A tour de force - a rich critique, somehow both plainspoken and eloquent. Thanks, Patrick Redford. The State Of Sportswashing - defector.com/the-state-of...

we don't usually see each others' headers, but here's mine. quote post with yours (if you feel like it)

Apparently, the neighborhood spot where I usually fill up is now opting for the "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" approach.

Spoke too soon, perhaps

ICE in Albany Park again this morning, these motherfuckers

Chicago Far North-siders: Expect traffic snarls this Thursday and Friday, including on DuSable Lake Shore Drive, due to the wake and honors funeral for CPD officer John Bartholomew. Take the CTA or ride your bike if possible (not just tomorrow and Friday, but always!).

post a picture of yourself from the past that puts you in a light people on here wouldn't expect

Anyone mistakenly inferring from my profile pic that I'm one of those Roman Statue Guys, pls note: it's the statue of Young Lincoln in Chicago's Senn Park (near our home), locally known as "Sexy Lincoln" (see attached t-shirt image I created for my wife), and I intend its use as gently self-mocking.

The only winning move is not to play. edroso.substack.com/p/sotu-what-...

I'm one of a select few who would attempt a serious piece under a picture of Hacksaw. This is why I'm going nowhere. Anyway, it's a pretty scrambled thinker on where I am with all of the Team USA stuff, and the Team USA stuff to come this summer. sam-fels-but-whos-buying.ghost.io/who-gets-to-...

Look at my lawyer dawg I'm going to jail

HAPPY PACZKI DAY

My wife and I celebrated our traditional Chicago Valentine's Day, by gunning down seven Irishmen in a dirty North Side garage.

!!!

legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

Here’s one #Apple should load for free. #FreeMinneapolis

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Words to live by ...

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

The Hawks can mothball these black jerseys anytime, thanks.

Seen on a corner in Edgewater (Chicago).

Sign for today's action outside the Peterson Target in Chicago

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Its officially that time.

Kristi Noem is flat-out lying when she claims no U.S. citizen has been arrested in her violent crackdown. Do a web search on “immigration citizen arrested” and you’ll see. Here’s one of the many documented reports we found.

This is nowhere close to being true. Two @ij.org clients are citizens who were arrested & @propublica.org found 168 more. Plus, we have witness statements from others who--like most of the citizens caught up by Noem's tactics--didn't have their arrests recorded so they didn't make the news.

It's like our signs from "No Kings" -- "unpaid protestor," "I hate him for free." Anybody who'd join ICE doesn't need the $50K come-on. They'll put a knee on a man's neck from sheer love of the game.

ICE / Border Patrol threatening to arrest a cyclist for following and recording in Chicago

@govpritzker.illinois.gov, @jbpritzker.bsky.social How about it, Governor? Constituents like me are waiting for your response. If you are genuinely committed to free peaceful protest, you have to put the ISP on the sidelines at Broadview -- not standing shoulder to shoulder w/ ICE & CBP.

Seriously. Fuck these fascists. Join a No Kings protest on October 18 and stand up for our rights and our democracy.

I'm a transgender keynote speaker. Please hire me for your event! I give versions of this talk of any length, up to an hour or more. [email protected] Bluesky: @vandybethglenn.bsky.social Instagram: @vandybethglenn LinkedIn: vaglenn youtu.be/tr9DaH4eTyc?...

Yeah this is very, very worth your time today!

Count us out on Tubby's big push.

Fortune favors the bold.

EPSTEIN FILES

As my sainted mama used to say, "All I'm looking for is a blessing that's not in disguise."

This is the first salvo in Noem's eventual, inevitable campaign to follow Trump into the White House: her very own version of "The Apprentice," to make her a household name and try to wash off the bloodstains from her brutal war on immigrants.

Steve Bright is a giant, not only because of his own tireless struggle against the powerful on behalf of the powerless, but because of the legions of young lawyers he has taught and inspired. Prof. Tsai is exactly the person to bring his story to life.

just incredible AI slop from the local police union lmao

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

🎯

This decision is imho unquestionably correct under our constitution and only remarkable insofar as it takes courage to render a correct decision in the atmosphere of pervasive intimidation emanating from the White House.

Former Irish PM

This is the door hanger that Musk's PAC is distributing across Wisconsin. They're targeting Republican households. They must hope it isn't seen by Dems, or anyone who thinks judges shouldn't "keep Trump's agenda moving forward" when Trump breaks the law. Repost if you agree.
