Greetings From Chicago 🎅🚂 2200 N. Milwaukee

I have nothing against you or your regional culture but there is an unbreakable spiritual bond between anyone who has ever had to scrape ice off a windshield while hungover

Eternal Silence in the snow, this morning at Graceland Cemetery

Thinking about how the fed social accounts are the entirety of the liberal arts wing of MAGA and losing consciousness briefly

The Midwest yearns for more train

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Good morning

NYT pushed its “Dems must go moderate” take again yesterday. In a new piece out today, @adambonica.bsky.social shows even more clearly why the data don’t support it. It also shows what a skilled empiricist and teacher Adam is. Very proud of my pal’s public work. open.substack.com/pub/data4dem...

CHOTINER: So you're attending a No Kings protest today. ME: That's right. CHOTINER: But according to Steam, you've played over 450 hours of Crusader Kings 3. ME: Okay, well- Now hold on. That's sort of unfair. CHOTINER: Oh? ME: Sometimes I play as a duke or a count. CHOTINER: I see.

The Broadway upzoning passes the land use commission 15-2. Loud cheers break out

Love to be charismatic but not schmoozy! And vulnerable without being uncomfortable! And collegiate while being professional! Love people and talking to them! the right way! To avoid being homeless! Love love

With all the divisiveness in politics today I thought it would be nice to launch a new website that affirms something we can all agree on: a staggering number of Republicans are pedophiles. pedoconservatives.com

always appreciated Dr. Moonhattan's arc

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.

Name a more iconic etcetc

A pillar of the community

There are Joes Rogan of the left everywhere, for those with the eyes to see

uh…hunter biden for president?

Also, just…it is the summer of 2025, and the crisis that a bunch of self-described progressives in an immigrant-heavy blue city neighborhood are volunteering 100s or even 1000s of hours collectively to fight is…preventing seven story buildings with affordable housing

followed what sounded to be a hundred or more very angry crows and yeah, i'd be pissed too

Court-packing is the moderate option.

Alderwoman Fuentes "we wouldnt be able to build our community without immigrants" "they pay taxes too!"

How do I monetize my only talent

I’m running for Cook County Commissioner in District 10 to make it easier to live in the city I love. Repost this video and visit drakefor10.com to help us win. #chicago #cookcounty #politics #illinois #government #vote #urbanism #transit #healthcare

Absolutely incredible graphic from 1880 tracing the history of political parties in the United States.

Some thoughts on Mamdani's big win.— www.unpopularfront.news/p/what-it-to...

there are no atheists in foxholes. foxes worship satan

Many years later, as he faced the editorial board, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani was to remember that distant afternoon when his father told him to abolish ICE

Of all the things he was elected to do and has not, glad this isn’t one of them

This would be the right thing to do if they had the guts to call the category “FM Radio Country”

Coyote pups at Graceland Cemetery!
