It is time for all of us in Chicago to rise up and fight back for what we believe in.** We are joining with others across the country as part of the national Hands Off Day of Action. This will be a nonviolent, broad-based action bringing all of us together from many different causes, communities and issue areas, as the attacks from Trump are impacting us all. We need everyone who cares about our city, our nation, and our planet to make their voices heard. Join us and let’s show Trump and Musk that we will not sit by as they attack every thing we hold dear. It's time to say HANDS OFF! -Hands off Medicaid! -Hands off Social Security! -Hands off Our Bodies! -Hands Off Our Public Lands! -Hands Off Unions! -Hands Off Immigrants! -Hands Off Trans and LGBTQ+ Rights! -Hands Off Clean Energy! -Hands Off Our Courts! -Hands Off Our Democracy! -Hands Off _____________! _A core principle behind this action is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values._

It doesn't matter what your favorite past-time or hobby is. Crafts, photography, fishing, biking, wood working - what ever it is - enjoy it, immerse yourself. Look around, use all your senses, be present.

Because all of it could be taken away in a moment without warning. We fool ourselves out of kindness, thinking we have some control over life but that often is not what happens.

Mutual aid request for Cicero/Berwyn community members affected by ICE detention and kidney failure. Boosts appreciated!

Jose Gregorio Gonzalez had just finished making breakfast for his younger brother, Alfredo, when he was detained by ICE in Cicero, IL on March 3, 2025. Jose is the only caretaker for Alfredo, who has 100% kidney failure and depends on dialysis 3 times a week, 4 hours each season, to survive. The only way to guarantee Alfredo receives a life-saving kidney transplant is for Jose to be a donor. release from ICE for humanitarian resident is planned but pending and they'll need help once they're released.

If you have a buck you can spare helping these brothers would be a good cause.

Occasional reminder for residents and visitors to #Chicago: The Drawing Room on Michigan Ave is a delightful, unique place to chill, meet, work, and even eat.

It’s technically a lobby for the Chicago Athletic Association hotel, so you don’t need to spend a dime to exist here. But just look at all these seating options. And there are three fireplaces!

One of my favorite places in this town. maps.apple.com/place?address=1
