I would bet so much money that rfk is drinking breast milk at least once a week, but I'm not grim enough to speculate on where he gets it

Stallone looks like a balloon animal in a wig

The love of rich people is only surpassed by the hatred of the poor. Two sides of the same coin.

These Democrats joined Republicans in peddling a conspiracy that foreign governments are trying to corrupt America's youth through public schools and voting to make schools racially profile parents and contractors.

Wait, some of those big blue wave accounts are now doing that "enjoy the camps" style bullshit about Minnesota Somalis?? I guess it's always the fault of the smallest populations and religions. Pause your judgement and invest in a mirror.

Well this fucking says it all, don't it

Hamilton, ON! My pal Matty is about to open a new restaurant, among the other things listed here. He fed some friends last night and I'm told it was of course delicious.

Oh, but "protect" all of it from being destroyed by whom?

“When I presented myself as a Member of Congress and asked for more information, my staff and I were pushed aside and pepper-sprayed by masked agents,” says Rep. Grijalva: www.fox10phoenix.com/news/az-rep-...

A reminder: Gregory Bovino may be gone and a bunch of his men aren't here anymore but Border Patrol is still in Chicagoland, randomly stopping folks at Home Depots and chasing people through the snow.

Failed mayoral candidate Ja'mal Green is once again claiming on social media that @thetriibe.com's story on how Paul Vallas’s campaign paid him is untrue. I edited that story; @tonia.thetriibe.com reported it. So once again: here are the receipts. bit.ly/JaymalPaid

Greed has truly jumped the shark in increasingly sociopathic ways.

I've read so many of these and they are worth the full price, so grab em for cheap while you can

I think the right wing political ads in Chicago must all be made by the same agency no matter what billionaire funds them. Same look, same tone, maybe the same voiceover actor. Even the fear mongering is identical, they just swap out what politician they want you to hate.

NEW: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Thursday he will not continue sweeps of homeless encampments — which city data shows have not yielded any permanent or supportive-housing referrals in more than a year. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/04/m...

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

NEW — Cutting less than one day of the Chicago police would cover the $4.5M needed to ensure there are no cuts to library staffing and resources, one resident writes. Read this opinion submission about protecting city libraries in the 2026 budget. thetriibe.com/2025/12/opin...

Poor Halle Berry. She's about to find out that all the largely non-Californian Newsom lovers only care about his tweets and his policies are irrelevant to them.

59 House Democrats joined Republicans in voting to codify Trump's suggestion box for billionaires to complain about public interest regulations that prevent them from defrauding you. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025311

I was just writing almost this exact same thing. There's an endless line of people that need to be extricated from the PIC. It's not the number, but the subjects and motivations.

Just a matryoshka doll of stupid. Same height too

If cheney were still alive, you think he'd be bummed that they can get away with basically calling it "Operation War Crimes For Oil" after he had to lie so feverishly about his own version?

Poor guy. I guess he'll just have to keep teaching young women at an elite university.

I'm so desperate for a working toilet/plumbing that I've been mostly pacing my apartment for over 2 hours. If anyone is curious what waking up on a tourbus is like, most mornings are almost exactly like this.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:

Launch him into the sun

Read an Apple v Spotify debate on here about ethics this morning, so another friendly reminder that the most ethical way to consume music doesn't involve streamers at all.

And just from the look of my timeline today, she'll have a 2nd book deal before the 1st even hits paperback. A 32 yr old narcissist writing a memoir sounds absurd til you remember the american love for anything tabloid adjacent.

Little Village Chamber Leader Thanked Border Patrol As Agents Arrested Neighbors, Video Shows After Block Club uncovered the video, the chamber said the employee was no longer employed there “effective immediately.” via @blockclubchi.bsky.social blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/03/l...

I still can't believe the woman that cited "super predators" in an effort to increase mass incarceration would imply anti-genocide young Jewish kids are brainwashed by an app.

from the inbox: protesters disrupted a city club luncheon today celebrating cook county state's attorney eileen o'neill burke's first year in office. demonstrators denounced a "truly shocking" 14% increase in people jailed pretrial. "burke and trump are the same, lock you up and pass the blame!"

Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported. I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

Real tired of seeing my senator on many similar announcements

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

Rapidly approaching the time of year where people stop shit talking Spotify so they can post their year end summaries

She's welcome to just disappear into retirement and sit at home with her happy and bloody memories of her adoring Kissinger consultations.

He tried everything. Promoting his businesses, defending shitty tech, offered to piss on that one guy.

For the first time in it's 111 year history, LA public defenders will defend clients in immigration court. A new unit at the LA County Public Defender’s office will do something unprecedented in the county: defend immigrants in court facing deportation. bit.ly/48KAPLm

How many generals can you throw under the bus for war crimes / murders before even the sycophants disobey illegal orders?

If you’re right too early you’ve been brainwashed by China, or you’re harboring secret anti-semitism, or you’re captured by radical woke ideology. If you’re right after the fact, after you’ve carried out the policies yourself, you’re an intellect to be rewarded and feted.

Despite all the good in the world, if another species ever evolves to take our place, the lasting history of humanity for them will be a depressing story of violence, greed, hubris, and self-destruction.

The US has more sequels and reboots than Marvel Studios

I hate technology and the cash sink that it is. Doing a deep clean and have set aside for donation/recycling: - 4 laptops - 1 desktop - 3 travel printers - 1 large printer - 2 scanners - 1 monitor - 10ish Blackberrys Anyone has a resource they want them for other than PCs For People, let me know.

Just for a lil pick me up, I had a look at fetterman's book ranking on amazon...

Things from childhood I was unaware at the time were pretty fucked up

everyone hates Nazis until it’s time to quit Substack

The scene now at Lafayette and Howard, diagonal to the ICE garage which activists remain camped out in front of on both sides of the building.

Time to rewatch the thanksgiving(ish) classic, You're Next
