Come to my upcoming events! Or drop by either of these spots to pick up whistles to distribute

I know I’m not the only one who loves the word “sanitary” in this canal’s name and wants to keep it. Please join me in voting!

my kids: dad, where do posts come from? me: sometimes two intrusive thoughts love each other very much and... bsky.app/profile/left...

I can promise my posting is never performative. It is heedless, compulsive, and barely controlled

do you wanna come over so our reply guys can have a playdate?

If you'd like to know what counts as a violation of U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order against federal immigration agents' violent behavior in Chicagoland (you can report alleged violations at tinyurl.com/chicagotro), the full written version of the order can be found here:

Great whistle distro tip

Some screenshots from itp_chicago IG. You can see how federal agents stake their presence around some of these communities in intersections in the middle of traffic and sidewalks in front of businesses. This feels very particular to the SW Side with Little Village being a prime target for this.

This—agents driving around in circles and provoking the community—has gone on for hours at this point with no discernible goal other than to inflict terror. They also just fired pepper balls at someone.

According to a person familiar with jury lunches

Please do me a favor and let folks know I have whistle kit supplies to give out. I want to make sure I’m not sitting on anything for longer than I absolutely need to be. This is a good landing page for who I am and what I’m doing: linktr.ee/apwhistles

If you want to distribute free speech devices to your neighbors, I can help you set up a whistle kit event where I provide all materials except the space and people

We have an entire garbage bag full of them at @beermiscuous.bsky.social!

If anyone up north needs whistles, I have thousands and can help too!

Come get your whistles! They’re protected speech!

Ellis "The public ... has an interest in its citizens' bodily integrity, the right to peaceful protest, the right to assemble, the right of peaceful free exercise of religion."

Ellis: "It is difficult to see how an injunction ordering the government to comply with the Constitution can be harmful."

Ellis: The use of force during the Trump administration's Operation Midway Blitz "shocks the conscience."

Ellis rules that the Trump administration impermissibly prevented the free exercise of religion, in violation of the First Amendment. Those engaged in prayer have been shot, without warning, with pepper balls and tear gas, Ellis says.

I love that the ruling is “Chicago fucking rules, fuck the liars and the haters”

"Several teachers fled with a student and hid in a back of a pickup truck, “terrified of being found,” Meadow said." “They weren’t sure what was going on. ICE, an attack on the school — they didn’t know,” Meadow said."

Ellis says the First Amendment right to speech and assembly are the "most perishable."

Ellis says the Trump administration impermissibly prevented members of the media (including @peoplesfabric.com & @blockclubchi.bsky.social) from reporting on Operation Midway Blitz.

new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10. in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time. via @dmbrown-tboy.bsky.social:

Just observed ICE agents transferring detainees between vehicles at Warren Park — city property. This is prohibited.

She just addressed Bovino's use of tear gas in Little Village on Oct. 23, without apparent warning. "I will say this happened after I entered the [temporary restraining order]" requiring at least two warnings before gas be deployed, Ellis says.

Ellis attacks the characterization of rapid responders as "agitators": "Describing rapid response networks - neighborhood moms - as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are," Ellis says.

Rest now sister. We have the kente. I'll see you in Wakanda.

Right about now, the honk shoo brother

I just nearly caused a car accident by driving the speed limit through a residential area. I can’t believe there are people who want to get to work that badly

So happy to hear about how other cities are coming together to help neighbors

I’ve got to ramp whistle distribution efforts back up. I got a little tired and took a little down time, but my office is packed full of supplies and I’ve got a spreadsheet with thousands more donations I need to follow up on soliciting

I just counted and my whistle count is up to 1700. I think I'm sending 3k up this time! ❤️💕❤️

Rapid City deserves better than her anyway but also come the fuck on

I’m watching a Gordon Ramsay show where he does a little therapy by reminding a restaurant owner how much he matters to his community, and man we should all be so lucky as to get a reality TV show intervention for our insecurities and ways we’re holding ourselves back

Anyone want to help me carry 10-20,000 whistles up a flight of stairs?

I’d say Bovino’s trying to make a little joke about exemplary/making an example of, but we all know he’s too dumb for wordplay

Thinking about a sad girl weekend trip to Winnipeg sometime next year

Oops! All Chicago

I wish Fartlow had friends who could check on her. She is not okay

Bahahahaha

that number going up 7 years in the space of 4 years seems bad

The coffee shop gave me the wrong coffee then gave me the right coffee and let me keep both coffees. I do not need this much coffee.

Parents are so scared today. Please engage with your local school networks if you can. They’re going to want extra eyes on pre-K as well as K-12 after this horrific abduction.

i could never work at the TSB and that’s not just because im absolutely not qualified it’s also because i would go insane hearing all the Cheeto In The White House type libs who dont know where the number 2 engine on an MD-11 is speculating if ATC shortage caused a mechanical failure

One of those great nights tonight where you’re standing with your friends, the music is fantastic, the sound is on point, everyone is polite about letting you move through the crowd, the bar lines are always short, and you’re just glad to exist in a society

If an ISP ran a campaign guaranteeing that you’ll get the speeds they advertise and you pay for I’d’switch in a heartbeat.

Sorry I just spent 3 hours at a Pains of Being Pure at Heart show trying not to make any jokes about the pains of being over 40
