

Oh man is right

A completely full Chicago on Michigan Avenue protesting Donald Trump.

Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.

Chicago, you showed up tonight what an amazing turnout! ✊

Big protest at a northern entrance to Great Lakes Naval base in North Chicago

The Mexican Independence Day Parade in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood went on as planned today despite concern of disruption by federal immigration agents. While parade festivities were underway, volunteers patrolled the area for on lookout for federal agents.
