As population growth in the nation's largest counties rebounded in 2022, Illinois continued to see population losses. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Vintage 2022 estimates, 92 of Illinois' 102 counties lost residents from July 2021 to July of last year. Cook County lost a staggering 68,314 people, the second highest total by number in the country behind only Los Angeles County. Defense attorney Scott Lassar opened his cross-examination of prosecution star witness Fidel Marquez on Wednesday in the second week of the “ComEd Four” corruption trial by directly asking him if he had ever witnessed alleged plot ringleader Mike Madigan directly pass or block legislation on the utility giant's behalf. With about a week before Chicago voters choose a new mayor, a new poll shows Paul Vallas with a 5-point lead over Brandon Johnson. The WGN-TV poll shows Vallas at 46% to Johnson's 41%, with 13% of likely voters still undecided. Vallas has built an advantage among older voters. The former CEO of Chicago Public Schools and budget director for Mayor Richard M. Daley has the backing of just over 50% of likely voters 65 and older. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/illinois-in-focus/support

BrownTown again invites Hannah Linsky (she/her), vintage stylist, seller, educator, and liver and breather of all things fashion to unpack the politics of dress. In part 2, the friends go macro and discuss fashion within current and historical social movements and its impact on policy and popular culture. From Scottish Resistance to the Black Panthers to Iran's Hijab Protest Movement and everything in between, we understand that dress communicates strong cultural messages. Though often created out of specific contexts, these stylings last generations, travel across cultures, and make us investigate our notions of respectability, autonomy, and mobilization. “If fashion resists power, it is also a compelling form of it,” (Tansy Hoskins). Listen to Episode 85, Part 1! GUEST: Hannah Linsky is a vintage stylist, seller, occasional model and avid collector. She lives and breathes fashion and loves playing dress up almost as much as she loves talking fashion. She is a recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she earned her Master's in Art Education. Her work Revolutionary Dress (site, Instagram) centers around examining historical movements through the lens of dress."Past social and political movements provide a basis for conversations about race, class, gender, sexuality, ability and culture, while dress acts as a vehicle to move the conversations from past events to the personal, present and future. Learning about the power of dress in historical movements allows for a wide range of new material to supplement common subjects already covered in educational spaces. It opens up space for discussions about social structures, culture and self-reflection."  -RevDress Mentioned in episode:Hoda Katebi's Work -- Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Websiteon WGN-TV,  "You don't sound American"on France's hijab ban and the Iran hijab protests (1, 2)2016: Beyoncé at 2016 Super Bowl and #RememberRekia Action in ChicagoNWA, Los Angeles Raiders, and the Straight Outta LA documentary (1, 2, 3)SoapBox's What's Beef? documentary on neoliberalism, gangsta rap, and NWAMexican RebozoPunk Attitude documentary and Pistol TV Miniseries CREDITS: Intro soundbite from Hoda Katebi on WGN-TV.
