One thing I did enjoy about briefly living in Texas was that free chips and salsa is a given. Chicago I’d say maybe 25% offer it. Less than that?

That's funny because I feel the same way about smart and well-intentioned people falling for a scam being perpetrated by Silicon Valley guys who have done nothing but run scams that made them rich after the tech press told everyone that these guys were geniuses.

This week Chicago City Council unanimously passed a resolution honoring Chicago's rapid response networks and other Chicagoans who stepped up to respond to Operation Midway Blitz
WHEREAS, on September 8, 2025, the Trump Administration launched “Operation 
Midway Blitz,” unleashing a militarized immigration enforcement campaign across Chicago and 
the surrounding region that brought masked and heavily armed federal agents into our 
neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, commercial corridors and public spaces; and
WHEREAS, during Operation Midway Blitz, federal agents conducted warrantless 
arrests and discriminatory stops, deployed chemical agents in residential neighborhoods, 
engaged in dangerous vehicle pursuits, used extreme physical force, and carried out 
enforcement operations that spread fear and chaos throughout Chicago; and
WHEREAS, federal agents operated in masks and military-style gear, traveled in 
unmarked vehicles, and used tactics that made parents afraid to take their children to school, 
seniors afraid to seek medical care, workers afraid to report to their jobs, families afraid to shop 
for groceries, and residents afraid to simply walk the streets of the neighborhoods they call 
home; and
WHEREAS, in the face of this campaign of fear, Chicagoans refused to surrender their 
communities or their values; and
WHEREAS, across communities throughout Chicago, residents built rapid-response 
networks to bear witness to the actions of federal agents; and
WHEREAS, Rapid Responders woke before dawn and stayed out late into the night, 
lawfully patrolling neighborhood streets, monitoring federal activity, staffing hotlines and 
communications networks, verifying reports of immigration agents, documenting enforcement 
actions, and recording badge numbers and license plates; and
WHEREAS, in communities across Chicago, residents transformed the simple act of 
blowing an orange whistle into a declaration that no Chicagoan would be taken from our streets 
without their neighbors bearing witness; and
WHEREAS, Rapid Responders and community members continued this work even as 
observers, protesters, journalists and res…WHEREAS, Chicago's resistance did not end at the boundaries of our City, as the 
whistles, rapid-response networks, school escorts, neighborhood patrols and other strategies 
developed and strengthened here became a model for communities confronting unlawful 
immigration enforcement across the country; and
WHEREAS, Chicago is a city built by immigrants and working people, and our immigrant 
neighbors are not outsiders to be feared or political pawns to be exploited, but our coworkers, 
classmates, congregants, business owners, caregivers, friends and family members who make 
Chicago the city that it is; and
WHEREAS, at a moment when cruelty was intended to produce fear and fear was 
intended to produce silence, Chicago's Rapid Responders chose courage, solidarity and action; 
and
WHEREAS, Rapid Responders represent the best of Chicago— a city that protects its 
communities, stands up to injustice, refuses to be divided by race, birthplace or immigration 
status, and understands that our collective safety depends upon our willingness to fight for one 
another; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of 
Chicago, assembled this 23rd day of September, 2026, honor and express our profound 
gratitude to Chicago’s Rapid Responders and the thousands of residents, community 
organizations, faith institutions, legal advocates, neighborhood businesses and mutual-aid 
networks that lawfully protected and supported immigrant communities during Operation 
Midway Blitz; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Chicago recognizes the extraordinary 
courage of those who put their own safety at risk to bear witness, sound the alarm, document 
abuses, accompany their neighbors and ensure that immigrant families knew they were not 
alone; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we commit to remembering not only what was done 
to Chicago during Operation Midway Blitz, but what Chicagoans did for one another i…

Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
