this is my favorite part so far

Hey Chicago Southsiders - join us Sunday to tell AT&T to stop serving ICE as they conduct illegal and immoral attacks on our city www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

"I will hold him accountable"... by voting with the republicans go directly to hell Dick Durbin www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” -Ta-Nehisi Coates

"I take it to mean that we can expect no spectacular miracles from the heavens, that the problems of ordinary human beings will have to be solved by ordinary human beings. The message of Kahoutek is: 'Help is not on the way. Repeat: help is not on the way.'" Kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday

Chicago I do believe we are on our own

Why can't we have nice things for even one week

leaving a trail of stock options to lead senate dems onto the ice floe and then sending them out to sea

because the fucking fascists want to fucking kill us all you useless sack of spinelessness

These same bums will be asking us for cash at the next deadline; looking forward to sending this back to every Senate fundraising text

I'm gonna lose my fucking mind if Dick Durbin caves while they are assaulting our city, goddammit

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

It genuinely seems like Democrats have gone so long without an unambiguous win that they can’t handle the high and instantly became desperate to return to the safe, familiar terrain of being perpetually aggrieved losers, rather than winners who need to build on success.

Now more than ever, all of us together can cuck the Dems ✊🔥🌹

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

I'm issuing a household waiver on Christmas music before Thanksgiving for the duration of the winter storm warning and the Muppets collection still goes hard

Meigs field these SOBs

WHAT'S up YouTube, it's your boy Bartleby the Scrivener here, coming at you for another day of the I Would Prefer Not To challenge. Be sure to SMASH that subscribe button and hit that bell so you don't miss a single video. If you saw last week's video, you'll know I am now SLEEPING in the office.

Move over Hemingway bc "feds teargassed a baby" is somehow shorter *and* sadder

Workshopping an update to the Irish classic "Go On Home British Soldiers" to address the fascists in our midst. "have you got no fucking homes of your own" hits different these days

I guess when you violently kidnap a daycare worker on Wednesday the only way to escalate is TEAR GASSING A BABY

Monsters doing monstrous things, while people starve

Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with the gov here

Starving whole communities while sending armed thugs to kidnap people, this is an illegitimate government and our reps are largely asking us to keep the peace and videotape it.

Salute to the dad in the mall parking lot coaxing his kids to snarf down some Pringles and sips of Celsius before going into Kohl's. We're all just trying to make it through the day.

Ending all my takes with UNRELATED WE MUST END THE FILIBUSTER from now on

One thing about Conclave: no old men were Smoothed in the making of this film

Back on my bullshit (watching Conclave)

The frat house ep of Queer Eye is funny because it is maybe a 6 out of 10 on the disgusting frat house scale, but they get real serious about how these young men aren't treating their frat's ancestral home with dignity

"what would you do if you were unfathombly rich & nazis were invading your city?" is such a funny question to have no answer for.

One reason to touch grass is to make sure your weird online behavior hasn't made you creepy and unpleasant in even the shortest, most basic interactions with people. the freaks driving the car on the right couldn't make it through a child's birthday party at jumpzone without making enemies.

“I asked ChatGPT—“ yeah well I asked you to stop doing that and now we can’t be friends anymore

"You think I'm cringe? Yes, I am. Revolution is not for the ironypilled. Look at us: Transes, Palestinians, SWs... blocklist-fodder. We'll all be banned before Singal is. And yet, 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚. Where are you, doll? You're here! You're not on X, you're 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘, and you're ready to 𝙋𝙊𝙎𝙏"

If you tell your constituents that there are people you are willing to throw away, on some level they are hearing that, under future circumstances, they can be thrown away too. It’s abuser manipulation and there’s already a political party for people who want to live with that way.

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

Has anyone ever been more vindicated than Jeremiah Wright

The windows at the Broadview facility have all been boarded up, and the building is soundproofed, which serves two purposes. The people inside can't hear the support outside their door, denying the detainees the vitality that comes w/solidarity, and the people outside can't hear the horror within.

On the way back from Broadview I had a delicious falafel sandwich from "King Of Falafel & Shawarma # FreePalestine". They had the sopranos playing on a tiny tablet.

This account of the conditions in the Broadview ICE Detention facility outside Chicago are horrific.

Ellis: Federal agents described a number of protestors as "professional agitators" based on their use of whistles, in part. "Describing neighborhood moms and rapid response groups as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are and how incredible their statements are."

Solidarity from Chicago. It’s so hard to explain to people not experiencing this that none of this is “law enforcement” it’s terror and cruelty.

Fav non-comic book movie that feels like a comic book movie? #filmsky #moviesky

Judge said STFU about Chicago

Act like a Lady,

The kidnapping of Ms Diana is an outrage. AND, 10 years ago (under Obama) my kid's daycare teacher and her child had to leave because her husband was deported. They weren't snatched at gunpoint, but both were wrong and harmed our communities. Amnesty now, abolish ICE.

I love that the ruling is “Chicago fucking rules, fuck the liars and the haters”

"Like capital punishment, torture, and slavery, deportation is wrong. Always, all of it, no exceptions. People of conscience must not let ourselves be pulled into line-drawing between acceptable and unacceptable instances of this violence" littlevillagemag.com/letter-to-th...
