Not since I learned that Santa Clause wasn't real have I felt a need to uncover and expose a conspiracy of betrayal. Let's talk about the Asylum Seekers being shipped to Chicago.
They are Asylum Seekers. Not Migrants, not immigrants, not undocumented, not illegals. The US government has worked to destabilize certain South American administrations and contributed to this situation.
I am asking everyone in this SANCTUARY City to think about how awful your life would have to be for you to pack up your family and the belonging that you can carry to go to a country where your primary language isn't spoken

Some of us are recent graduates of Hyde Park academy &/or live in Woodlawn so we were proud to join @STOPChicago in supporting students who want #PoliceFreeSchools
#CopsOutCPS

a thread: 🧵🪡👇🏾 twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
As a concession because of the strong organizing here in #Chicago by @StuStrikeBack @STOPChicago @BPNCchicago & so many more to get #CopsOutCPS, CPS decided to allow LCS members vote to keep or fire SRO’s in each respective school. Hyde Park Academy already voted out one SRO… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Sadly this week the LSC voted to keep their remaining SRO despite all of the students giving strong & rational reasons as to why they rather use the $80K, used for the cop, to instead go towards programming & restorative justice in their school. The LSC didn’t listen & here’s why twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

60/Green: a call of a person shot, the concerned citizen says he heard a gunshot and there's a male down on the ground, caller believes he's shot, the male is unconscious, EMS is rolling. #Chicago #ChicagoScanner
it appears to be some kind of domestic, the offender went over to his ex-girlfriend's house and attempted to kick in the door, it's possible the girlfriend's boyfriend shot him and fled.

keep a ear out for anybody else getting dropped off, one of the shooters may have gotten shot.

per the POD, "the shooter actually fell out of the car while it was moving as he was shooting so he's probably going to be leaking."

Disturbios de adolescentes. Algo está pasando en Chicago (Y en EEUU). Al hilo:
Según Ernesto González, cofundador de Urban Warriors, este problema se debe, en parte, a la falta de opciones y espacios para los adolescentes. Image
"Ser joven no significa vandalizar, pero sí es tener las opciones. En las últimas dos o tres décadas no hemos invertido en ellos".

Algunos niños saltaron de un lado a otro de coches, rompieron ventanas e incluso golpearon a los pasajeros que iban dentro.
El senador estatal de Chicago, Robert Peters, defiende los disturbios y saqueos de los adolescentes. Es una protesta masiva. Lo llama declaración y acto político contra la pobreza y la segregación.

Sigue el ciclo #EnsillArte, sobre la #silla como objeto del #arte, para el #TwitterCultural.

El de la foto es #LeCorbusier, gran genio de la #arquitectura, sentado en una silla #Thonet.

Dijo de esta silla: "Nunca se ha creado algo más elegante y mejor concebido".

Te cuento⬇️
Para ser exactos #LeCorbusier dijo: "Nunca se ha creado algo más elegante y mejor concebido, más preciso en su construcción y más excelentemente funcional".

Se refería a la silla modelo N⁰ 14 de #Thonet, una como ésta, que se hizo famosa en cafés y restaurantes.

Sigue⬇️
Aunque en la foto el arquitecto se sienta sobre un modelo N⁰ 209 de #Thonet, una como ésta, parecida pero de respaldo más bajo y más ancho, reconvertido en reposabrazos.

Todas estas #Thonet son comodísimas, muy resistentes, bellas en su simplicidad.

What comes after neoliberalism? "There is no alternative" is really a demand, namely, "Stop trying to think of an alternative!"
