When ICE agents released tear gas outside her elementary school, @ctulocal1.bsky.social member Maria Heavener had a plan in place to protect her students and limit their exposure to outside agitators. For more protocols, check out our back-to-school checklist: tcf.org/content/comm...

Mostly just happy for @snapwilson.bsky.social, the podcast is going to be incredible

Not Holly being upset that Cathy was booed lol girl bye. #WNBA

*Incredibly loud incorrect buzzer sound*

Dana Evans truthers are living tonight

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

ICE all across the northwest side of Chicago with hotspots in Hermosa and Belmont Cragin. There is a recent development in Logan square as well around Central Park and armitage where videos and eyewitnesses are sharing tear gas thrown at protesters trying to intervene.

South Chicago, 92nd and Brandon-sh, looking east. 1910 vs. Today. Almost nothing remains =(

we make fun of the dial-up noises but we lost something when the computers stopped making Computer Noises. you should have to hear your file uploading when you press send. when people use ChatGPT they should have to hear the sound of a lake evaporating

God has kept Indiana out of the Finals

watched like three seconds of Hegseth and woo call him the Secretary of War cause my boy is bombing hard

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

Someone could and maybe should write a paper on the developing lexicon for talking about This Moment, especially in higherEd and non-profit type spaces. Maybe that already exists? But it’s wild to me how I go to meetings full of people who say things like, “all of this” and “these times” etc.

I should not have to be subjected to Dave Portnoy and Carli Lloyd multiple times a day just to watch college football

Disinvite them from the tailgate. Do not go to the baby shower. Call out their bullshit on Facebook. Do not just purse your lips and nod politely. Ostracize the living shit out of them. Leave their church potluck casserole untouched. These people are extremely vulnerable to social shame.

i wish they’d let gregg turkington run a one-man broadcast booth for a football game. he’d just call every field goal attempt good and then go back to talking about the lettering on the jerseys

too late for the person for this is about, but complaints about paywalls—whether or not they’re on something I write—are an automatic block. I can’t make people support journalism but I won’t tolerate people complaining they have to pay others for their labor.

begging democrats to fight right now like portland is as important as jimmy kimmel

Awful news that Kaleb Horton died. A talented writer who in another time would've been getting $5 a word with an expense account. Read his skilled filleting of the Entourage movie web.archive.org/web/20150605...

With Sandy Brondello out, Cheryl Reeve has officially been on the job longer than every other WNBA coach combined. Cheryl Reeve's tenure: 5768 days Every other WNBA coach combined: 4529 days

*record scratch* "I suppose you're wondering how I wound up here."

They played Madvillain over an AI commercial, c'mon dog

This is the most NO NO NO NO YES NO NO YES YES YES NO NO Nebraska game I've seen since, like, last November

they have changed their object of grief

The Wall Street Journal needs to issue a full retraction and apology to the trans community for this. Nothing less will suffice. They put us all in danger and recklessly put out incorrect information.

One thing the media's reticence to label Kirk an extremist has made jarringly clear is how scared they are of the people in power now who share his extremist beliefs. In the space of nine months, they have internalized a fear of condemning racism, misogyny, homophobia and antisemiticism.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

This feels like the exact same thing as the people who want to focus on moving everyone to Mars. It's so much easier to care about abstract, not-real people than to actually invest in those living now. It's so much easier to daydream about starting over on Mars rather than saving ourselves now.

every Question you Just Have about trans athletes was fucking figured out and solved a decade ago it was not a problem it was never a problem you're a mark

NEW: “Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise. By @abrahm.bsky.social

I say “that sucks, man” all the time in a very specific intonation from a Dana Holgorsen moment in a 2012 press conference

Napheesa Collier, YOU are getting cooked!

This dude got a fifth year despite going 15-29 in the first four lol Things were so bad in year five that Nebraska paid an extra $7.5 million to fire him instead of waiting two weeks for his buyout number to drop

The Sky would be an ideal tank team to watch this season except they don't own their own draft pick so instead a lot of this just feels grim

I wonder what university presidents think they're going to be presidents of by the time this term is over

I think we should ask Sophie Cunningham MORE questions and just let her speak, nothing could be more damning than insight into her mind

“i asked chat gpt” “i asked grok” Jeeves would kill you where you stand

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

When they tried to assassinate Trump, elected Dems could not get to the microphones fast enough.

Not great that all of the descriptions of someone “impersonating” law enforcement are just descriptions of what law enforcement are currently doing in our streets

I've been dreading this day for a long time. Goodbye, Brian Wilson. Thanks for everything. lindseyadler.substack.com/p/heroes-and...

I'm trying to edit a photo of Sky guy to be as horrifying as possible to celebrate Chicago's first win of the season, but I think his soul, which is trapped in Hell, will not allow me and my phone keeps crashing

There would still be “Whites” and “Coloreds” seating sections and drinking fountains if this think tank had been around in the 1960s
