Pilsen PUÑO has issued a community wide alert urging vulnerable residents in Pilsen and Little Village to shelter in place due to heavy ICE activity.

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

Unironically an all-timer performance. RIP.

About to be a lot of sandwich based crimes going forward. Be careful everyone.

Gonna need yall to cool it on Pritzker glazing so long as he's letting ICE steal kids and teachers outta classrooms

More of us

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Illinois passed the Illinois Bivens Act, which allows folks to sue ICE officers who violate their rights. “damages can increase based on various factors … including the use of facial coverings, crowd control measures like tear gas, vehicles with a non-Illinois license plate or no license plate…”

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

I find it immensely heartening that so many normal people are seeing and defying the obscenity of what ICE/CBP is trying to do in Chicago, but stories like this also make clear how much more disciplined those people are than the state violence worker guys. www.reuters.com/world/us/wer...

The Yotei Six are very bad guys. Nasty guys. They will know my blade.

Yup

look at this little twerp

to understand the situation in Chicago I recommend listening to this piece which has a CHILD talking about the TEAR GAS they encountered en route to a HALLOWEEN PARADE www.wbez.org/public-safet...

kristi noem promised federal agents would continue to terrorize chicagoland—and that’s exactly what they’re doing. border patrol/ice currently rolling through the city’s northwest side. reports of abductions in albany park earlier this morning.

Such a relief my god

Chicagoans continue to run out of their homes to confront ICE, guard schools and churches, buy out street vendors so they can stay home, and grocery-shop for vulnerable families. The people are what makes us a sanctuary city. Whenever I start to despair, I try to remember that

Furthermore public transit teaches you how to live with temporary minor annoyances and cars teach you that you're god's most special baby and your moment-to-moment comfort is the only important thing in the world

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

So proud of my city. 👊❤️ (Albany Park is a diverse neighborhood on the northwest side of Chicago.) * Continuing to fight the "Chicago is a hellhole" narrative: I saw this because I biked a few miles to a lovely chocolate cafe on a gorgeous fall day where the leaves were starting to turn golden.

been thinking about this a lot lately

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

If the stuff happening in Chicago were happening in New York City it would be on every television on earth right now

Happy Friday to you guys

IL Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias recently announced a new IL hotline to report illegal license plates swapping, motivated by a recent video where an ICE agent admitted that they swap them out daily. Below is the new hotline number and email.

While the meaning of the idiom “don’t judge a book by its cover” is obviously pure and correct, evaluating a book’s cover can be a valid way to get an aesthetic vibe when making a purchasing decision

I hate when people say shit like “whatever you feel about AI it’s here to say” like that’s not the levelheaded nuanced take you think it is. it just tells me that you have no pattern recognition and also don’t give a fuck about the environment

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

🔥 As you may have seen, in recent days, I've been going to the Broadview ICE facility near where I live. For @vanityfair.com I wrote about those protests & the hell that the Chicago area is being put through thanks to ICE/DHS. I hope you'll read this & share it. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Trinket Studios are true stewards and great representatives everything the Chicago indie game scene values. Lotta heart. A communal effort. Pragmatic and optimistic in equal parts. So give their new game a shot! (ps it’s also my game credit debut!)

This post is dangerously close to escaping containment, so I'll just say that this was *obviously* sarcastic and designed to highlight the fact that Chicago can not be the best big city in America AND the war zone that Patel and Trump believe it to be Read the room ❤️
