Sad thing is, I expect most Americans to not know about this.

A Luna Moth hatched in my front yard. A little early for this?

Prez Pedophile wants $200 Billion for the Iran war. Watch to see how your federal representatives vote on that.

Osees last night at Thalia. Unreal show. Brigid shows up to sing. I can't hear anything.

Fulfill your promise @jbpritzker.bsky.social You said if any of us got hurt, you would do everything in your power to get ICE out. Ice just killed another person in Chicago injuring many more. Do what you said.

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this. Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

So it looks like Gregory Mitchell is the alder for this South Shore ward (I thought it was Yancy); he barely has a social media presence and has said nothing about this. It's literally national news and he is nowhere to be found. Chicago's 50 aldermen truly are the most useless people in history

If you live in Illinois, we need your help. This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

❗ ABJECT CRUELTY & DEPRAVITY. In Chicago's South Shore, federal agents went after Black Americans--US citizens--& Venezuelan families. They dragged a 67 y/o American man outside, leaving him ziptied for hours. They dragged out Venezuelan families, some unclothed, separating parents & kids. @wbez.org

Chicago is being terrorized by ICE terror squads.

How the fuck are we not issuing consequences for this shit? Something's got to give, cause this ain't right. C'mon mayor and Governor, time to defend our people. #fuckice www.wbez.org/immigration/...

Hey, if current events are causing you anxiety, just remember...It can only good happen!

BREAKING: Body camera footage obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times shows the scene after an ICE agent fatally shot Silverio Villegas González. The ICE agent said his injuries were "nothing major," video shows, but DHS reported the agent was “seriously injured.” trib.al/Utk0Szp

Oh my god, this poor woman. She looks like she came straight from work.

Freedom is when you get tear gassed by the secret police for protesting on a public street

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

JUST NOW — Our reporters are at the Broadview ICE facility (outside of Chicago) where protestors have been demonstrating since 5:00 a.m. As a cargo van left the facility, a federal agent on the roof started shooting what seems to be pepper balls at protestors just before 9:00 a.m. 🎥: The TRiiBE

Important to note that the person who posted this false accusation is the Illinois state director for The Conservative Caucus

A @chicago.suntimes.com visual journalist - who is an outstanding professional and colleague, btw - was among those tear gassed this morning by ICE during a protest in the Chicago suburbs chicago.suntimes.com/live/ice-age...

By @staceywescott.bsky.social, who has been doing stellar work for the Chicago Tribune.

This guy pretty much nails how I feel about the whole thing. youtu.be/XMFwj30seEg?...

CHICAGO: LOUD FOR AMERICA

I think all of us, on some level, feel this. youtu.be/awKjusa-JFQ?...

A perfect encapsulation of our country right now.

Wife got me a bartender's guide, crystal mixing glass, and strainer for xmas. Now, she is slightly annoyed that I am shitfaced at 2 pm.

Has Trump renamed Mar-a-lago the Eagle's Nest yet?

Looking for feeds on live music in Chicago. Mostly underground stuff. Anyone have a suggestion?

At some point in my life, this became as beautiful as a perfect sunset.
