One of the great storylines of my generation is that of the London Blitz. So many news events, novels, and movies impressed upon me who was heroic and why. British resistance rang true.
I know this is a stretch, but Chicago's resistance to ICE seems like our version of the blitz. Today's bombshelters are the homes and schools where the targeted huddle with their families for protection. Neighbors bring them food. Today's air raid wardens are the concerned people who blow their whistles to sound the alarm. The news from Chicago is an inspiration to the places across the country not yet attacked.
Chicago: This is our finest hour.
