mine was caught early and I had it easy, I guess (I would still never recommend SLNB), but I would rather not have done any of it at all.

LMAO

Imagine if the million worst people in a city disappeared overnight. Like a reverse rapture

I have no qualms asking someone with a name unfamiliar to me to spell it for me as it helps me to both remember and pronounce it.

Someone went through all of the neighborhood storm grates and tied red balloons to them. I don‘t hate it

our reserves are cleared out and the high school drop off point is also cleared out people are staring down the choice to pay rent or eat food and are taking big risks to go to jobs we are also looking for diapers — specifically size 4, 5 and 6 please share!

HAHAHAHAHAHA don't make me go find this and fill it with pennies...

deciding that facial recognition software is bad because it overrides State documents will pit people with documents against people without documents i simply don't think that's a worthy project to entertain ICE should not exist, full stop

i don't want anyone detained, birth certificate or no arguing about whether facial recognition software should be used is the red herring because we don't want to agree that border patrol should be picking people up at all

This whole article and not one mention of Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act?? 🤔

There’s a @briancassella.bsky.social shot for this from just today!!

🤌🏻

New from me: Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong. This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

jfc

you know what I could really use today?

“West of Pulaski, all the restaurants are mostly empty and dark,” he said. “Once you get past Pulaski, you just start seeing all these full businesses. And I’m, like, man, if just a portion of those customers came a couple blocks west, it would make such a difference.”

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

idk if that second hashtag is misspelled but either way 🤌

Federal agencies paid $1.5 million to a local nonlethal weapons manufacturer in Chicago for air-powered guns and pepper balls. It also paid $7.3 million to a downtown real estate company to relocate ICE agents leading up to Operation Midway Blitz. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/23/c...

never forget

we need to see a picture of Susan Collins's back

love a good bit. you know what to do.

bonkers read of the day:

_One_ of Chicago’s No Kings protests. Several hundred folks were in La Villita. @blockclubchi.bsky.social

We hear not

new Sudan Archives today let's fuckin' gooooooooooooo

ah shit I’m a day late

there is not a small number of people who can no longer go to the grocery store or the food pantry, there are many who are taking risks we have a small wishlist and i will keep sharing it, we keep hearing from families who trust us or trust their networks to trust us bit.ly/distributefoodchicago

the way I cackled

NEW — For the second time in less than a week, militarized federal agents deployed tear gas in a Chicago residential area. Members of the media, Chicago police officers on the scene for crowd control, and the broader nearby community were also exposed to the tear gas. thetriibe.com/2025/10/fede...

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

🪶 In the Ojibwe language, the word for chickadee is gijigijigaaneshiinh. To hear it pronounced (it sounds really cool) visit ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/m...

These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people. They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks. Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.

Just for fun 🎃

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE. This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never. May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.
