NEW — Ahead of tonight's game, we wanted to know how Black Chicagoans can somehow choose the Green Bay Packers over the Bears. These three men shared their origin stories with us. "The Packers have mostly been better than the Bears in my lifetime," one fan said. thetriibe.com/2025/12/i-do...

It's game day in Chicago. Part two of the Bears vs. Green Bay Packers matchup will take place at Soldier Field tonight at 7:20 p.m. Where will you be watching the game? Here's a story about a local Black-owned lounge that gets pretty lit on game day. thetriibe.com/2025/12/a-wi...

“if you keep retreating, your thoughts and feelings won’t be heard…”

The Triibe is back Bluesky! To celebrate I just donated. You can do the same. Support local media. @thetriibe.com is why we know what’s going on in Chicago. thetriibe.com

ahh so that’s why TNT/TBS has played the Hunger Game series damn near every weekend this year. they were prepping everybody lol

NEW — Organizers and progressive alders pushed back against the alternate budget, which includes plans to sell Chicagoans' unpaid debts. "It can be devastating, especially when you have high property taxes in South and West Side,” Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez said. thetriibe.com/2025/12/alte...

NEW — Community members decried local police in Chicago and suburban Evanston; both departments were accused of assisting Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and his Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. thetriibe.com/2025/12/mayo...

Another thing that he said he was going to do if elected. I'm still wondering what people thought was going to happen when they were screwing around last November.

OK, y'all. We're back... Major thanks to @rude1.blacksky.team and the brilliant Blacksky platform he's built. We bypassed the "age assurance" hurdle by logging into Blacksky. Give Rudy all the things, y'all. All the things!

so, so glad i didn’t watch that speech

the road to 2027 is off to an [insert word of choice] start

"Vallas rarely takes responsibility for his failures, and that was the case here as well."

NEW — In a Facebook video, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss unpacks his confrontation with Border Patrol Cmdr Greg Bovino today in the Chicago suburb. Bovino, he said, “threatened us, said he’s going to continue the enforcement.” thetriibe.com/2025/12/evan...

Day 6 of not having access to our @thetriibe.com account 🙃 @support.bsky.team @esb.lol was able to help us log in, but we were stopped — again — in our tracks by the "age assurance" message. We assure you. We're all adults over here.

mixed signals

my Pattern is so spot on this week

NEW — Multiple progressive alderpeople and Mayor Brandon Johnson allies raised red flags about the potential impact of the counter budget on vulnerable Chicago communities. The Chicago City Council’s Finance Committee voted 22-13 to advance it. thetriibe.com/2025/12/prog...

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team This is Chicago's only Black owned media outlet and a crucial part of ICE/CBP reporting during an actual emergency. Unacceptable/please free @thetriibe.com

So... @support.bsky.team still hasn't given any tangible help on how we can get access to our @thetriibe.com account again. It's going on a week now. Will be posting our stories from here in the meantime.

Chicago and Illinois leaders confirm Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is back today. Gov. JB Pritzker tells reporters: “We don't know how long they'll stay.” thetriibe.com/2025/12/bord...

plsssss respond to this now @support.bsky.team i’ve emailed and everything.

Will Chicago City Council make some progress on the 2026 budget today? Here’s where we left off yesterday: thetriibe.com/2025/12/alte...

*people made a big deal about an Atlanta-based Black political group being interested in Chicago politics* oh… but look. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

Honestly, the Triibe has maybe the best coverage of all the Chicago City budget shenanigans.
