The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is far from over. Today, the Israeli government announced that it would suspend the aid work of several humanitarian organizations that provide lifesaving aid to Palestinians in Gaza living through what Amnesty International and other groups labeled as a genocide.

Our project, “Chicago Under Siege,” documents the fear people lived in, the ways they sought to organize and resist and the heartbreak they experienced under Operation Midway Blitz. blockclubchi.co/3Ye4GGa

Who agrees? ✋

Enjoying Pluribus because it tackles that far-fetched sci-fi concept 'What if everybody else has it together and I am a useless feral ghoul?'

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

if I were elected mayor of a city I too would insist that every ceremony took place in an abandoned tunnel or secret passage of some kind

This spectacular image of the planetary alignment of Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter above the Sydney Opera House was taken in the early morning around April 21, 2022, and featured as NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day on April 26, 2022

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

A long way to say, “He lied to the voters.”

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

My new review of "Constructing Disability After the Great War" by @evanpsullivan.bsky.social in the AHR -- a terrific work of #disabilityhistory @illinoispress.bsky.social

Filming them committing terrorism is now itself an act of terrorism?

Pretty sure it’s illegal to fuck with people’s mail and if you’re law enforcement you have to have a warrant to touch it.

Did anyone call the cops to try to have them arrested? I mean, even if I were a corrupt cop, I’d find this shit embarrassing and arrest them on principle.

Everyone looking for some Chicago Christmas history, from heart-warming to heartbreaking, check @backwardsriver.bsky.social tonight.

Think your mail is private? In Columbus, ICE is playing "Postmaster General."

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

"It's A Wonderful Life" isn't just a feel-good holiday classic (and my favorite movie of all time). It's also a warning about what happens when greed runs the economy.

Pope Leo decries leaders who invoke religion for violence and nationalism.

Merry Christmas and friendly reminder that Jesus was a brown, woke, anti-capitalist refugee from the Middle East who had two dads, became a rabbi, wore flowing dresses, ran around with sex workers, preached radical inclusion, railed against income inequality, and was brutally killed by the police.

As a recovering catholic, I can say that this is easily the coolest fucking priest I’ve ever seen.

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files. But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

We’re trying to imagine the Republican freakout if literally any of this was about Obama or Biden

Und im Übrigen bin ich der Meinung, die AFD muß verboten werden!

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I was fortunate to get a tour from her during the first week the Rosie the Riveter Home Front site opened. Her biography, Sign My Name To Freedom, is awesome. What a life.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...
