Attacks leave dead vs killed

Katharsis, by Kangding Ray from the album SIRĀT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Been thinking about Sirāt a lot since I saw it at the Music Box the other night, and man this score goes kangdingray.bandcamp.com/track/kathar...

a lectern with microphones is placed in the street in front of an ice detention center in broadview, illinois.

i’m outside the ice jail in broadview, illinois, where community members and electeds are holding a press conference after six people, including three u.s. citizens, were abducted from o’hare airport and detained for more than 40 hours.

feds took the six people to wisconsin before repeating them.

Richard Roeper’s 2026 Oscars predictions are here Get ready for the biggest night in show business, televised on ABC and live streamed on Hulu Sunday, Mar. 15 at 6 p.m. CT.

I am once again tapping the "support independent, worker-owned, billionaire free news" sign. the most powerful people in the world should not be deciding whether or not we know about this sort of thing. putting Marisa's subscription link below

Anyway here’s a whole lotta stuff happening in Chicago’s music scenes in the next week or so, and also some rad new music you can buy on B*ndcamp today

I love to read about local music news

South siders Lost Legion make oi! for everyday people fighting back against the feds - Chicago Reader South-side duo Lost Legion prefer simple, direct communication—at least judging from their unrestrained oi! punk.

Chicago's Broken Left Foot draw from alt-rock's deep well on Adaptor - Chicago Reader Chicago four-piece Broken Left Foot are well-versed in several subgenres of punk and alternative rock.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I’ve got an idea of what can replace it… that’s right, a small cheval
