Never thought I'd see the day when there is a #BLM protest in Naperville. Despite people fearmongering about "looters" or whatever, I think a lot of people are finally getting that we need to put a stop to police violence.

I am reading "A People's History of Chicago" by Kevin Coval. My goal is to read one poem per day, and post some notes about each poem. I will post all notes as a reply to this toot.

This poem is about the murder of a Black boy, killed by white swimmers after drifting into the "white beach". This sparked the Red Summer of 1919. Eve Ewing has an excellent poem collection on this https://eveewing.com/1919/ . It is so fitting that as I chose to pick up this book again at this time, this is the first poem I read. Not much has changed since 1919.

ICE is trying to build a brownshirt army in #Chicago https://www.newsweek.com/ice-launching-citizens-academy-course-how-agency-arrests-immigrants-1516656 I'm not sure what we can do to stop them, but at the very least, we can't allow the "trainees" to operate in our city.

With all the terrible reporting on the events this week, I wanted to share this article, which I think is the best I've seen so far in an actual publication: https://blockclubchicago.org/2020/08/11/police-shot-a-black-man-in-englewood-then-misinformation-spread-like-wildfire/

https://www.cookedthefilm.com/ What I love about this movie is how it frames the #Chicago 1995 heat wave as not a natural disaster, how officials and media always portray it, but as a man-made disaster, because just like covid, the natural event exposed and exploited all the man-made problems in the city, and that is what caused most of the deaths. It was a mini-covid in so many ways, including using reefer trucks to store bodies.

Listen marketing people, we get that you are super into your "brand" and particular color hex code, but please just keep that to yourself.
