Again it’s important to remember the context of these chats is that a woman was shot five times in her car as she was attempting to donate clothes at a church.

The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.” But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public! substack.com/@gelliottmor...

I have the best fuckin Congresswoman

I love being from Chicago because I just very seriously had the thought "It's 40° out—I should have lunch outside!"

the purpose of shit like this is to kill people who didn't vote for him. blue states are conquered territory, not fellow citizens.

"Nama-stay away from me you dirty leftists"

An opera about gassy ladies called Cosi fan Tooty

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?

Hey they're not called 3%ers for nothing

Look, all you need to know about the situation is that Green Day sang "American Idiot" at the opening and explicitly told ICE to quit their jobs at their show on Saturday and Bad Bunny said a bunch of stuff in Spanish and alllll the headlines and angry posts are about Bad Bunny. You know why.

If you call it a "pitch" you simply do not get to opine.

the bad bunny football concert is even better after knowing exactly how mad it made the worst people

no eres mis casa bonita no eres mis esposa bonita

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

You'd think Trump might like Bad Bunny. After all, one of his role models is also named Benito.

Why didn't he just take the post-it off?

This is now a Yuma Kagiyama stan account

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

Already reposted the quoted post but just started cracking up all over again because I can’t believe we saw a wholesome example of this exact format in the wild

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

"I'll kick your butt to pizza hut" just got more threatening. It'll be all that much further to kick their butt now.

Viva l'Italia!

The movement in Chicago really dropped the ball in the State's Attorney's race in 2024. We ran an largely unknown candidate and put lackluster energy behind him and still only lost by under 2000 votes. This was avoidable — a winnable fight we let ourselves lose, with huge negative consequences.

Interesting stat from the article

"power holds no value unless it is exercised"

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Got a little charm of a legendary Han Dynasty general for my bag. That's my Lu Bu Bu.

I’m going to make one for Saint Paul but the second part would read “quietly reading large books at home.”

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

I used to say that Abe Lincoln replacing Hannibal Hamlin with Andrew Jackson was the most disastrously consequential personnel decision in US history. Biden appointing Garland might be worse. At least Lincoln was trying to win an election—Biden was just trying to thumb his nose at Mitch McConnell.

Confused as to how Josh Shapiro thinks it is appropriate to compare student protestors to the KKK but inappropriate to compare ICE to the Gestapo

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

The Cook County Board President race becoming a referendum on ICE collaboration would be the very best thing to happen for the Preckwinkle campaign.

10/10 ICE protest sign

there has been no de-escalation.

They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

HBO: In my show I have invented the Wambsgans, as a cautionary tale Trump: At long last, I have endorsed the Wambsgans from the hit television program Don't Empower the Wambsgans

Miller is pretty clearly pining for the time when “foreign labor classes” were denied citizenship right. That’s chattel slavery, bracero labor, and Asian men branded as forever foreigners. And none of that is very many generations ago. It shouldn’t be hard to say we refuse to return to that.

The sharp high income-low income border running N-S through Edgewater and Uptown just east of the lake is Broadway. That's the context for the furor over the Broadway rezoning, which has come 90% from the dark blue tracts

Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."

Shocked, shocked to learn this odious globule of sputum is antisemitic

Wild that Durbin keeps taking these awful votes even though he's not running for reelection. Truly just being evil for the love of the game.

They said "free speech" and "academic freedom" but never believed in either and now in texas you need a permission slip to mention race in class and they're fine with it. Might not have worked if people with large platforms weren't furious about marginal increases of black people in their offices

I cannot emphasize this enough: a bunch of Minneapolis CMs are pulling beyond their weight and other ones owe their constituents apologies at the very least
