Is the $2000 dividend in the room with us now Scott?

"It’s an epidemic of violence against Native women, Native people. If you want to solve a problem, you first have to see it and understand it, and that’s what that work was all about."

I actually think it's funny they used "Operation Charlotte's Web." The smart female protecting her home wins. It's about solidarity. The vicious murderers are thwarted by creativity. Are none of these goons literate, even at a third grade level?

I’m volunteering for @drakefor10.bsky.social shares my ideals about housing supply and affordability and that Cook County can take a larger role in impacting both of those

My fellow white people: We are responsible for, and the benefactors of, most of the racist systems of oppression in this country. It is therefore our responsibility to dismantle them. That requires you to understand them and recognize the ways they are deeply integrated in our daily lives.

PSA: Laser printer toner is particulate matter NOT fluid. If you spill some it will fly like dust but land looking like a liquid. DO NOT GET IT WET. That will set it into things. Vacuum it.

too real lol

Lotta MTG sounding almost reasonable going around today, so before anyone starts truly pondering the possibilities, please make sure THIS clip from the interview gets around, too

These motherfuckers moved to Charlotte and immediately started the same shit they've been up to here

Guys, I know this is at least partially algorithmic but I think the fact that Entertainment Weekly is actually talking about Hasan Piker at all is a big fucking deal about where our culture is right now.

Has anyone noticed they're trying to do the Haymarket cop riot again

Literally insane that it took this long for Dasha to get recognized as the Nazi trash she is. I’m still blown away by how many “leftists” bought into her shit as well. But I’m glad that normalizing Fuentes has turned out to be a bridge too far for many folks. Thank dog. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Anyone know how to contact the Vatican PR Office? I have a question.

I mean…

defying my own bio and putting a Discourse Nugget on the timeline, my most woke opinion is that everyone should get SNAP (as a way of opening up the possibility of universal basic income). SNAP fucking works to keep people fed! working at a food bank at the beginning of the pandemic radicalized me!

I just saw someone describe David Byrne as ‘like the Wiggles for Adults’ and I can’t unsee the similarities now.

Currently seated

Would you believe me if I told you it got so much worse from there

It takes years of public meetings and debate for citizens to get a sparse few concrete barriers to protect cyclists, but it can be done on a whim to protect state sponsored torturers.

This man is openly auditioning for Jerome Powell’s job

"Our actions are working, and they are not enough. Nothing we do is sufficient, and everything we do matters. We must be strategic, and we must operate on multiple fronts simultaneously. Time is of the essence, and we have to act for the long haul. This is how change happens." Dan Berger

There’s nothing in the rule book that says a dog can’t shoot a man.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

16 out of 614. They arrested ~16 people with criminal records. They terrorized thousands, brutalized protesters, destroyed families, cratered businesses, tear-gassed a Halloween parade, traumatized kids in a day care, killed a man, & pepper sprayed a baby… for 16 people with criminal records.

Illinois when

Chicago, let’s preemptively make this illegal, okay?

So we sing to our kid every night and I kiddo absolutely loves new songs and I’m just now realizing I have the opportunity to raise them on American folk songs. (And when they’re a little older maybe even murder ballads. If they’re into it.)

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

Today in: Things that should absolutely be illegal for multiple reasons…

Casual reminder that we know from declassified documents that NY Times journalists were used as part of Operation Mockingbird and we do not have any evidence that said operation ever ended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

Maybe this bonk on the head will set him back to the good Fetterman like an old Hannah-Barbera cartoon.

Starbucks baristas are on strike and the No Kings Alliance stands with them. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Power belongs to the people who make this country run: nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge #NoContractNoCoffee #NoKings

Statistically someone you love is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Chances are if you can’t think of anyone, it’s probably because they don’t feel safe telling you. Consider this before making your jokes about the Epstein shit.

Trying to launder pedophilia like this is disgusting. Yes, surely the younger the age the more horrific it is, but in no humane world is a a man who has sex with a 15 year old not a pedophile. And the culture that portrays and sensationalizes children as ‘barely legal’ like that is deeply sick.

New: Diana Santillana Galeano, whom federal immigration agents dragged out of a Rayito del Sol daycare on Chicago's north side last week, has been released from federal custody, the law firm HSPRD announced Thursday. The release states she will meet with Rayito del Sol parents on Friday.

Spoilery thoughts on ‘Bugonia.’ Definitely influenced by @vickyacab.bsky.social’s critique of it as well as having listened to way too much QAA podcast. boxd.it/bHtXh9

This is a dumb gimmick that will get heavy usage for a brief period, users will lose interest quickly and it’ll cost Disney more than it’s worth, both in server usages and in the relationships it will damage with voice actors and animators.

Saw ‘Bugonia’ last night. A very good, but deeply irresponsible movie to make in these times.

Alderman Brendan Reilly voted to have CPD collaborate with ICE and he wants your vote for Cook County Commissioner.

Of all of the things I expected could be lurking in the Epstein files I did not expect that we’d find out that the President was dumb enough to have visited him while in office.

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

the man has admitted to sexually assaulting people and was legally proven by a court of law to be sexually assaulting people (a notoriously hard thing to do) but I’m sure this new evidence that he was sexually assaulting people will really wake up the base. It’ll be our lucky sexual assault evidence

Chicago is a safe haven for many looking to flee oppressive political climates of other regions. We need to keep it strong, and we need to keep it affordable. Listen to the rest of my time on Infill: A YIMBY Podcast below. open.spotify.com/episode/7yBe...

FULL STORY: Chicago's treasurer announced Wednesday that the city will no longer invest in U.S. Treasury securities to protest the aggressive federal immigration raids in Chicago and what she called the Trump administration’s “authoritarian regime.” @wttw.bsky.social news.wttw.com/2025/11/12/c...

“America is sleepwalking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anybody out there that is a member of a labor union that is safe and doesn’t think this applies to you, he’s coming for you. They’re coming for you.” inthesetimes.com/article/drop...

It’s good when social media platforms don’t allow death threats actually. Joking or otherwise.

I want to restate something I said in a lot of replies yesterday, which is that this move is not going to reduce replies yelling at the Bsky team—and that should not be the goal. What it does is clarify how moderation works here so that people can assess that and act accordingly.

i know a lot of people have valid concerns about the mods here but you simply cannot be mad that they don't allow death threats lol
