I did a cameo. Learn more about it on Monday's episode of @ohmalortpod.bsky.social.

i love absolutely everything about this

It’s a serious logistical challenge to operate effectively in an industrial area in the burbs, but Chicago’s throwing down hard. They give me hope. ❤️

To people who are confused about the DMB references with the Feds being on the Chicago River. I did an episode for @ohmalortpod.bsky.social about the incident. Listen on the app of your choice. pod.link/1684738593/e...

Fitzgerald, known as “Elliot Ness with a law degree,” is the former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois who prosecuted not one (1) but two (2) corrupt Illinois governors (one of whom was pardoned by the president) and media mogul Conrad Black (also pardoned by the president.)

Are they planning to snatch tourists off the Wendella cruise?

Hmmm....

It tool a few weeks but CPD solved DMB and Smollett via surveillance cameras.

I dunno. Maybe we shouldn't have shifted most of our federal resources to Immigration?

Stephen Sondheim wrote a musical called "The Assassins" based on true events. There was enough political violence to serve as source material.

STFU About Chicago (hot dog editions) #chicago

A visual aid—two of the main sites of DHS/ICE activity OTG in Chicagoland right now are not in Chicago proper*, the end

Darkly amusing that the president who pardoned Ross Ulbricht also says illicit drugs are such a threat to national security that he can use the military to assassinate suspected drug dealers with no due process.

Thousands marched Downtown Saturday to protest President Trump, who posted on social media that Chicago "is about to find out why it's called the Department of War." blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/06/t...

This isn't corporate but a city program to combat rats.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

Chicago forever

PLEASE STOP SPREADING THIS MISINFORMATION!!!! The city is deploying salt trucks to block roads into downtown in anticipation of the traditional Mexican Independence Day car caravans. This has nothing to do with keeping ICE out, and if anything it will probably only help them.

Some of the signage I saw while running errands

Quick reminder for some - don't share rumors or things that can't be confirmed, don't have dates, etc - even if it's seemingly good news. That only confuses an already very bad situation. There are MANY good journos and photogs on the ground doing fantastic work. Look for and amplify that.

This goes out to you know who! #chicago

The Mexican Independence Day Parade in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood went on as planned today despite concern of disruption by federal immigration agents. While parade festivities were underway, volunteers patrolled the area for on lookout for federal agents.

my bf put on fox news and left. they have a live cam of just.. the sears tower? are they anticipating 9/11 or something

This is a gem!

tRump needs to back off our city. #Chicago

The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Totally normal. I also suspect most of the focus will be near the Navy base which is NOT Chicago.

Happy Labor Day. In this episode Alyssa tells @molls.bsky.social about the Haymarket Affair and the origin of the 8-hour work day. Listen on the app of your choice www.pod.link/1684738593/e...

Today, a woman "lost" her dog who was wearing a lifejacket on her paddle board in the Playpen. Luckily they were reunited. PSA, don't paddle board into the playpen with your pet.

An Ald posted Chicago should have fireworks on the 4th. 1) He should talk to someone in a position to make that happen. Wait, that would be him. 2) In recent history Chicago's fireworks on the 4th was a tradition from 2010-2019. Don't tell him about the bottle water tax.

A legend. You ain’t from Chicago if he hasn’t told you you’re going to hell
