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. https://dansinker.com/posts/2025-10-24-understand/

This is stupid, even though I have CBS over-the-air locally and I pay for Paramount+ Essential plan I cannot watch the Thorns match because it requires I upgrade my subscription. Ugh, no thank you. I'll just pirate it next time. You make this too difficult NWSL. #baonpdx #nwsl
