[Mayor Brandon Johnson @ChicagosMayor]

We can't perfectly predict how an erratic and impulsive administration will act, so I am signing an executive order that directs all of our City's departments to protect Chicagoans and not collaborate with federal overreach.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Last night, @SenateDems were on the Senate floor fighting for working families one amendment at a time while Republicans struck down each one.
Their message was clear: Let’s give billionaires a tax break and have everyday Americans pay for it by slashing Medicaid, Social Security, vets’ benefits, and more.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

While Trump and Elon Musk take a chainsaw to vital services and rip away resources that millions of Americans rely on—

Musk himself is lining his pockets with new government contracts left and right.

Republicans' response? A budget that encourages this corrupt agenda.

You’re invited to join WLP tomorrow — with guest artist Rebecca Goldberg

[World Listening Project (WLP) @World_Listening]

You're invited to join us for our next Session on Listening -- "Field Recording and Electronic Music -- with Detroit-based sound artist Rebecca Goldberg: Tuesday, February 18th (11 pm UTC 0 / 5 pm UTC-6). Field recording in electronic music has roots dating back to the mid-20th century, with pioneers like Pierre Schaeffer and Delia Derbyshire integrating environmental sounds into experimental compositions. This practice highlights the difference between "hearing" (the passive reception of sounds) and "listening" (a more intentional, analytical engagement with those sounds), as it invites listeners to engage with soundscapes in a deeper, more conscious way. Field recordings also serve as an archive, preserving sounds of the natural world, urban environments, and cultural moments that might otherwise fade away. By combining the organic sounds of nature with synthetic or electronic processing, field recordings create a fusion of the natural and machine worlds, often blurring the boundaries between the two and inviting new sonic experiences. Register for this program at https://t.co/3Xy0ISExiC 

Les invitamos a unirse a nuestra próxima Sesión sobre Escucha - "Grabación de campo y música electrónica" - con la artista sonora de Detroit Rebecca Goldberg: martes 18 de febrero (11 pm UTC 0 / 5 pm UTC-6). La grabación de campo en la música electrónica tiene raíces que se remontan a mediados del siglo XX, con pioneros como Pierre Schaeffer y Delia Derbyshire que integraron sonidos ambientales en composiciones experimentales. Esta práctica resalta la diferencia entre "oír" (la recepción pasiva de sonidos) y "escuchar" (un compromiso más intencional y analítico con esos sonidos), ya que invita a los oyentes a interactuar con los paisajes sonoros de una manera más profunda y consciente. Las grabaciones de campo también sirven como un archivo, preservando sonidos del mundo natural, entornos urbanos y momentos culturales que de otra manera podrían desvanecerse. Al combinar los sonidos orgánicos de la naturaleza con el procesamiento sintético o electrónico, las grabaciones de campo crean una fusión de los mundos natural y de las máquinas, a menudo difuminando los límites entre los dos e invitando a nuevas experiencias sonoras. Visita https://t.co/3Xy0ISExiC para registrarte en este

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde: "When the President held up a Bible outside our church as if to claim the mantle of spiritual authority over what had just transpired, I knew that I had to speak. Nowhere does the Bible condone the use of violence against the innocent."
