Makes me want to move further away from cash than ever before.

Father of six, grabbed in front of his crying children as he was about to take them to school.

I get that this has been almost entirely theater but I actually think it's quite bad if the people of DC become habituated to the presence of military personnel in the streets, for a whole host of reasons

Is that @meredithshiner.com's music I hear?

I early voted yesterday and used the @injusticewatch.org guide to learn more about the judges on the ballot. Thanks to @danhinkel.bsky.social et al!

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

"At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome."

Unpopular opinion: Ryan Murphy sucks.

One fewer R in the Senate for some time will be nice. Would love to hear from experts about the process to replace a Senator in Oklahoma in the meantime.

Happy Birthday, #Chicago! Cheers to 189 years 🍻🥳

Happy birthday Chicago! "Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning."

LOL at the Dense Fog Advisory this morning.

This is going around and it is *NOT TRUE*. Polis is considering commuting her sentence, which is in of itself a tragedy. Nonetheless I'm annoyed at how many accounts I am seeing reposting this nonsense.

Happy election day to those who celebrate! The guide you need: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the... The thread you need:

I think we all need an aardvark today

What are words even good for at this point?

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker writes a letter to President Trump after the Supreme Court revoked his tariffs as illegal: “On behalf of the people of Illinois, I demand a refund of $1,700 for every family in Illinois.”

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Honestly, thank goodness.

Looking forward to all of the people supposedly worried about antisemitism calling this out.

Watch this because CBS, the FCC, and the Trump Administration don't want you to.

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

Fuck agencies preying on people's empathy as a way to entrap them.

“What was your No. 1?” “The fritters!” “No. 5?” “I don’t have a No. 5.” I didn’t either. This kid who barely touched his food had made all the right calls.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

6/ “When I arrived every night I cried and now I don’t sleep well, I felt that being here was my fault and I only wanted to be on vacation like a normal family.” 9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya, detained on her way to Disney World, spent 113+ days at Dilley.

Really important thread -->

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse. Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch." Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

It makes me really sad that so many white people can't tell the difference between that child actor and Liam.

Soooo is anyone missing a husky? Found by Grand and Division, no tags

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

“Imagine what the government would’ve said if I had died” The federal government continuing to call her a “domestic terrorist” despite dropping the charges is a violation of her rights as the Supreme Court has interpreted the 5th, 6th, & 14th Amendments.

This is the shadow government so many folks on here have advocated for. Watch the hearing!

Important thread, please help before ICE/CBP arrive -->

"Financing is completed, and fully in place!" is yet another example of the Executive Branch usurping Article I powers of the purse. Congress and the Supreme Court have a duty to intervene -- and their dereliction will be a clear example of the constitutional crisis and loss of democracy we are in.

New way to help: donate Delta Skymiles to get people home to Minnesota if they're released from detention in Texas.

This is 100% of Minneapolis' own making. Innovative and seemingly effective! 👏🏻

Chicagoans had campaigns to buy out local tamale vendors who couldn't go out on the street and redistribute that food to families in need! Always good to find multiple ways to help in one fell swoop.

Don Lemon was not the only journalist arrested -- Georgia Fort was as well. Don Lemon has the resources to come out of this just fine. Georgia Fort may not. Let's make sure the focus is on both of them.

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

“When your ‘bug’ consistently affects anti-Trump content, Epstein references, and anti-ICE videos, you’re looking at either spectacular coincidence or systems that have been designed to flag and suppress specific political content.”
