The only #wildlife rehab center in #SanFrancisco is in desperate need of funds thanks to required facility upgrades, and it may have to shut down if it doesn’t get the money. Please consider supporting our urban wildlife by donating (and sharing this info!): yuwr.org/donate/

For Charlotte friends who want to prepare, we made our little whistle station with a plastic planter (drainage in the bottom in case it rains), zip ties, and no-heat lamination paper

Really hoping we get a JCO-style takedown of JD Vance from the Chicago pope

My best friend Julia's mom passed away in 2022 and Julia gave me a cutting from her favorite plant. This year, it's finally flowering

CHICAGO GET OUTSIDE

Oh so it's SNOWING snowing in Chicago tonight

I see people throwing themselves in front of armored feds on the streets. People pushing to get close to Broadview ICE to stop the evil horrors inside & out. Regular people are throwing themselves into the path of danger daily & their reward is to have their health care taken away by rich cowards

Lucy isn't even holding the football! She's just promising to think about doing it in the future!

Please just listen to the first five words of this

Pup cup!

I know the Evanston animal shelter does a pet food pantry that is really popular. Who else is making sure pets stay fed while the government tries to kill us?

Tiling time

I see people being snarky on here sometimes about "suburban wine moms" and acting like they're being magnanimous by "allowing" them to protest alongside of us, and those people can fuck off

There has been entirely too much court talk from me recently. We need more Birdie.

If you'd like to know what counts as a violation of U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order against federal immigration agents' violent behavior in Chicagoland (you can report alleged violations at tinyurl.com/chicagotro), the full written version of the order can be found here:

Back in court! Is this where I live now? Have I ever been anywhere other than court? Who knows! Waiting on judge Ellis to arrive

Yes this is how she's best remembered

Apparently someone is impersonating me and asking for donations — it's not me! Please ignore/report if you see it!

So because I'm not a lawyer or legal expert I did not fully understand what was happening a few minutes ago, but Jon does! (I deleted my inaccurate info)

This might be more embarrassing than today's sandwich testimony

Wow so a bunch of luxury NYC real estate is about to become available huh

I haven't thought about Lily Allen in years and now I would go to war for her

Feral friend

Meanwhile, the free speech zone road has been reclaimed by sidewalk chalk messages.

It appears people are over the free speech zone

Two years ago today I saw the saaaaaaaddest dog in the window of the Anti Cruelty Society. I think her fortunes have changed a bit since then. Happy Birdie-versary!

OK Kyle's costume is pretty good

Ready for trick or treaters!

Today is the day I get to post one of my favorite photos: Kyle and Rutherford doing a Jurassic Park couples costume where Kyle is the dinosaur

Heavy on the music this morning at Broadview

I genuinely thought I'd lost my capacity to be shocked by these people. Turns out I was wrong!

To escape The Horrors, you can have a giant box of day-old doughnuts as a treat

How does this work with copyright? Like you can't just use copyrighted images for commercial purposes, which I think recruitment posts would qualify as? (I'm not asking if there will be CONSEQUENCES, just what the actual law is)

I'm trying to get into the courthouse for the Bovino hearing but the line is insane — I don't know if I'm going to make it?

I will kill you

It's like they think one of the requirements of the TRO is to proudly announce all of their crimes in public

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino) to the Aurora Police following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests So here it is!

Something good in Chicago today

Ah yes, here I am, straying into a pair of pepper balls!

So does Congress have a job anymore or

Got my @harebrained.bsky.social shirt today just in time for school watch

Cool weather means that Birdie can wear her hoodie again

An extensive new report just dropped detailing attacks on protesters and neighbors outside the Broadview detention center:

The principal at our school watch just let us know that ICE has been spotted around the National Guard building at North and Kedzie in Humboldt Park

They're posted up/driving around Trellus off of California and Peterson

ICE is parked outside an immigrant community center in Roger's Park, according to a friend who's inside leading an emotional wellbeing workshop

Parachuters have expressed befuddlement at how harshly DHS is treating Chicago (protesters and otherwise). We invite you to review the many years of violent, racist propaganda about our city since Obama was elected. They hate Chicago. That's it. That's why they named their group chat this.

Oak Park resident Scott Sakiyama reports feds pointed weapons at him across from an elementary school today. They then arrested him and took him to Broadview. While in custody, he saw agents texting in a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2." Full testimony: www.facebook.com/share/p/1GqB...
