To whom it may concern @theonion.com, @luciengreaves.bsky.social would make the best choice for religious correspondent. I mean, who the fuck else has flustered Tucker Carlson and had Jesse Watters get flirty on air?! www.change.org/p/lucien-gre... Love, Sophie

U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says a farm community in Italy for people with addiction is a model for wellness camps designed to ease the U.S. overdose crisis. Critics say the idea is dangerous. n.pr/4cUVoWk

4 midwestern style “well it’s getting late” *slaps knee* rounds and the Druncle starts calling family to chat with us.

Welp, CBP is back to its nighttime surveillance flights over us in Chicago.

He did, however, find time to promise more tax breaks for the wealthy – another embarrassing display of how deeply out of touch this administration is with the needs of working families. The American people deserve a refund.

but feeding kids at school is a step too far

Subclade K is a whole bitch of a virus. I haven’t had a fever come back after 3 days since 2022 (whatever variant that was) of ‘Rona. Mask up or find out.

Chronic illness feels like a merry-go-round: rebuild, adapt, manage a few things well, then add more back. As a treat. Until your body says nope and you start again. You get wiser and kinder each time, but still miss who you were before. Persistence is learning how to cheer for yourself.

This is some chilling shit given the over reach of the feds right now. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Hey, this Bovino thing is a pathetic attempt to make all these horrors the fault of one guy, and it would be a serious, serious crisis if people fell for it. ICE needs to be abolished, bc this - terror, murder - are what it exists for. Nothing else. This is just an attempt to mollify us. Stay angry

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Fucking wild to me that little 5’2 Nazi cosplayer in ICE said that if someone insults them - it’s justified action to shoot, maim or kill.

Friends don't let friends follow AltNPS

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

God answering my prayers that these losers freeze their dicks off

Like so many others, @andral404.bsky.social risked his life and safety yesterday to document. Would love to see some support sent *his way specifically* this morning: account.venmo.com/u/andresachavez

“Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.”

Renee Good said “I’m not mad at you.” Alex Pretti said “Are you ok?”

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

The Chicago Tribune's @jmetr22b.bsky.social reported in late November that Espinoza Martinez, while awaiting trial in federal custody, withdrew a pretrial release motion after being informed ICE had a detainer out for his arrest and would likely act on it if given bond.

The Russians have invaded the USA.

My weekend has felt like this.

Just going to eat all my feelings by eating Arby’s. Then the only regrets I’ll have were eating Arby’s.

Hanging on to the last few hours before Monday slaps me around.

Enough people have asked so I'm doing a PREORDER- $8 per shirt sold will go to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. Abolish ICE. www.harebraineddesign.com/products/abo...

Watching people tear others down based on perception, vibes, or assumed intent - while ignoring evidence or consequence. Just shows how little logic is actually involved. Destruction without reason, compassion, or action isn’t rebellion. It’s just ego performing outrage.

The rally is stepping off into a march heading down Chicago's Michigan Avenue, a busy shopping corridor.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day. Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

“The Untold Story of How the U.S. Government Assassinated a Young Leader Who Taught the Poor to Organize” medium.com/@gxldsociety...

Chicago people! They organize. They help each other. They understand the long haul. They don’t give up.

TFW I check work emails on my phone and didn’t realize Gmail was set to show all inboxes.

2025 ending with me healing from a shingles and EBV flare seems accurate. This year had many lessons being learned and now it’s onward to another year of fuckery and fuckshit.

😭

Chicago’s snowplow naming contest returns. Here’s how to submit and vote: blockclubchi.co/4p1l5IK

The CTA's got no shortage of issues but the holiday train is such a lovely tradition.

Gray and cloudy Thursday.

With only a few hours notice, one commenter has come prepared with visual aids illustrating ICE terror across Chicagoland.

An ICE Air flight carried migrants from Alexandria, LA, to the US Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay today—the first migrants held at GTMO since October 17.

When they destroyed our Mary figure in our anti-ICE #nativity, I bet they didn’t think that we would make it MORE powerful! Honestly, if you tear something down that you don’t like, you’re pretty much never the good guy. That goes for nativities and the entire county, btw. #DHS, take note.

Um, excuse me. You dropped something.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Seen on the deck at night.

DHS used a wide variety of weapons against people in Elgin yesterday, not only tear gas. Some wild photos in this writeup from @domguan.bsky.social:
