No city on earth produces true, honest-to-God Broads like Chicago.

Every day there’s a new reason to be glad I cancelled my WaPo subscription when I did.

Nightswimming Come Talk To Me Blood of Eden Mercy Street Galileo Mystery Cedar Tree Add Silent All These Years? Sugar? Bells for Her? They Might Be Giants for levity. 10,000 Maniacs to show intellect. Pearl Jam for intensity. An 80s throwback hit shows versatility. Oh, this was Old Magic indeed.

Abolish ICE and put everyone who worked for it on trial, Nuremburg-style.

I have no idea what kind of chances MTG has, but I continue to believe that it is inevitable that America will have a woman President and that woman will be a hard core conservative. White men on the whole simply won't vote for a woman unless they think she'll secretly do what they tell her to.

Welp. Time to once again reset my “It has been X days since Pete Buttigieg said something embarrassing” clock.

I would think this is amazing even if I didn’t live in Chicago.

Nazis took pictures of themselves marching down the Champs-Elysees for the same reasons.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

The Chicago Resistance Sheltered workers during a raid “How do you radicalize middle-aged white women? You throw tear gas at them” Local leader began passing out whistles “Best thing we do in Chicago is organize” “We had to protect our people” “Show ‘em you don’t F w Chicago” archive.ph/uBc6e

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

Jesus this poor kid's terror is heartbreaking. I hadn't even considered yet the lifelong trauma that Trump and Miller are gleefully inflicting on an entire generation of people and how much their actions are going to fuck up entire lives for decades to come.

This is not my neighborhood, but ICE has used similar tactics where I live. It's not law enforcement. It's not peacekeeping. It's not even stopping the bad guys. It's rounding up teachers and construction workers to make whole neighborhoods afraid to leave their houses. It's terrorism. Fuck ICE.

Listen, I have said this on here before and it's becoming clear that I'm going to probably keep saying it, likely for years from now until after she completes her second term as President of the United States - Danica Roem is very, VERY good at her job.

This seems handy to know...

Alternate headline: Masked Men Forcibly Abduct Woman from Daycare Center

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.

If nothing else, I hope tonight hits home to some folk on here why it is that doomerism and giving in is not only wasteful, but actively harmful. Be clear-eyed. Stand for what you know is right. Giving up is not savvier or smarter than pushing onward.

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

Now THIS is how you write an obituary. (Also, not for nothing, I hope Valerie Plame is having a wonderful day today.) www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Fellow Chicagoans! Here's a great way to help families of the victims abducted by ICE.

Citing a Trump order about “restoring biological truth,” the VA is making it more difficult for male veterans with breast cancer to get their care covered by the government. The disease is deadlier than for women and “notably higher among veterans,” research shows. By @ericumansky.bsky.social

JB - I'm begging you - PLEASE use this as your campaign slogan. "Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off."

42M people are going to starve from lack of nutrition & Donald Trump & JD Vance have their talking points it's a "Democratic shutdown". A REAL President & Vice President would NEVER entertain the thought of approximately 1/7 of their constituents going hungry. THIS IS ALL ON THEM!

This is the truest thing I've read in weeks.

You mean to tell me the high authority of the Assyrian church in the east and the high authority of the Roman Catholic church of the west are both originally from Chicago AND support opposing hometown baseball teams? The world is fucking WILD right now. What even IS 2025?

People on here need to learn to take a deep breath and use some critical thinking skills rather than engaging in knee-jerk doomerism every time Bannon and Trump claim we're at the start of a new 1,000-year Trump Reich.

Never, ever, EVER buy ANYTHING Harry Potter-branded. Period. Full stop.

Honestly, I love this song.

This is how it works: We protect each other, period. These are our neighbors, our friends, our family. We do the things we have to do to ensure that as many of us can make it to tomorrow as possible. Not everyone does. I need you to understand that we tried. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

🚨 What no one is talking about is that not only was the Jaqueline Kennedy Garden torn up, but there are several commemorative trees that were taken down too. From the satellite pic it looks like only Laura Bush’s survived. 👇 www.nps.gov/whho/learn/h...

NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing. (📸 Getty Images)

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

I love you, Canada. 🍁

This is what it used to look like inside the lobby area.

I'm trying to gather photos of the things Donald Trump has destroyed so that maybe once people see the actual damage he is causing, they'll finally understand how much more damage he means to do to all of us. These places belonged to us. Trump took them and destroyed them.

Here's another picture of a room that no longer exists because Donald Trump ordered it destroyed today.

Great thread you can use to take action if you're also pissed off that 34-time convicted felon Donald Trump just demolished a third of the White House illegally.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The next President needs to claw back every fucking scent Trump steals, seize all his properties and assets under eminent domain, and prosecute every member of his family. Just obliterate the Trump name from history. Fuck your racist dumbass feelings if that upsets you.

Just a real good reminder that the White House isn't even the first time Donald Trump has destroyed priceless pieces of American art and history. If he's willing to do it to the White House (which is illegal, btw), what makes you think he won't do it to something that is currently yours?

It looks even worse by video 😢

Not for nothing, but this kind of looks like what the 9/11 hijackers on the fourth plane were aiming to make the White House look like before they were forced down into a field in Pennsylvania. Donald Trump has done what Bin Ladin couldn't.

Don't engage. Don't try to dunk. Just block away until they're as bitter and mad as JD Vance yelling at girls to be grateful for the chance to dance with him at his high school prom.
