Watching ice age for the first time in forever and I think I’m just a bunch of ice age quotes strung together in the shape of a person

Multiple sources have confirmed that ICE/Border Patrol is headed back to the Raleigh and Durham areas for undefined deportation actions. We've heard 50 ICE agents, charter flights and hotels booked for all of them in the Raleigh area. Let us know what you hear.

Another fun game: “Do I Keep Muddling Through This Career Field I Chose While Being Woefully Under-informed About Said Career Field Or Do I Give Up And Go Back to School”

Hey hi let us not forget that both Noah Schnapp and Bret Gelman are loud proud zionists and we shouldn’t be watching stranger things

Let’s play a fun game called “Do I Want To Die Or Am I Just Shopping For Health Insurance Plans”

Tldr I hate capitalism pitting us against each other, I just want to offer people my services and expertise without having to make a living

I really hate how sick it makes me feel to charge a late cancellation fee. I think I've probably whined about it here before but like... I'm genuinely debating whether spending the rest of the day an anxious mess is worth being paid a little bit for my missed income 😭

Chicago’s Operation Midway Blitz has led to a surge in ICE raids. Families are hiding for days, missing work and losing income. Wage theft complaints are up as workers face fear and exploitation. @sarahlazare.bsky.social reports with @workdaymagazine.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/undo...

Earlier today, I learned about the unlivable conditions inside an apartment complex that was the recent target of an ICE raid in September. Some of the remaining residents, who are Black, shared that the conditions were inhumane long before the September raid. thetriibe.com/2025/11/buil...

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union. They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration. More updates TK.

I’m already done Christmas shopping 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

chia pet joonie era let's goooooo

Today in US fascism; US Coast Guard (DHS) no longer considers the swastika a hate symbol, Border Patrol essentially admits it tried to murder a community member in Chicago by shooting them multiple times and lied about it, and Trump publicly calls for the execution / hanging of government officials.

Worth remembering as this unfolds that it was disabled people and people from ethnic minority backgrounds who disproportionately died. Tens of thousands needlessly lost their lives, many who died alone or with just an iPad. Thousands more were left with life changing Long Covid. A true scandal.

Lost in the Lights My Jimin like crazy hoop is finally complete! He sparkles so much under certain angles and light. I’m happy to have finally had a chance to embroider him. #bts #btsembroidery #jimin #likecrazy

The whole world seems to be crazy, It feels like the end - Am I Wrong

ICE terror is a disability justice issue

Is it nuts to say I'll finish ten books before the end of the year? I kind of want to get through my TBR pile lol

in this week's make it make sense, a weekly news roundup from the @chicagoreader.com: 1/ 🪖 border patrol chief greg bovino and his gang of masked brutes skipped town (for now)—but that doesn't mean federal agents are done disappearing chicagoans.

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.

my friends in LA & I have been talking about this a lot—about how it seems that LA has been forgotten, even as we face some of the worst kidnappings we’ve seen all year

Just got a targeted Instagram ad for holiday wrapped toilet paper that comes in a box of like, 4 dozen individually festive-wrapped toilet paper…. What have I done to earn this 😭

so far away #btsart #yoongi

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

615 of the estimated 3,000+ detained immigrants who were kidnapped in Chicagoland during Midway Blitz are expected to be eligible for bond this week. The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund shows up for people in detention who need bond, but it costs, at minimum, $1,500 per person. Pls help them.

From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning: "God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."

“This crisis was entirely avoidable – the Trump Administration had the funding to fully support SNAP but chose not to, putting tens of millions of Americans at risk of hunger,” IDHS said in an emailed statement. thetriibe.com/2025/11/food...

NEW — Illinois food stamp recipients will receive full benefits by Nov. 20. The payout comes after the longest government shutdown in history came to an end earlier this week. thetriibe.com/2025/11/food...

hello from outside the ice detention center in broadview, illinois. there’s a decent crowd of protesters already here and more folks trickling in. leaders across faith traditions have organized this morning’s demonstration to demand ice to stop kidnapping community members.

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd. he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him. situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Bovino seems like he’s getting closer to admitting their entire premise is a lie, it has nothing to do with the law, and his mission is really about ethnic cleaning and terror.

And Illinois State Police provides access to gang database info to DHS. In June, I found that DHS Enforcement and Removal Operations signed a data sharing agreement with ISP in *2024*. news.wttw.com/2025/06/02/i...

let me dig out this meme I saved off twitter 5 fucking years ago

There have been reports of DHS sources saying they plan to deploy four times as many agents here in March. Whether that's accurate or not, I think we all knew that if they opted out of the deep winter in Chicago, they'd be back after the thaw. We need to synthesize what we've learned and prepare.

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

I tried to buy a cheaper store brand version of my shampoo and it flattened and dried out my hair… one wash with the name brand shampoo and it’s back to its normal curls and volume. So much for saving money lol

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Once again I am begging people to stop attributing this to cowardice. It's not.

The emerging deal will be that Democrats get fuck all and then go on thanksgiving break while 41.7 million people slip into food insecurity. Fucking hell

“Some of you were tear-gassed right in front of and alongside useless CPD officers and still think they deserve the largest share of the city’s public safety budget. Some of you are still waiting for the police to come to your rescue and save you from the bad guys. Don’t hold your breath.”

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order limits how and when feds can use gas in the Chicago area. It restricts the use of gas in "residential or commercial areas" that could risk injury to a plaintiff class member "who is not causing an immediate threat of physical harm to another person"
