The Sun-Times Guild and WBEZ’s SAG-AFTRA are UNION STRONG in our fights for a fair contract.

We stand together in our respective fights for the pay, protections and assurances the union workers who bring you Chicago’s headlines — online, on the radio and in print — deserve.

Really important story ICYMI last week:

[Laura N. Rodríguez Presa @LAURA_N_ROD]

A column to read today:

He gave me a home. ICE took his: How I lost my father to deportation

“As a Latina and the oldest daughter of three, guilt is something I often carry.

Like most children of immigrants, I shoulder the expectation to make my parents’ sacrifices and migration to this country worth it.

Many of us grow up watching our fathers come home in dirty clothes. Sometimes we see them for a few hours at night before going to bed. Manual labor, along with the multiple jobs many fathers and mothers take on, becomes the language of love, a warm security blanket that ensures we may have what they never did.” — Vanessa writes.

Please consider donating to support Jim Rodenbush, our beloved former director of student media who Indiana University unjustly fired last week after he refused to censor the student newspaper.

Even if you aren’t able to donate, please share widely!! https://t.co/OQYpQ4y76k

Indiana University, seemingly unaware that the overwhelming majority of its successful journalism alumni learned far more at the IDS than in classrooms, got their feelings hurt and cut print funding to its best development tool

2025, man

south koreas intensely disliked corrupt incel president declares martial law to root out “north korean communist elements” (his opposition is simply liberal)

[Raphael Rashid @koryodynasty]

Older generation Koreans who have lived through dictatorships and martial laws are in disbelief that this could happen again, in 2024.

Save A Lot operator Yellow Banana is set to get $13M in city $$ after promising to help underserved, low-food access communities.

But w/7 months left, YB has $1M in active lawsuits, taxes + debts. They've closed 40% of stores and given up control of the rest, leaving just 1 open

All week, but particularly last night, there was a palpable contrast between the DNC party celebrating Kamala Harris at the United Center and the thousands in Chicago chanting about genocide blocks away, trying to get the Democrats’ attention. https://t.co/ImrBCmYH1S
