Also all Adams-administered city hall weddings should be live-streamed so that we can all continue to enjoy his weird personality but without the harms.

When Zohran wins he should appoint Eric Adams city clerk so that he's responsible for administering all the weddings.

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

Get ready for "one day"

Yeah, an infernal CBP helicopter woke me up early this morning. They’ve been buzzing my neighborhood like harpies all weekend. It reminds me of occupied Ireland back in the day. The racket casts a pall of doom, provokes a mix of sorrow and anger.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

The level of destruction and erasure in the Gaza Strip is simply incredible. North Gaza, before and after:

Ordered pizza and watched Weapons and ok.

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession. They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

Genuinely, thank you for this reality check.

⭕️ BREAKING: CNN reports that Israel will not release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya as part of the ceasefire deal. “The occupation refused to release Dr Hussam Abu Safiya,” a Hamas official told CNN on Friday. 💔💔💔💔

I posted this video of Chéster on Instagram and his previous person replied with “❤️🐈ya está gordo chéster” and now I feel self conscious. 😂😂😂

I never understand folks who complain abt how OTHER ppl protest. If you don’t like protesters to cuss or where frog suits, why don’t YOU go protest wearing a tuxedo and reciting the Magna Carta? No one’s stopping you, least of all the frogman, who will likely leap for joy for your involvement

this is what it takes. we're here now folks, there is not a "if the nazis came" it's "they're here and your mettle will be tested now"

This is my CB and people are rabid about this project.

In Chicago they are shooting priests in the face and zipping little kids and loading up parents in vans separated by race. In Portland they can be held back by inflatable costumes. Chicago is 35% white Portland is 70% white

Higher Ed in 2025 is opening your mailbox to see that your institution has sent you: 1. A Center for Teaching and Learning call to integrate AI into your classroom; and 2. An Office of Academic Integrity email encouraging you to crack down on students who use AI to cheat.

Watched Scream in 16mm tonight because film nerds still exist.

Every day it's just helicopters all day long now and people are somehow still unsure whether to call this an occupation

feds have been all over chicagoland today. reports of people abducted from back of the yards, cicero, rogers park, hermosa, barrington, batavia, and bridgeview. feds are out in force in aurora. not sharing video, but residents have likewise turned out in force—and they aren't happy.

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

A lot of people do not really seem to know this sort of stuff

Extremely extremely relatable context

Oh my god, I have loved Heather Christian's work since I first saw Animal Wisdom at the Bushwick Starr in 2017. I saw it the year after two major losses in my life and I just sobbed. We had tickets to see Oratorio for Living Things at Ars Nova on March 27, 2020, my first pandemic birthday.

"How does it feel to be locked up unlawfully" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My kinda carrying on! Keep it up.

I won't ever get over that when something is wrong with one of my cats and I research it (in peer-reviewed pubs), the actual research is like, well, this is what we do for dogs, so we tried it with cats, and it's like 100% effective in dogs but 85% effective in cats, we don't need to figure out why.

Pritzker is offering the following at the moment: 1. Trust the courts. [not a viable strategy] 2. "Film the cops" 3. Vote in 2026 4. Protest [peacefully] And he knows this is not sufficient. Everyone does. He will not address the local cops angle because he might be deposed...

Chicago

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

Ok, this is just funny. isportlandburning.com

Connect with your people offline. Take the chats to signal but also take your close relationships offline entirely. We need to be connected when they shut this all down. What’s your organizing plan if things go dark? Where do you meet? Who picks up what work? How do we communicate?

Dear god, we keep getting these emails with escalating urgency about making sure we get our laptops inventoried and I went up to the floor and couldn't find the room and just wondered around for several minutes until I gave up. Why put up a sign! Oh, I know, your an IT department

Straight people think about queer people more than we think about ourselves. It’s fascinating. And boring. And creepy. Y’all don’t even go here!!!

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

A fascinating read.

If you still know anyone who imagines that Pritzker or Johnson will order police under their command to arrest federal agents, you can send them this (1hr12min42sec timestamp). They are explicit that they will not and they view courts as only venue for enforcement. www.youtube.com/live/vqP4YFV...

My 85 year old mom is so anxious about ICE activity in Chicagoland that she is (finally) actively looking to sell her house and move to a retirement community and what is happening.

"As paramedics placed tourniquets on Martinez’s leg and arm, a bullet fell out of her arm and onto the shop’s floor, the manager said. She left in an ambulance." chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

this part. the feds are *already* here. they’ve *been* here, tear-gassing neighborhoods, abducting people from their cars and homes with helicopters and bearcats, beating and arresting protesters. so far, the state’s response has been to just let them do it—and to send in the police to help them.

People keep waiting for "the thing," some kind of bright line that makes it all clear. There's already blood in the water. Clarity isn't coming anytime soon.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

For fucks sake, Tammy, the least you could do is go to Chicago.

The funniest thing in the world is someone posting something egregiously fake followed by “let that sink in.”

I grew up one suburb over from Broadview, a place I forgot existed until ICE operations ramped up, and I still had to look it up on a map. That's the greater Broadview area.

They're teargassing people on the streets and shooting them, Chuck.
