The players are gonna need walkers for game four at this rate lmfao

this game is going to cause a measurable decrease in economic activity in Toronto tomorrow

I've washed, dried and folded and entire load of laundry since this game went to extras lmfao.

I need to buy a switch so I can play games with my queer besties. Especially so I can lose in Mario kart.

Realized I was trans at 20-21 during the pandemic and came out when I was 24. But I spent a good year of that time trying to deny that I was actually trans bc I thought it would be easier than coming out in today's world. I turn 26 in just over a month.

My favorite part of extra inning baseball is listening to the broadcast crew slowly lose their minds trying to find new and interesting things to talk about.

For contrast, this is the scene from around 6:30 last week. At the last Broadview village council meeting, protestors heckled Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson - over the protest curfews and "free speech zones" - so hard she ended the meeting early. I wonder if that explains any of the difference.

With their city caught in the country’s largest immigration enforcement operation, as many as 250,000 Chicagoans flooded Downtown on Saturday to condemn Donald Trump’s administration as part of the second nationwide No Kings protest. Photos for Block Club Chicago alongside @colinbphoto.bsky.social

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

We are going to Win Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Feds deploy tear gas in Albany Park as neighbors respond to them detaining people. One person was taken, though another was freed. “I was afraid to go over there. I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back."

Based on all the social media reports, today may have been the busiest Friday for ICE activity that we’ve seen since this surge started. With hundreds of police now protecting ICE’s facility for them, presumably ICE is able to deploy more agents to snatch people.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

It's not special treatment for reporters—it's critically important to maintain the ability to document police activities after they've ordered assemblies to disperse. Again and again, we've seen cops are most likely to get more violent with demonstrators when out of public view.

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.

Recent Protest Coverage for @blockclubchi.bsky.social - Rev. Michael Woolf, of Lake Street Church in Evanston, is shoved back by Customs and Border Protection agents during a protest outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility in Broadview on Friday, Oct. 3, 2025.

Ngl having one of my best friends talking about her work on CNN is pretty cool, y'all.

The FAA just issued an absolutely enormous drone flight restriction over Chicago for the next week for security reasons. This is in addition to a 0.5NM TFR over the Broadview ICE processing facility. tfr.faa.gov/tfr3/?page=d...

DHS response to this + Chicago Headline Club statement on @peoplesfabric.com being detained and reporters being “shot intentionally with bean bags, chemical munitions” by federal agents outside Broadview: “No member of the media at CBS or any other outlet was ‘attacked.’“

We working on verifying and documenting reports of multiple journalists assaulted, arrested and other press freedom violations while they covered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activities in and around Chicago recently. Here's what we're tracking so far:

Broadview Police have opened an investigation into an attack from federal agents on a CBS crew at Broadview, per BPD Chief Mills.

This is the biggest development out of Broadview today:

In our holding cell last night, there were 7 white men, two Black men, and one trans woman. In the women’s cell there was one woman. 7 protesters were released last night. You already know which ones those were and which ones were shackled and transferred to an unknown location.

I forgot to mention, I assume someone eventually realized that having a journalist inside for hours observing them was less than ideal so they taped bags up over every window in our cell so we couldn’t see out. At least not as well anyway, there are always gaps.

I’m out, I'm sore. I'll have more later, but right now I have to say a couple of things. First, walking out of there to learn about the kindness, support, and quick action from so many of you all has meant the world to me, my wife, and co-founder, Raven. Thank you.

although it's good news he wasn't charged, this situation is absurd. he was singled out in the crowd on suspicion of... what? filming a brief altercation between an agen and a protester? 1) this is a shocking attack on the press. 2) this is an attack on anyone with a phone's rights.

via @unraveledpress.com, Steve Held has been released.

Journalism is not a crime. My friend Steve has done critically important work here in Chicago and we must stand up for the First Amendment and the public’s right to know.

Steve (@peoplesfabric.com), @unraveledpress.com, @thetriibe.com (and others with them) have been doing some of the most phenomenal coverage of ICE ops/protests in Chicago. They’ve had a journalist shot in the face w/ pepper balls and another detained for it. Journalism is not a crime. Free Steve.

ICE must release Steve and must stop targeting journalists

I encourage all the media outlets who are about to send people to ”war ravaged” Portland to think twice. Some of the strongest extremism reporters in the country live in this region; journalists who understand the culture of the Northwest and the history of activism here. Do it right this time okay?

I joke a lot but the Houston Astros helped me fall in love baseball. They helped me fall in love with Houston, too, and I'll always be grateful for the memories.

This reporter helped expose the falsity of ICE's narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. His work is a perfect example of why we don't have secret police. Journalists have a constitutional right to cover protests and their aftermath. Release @peoplesfabric.com immediately.

A journalist has been detained by ICE at Broadview tonight.

people in dc: “we fucking warned you over and over and over again and few of you even talked about us”

Chaos again, feds tackling protesters at random. They just detained @peoplesfabric.com.

ICE has threatened a “sh*t show” in Broadview today, per a village statement. “ICE is seeking to intimidate the Village of Broadview because we dared exercise our 1st Amendment constitutional rights calling for an end to their war on Broadview. We will not be intimidated. We are Broadview strong.”

Here in Broadview outside the ICE facility, tall fencing has gone up and Broadview Police have Beach Street blocked off to traffic with barricades from Cook County EMRS. #OnAssignment for @blockclubchi.bsky.social

The New York Times, while responsible for tons of hurtful coverage about trans people, did not run the "transgender ideology on bullets" story. The Wall Street Journal did, and in fact NYT actually came out and said that it wasn't confirmed, contradicting the WSJ story

i'm sure this will spread just as far as the original
