god what a crazy fucking day.
god what a crazy fucking day.
Of all the kids on Halloween I love the surley teens with their backpacks on the front the most. Get your candy kids, don’t say thanks, the night is yours.
Today in Evanston: helicopters overhead constantly, ICE jumping out across the entire town, people getting snatched outside of schools, a guns-drawn confrontation at an intersection after hitting a car, schools on soft lockdown, and they’re STILL roaming around in full tactical gear.
ICE marauding around Evanston all day, snatching people near schools, all schools on soft lockdown, on fucking Halloween. 🖕🖕
Happy Halloween, from 1925. dansinker.com/posts/202…
Maybe there’s some 4D chess to starving 40 million Americans, doubling healthcare costs on another 20 million, and sending masked goons out on the streets to snatch and disappear an untold number more, but honestly I’m not seeing it.
Recently I’ve been combing through newspapers from a hundred years ago, and in the spirit of the season (and in the spirit of procrastination) I’ve assembled a little gallery of Halloween advertisements from 1925 on my site: dansinker.com/posts/202…
Fun new game I get to play every day: leaf blower, train, or fascist helicopter.
ICE all over north Evanston and Wilmette snatching landscapers this afternoon.
It’s me, I’m She’s. 
Sometimes I think about how maybe these guys are the Titanic and Chicago’s gonna the the fucking iceberg.
In better news I got to go to the GWAR exhibit in LA and it’s such an incredible testament to their… uh… unique artistic vision.
ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…
Taking a break from hell to share my breakfast tacos.
Helped two teens who were hiding from ICE this morning after a third had been snatched on Oakton in Evanston. They’re safe, half dozen community members responded. Adrenaline crash happening now.
I know it’s not exactly the point but like… Someone just rented an excavator and… drove it to the White House? And someone else said “Great, the excavator’s here” and was like “Just rip down that wall, don’t worry about the windows or anything, just maximum ripping please.”
Probably not great to have pretty much every major site on the internet running through Amazon’s Virginia infrastructure. downdetector.com
Gave away a bagful of ICE whistles at the Evanston No Kings.
If you’re looking for ICE whistles, can confirm that these Shein-supplied ones come without tariffs, in less than a week, and cost $6 for 20 m.shein.com/us/20-Eme…
Hey it’s Friday afternoon, how about signing up to get my writing sent to your inbox. It’s free, it’s good, and I’d love if you did. dansinker.com/follow/
I am never ever fucking EVER getting over these fuckers just driving around snatching our neighbors off the street.
I wrote a little bit about the 400th episode of Says Who podcast, a show that was supposed to last 8 episodes, and the power of making things with your friends. dansinker.com/posts/202…
A problem with researching stuff from 100 years ago is that I get very easily distracted by all the ads in newspapers. 
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.
Full ICE whistle assembly line over here.
