it is beyond insulting to the victims of ICE to deny what is happening it’s insulting to organizers and people in the streets resisting but it is actively denying the victims their stories and it is monstrously inhuman. Tom Nichols likes this stuff, tho

Giving any helicopter the finger just in case. #chicago

Fuck ICE/DHS forever. Thread from a pal in MA:

It’s being reported that Greg Bovino and 250 of his goons will be leaving Chicago. But it’s also being reported that he’ll be back, in larger numbers. But Chicago is a boxer, tired but unbowed. I wrote about how we’ll be ready. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Please support Carlos Zapata and his family after their vicious attack at the Hands of ICE by donating to their GoFundMe! www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

The Baileys, @schumer.senate.gov's imaginary friends that he votes in support of, are professional scammers. Joe Bailey has a dog fighting ring in his basement, and Eileen is likes to seduce married men to break up their families. Their children haven't talked to them in years.

its almost a month since lia smith, a trans woman who was in college sports until trump took office and banned her from competing, committed suicide her death has a wikipedia page but has yet to receive an ounce of news coverage in @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @apnews.com @cnn.com

DHS lies constantly, and this has been confirmed in court. There is no evidence that any shots were fired at federal agents. The fact that the claim has no known basis in fact should be out front here.

If a house is on fire then you have to fight the fire. If the entries are obstructed you have to get rid of the obstruction. If the firefighters won't fight the fire then you have to get new firefighters. This is a metaphor.

The “& Friends” part has never been so crystal clear.

I have so many screenshots and receipts from this summer and people showing what they truly are and what they truly believe. People are going to have to really come to terms with the fact that the Democratic Party at the highest levels is fundamentally the same party as the Republicans.

In the aftermath of January 6, I legitimately spent a bunch of time in therapy talking about what to do with the feeling that I cared more about democracy than the sitting president of the United States and I will tell you that core feeling is still pretty unresolved!

The most demoralizing thing is knowing that we want to save democracy--are in fact working much, much harder at it--than Senate Democrats are or ever will. Genuinely the most fucking hopeless group of people on the planet.

LISTEN UP, @durbin.senate.gov & @duckworth.senate.gov

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Sharing art isn't quite the same as creating it in the first place, but it's akin to that in that you are making its exist for others who might not have known it otherwise. It's an act of kindness and generosity. Something wrong with your soul if you never ever do that.

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this. Stay safe!

god I hope the sandwich cop is really mad right now. just red and nude shouting at his ex-wife during the drop off of his monitored custody hours about how liberals don't care about the safety of our first responders

This is rich.

Great interview with @katmabu.bsky.social on today's Beans episode.

This morning, ICE unlawfully kidnapped a day care worker in front of parents and children. We’re demanding accountability for every way that DHS is violating our rights, breaking the law, and acting with impunity. We must resist. WATCH.

Sharing w/added alt text.

The incident happened in front of parents and children, Martin and a parent said. Other workers became afraid to come in, and the daycare center closed for the day, parents said. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/05/d... 📝 @mollydevore.bsky.social & Mack Liederman

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

My condolences to Cumwho or whatever his name is.

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

Imagine seeing Dick Fucking Cheney anywhere outside of an iron maiden in Hell and finding something to be nostalgic about? www.welcometohellworld.com/god-will-pun...

RIP Dick Cheney For @inthesetimes.com inthesetimes.com/article/mamd...

Dick Cheney’s legacy is that he turned 9/11 from a national tragedy into a global disaster. He did so through a mixture of arrogance, stupidity and greed and blighted the last quarter century.

Vanishing people from records is part of the protocol used by death squads and the worst South American dictatorships.

“What immigration enforcement looks like now is not just arrests. It’s public intimidation.” Must read by Chicago journalists @royalpratt.bsky.social & @lauranrodriguez.bsky.social on how Bovino & the border patrol are taking over from ICE with 'cameras rolling' & reckless racial profiling.

if you see that AI-generated video going around, of some NYPD officer telling an ICE officer what he’s doing is against the law, one straightforward way to tell it’s AI is this will literally never happen

If Norman Rockwell were alive today, he would be devastated to see that his own work has been marshalled for the cause of persecution toward immigrant communities and people of color. The Rockwell family 🧵

In Albany Park, they fired pepper-spray balls to disperse an angry crowd and arrested two U.S. citizens. In Evanston, one repeatedly pointed his weapon at protesters while another knelt on a man’s back and punched him in the head.

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.

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

god i almost never travel anymore but i’m gonna need to get the fuck out of ann arbor for that morgan wallen concert, i don’t need to be killed by a drunk driver while sitting in the house

It occurred to me that I’ve never drawn this Keebler gremlin before, which feels like quite an omission given the role he’s played as Salacious Crumb to Traitor the Hutt.

we live in a society where we pay police $200k a year to violently assault poor people who aren't able to afford food, and also defunding the police is supposedly the extreme position?
