"Oh yeah? You like baseball? What if I make you smoke *an entire pack* of baseball?"

New baseball rule: after the 14th inning, no gloves.

The ending we deserve

So proud to be a part of this film.

Pretty sure we’re living one

ICE agents turn out to have a real problem with telling the truth. Their attempted prosecutions of protestors keep falling apart every day in federal court in Chicago, when video tapes are reviewed showing that their claims about what happened are, quite simply, shameless lies.

It’s very much Not Great to have GOP leadership describe a planned non violent march as being in service a the “terrorist wing”

Curious to see if @startribune.com will cover Emmer calling peaceful protestors (and Democrats) terrorists, or nah

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party. Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

"What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid."

“I’ll kill you in front of your students.” This is just one of the death threats that has driven @mark-bray.bsky.social to try and flee the US. But at the airport last night, after checking in and clearing security, his booking mysteriously disappeared www.wired.com/story/mark-b...

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.” ⚓️

Today is a great day to see ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

strib will never cover the money and power like this because strib are the money and power

Andre Vazquez, my heroic Chicago alderperson, just now to a thousand neighbors gathered to train in community defense: "The 'middle' is what got us here."

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

The rumors are true: Boneshaker is headed to a new location! We need your help to dig up our bones and move on over to 26th and Lyndale. We're hoping to raise $15,000 total, $6k of that by 10/17. Learn more at bit.ly/boneshakermove and thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

One Battle After Another is a gorgeous, important film — not only for its message but for giving film bros a new lazy Halloween costume

Everyone bends the knee eventually

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

This was for an immigration raid of an apartment building.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

8-year old Dasha Ramirez was playing with her brother at Millennium Park when Border Patrol took them. They’re now awaiting deportation to Guatemala. “We never imagined our Sunday would end this way, mother Noemi Chavez said. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/29/i...

Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us. Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

Gonna re-up this all weekend as more of you see ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (please go see ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER)

Since Trump is hawking snake oil med beds, check out this heartbreaking story by @elisaslow.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2024/07/28/u...

Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!” Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now. What are we doing about this? It MUST stop. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

According to data from Ice, we passed a significant milestone. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group arrested and booked into detention by Ice.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

This is the US government using children as hostages to detain immigrants.

hey, Wild Faith has sold 21,000 copies! that is pretty neat. 21,000 people more informed about what christofascism looks like and its impact on women and children join the knowledge elite here 🧿👁️: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

In Chicago residents are turning to the oldest of old-school tools to alert their neighbors of nearby ICE agents: whistles. “People could hear that noise, and if they don’t have legal status, go the other way.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/17/i...

Our state fair is a great state fair don’t miss it don’t even be late (This is such a lovely piece on finding home and also Minnesota. I want to go to a state fair.)
