The destruction of US science will be felt worldwide for decades. Take it from @msier.bsky.social, who was the lead program director for the Biological Oceanography program at the US National Science Foundation.

Between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com?utm_source=i...

$1,800 to go and the night is young! Come on, internet, we can do this. Scarleteen's sex ed and direct services are essential in an era of misinformation and they require real humans who bring years of experience and compassion to their work. Health educators should have access to health care.

Happy #ManholeCoverMonday! From Santiago, Chile

Love this so much. 💜

Doing one of those earnest posts where we kindly remind you that we lost half our operating budget over the summer, and that we're looking for ways to keep this whole thing going, and that if you like what we do or that we exist, the best thing you could possibly do to support us is to subscribe

Also in here: DHS responded to the faith-led protest yesterday, calling participants “violent rioters” and “imbecilic morons” who need to “get a job.” Asked about the statement, one UMC pastor who participated in the protest told me: "This is our job." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

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."

1 car per household limit and you need to apply for a permit proving a legitimate need to get anything larger than a 4-door sedan

I want to quit my job to run a tiny shop that specializes only in selling one kind of thing well, from budget options up to the priciest and fanciest types. That's the dream

I love this zine. Need to distrubute more copies in my local little libraries soon

Democrats are on a wild streak of radicalizing liberals by demonstrating that in its current form their party is either uninterested in or incapable of protecting people’s lives.

Transit employees protect and serve by orders of magnitude more than the police ever have, and our society is overdue for a realignment in understanding of who the protectors & servants are and who deserves broadly-applied praise for fulfilling those roles.

And then he shoves all his chips into the pot.

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Tonight was the inaugural ride of our new home buyout program. We connect with vendors too scared to be out, and we purchase from them at home. Tonight we bought 250 tamales, divided into 3 teams to deliver all over the city to folks on the street, Love Fridges, and a youth shelter.

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

In my professional capacity I do need to point out that this is in fact by some of the ogs of this genre - schmoyoho/Gregory Brothers/AutoTune the News.

Omg digital city map 😍 are they hiring for that work yet?!

cultivate a single civic virtue instead of posting your goddamn feelings put money in the hat, you can sadpost once for every $100

Growing up in this type of hell I always think this is common knowledge, so I am continuously surprised when it turns out this is not more widely known. Noah is right! Charity empowers these groups to decide who gets resources and more importantly, what those people have to *do* to get help.

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself. Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

This suuuuucks Our fans also really suck, goddamn #cf97

BIGGEST STATE LEVEL CLIMATE ACTION OF 2025 👇👇👇👇👇

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Good morning! We need to get 80 subscriptions a day until Monday to reach our goal. Will you consider being our first today, with 15% off our regular pricing? the-flytrap.ghost.io/feminist

Independent outlets like @southsideweekly.bsky.social, @thetriibe.com, @unraveledpress.com and @blockclubchi.bsky.social are doing a TERRIFIC job reporting on what's currently happening in Chicago. Folks should support and follow them.

please project your maps of Chicago in SRID/EPSG 3435

The time of dank Pritzker memes long since passed, if you can't get transit, something fundamentally important for the biggest economic engine of your state, done when your party has all the cards and power then how the fuck are you gonna handle opposition in your hypothetical presidency? Terrible

Let them hear from you! 🗣️

If Pritzker screws up the transit bill, he may still be reelected Governor but he's never going to be President

The way i sprinted to the Nebula app so fast 💨

There is a very important community meeting tonight about Foundry Park (aka Lincoln Yards). At stake is 2,800 new homes. NIMBYs will be out in full force. Alderman Waguespack usually does whatever they tell him to do for this stuff. Please attend!! 📍 WhirlyBall Chicago 📆 Wednesday Oct 29 6-8pm

We designed a beautiful calendar to fundraise for Sojourners for Justice Press. Pre-orders end on Nov 16 so get yours soon. sojourners4justice.press/calendar/ - It will only be available through pre-orders cuz we're too broke to print it otherwise, lol.

Oh nooooo what the fuck 😨

Poet @joseolivarez.bsky.social reacts to the immigration crackdown in his hometown the way he knows best: through verse.

Chicago journalists are doing a remarkable job staying on top of this story. @jonseidel.bsky.social of @chicago.suntimes.com is one of many. Follow him if you don't already:

"ICE" is often used as a catch-all in casual conversation, but CBP are the ones who've been tear gassing neighborhoods. They're the ones who shot a community member in Brighton Park. They're the ones who paraded around the Loop with a camera crew. Making ICE operate more like CBP could be horrific.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Proud to announce the inaugural dispatch of SILLY PRIZES, wherein I do a deep dive into the recently revealed finances of the ChicagoRED PAC and expose some of their most egregious mistakes: sillyprizes.beehiiv.com/p/a-reckonin...

Since we’ve outstripped our costs to date, I’m happy to help anyone who’s starting up a whistle event in Chicago with supplies and any comms or logistics support they need. It’ll be your party, but I’ll help you make it happen! gofund.me/01742db4b

The people on this airplane have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice that Donald Trump will never understand. They are NOAA employees flying their plane through the middle of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa south of Jamaica. And they aren't getting paid. I wish them safe flying and a safe return

This Rollercoaster Tycoon video is an actual work of emotionally-gripping mad genius

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

This first half was annoying tbh 😵‍💫 Need some better chances for the Fire to open this game up. And some better reffing but I'm not holding my breath... #cf97 #mls
