It appears that Olivia Nuzzi made a horrible mistake*. (*Reading Don DeLillo's LIBRA while writing her book about dating RFK.)

I don't know how to get people to read this article, but I really think many more should.

Kinda shocking how far you can get on Marx + (Late) Freud

My Internet boyfriend makes a good point!

Someone had been telling lies about James B.

guys -- Durbin's voicemail box has been full for ~15 years.

Sadly, it has been full for like 15 years

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

Chicago: ICE heavily active in West Ridge and Edgewater. Landscapers heavily targeted. Put on your whistles and patrol if you can.

tomorrow, free our caregivers

All New Yorkers at heart -- but a minority of New Yorkers in voting booths ? I was today years old when I learned BHL is still alive and tweeting through it*. * life as a racist POS

Our culture makes it easy to get inured to every type of image/footage. The video of the Chicago daycare employee getting hauled out of her workplace by ICE brought me close to throwing up.

Matt Berninger voice: 🎶everyone was outside, honking and ready your pulled me in close and said 'kiss me already' The Paramount theater let out a roar Curtis sliwa was crying And I was crying toooooo🎶

Feeling today the blissful absence of any need to read a single op-ed about the Zohran win. The campaign was the op-ed: a very good one!

Is it my imagination, or are they kind of barely even covering the race?

In a newspaper office, unhappiness.

try realizing that you're student teaching at the high school where his dad used to teach

Spare a thought for centrist dem consultants this morning. They just learned their ideal candidate for the Democratic 2028 presidential ticket has passed away.

Chicago Auxiliary Bishop José María Garcia-Maldonado at ICE detention facility: “Being here is an act of holiness…soon we will seek access to the facility to bring the Eucharist to our brothers and sisters; if they say no again, we will keep praying.”

I love all my bots equally

Pretty sure it was Sun Tzu, or maybe Clausewitz, who said Best Not To Fuck With Evanston Libs

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

The high school where I've been doing my student teaching went on a soft/semi lockdown today because of ICE goon activity. All the teachers stood outside as protection during dismissal, and students who needed to get out without being seen were given ways to do so. Equally dire and inspiring day.

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago: "He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

There is a case that Weezer is still good -- but it is strewn with obstacles.

Equator Magazine just launched today. It’s the sort of venture we need like we need air- erudite, cosmopolita, merciless and brave. Congratulations my brilliant friends @equatormag.bsky.social www.equator.org

Ron Howard voice: Actually, she was.

If you’re working from home on the north side today, it sounds like there have been a lot of 🧊 sightings in neighborhoods along the northern end of the brown line. Consider stepping outside and watching your block, especially during school dismissal. People are scared and could use friendly faces.

The news that the owner of the South Shore raid building knew in advance of the raid, proactively identified non-paying units to federal authorities, and permitted/endorsed the raid fits squarely in the category of information that is essentially expected, but still horrifying.

Magic Mike's Last Dance is such a powerful film. Right at the start, Magic Mike is told the next time he dances, the world will END. He tries so hard not to cause the gyration apocalypse but is ultimately left with no choice. The look on C. Tatum's face as he begins the last hip-swivel of all time

Now I’m falling asleep and she’s calling a cob

Some small, wealthy private college will eventually market a bespoke chatbot & mobile phone free academic environment, likely paired with a conservative GenEd curriculum (classical education, or the like). It will take off like wildfire. They will leap up the rankings. It’s just a matter of time.
