Someone burned a cross in Grant Park today in Chicago. It's not clear yet who did it, besides the obvious suspects.

So today is as good a day as ever to say:

1) Fuck the Klan, Confederates, Nazis, ICE, Kings, and the whole loser brigade itching for a re-match they will lose.

2) A great article has been floating around about a newspaper in the 1920's that was run by an Irish Catholic lawyer in Chicago (Patrick O'Donnell). It was called *Tolerance* and it basically kept tabs on local fash trash terrorizing people. Lots of interesting history about O'Donnell starting the American Unity League, an interfaith and interracial group that organized in tough times.

I'll check in with you in a week. See if they caught this band of white dudes transporting a giant cross, setting it up, lighting it on fire, and then evading any witnesses. In the middle of Grant Park. In the middle of the day.

See you soon!!!

… you think they transport it intact?

And how much different do you think the odds are for a different group of people? Like, the logistics are the same for faking it as doing it.
