The Bears head into a bye week as a non-disaster. It beats the heck out of the alternative. Column: chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/0...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker accused President Donald Trump of following an authoritarian playbook by silencing his opponents and urged Americans to “write letters, write e-mails, post online, speak up [and] protest” ABC’s decision to fire Jimmy Kimmel.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

After Trump’s FCC chair, demanded ABC take action against against Kimmel for his comments on Kirk, Nexstar, the largest operator of ABC affiliates announced it would pull Kimmel from its stations Then ABC said it was taking Kimmel off the air Nexstar is seeking FCC approval for a $6.2B merger

In case you don’t know what the Reichstag Fire was or why it’s relevant now, it was an incident soon after Hitler became chancellor that he used as a pretext to destroy civil rights and seize total power. Some folks think Trump is using the Charlie Kirk murder the way Hitler used the Reichstag Fire.

The idea of a “liberal media“ is a myth. Corporate owners keep silencing voices of dissent to suck up to the fascist leader.

Will Bears' NFC North nightmare ever end? Not this season, it won't chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/0...

Agreed.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

From "What to do if ICE comes to your workplace?" to "What parents should know about sending kids to school?" here's what you need to know about immigration enforcement in Chicago.

Right-wing internet personality Ben Bergquam filmed outside of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s home and invited his followers to “take action” after the recent murder of Charlie Kirk, sparking concerns for the Democratic governor’s safety. trib.al/GBg2lS1

The murder of Charlie Kirk is terrible for our country. Violence is not the answer. To learn from this, let's not fictionalize who Kirk was. A day before his death, he said: "Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America." That's not respectful speech. That's violent rhetoric.

On an anxiety-filled day for the city, there were sporadic reports of arrests in Chicago’s Latino community as hundreds of federal agents move in — and many residents hunker down. trib.al/7TX7swK

Brett Kavanaugh thinks it's no big deal if masked men stop people on the street and interrogate them simply because they look like they might be Latino. Brett Kavanaugh is a fascist.

Brett “show me your papers” Kavanaugh.

“I love the smell of deportations in the morning,” President Donald Trump has posted on Truth Social, threatening Chicago would “find out why it’s called the Department of War.”

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

This is insane. This is a real social media post in which the president of the United States declares war on a great American city. Get active now, while you can. Help us rescue our country from a fascist dictatorship.

Had a terrific visit to the @nlbmuseumkc.bsky.social and met The Man himself @nlbmprez Bob Kendrick. The Negro Leagues Museum and neighboring Jazz Museum are must-sees.

Federal agents who are being sent to a north suburban naval base this week are expected to leave the facility before dawn each morning to carry out President Trump’s mission to curb crime and make immigration arrests in Chicago, officials have been told.

We can talk about new coach Ben Johnson, a rejiggered offensive line and a purportedly deeper, better roster all we want, but as soon as the Bears’ opener arrives Monday night, it’s back to being a Caleb Williams story. Column: chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/0...

Once again calling for the MLBPA to designate this day as Curt Flood Day. And a shout-out to all unions, including my local CUPE. Workers unite.

Chicago florist Juli Tkalec said tariffs have increased her costs by about 10% across the board: “The flip-flopping has been really frustrating, too, because some days our suppliers would charge us more, but a few days later it’s less,” Tkalec said.

O Block, made infamous by rappers like Chief Keef, has seen more shootings than any other block since 2010. But with crime now falling, residents say they feel safer and scoff at the notion that a military intervention would make things better.

The Cowboys agreed to trade their star defensive end Micah Parsons to the Packers Thursday. “For the Bears. it’s the worst landing spot possible,” Patrick Finley writes.
