As is becoming increasingly evident,
the actions surrounding NATO add up to a perpetual protest. There's
no beginning or end, with shit popping from activist crash pads to
streets across the city, where clashes with police are getting more
frequent and more intense around every corner. In the past few days
I've had countless conversations with journalists, Occupiers, and
every type of reporter and aggregator in-between about how most of us
won't be able to file extensive accounts until things slow down a
bit, since every second spent writing inside is a second that we
could and should be documenting from the front lines.
With that in mind, here are 99 Twitter
feeds of writers, livestreamers, activists, and photographers who
together account for a vivid and detailed look at the non-stop state-sponsored
mayhem in Chicago (along with some pics from yesterday to spice
things up). If I left you out and you're knee-deep in the scrum,
please add your handle in the comment section. And if you're a
conservative troll who's sitting behind your laptop and talking trash
while the rest of us pound the concrete, go fuck yourself. To
everyone else – good luck out there. I'm @FARA1. See you all
downtown.
