Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

It turns out that companies do not in fact have to obey in advance www.theregister.com/2025/10/27/p...

Snowspouts spotted in Michigan today 😮 xcancel.com/ICWR/status/...

Generational fumble by democrats www.axios.com/2025/11/09/s...

The situation at LaGuardia is dire right now. And just think… Republicans are doing all of this because they don’t want the Epstein files to be released beta.flightaware.com/live/airport...

The republican party is on the brink of total collapse, and I am so here for it.

Are we going to get a snowicane tonight?!?!

No kings, only this queen

This is shaping up to be the best snow storm in the decade I’ve lived here 3 inches per hour, 35mph wind. Localized accumulations up to 18 inches

Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents. trib.al/ADixIUH

Democrats must hold the line on this budget. Force the filibuster to be axed. Imagine if we hold out through Thanksgiving and Christmas…. It will be a cataclysm for republicans

Check out all of the cyclists who are buying out street vendors and businesses impacted by ICE

The forecast keeps getting better and better the closer we get to the start of the snowfall 🥰🥰🥰

I vote:

n=15 phase 1 BUT 50% LDL decrease 55% triglyceride decrease Sign me up www.cnn.com/2025/11/08/h...

We sold out 2 tamale vendors, bought out 2 more vendors, and absolutely swarmed a family owned bakery. It was a good day with some the very best of #BikeChi 🥰 for the 4th installment of the Street Vendor Bike Tour. We persist. ✊🏽

The Hochul Ws just keep on coming. We stan. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

It takes 40 years to get to 50% equity on a 50 year mortgage

No point in moderating like this when voters just handed you a 14% margin anti-Trump mandate

Chicago might get annihilated by lake effect snow tomorrow 😳

30 yr fixed rate mortgages are bad in the first place, especially when paired with the mortgage interest tax deduction. Hurts the ability of the fed to respond to economic conditions because changes end up rippling through the economy slower than if we had ARMs like the rest of the world

Heads up, Illinois moved their data portal to Socrata a while back which means you can now use better data portal to do keyword searches across all data sets, same as for Chicago! Use this link: www.betterdataportal.com?portal_url=i...

One great thing about the end of summer is that the motorcycles go away

Kinda wild how many current problems trace back to Ralph Nader

I saw the Washington Post editorial on redistricting today and this is my official response.

ICE and CBP are uniting Chicago in a way I've never experienced in my 10 years living here

Trump did what Paul Ryan and the good ole boys never could. The stove has been grabbed.

Wow, Sierra Club has lost 60% of its membership since 2019 Sad to see, because the founding conservation principles were solid. But as a pro-nuclear advocate, its not surprising to me that they fell so hard. I've watched as they've helped close down low-carbon power plants across the country.

I only learned about Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas a couple weeks ago, but now I would die for her. She might save our republic.

The marquee Mamdani policy, 4 years of 'freeze the rent', will take a lot to pull off. Here, @aarmlovi.bsky.social lays out the playbook of what it will take to get his vote (he serves on the Rent Guidelines Board that will vote on Mamdani's agenda) www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/a-h...

I want my kids to see that our family stands for community. When they grow up, I want them to be proud that we walked a scared classmate and her family to the bus stop after school; proud that we packed whistle kits; that we fight to be better and build a better world. Be a neighbor, not a jagoff

Ok, Pluribus has me kinda spooked tonight

Really bummed that we have clouds in Chicago tonight

Tonight was the inaugural ride of our new home buyout program. We connect with vendors too scared to be out, and we purchase from them at home. Tonight we bought 250 tamales, divided into 3 teams to deliver all over the city to folks on the street, Love Fridges, and a youth shelter.

CTA planning 24-he service on the Orange Line! Exciting news. Also, lame to see Fran characterizing transit funding as a “bailout”. You’ll NEVER hear that terminology used for roads and highways. chicago.suntimes.com/fran-spielma...

"A stunning 84 percent of transit measures on the ballot in 2025 so far have won, grossing an estimated $11.7 billion in known transit revenue." usa.streetsblog.org/2025/11/06/t...

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Even the smallest act of insurrection drives our lives forward www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWRa...

I just spent an hour chasing these ICE jagoffs through Bridgeport. They detained and questioned two old Chinese ladies (clearly dangerous criminals) then let them go. They are terrorizing the entire neighborhood. There have been people abducted this morning. I'm beyond enraged.

I have a feeling that all of the monkey business from the feds could have a Streisand effect on Chicago that induces more tourism, and migration *to* here.

This reminds me: A few CBP agents were recently overheard complaining about how much they *hate* the whistles. Apparently, in addition to the obvious, the racket makes it harder for them to communicate with each other.

Neighborhood moms!!! Truly!!! There are folks - parents, young people, everyone - MAKING PERIMETERS AROUND SCHOOLS FOR DROPOFF AND PICKUP because of the military occupation of our city. We keep us safe because THE FEDS are the danger!

We cannot welcome foreigners and refugees into our communities when we refuse to let anyone build new homes.

Only learned about her a few days ago, but now I would die for her

Aurora bros, tomorrow night is looking great
