perfect, no notes

You all know we won't shut up about this, but there is a specific dynamic of national outlets reporting on Chicago carelessly—as if there are no real stakes here because the middle of the country is a big black hole to them Thanks to @huffpost.com for participating in it!!!

Killer night with the homies for Won's popup at Sportsman's Club. Banger sando, excellent DJs, and good vibes all around

There are so many excellent cabbage recipes, but this one has the benefit of being extremely easy AND an amazing complement to super savory / fatty proteins. www.seriouseats.com/spicy-cabbag...

Deleted my earlier quote of the Broadview huffpo story based on the below. No matter what the fight is not anywhere close to over

The Anakin quote goes hard here ngl

I am about to become more holly and jolly than you can possibly imagine

Can confirm this shit has picked up in a really maddening way

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

One thing about the "It's legal for the president to commit crimes" Supreme Court ruling is it's also functionally legal for everyone the president employs to commit crimes. In my opinion that's Not Good

yes we did add this to @katmabu.bsky.social's discord, with thanks to our friends at @killthecomputer.com join today discord.gg/katforillinois

Really great essay from @jamellebouie.net “If the aim of one faction is to dominate all the others … then discussion is less useful than a willingness to defend liberal society in the face of tyranny and despotism.” (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

What the fuck, man.

We can't talk about what's going on without talking about the deplorable state of law enforcement in this country and Democrats can't do that until they discard reflexive rhetoric like "Of course we have to respect the police." No we don't! Not when they act like this! And you should say it!

@mulchy.bsky.social is a dedicated reporter and organizer who has been on the Bad Guys in Uniform beat for a while (he didn't just pop up out of nowhere!). Read some of his work:

Amazing turnout today! We're sitting a little further up so I didn't get a good shot of the overall crowd, but the attendance has been fantastic and the breakout groups are really good. (feat. a selfie w @katmabu.bsky.social)

the @nlgchicago.bsky.social condemns the “violent actions” of ice/border patrol on friday outside the broadview detention center. in a statement, nlg says feds targeted protesters w/o provocation & sent 2 people to the hospital. 10 people arrested. some were let go miles away behind a gas station.

Looking forward to seeing folks soon at the NWS ICE Emergency Response Town Hall! This will be a great opportunity to learn how you can get involved in standing up for your neighbors. Happening at Roosevelt High School at the top of the hour!

NLG Chicago Denounces Violent Federal Law Enforcement Response to Protest in Broadview, IL (1/2) On Friday, federal agents significantly escalated their attacks on speech and people protesting at the now notorious ICE detention facility in suburban Broadview, IL.

These are the real ones out in the tear gas making sure protesters aren't disappeared. Please support today:

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel. First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

One thing to understand about most “Disney Adults” is that the parks have only gotten more expensive and crowded while offering less ever since they reopened in 2020 so it doesn’t take that much more to make people stop going. And the theme park forums are rightfully pissed about Kimmel

Making my way through all the Mission Impossible movies and I have made it to Fallout for tonight, I am extremely excited

What's up fellow game members, anyone trying to play Fortnite?

Crazy how all these “lifelong democrats” popping up happen to follow Curtis Yarvin

something something political violence

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

we have to abolish ICE

my similar take is that when ezra klein says "we need to learn to live with each other," he means he thinks the right wing insurgence is going to win, and he thinks it behooves him and his listeners to change in that direction so as to maintain favor/popularity with the fascist ruling class

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

hm that sure sounds like someone with a job endorsing political violence to me

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

This guy with a "LICK MY BUTTHOLE FEDS" sign has been standing on top of his car this whole time. Confirmed at least one protester snatched by ICE in the chaos.

my friend’s friends’ parents were kidnapped by ice agents the other day at cicero and pershing, please sign this petition to help get them released!! actionnetwork.org/petitions/re...

Trump unveils new $1,000,000 "Gold Card" visa people have to buy for entry into the US "The reason corporations like H1B visas is because workers have to keep their job to stay in the fucking country, to fix that you need wage parity and make sure the threat of deportation is not imminent"

made the mistake of reading some of the replies to the dhs post of kat getting thrown on the ground. our country is severely broken. take care of the people you love, keep working for a better tomorrow, the work is worth it but the it is going to be very uphill for a long time

Absolutely tremendous game that had me an emotional wreck when I played it on launch. Play the original first, IMO, but this is a solid sale buy.

This man is one of the campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable, and apparently capable of taking the coolest photo of 2025.

Trying to buy tickets to see the new Taylor Swift album party release in theaters is somehow harder than trying to buy Eras Tour tickets

Kat is still out there fighting four hours after this. I'm just fucking livid.

A group of local tow truck drivers are offering to tow people's work vans to work sites without charge if they're afraid of being taken by ICE while driving, which is a neat spontaneous community response to all of this

city: we're going to enforce speed limits angry drivers: this is an unfair cash grab. If you want people to drive slower, change the streets city: we're changing the streets so people drive slower angry drivers: not like that

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

This happened about 15 minutes ago. ICE just took one of the protesters inside the facility. This is the first time that’s ever happened. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. Free our friend. Free our neighbors. Shut down this facility.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.
