Happy pig. ❤️

Chicago rode this toxic fuckstick out of town on a rail. He lives in Florida now. Who gives a flying fuck what he thinks of NYC?

Empathy and solidarity with LA. ❤️ It’s like this in Chicago too. Roving bands of fascist paramilitaries snatching people from their families and neighbors. It’s heartbreaking, and infuriating.

Khan's appointment sends a message to the tech industry, whose most powerful players have already been critical of Mamdani, a Democratic socialist.

Crime goes up and down, but the Chicago Police budget always goes up.

Wow. I didn’t know this.

With chemical weapons, CPD prefers liquids, because gas is indiscriminate. CBP prefers gas *because* it’s indiscriminate.

These provocations are designed to escalate conflict. Be careful what you wish for.

❤️👏

Chicago’s under siege. Trump’s provocations have us on the verge of civil unrest. So it’s heartening to see allies in NYC stepping up. ❤️

Dark Woke returns. 💚

Diversity is a strength; it confers resilience.

This issue is a winner for us. We should treat it as such.

Immigrants are a blessing. ❤️

We need to stop these people before they strike again!

New Yorkers: Please turn out for this guy. We’re rooting for you.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

This sucks.

New graffiti art in my Rogers Park, Chicago, neighborhood.

No government agency is safe. They’re all working with ICE.

New awareness campaign

Daylight saving time is a scam invented by Big Time to sell more clocks.

Don’t call 911. Chicago police support ICE. They can’t be trusted.

I cut my teeth as an Irish Republican doing prisoner support, one of the few legal avenues open to us. And prisoner support consumed a good deal of my adult activism on Ireland. Many of our best activists are graduates of Long Kesh University.

Hard to beat Catholics on evil fictional characters.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

🧵🧵 This thread highlights some of media people and organizations energetically covering the Trump regime’s campaign to terrorize Chicagoans. These folks are well worth a Bluesky follow. Of special note is Unraveled, the kind of independent journalism we need when some legacy outlets are in retreat.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

'We're not a violent city': Chicago locals take on ICE block-by-block reut.rs/4qDiyGV

Chicago is a very turf-conscious place. If you come here to make a new life for yourself we will embrace you. But if you come to our neighborhood to make trouble, even in our most conservative areas, we will hate you with the intensity of a thousand suns.

The Irish I come from ain’t scared of ghouls; they’re scared of us.

Far Left here, and second-generation antifascist. ✋Platner can FOAD. My late father would have shot him dead.

All we’ve got is each other. But that’s enough.

Not necessarily a bright idea when everyone has an excuse to wear a disguise. But go off, Queen.

My father too.

A malignant effort toward trans erasure.

The paywall is your friend. Rahm is hot trash, and a spectacular failure. But his brother’s a big deal in entertainment so trash writers shill for him.

Low-intensity warfare is uncanny. We continue to go to work, bring kids to school, shop for groceries, etc. But our everyday routines are punctuated by random episodes of spectacular violence; war as a way of life.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals puts a hold on Judge Sara Ellis’ order requiring U.S. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino to appear in court daily.

On the TRO blocking deployment of troops in Chicago, it’ll be a little longer before we get a decision.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

You could say they’re cosplaying Nazis, but they’re not playing.

Jack DeJohnette, just one of the deepest musicians ever, and a personal hero. Here is my obituary for NPR Music.

The anxiety on the streets of Chicago is oppressive, almost palpable under a thin veneer of absence.
