need a head start on picking out a Halloween costume? Wishbone has you covered

Gov shutdown? Yes. I would like the government to stop doing about 70% of its “tasks” right now.

How do we confirm we’re in a simulation?

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

hey so this is insane

Bless you John Stewart. This set up is truly exceptional.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Arrests in North Chicago + Waukegan yesterday we are only just now learning about, Christ. Still no sense of numbers from last few days. May never know the true total anyway. This is an early sign of activity ramping up in Lake County as predicted. Please make a plan with your neighbors *now.*

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Terence Crawford takes the win tonight over Canelo Álvarez ‼️

We have to stop ICE and reform immigration. Horrible.

The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live. Sign our petition calling on FIFA to put game over greed: zohranfornyc.com/gameovergreed

Like clockwork— Federal agents seen taking someone into custody just now in Cicero. In this clip, you can see their propagandists filming alongside agents.

Matt Prater has now made field goals during five presidential administrations

I just learned it was Yamiche. They let him talk to her that way again.

Everything so bad, but there is a little dog sleeping on my lap.

Once again, Chicago showed up to defend against fascism

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Just Trump declaring war on a US city, a normal Saturday

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.

It does feel like Christmas Eve.

it's giving this [complimentary]

They announced a supposed Trader Joe’s location nearish to me. The reason I know it’s legit is because the parking lot is fucked.

Here is an image of the crowd of people that chased a dozen ICE agents out of Columbia Heights yesterday. I don’t see one “elderly white hippie” there. I do see a wide variety of ages, genders, and races; DC residents united in disgust at what Miller is cheering on.

Showing the endangered leader of an invaded country my hats

I'm not a fan of Gavin Newsom, but I'm a fan of Democrats fighting back aggressively and creatively against fascism instead of playing the same tired game of hoping things just work out. I wish others with a national profile would have the guts to fight back aggressively and creatively, too.

Coming to the socials every air and water show weekend to build community complaining about why the city of Chicago is under attack for 3 days.

Imagine chilling in your home country sitting down to have lunch with a YouTube video playing in the background and suddenly some plastic faced homunculi of a Hitlerian doll pops up to call you a wetback That’s been the experience here for a while now youtu.be/7QWXO2yDcwA?...

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

It’s about fairness in women’s sports.

WASHINGTON (AP) - US Air Force says it will deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service.

I hate that I have to say this but: If you’re a candidate running for office or an elected official, for your safety, turn off the location feature on Instagram.

Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl was absolutely incredible

I’ve spent most of the last decade doing candidate recruitment so I feel qualified to say this: If you do not like the person running, find someone to run against them or run yourself. Especially this far out from the election & filing deadlines, this is an option available to you if you so chose!

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May) By @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social

Border Patrol says he was at the red mark, 65 feet south of the border, when he "made an abrupt starboard turn and struck the port bow of the Coast Guard small-boat," causing him to capsize. He says that's ridiculous, he was in Canadian waters and was going to shore to talk when they hit him.

10/10.

Ok South Park, I see you. As my mom just said “What a chess move.”

About 1 in 4 U.S. adults worry they or someone close to them could be deported. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/06/27/about-1-in-4-us-adults-worry-they-or-someone-close-to-them-could-be-deported/

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Knowing everything you know about Epstein and Trump read this yourself two-three times and ask what the most obvious interpretation of it would be.

THINGS ARE TERRIBLE BUT feed! bsky.app/profile/did:...

A senior DHS official said today in court that "It’s true, many of the names, or even most of the names" of pro-Palestinian college students and scholars targeted for visa revocation came from the Canary Mission website www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

NEW: The Department of Veterans Affairs will REDUCE staff by 30,000 - one-third of whom are Veterans themselves - by the end of September.

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane. This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

The Texas tragedy comes as experts worry that children around the globe are increasingly at risk from extreme weather events because they are smaller physically, less developed psychologically and dependent on adults for support and protection.

When she was 10, her and her parents were seemingly given expedited removal orders. They then flew to Mexico and entered through the southern border without even having their passports checked (way more common in the pre-9/11 days), and stayed every since. ICE now wants to execute that old order.

Invest in protecting and building our communities, NOT fear-mongering with $170 billion for ICE. A little apples and oranges, but we need to invest in what communities REALLY need.
