I know I’m not the first person to say it but the hyper commercialization of the Grinch story is pretty sad and a perfect illustration of the ability of capital to absorb critiques painlessly

(Ebenezer Scrooge on his way to debut his new “fun” persona to the family of the employee he’s impoverished:) Maybe I’ll razz Bob a little bit when I get there. I think we have that kind of relationship

“Gantchev suffered from type 2 diabetes and told his wife no diet accommodations were made for him. She and Anna said the small amount of food that is given to people detained at North Lake was not enough for maintaining Gantchev's blood sugar levels.”

Urbanists will talk about how cars are a machine that makes you selfish and crazy, and I know it’s easy to roll your eyes at that but if you give drivers the ability to comment they will say “yes I am selfish and crazy”

In lieu of elaborate means-tested standards or onerous top-down management, my proposal is simple: no one who is more famous than Druski is allowed to be in TV commercials. Druski's fine, I have no quarrel with him. Puddy from Seinfeld is probably below Druski now, he can stay. Chris Pratt must go.

This is a thread detailing a series of incidents where federal Judge Ellis rules that Gregory Bovino and his agents lied or misrepresented what was happening on the streets of Chicago. In this one, she says body cam footage suggests they brake checked to cause accidents

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Moreno González now describing the conditions in Broadview - he says there were at least 150 men in the area where he was held, but no beds. "There was nothing. They just had these chairs," he says through the interpreter.

A partial list of what Bovino does not have to tell a federal judge happened today: *An agent pushed a City Council member in Albany Park *Agents deployed pepper spray in Albany Park & Evanston *Agents were involved in a car crash in Evanston *An agent pointed a gun at a woman in Evanston

UPDATE: A hearing on a temporary restraining order in this case has been set for 3 p.m.

A federal judge on Friday ruled that a Mexican national whose arrest by immigration agents in Niles last weekend disrupted his 16-year-old daughter’s cancer treatment has been detained unlawfully and deserves a bond hearing.

It's not even 11am yet, and federal agents have gassed the northwest side of Chicago twice this morning. Just before 10, NWSRR reports they detained two people in Irving Park, one of them known to be a US citizen: www.instagram.com/p/DQPKhmDEd4W/

"Ruben Torres, 40, has no criminal record apart from minor traffic infractions, according to court records his attorney filed. He’s been his family’s sole provider, working for the same boss for 20 years"

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.
