Sorry guys, I brought on this second flurry because I thought it was safe to shovel early

Warren for senate minority leader

@durbin.senate.gov well that’s the nail in the coffin for any warm feelings I had left about your tenure. Jfc.

i do not support all democrats. some of you bitches are very dumb!!!

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.

How much do you wanna bet these numbskulls didn’t realize that this is a bougie-ass Spanish *immersion* daycare (Repost with a reference that preserves the woman’s privacy) wgntv.com/news/chicago...

Flipping my shit over the Feds storming into a fucking daycare this morning to abduct someone GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just having a little mid-day cry looking at baby pictures after a neighbor picked up the kids’ crib 😭😭😭

It’s a beautiful, sunny fall day and my older kid’s recess is probably gonna end up indoors today since there are agents crawling all over the neighborhood

Trying to decide if the expiration date on an ingredient is Y-M-D or Y-D-M: the Asian-American struggle

Neither my dog nor toddler understand we’ve arbitrarily moved the numbers on the clock

Our Montrose & Kimball tamale lady came through with delicious delivery directly to the Halloween party we went to last night. Individual tamales were huge and the champurrado was great for an October outdoor party. DM me if you want deets!

Families were making their way to the neighborhood Halloween parade being held two blocks away from this tear gassing. This is life in Chicago these days

Oh cool, we're at this point already, huh (Reposting with alt text)

It remains insane and unacceptable that local elementary schools are having to ask the neighbors to come out and patrol student pick ups because the government is kidnapping people.

Feds just took 3 workers that the foreman says are US Citizens from the same corner they teargassed two weeks ago (Wilson and Sawyer) – these fuckers are seriously just rolling up and kidnapping anyone that looks brown regardless of status

ICE is just driving around my neighborhood today kidnapping landscapers and other workers (one at the corner where my kid is in preschool) – this is so, so fucked up

Big day for those of us for whom Scully is their queer root

So engrossed in the beauty of the lakefront trail on a day like this that I totally missed the turn to the nature museum. (My three-year-old was less entranced)

Good morning to everyone else whom pagerduty finally alerted of an outage

Yup. A few months ago, I pointed out that part of the reason for ICE employees covering their faces, was that some of them were likely government contractors and not law enforcement, and so has no legal authority to detain. People that know nothing about criminal justice reform yelled at me.🤷🏿‍♂️

As inspired as I am by the way my neighbors have been stepping up in AP, hearing that people in the incredibly normie suburb I grew up in chased out the Feds honestly gives me more hope that we’ll ultimately win this fight

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson asks if we are ready to crush authoritarianism He is calling for a general strike and the crowd is going crazy "Are you ready to take it to the courts and to the streets?" "We will defend our democracy...we will tear down tyranny!"

Well, the sheer number of people marching out of the Unity Park family protest sendoff tied up traffic at Diversey/Milwaukee/kimball six corners for a solid 25 minutes at least, so I’m guessing the downtown one is going to be absolutely massive

Steeping this pot of oolong without letting it bloom like a troglodyte

TIL my spouse would have left me for D’Angelo

After thinking about this for a bit, it’s making me really uneasy seeing this incident being used as a sort of resistance porn. like, this was not a win – people were acting like this because they actually had one of my neighbors in the car and they were successful in abducting them this time

This is a block away from us. L went to check it out but they’d already run away and but I’m hearing they tried to detain someone else further down our street not long after this

Thinking a lot about how we’re seeing public safety without cops in action on our streets, right now

Spouse went to get kiddo & friend’s kiddo early today given reports of ICE nabbing folks by nearby schools and ppl had come out in force to cover the area. Honestly turned a stressful situation into a heartening one for us (with all the caveats about our positionality of course). ILU Chicago ❤️

I haven’t been on here in months (and probably won’t be for many more) but since I’m at home recovering from chemical weapons exposure and found my way over to catch up on a friend’s feed, I thought I’d add to what has already been shared about Chicago protests against ICE & CBP.

즐거운 한가위되세요! Hosted the local queer Korean group for Chuseok for the second year in a row and it leaves my heart so full 🥰 Grateful for this community, especially now

3-yo: What does peel mean? Me: Take off the peel 3-yo: What does unpeel mean? Me: 🤯

This is my beautiful city, and we will prevail

What did you think was going to happen when you decided to send state police to these protests @govpritzker.illinois.gov? They did nothing while ICE attacked protesters even when complying with your new restrictions

The absurdity of doing a smol data pipeline migration while ICE snatches people off the street literally a block away

3/ Tech fascism in a nutshell: “Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.“ She wrote this in 2000!

That’s my State Senator @gracielaforsenate.bsky.social looking entirely badass – grateful to know I’d have this kind of backup of I were snatched off the street

Happening now: ICE tear-gassed a protest crowd outside its Broadview, IL facility which includes elected officials (Illinois Lt Gov & US Senate candidate Julianna Stratton was there at one point) and local news crews just a bit ago

Anyway, enjoy this incredible mural they’ve painted on the Horner Park mangoneda stand

us gov't is about to find out what koreans are like when they have a grudge.

I just blocked the WaPo channel on Apple News since they mete out publishers’ share of revenue based on engagement. Small thing but easy to do, especially now that they’ve fired or driven out their best.

I don’t know if media will start verifying police statements with external evidence (especially when they’ve shot someone) before they die of irrelevance but independents on a shoestring budget are showing how it should be done

Today's Garbage Day was really great if you want a succinct explainer about today's news from folks that actually understand the corners of the internet this guy was steeped in: www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

Just here to share my kid’s total excitement about taking the Tiger line this morning

Kiddo school drop off happens to be at the perfect time and place to get in line at Del Sur 10 minutes before it opens 🤩

TIL the CTA has an emergency rerail truck
