I give thanks to those who protect the most vulnerable of our communities, and wish all those who empowered this regime to choke tonight.

It is Brazilian Thanksgiving today. May an American Thanksgiving come soon.

I remember when the White Sox couldn't develop Semien's glove and Ron Washington quickly fixed that after the trade to Oakland. Now Stearns trades for him because of his defense.

The horror...the horror...

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye

Derek Hill? Huh.

Well, that's an image. chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

No more goddamned FOX? I've been waiting decades for this news!

I should not even try to understand this Bulls season.

“In my view they are no different to SS Nazi troops, intimidating citizens and the people they deem to be immigrants,” the 71-year-old artist said in a statement shared with Block Club. “Cloud Gate in Chicago is a place to which citizens and visitors for 20 years now have come together.."

the endless warm drizzle of spring—the ice of Antarctica, falling softly on the heads of the children of those responsible for melting it.

Who knew that when Michael Moore created the PAC "Pedophiles for Free Trade" (see link) that the only objection Republicans would have to it in 2025 concerned free trade? aadl.org/node/250643

Again, I am begging the White Sox to bring Stephen Nelson home.

I grew up watching some of the folks who signed this editorial and they were the first to teach me what it was to be a journalist. Glad to see them standing up once again.

We have a journalistic consensus about the goddamned fascist traitors' invasion of Chicago.

If you grew up in this area, this list of names will quite clearly resonate with you. If you didn't, picture every important news person from your hometown coming together to speak up.

I was just talking at dinner last night about how much I weirdly share with the Pope (despite my being Jewish). Then I see this. If I ever get an audience at the Vatican, I will ask him "did you get me my cheez wiz, boy?"

Shit What? Rollers No Yeah Shit

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

Almost completely, every single problem with higher education that folks think is mainly about something else is <primarily> about the massive decline in state public funding since the 1980s. Yes, including everyone's obsession with getting their kid into the "right" college:

Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens will never be forgotten by the #NBA community. Wilkens, who died at 88, was a pioneer and inspiration as a Black coach and player who was once was the all-time leader in coach wins. bit.ly/3LyyPNe

When I say Republicans are goddamned fascist traitors, I mean each and every one of those three words.

I wish there was an audio recording of this meeting. www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

Say what you will about this government, it is consistent about wanting to kill kids.

I will say a nice thing about Jerry Reinsdorf. Jerry Reinsdorf is a more competent baseball owner than the Monfort family is.

The biography of Phil Burton is worth reading amid the news of his protegee's retirement. One of the most consequential San Francisco politicians. archive.org/details/rage...

Really enjoyed listening to what @cmgreer.bsky.social had to say about this election and what may happen next on this episode. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/05/e...

Eric Adams received four votes in my precinct. Four. This was one of his strongholds four years ago.

Fun detail from the NYC mayor's race. As of now, Curtis Sliwa has received more votes on the "Protect Animals" line (9790) than incumbent Eric Adams received (6382).

The margins Santosuosso and Wong ran up in those neighborhoods show how toxic the Republican brand is in New York City.

Marshall Ganz was at the Brooklyn Paramount celebrating the win with a bunch of people young enough to be his grandchildren. He has stories to tell.

After twelve years of "leadership" as borough president or mayor, I can finally say a nice thing about Eric Adams. His successors (Antonio Reynoso, Zohran Mamdani) are bright, young, inspiring figures who bring local experts into their circle. So, thanks, Eric?

Brad Lander remains my favorite elected official in New York State. I hope to help him continue that status in the near future.

Every member of this coms team should have an office at 430 South Capitol St. SE by the end of next week. And Elle Bisgaard-Church should be on the top floor in a corner office by the time I finish typing this sentence.

May Derek Shoman's tenure with the White Sox be long and successful, given his family's other reason to be settled in Chicago. www.mlb.com/news/marlins...

News!

Imagine how much better this nation and the world would be had Dick Cheney's first heart attack in 1982 ended his political career.

I thought there would be more of these. Regardless, I hope this kind of progressive historical rhetoric becomes more common in Democratic campaigns over the next three years.

Brooklyn showed up in the early voting period. November 2, 2025 - Day 9 Manhattan - 212,679 Bronx - 58,661 Brooklyn - 243,737 Queens - 166,519 Staten Island - 53,721 *As of Close of Polls – Unofficial and Cumulative 735,317 www.vote.nyc/page/early-v...

Republicans are actively trying to kill Americans. It's as if the government has been taken over by a hostile foreign power.

I don't know what more you could possibly want from a World Series. Congratulations to the champions, the Japanese Olympic Team.

The South Side Food Drive has now raised over $13,000 for the Greater Chicago Food Depository! Thanks to @allsportsscene.bsky.social for setting this up. If you have the means, any help would be greatly appreciated. Donate here: myfooddrives.org/team/782427

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a dude.

Am hearing wait times of more than 50 minutes for the early voting station in Crown Heights.

Paul had an amazing run and impossible shoes to fill.

A pleasure to help this effort out.

Border Patrol's Greg Bovino likes to say his agents are welcomed by 99 percent of people in Chicago but as they drive around the city, they're met with constant shouts of "get the fuck out of here!"

Republican hatred for Americans has no depths.
