But that is nothing compared to what is happening in the facility. Our fight is not against flesh and blood it is against the powers and principalities. @govpritzker.illinois.gov whose side are you on?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

Some insights into the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund. Their full post on social media.

Come see me AND Gene tomorrow! What a thrilling opportunity!

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME BLUESKY

More proof that THIS is the Golden Age of The Onion satire.

“Faith leaders requested access to provide pastoral care to any captives inside the building, which has been denied.” Also chanting Let Them In! Reporting from unraveled @unraveledpress.com: Independent, reader supported investigative reporting from Chicago on policing and state violence.

Here in Broadview, outside Chicago, a large group of faith leaders & protesters have gathered this morning outside of ICE’s detention center. This looks like one of the largest protests on Beach St. in weeks, where the city of Broadview is still enforcing a small “free speech” zone. It’s packed.

My GN MAE: The Definitive Edition got picked as a 2026 Illinois Reads book for teens! I'll more library and school talks in the coming year. First up, I'll be at the Vigo County Public Library (IN) for their free comic con this Saturday. illinoisreads.org/2026-grades-... vigolibrary.org/catc/

This is sobering but precise. From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

In the 1950s psychiatrist Fredric Wertham's book Seduction of the Innocent incited a moral panic that nearly destroyed the US comics industry. Professor Carol Tilley, U of I, is the academic who went thru his papers and proved Wertham had faked most of his data. And Carol is a hilarious comics nerd!

O come, all ye Hoosiers! This Saturday I’m in Terre Haute, Indiana, for the Vigo County Public Library's FREE Con At The Crossroads! 11am - 5pm ET. I'll be giving a free drawing AMA, then I'll sling books and answer questions in Artist Alley. vigocounty.librarycalendar.com/event/how-dr...

Schumer's gotta go. Come tell him at the rally in NYC tomorrow, friends. www.mobilize.us/nycindivisib...

In 2011 physicist Lawrence M. Krauss defended his friend Jeffrey Epstein to a reporter. In a 2016 sexual assault, Krauss grabbed a woman's breasts at a conference w/o permission. bsky.app/profile/chan... www.science.org/content/arti...

I know Trump's small heart crumpled like Avon Barksdale's upon discovering that Epstein always hated him. This man really never had one friend. I bet even Cohn and Casablancas talked about him like a dog.

Godspeed, y'all. My single year in the Starbucks cafe at B&N gave me wild respect for anyone who can manage a job where demanding undercaffeinated people want complicated orders.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

The feminine urge to run feral into the wilderness and worship Dionysus against the wishes of the ruling classes.

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

This is the stupidest "problem" imaginable. New Bond shows up, kills some dudes in a cool way (escrima with a rolled up newspaper maybe) CUT TO credit sequence, naked silhouette ladies etc MONEYPENNY: "Back from holiday early, 007?" BOND: "Couldn't stay away from you" Etc.

I tend to eat annoyingly healthy nowadays but I also poured a ginger/turmeric shot into a redbull and chugged it so I know the real Trash Katie is still in there

In 2022 ICE signed a consent decree to STOP MASS RAIDS & PRETEXTUAL TRAFFIC STOPS TO DETAIN IMMIGRANTS! immigrantjustice.org/press-releas... From a 2018 case, argued by the National Immigrant Justice Center @immigrantjustice.bsky.social for Chicago area immigrant plaintiffs. From Fed Court today.

///BREAKING/// Judge Jeffrey Cummings orders that by noon of Nov. 17, he will order the release of all of the 615 "Operation Midway Blitz" detainees identified as class participants (at least those still here in the country) once they pay a $1,500 bond.

Remember that 2023 police raid on The Marion County Record? The county & city sheriff made an apology & paid $5M settlement. There are FOUR more fed lawsuits, incl v. the city police dept. Joan Meyer, 98 y.o. publisher, died of a heart attack 1 day after her home was raided. ij.org/press-releas...

A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

Panels that go hard: “Somehow, the Nazi ghost never seems to die within man. It marches with insane pride… respecting nothing… taking everything and ignoring the pain of others. Cap sighs in resignation. He will have to fight for his shield.” Jack Kirby, Captain America #196 (1976). Be like Cap.

Jeffrey Epstein said Trump "spent hours at my house" with a sexual abuse victim and "Of course he knew about the girls" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

i just want to stress that this isnt about trump anymore, its about the entire republican party and maga movement covering for a child sex trafficking ring

I feel like this point is weirdly under-discussed in the discourse! Acosta himself approved Epstein's notorious sweetheart non-prosecution agreement. By elevating Acosta to the cabinet later, Trump seemed to ... pretty clearly reward that?

I love Comics Nerd conversation, and Kurt Busiek may be the greatest American comics conversationalist. The chats on his Bsky are just lovely.

listen, with US journalism falling off a cliff i’ve seen multiple people touting the BBC for doing good “actual journalism” and I need you to know they’ve been horribly transphobic and damaging to trans people for YEARS and they’re about to get even worse they are not the answer!

Illinois is an immigrant "sanctuary state," by state law since 2017. This member of the civilian police oversight board says it appears Chi police are violating that law. In 2017 Republican IL Gov Rauner signed the IL TRUST Act to limit local police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

I know this is old news, but I'm STILL FURIOUS about the Senate Democratic cave. November 5, Wed. Trump: Voters blame us for the the Shutdown. We can't win that fight. November 9, Sun. Chuck Schumer: Nothing is impossible, Mister President. Also, I oppose the deal I organized and approved.

You have one job

A great thread

Peanuts from November 11, 1998. Charles M. Schulz pays tribute to veterans (and Bill Mauldin) by featuring Mauldin's characters, Willie & Joe.

agreed. it's "the guy who makes you uncomfortable for reasons you won't articulate isn't the future. this guy who looks and talks like you is."

Katie Cook is a mad genius who doesn't realize she's a mad genius. I mean, Katie knows she's got a touch of crazy in her but she hasn't accepted the other half of the equation. Anyhow, she's an inspiring weirdo and everyone needs more Katie Cook art in their life.

Witch-king: "You fool! No man can kill me." Eowyn: "It's this sword that will kill you, dumbass."

I never served, but thinking about my many friends who did. They are, on average, kinder and more considerate than the rest of us. And better leaders when everyone else is panicking. They go from goofs like the rest of us, and a steely calm surrounds them. Happy Veterans Day to all of you!
