1/ While federal courts weigh a technical question about whether a company polluting an Illinois river via groundwater violates the Clean Water Act, advocates have filed a new suit demanding immediate action to stop more coal ash from reaching the water. npr.org/local/309/2019…

I am careful about making assumptions about how people and groups are or are not connected. And so I ask for more information. That's what I did, and then posted (on twitter) the reactions in their entirety.

I posted that reaction & my observation of the presence of the group at the protest, on twitter. I later heard from Kevin Graham, he wrote: "I don't know who the "proud boys" are, therefore I have no statement." I updated my thread to include his comment.

(CONT'd)... I’m not sure we will be doing a story or not, and I know you don’t have complete control over who shows up, but wanted to see if you know they were there and if you had any reaction. Were you aware of this groups presence? Do you have any statement?

Yes. I did reach out. Here is the exact exchange (Forgive me, this will take a few tweets): Yesterday at the demo, I noticed some people who were wearing clothing associated with the “Proud Boys.”
One of them, I have now realized, was Tom Christensen (LINK TO ARTICLE).

The Illinois House of Representatives just approved the bill that would make Chicago's school board elected instead of appointed by the mayor. It passed 110-2. The Senate and governor still need to approve it

City spokesperson tells @WBEZ Chicago Law Dept. is drafting a civil lawsuit against Jussie Smollett. City says Smollett “refused” to pay $130k it demanded for costs associated with its investigation. City says it will file the suit “in the near future.”

It’s difficult to identify him by face or from the proud boys hat I saw him in from that picture. But you can identify the proud boys scarf. A self-identified member of the American guard is also posting pictures of himself online google.com/search?q=proud…

His hat said proud boys, and if you look closely at that picture you will see he is wearing a proud boys scarf.

Check out this thread from my colleague on @WBEZ's criminal justice team. This should not get lost in the #ChicagoMayoralElection shuffle twitter.com/shannon_h/stat…

My goal was to learn if they knew, and if they had thoughts on it.

I think this is a fair point. When I originally wrote I said: “I’m not sure we will be doing a story or not, and I know you don’t have complete control over who shows up, but wanted to see if you know they were there and if you had any reaction.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center designates the Proud Boys as a "hate group" You can read information about that here: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
