They were being *subtle* in honor of Father's Day. (Catdads are dads too.)

Hi Slarti -- See where the river curves to the right in the pic? Just across the river is Trump Tower Chicago, which would be a fine building except for, well, that. People *love* to give that building the finger from the Wacker Drive side, where all the marchers are. How many fingers today? 🌞

It is crazy how patriot-pilled the silent generation and the later parts of the boomers are. Genuinely kind of inspiring to see some of the crowd who grew up in the 60s return to form.

GOP thinking they could just gut Social Security and Medicare with no consequences was a massive own goal. Old people vote.

We had heard of an arrest downtown earlier, but weren't sure if it was protest related.
Yikes:

Our observer is across the street but it sounds like the crowd has thinned out some, and folks on the ground are reporting being able to leave freely.

(from source) Neighbors nearby say they can't get through/there's at least one total pedestrian police blockade.

Sure sounds like: things were fine all day, then CPD got twitchy about people being in the street near the ICE office and responded as they do when many of the cameras leave which is to say, physically assaulting people and kettling them.

We're hearing that (and have been sent photos of) police are kettling some of the protesters in the entrance of the building, things are tense.
