It’s not surprising that they’re shoving his face on this because his narcissism is a paramount element of this era but holy shit does it make me sick to my stomach.

Chicago alleys in fresh snow are peak alley experiences.

hahahahahahahahahahhaha radically moderate ahahahahhaha

I love the gap between the official online groyper run info organs posting genAI pics of him as “warhammer fascist battle pope” while the actual guy looks like “ET sick in a creek”

it is stickin’ this time.

@profanity.accountant I’ve got my bets on what the top one is but let’s see.

death cult.

Don't worry, if you go to Northwestern, you can "choose to identify" as trans, you just can't live or use the bathroom there

can’t wait for my phone in a couple of months to create one of those photo slideshows no one asks for featuring “Fall in Chicago 2025” and it’s just a series of masked goons and constitutional violations.

Days since Greg Bovino was last shown to be a liar: 0

hark - a genuine chance of consequence?

Repeal the Hague Invasion Act and try everyone responsible, this is non-negotiable www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Ferguson: "This community, long subject to environmental injustice, deserved access to the truth..if given the choice, I would do it again as city officials must be held to the highest standards of transparency and accountability in serving its most vulnerable of citizens.” Heck yeah.

Four Days in July still / autumn in Chicago mood

A Border Patrol agent under Gregory Bovino wrote a report using ChatGPT and was texting with “Allmightywhity,” bodycam footage reviewed by the @chicagotribune.com shows. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/28/b...

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics

D.C. Shooting Suspect ‘Could Not Tolerate’ the Violence of His C.I.A.-Backed Unit in Afghanistan “The units had been trained for nighttime raids targeting suspected Taliban members, & were accused by human rights groups of widespread killings of civilians.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/u...

thankful for this city, the communities therein, our undivided dedication to one another, our perpetual commitment to the most extra of sandwiches, and an undying spirit of resistance to the tyrannical forces that want us to break. love you so much, Chicago.

Writing about my wife’s naked political corruption like a Dan Brown novel

“When three ICE agents took Ms. Cordero into custody for overstaying her visa, she began to weep, as did the Citizenship and Immigration Services officer who had been interviewing her, according to Mr. Cordero.”

thank you Mariano’s parking lot, a lot to consider here.

Seems like not much money to sell your soul

can’t believe it’s been ten years since this and yet Rahm Emanuel thinks he can somehow come back into the spotlight still. very salient end note right now amidst a federal government lying through its teeth repeatedly against its own people.

Really loving that Chicago Public Libraries distribute the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights hotline number in the children’s coloring section.

the utter moral rot of these people compared to the maternal fear of this woman trying to protect her son from the brutal conditions she’s facing.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

Thread by @jmetr22b.bsky.social with a pretty bleak courtroom story: a man accused of putting a hit on Greg Bovino withdrew his pretrial release motion today, after the possibility was raised that were he released, ICE might grab him. A court entry today confirms the release motion's withdrawl.

these transcripts do have some actual lol moments

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

“What have we been taught our entire life? Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked. This is basic, basic stuff. Christians have always been people who are supposed to be there for the marginalized, the people that are being hurt by systems, the people that don’t have a voice.”

the dog unit stuff is really nuts— seems like a story of absolute failure of Sheriff Dart and his staff to stop the flow of drugs into the jail

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies. Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it: www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-p...

shared with consent from friend who was on site for this latest gassing of neighbors gathering outside for their community in Minnesota.

My friends got tear-gassed one block from their house in Saint Paul today by the feds.

I’ve got an all day job to cover but bookmarking this here for further self-flagellation later tonight.

I don’t know if I can handle reading this as a court reporter without tearing my hair out on behalf of the insurmountable speaking objections and other general bickering that happened throughout these seven hours without even seeing the transcript.

the training facility element is what’s really haunted me from this story - that means the rawest of agents with zero experience are the ones who are going to be here and we can all imagine the kind of people ready to join up this organization in this moment.

“We’ve tried to not have to do it, but we've got direct orders,” the masked ICE agents told them www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i...

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love

love it when I can watch a movie with a friend and we are absolutely loving it in the same way - in that an unhinged Michael Shannon could easily get it.

I’m happy to have made @thelouvreof.bsky.social Hall of Fame

“She said detainees were being fed Subway sandwiches or food from Wal-Mart. The facility has no food vendors on contract and no medical contracts.”

Bovino is just such a weasel of a creature.

A disabled child’s mom reported him missing. He was in federal custody for 48 days. 19thnews.org/2025/11/disa... via @19thnews.org

Ok ok we don’t have to go so far around the bend as to be pro Maduro - the guy who starved his own people so much that one 2018 report stated an average Venezuelan lost 24 lbs/11 kilograms the year before due to poverty.

“Car wash employees — along with street vendors, day laborers, farmworkers and gardeners — have become low-hanging fruit. At least 340 people have been detained in raids on 100 car washes across Southern California since June, according to the CLEAN Car Wash Worker Center..”

Sorry, MAGA doesn't even support democracy here anymore, I'm supposed to believe they support it in Venezuela? bsky.app/profile/katz...
