Not endorsing their politics, but the 3% "Not sure" are probably a decent hang

In the wake of Riley O’Neil’s death, we’ve partnered with the Illinois Secretary of State to launch an education campaign to prevent doorings.

"This would be the end of American science as we know it," said @colesci.bsky.social, a policy analyst from the group @standupforscience.net who has been organizing to protest the change. "We're gonna make sure that it doesn't fade quietly into the night." www.npr.org/2026/06/03/n...

288 288 people inside Delaney Hall signed a letter this week describing medical neglect, illness spreading through the facility, and people held past their approved release dates with no notice to their families. This is a second letter like this in three months.

The man screamed for help as he was brought to the ground under the agents’ vehicle. One agent then used a taser on him. The agent aimed it at bystanders before and after tasing the man. Another agent aimed a can of pepper spray and pointed it at the crowd. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Get their asses, Debbie ✊

New: attorneys for U.S. citizen Debbie Brockman announced today that she's filing Federal Tort Claims Act claims against the govt. over her 10/10/2025 arrest by federal immigration agents in Chicago. Brockman, who last October worked for WGN, is now seeking $10M in damages.

We lost Jonathan Joss exactly One Year ago today. A neighbor burned his house, killed his dogs and shot him in the street for being Gay. Never forget Jonathan Joss. #KingOfTheHill #JohnRedcorn

This morning federal agents hit a woman’s vehicle while chasing and eventually detaining a man, later using a taser on him while pointing tasers and pepper spray at bystanders at Lawrence/Kedzie in Albany Park. Story to come via @chicago.suntimes.com

Last week, feds pointed a gun at someone inside their home in the suburbs. ICE never left Chicago and every day feels like screaming into a void

More than two dozen people arrived to face federal agents in five different unmarked vehicles with aftermarket emergency lights. One agent had a Jerusalem cross sticker on the back of his phone, a Christian symbol dating to the Crusades that more recently has been associated with white supremacy.

During that scuffle, one of the agents dropped a magazine fully loaded with ammunition on the street (a supervisor retrieved that magazine minutes after the agents left the scene). chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Cyclists whose car has a manual transmission and is worth less than a Tern longtail and who activate the tracker app to show that they drive safely also get really, really cheap car insurance.

it's certainly interesting to watch every single person in the oil industry repeat in a monotone “we are 3 to 6 weeks away from the worst energy crisis in history”, supply chain people with thousand yard stares, every single macroeconomist I know is benchmarking against 2008, etc and then meanwhile

The people who make it are openly crooning about using it to take educated women’s jobs away so I find this extremely unsurprising.

every day i read many things that are so damn funny that it makes this moment in history significantly more bearable

Des Plaines River Trail and North Branch Trail kinda day (pics by @braiine-cell.bsky.social)

Inspired this wonderful gem

Absolutely failure on the part of the Chicago Park District to create safe green spaces. Why can’t we have any spaces in this city that aren’t totally thinner and overrun by cars? @betterstreetschicago.org @bikegridnow.org

Cheese and rice, they’re banning parking on Lawrence from Sheridan to Cicero for this cop funeral tomorrow

Timeline cleanse, here’s some golden hour kitties

Have no idea of the usual politics for Chicago posts on reddit, but struck by all the threads on cops shutting down much lf the North Side for the funeral that are mostly ACAB & mostly cogent analysis of why the display of power is arrogant & dangerous & odd given the failures that lead to the death

Fantastically vapid coverage from BlockClub, what a shocker. Not even bothering to question how a *disarmed* suspect still had the same gun he reportedly committed armed robbery with earlier, no mention of how massively disruptive this funeral has been to the entire city. Top tier journalism, truly

destroying the trees themselves instead of the peaches is where this goes from unmitigated greed into actual evil

Wait, they towed legally parked cars for a funeral parade?

Exactly this. It’s a show of force.

Reddit users are reporting that they parked their car overnight on Lawrence or Sheridan and that it was towed this morning without posted signage in advance. I tend to be skeptical about complaints like this but given how much of this has been a shit-show: It tracks www.reddit.com/r/chicago/s/...

It takes multiple years and several rounds community meetings to get some flexi-posts, paint and curbs after literal children are killed by drivers. Next time a cyclist is killed we should implement guerrilla infrastructure changes to close the route for two days with no process or community input.

They are also shutting down the Kennedy! Wild

i hate cops!!!!!!!!! i hate cops so muchhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Saw Green Bay and Valparaiso cops in the procession. Assembly Wisconsin and Indiana. Insane

Already called Ald Nugent, her office said this was communicated in a newsletter. Saw the info about no parking on Lawrence, but there wasn’t anything about roads closed off

Had to make an emergency vet appointment this morning, now I’m stuck 100ft from home because I can’t cross Lawrence. Unreal.

Was going to head uptown in a bit. Guess this changes my plans. It’s ridiculous that they do this for a cop’s funeral. He wasn’t even a high ranking guy.

I don’t think the CTA buses knew about this

They got guys blocking the side streets playing Candy Crush from DLSD to I-94

Rule of law is only enforced in one direction.

You don't even want to know how it's been further north, right around the church. They've had LSD closed from the top down to at least Foster for about 3 hrs.

I'm pretty sure that the city can't outright ban helicopters because the FAA regulates airspace but surely we could restrict our local law enforcement from using them. In my worthless opinion, medical transportation is the only legitimate use of helicopters.
