Let’s Go!!!

Venezuela wins the World Baseball Classic

“We’re going to protect what we built,” Cook County Board president Toni Preckwinkle said to a crowd of supporters Tuesday night. “We’re going to make sure the county remains a place where people feel safe, supported and included.”

Besides the joy of hearing our Chicago anthem, “The Percolator,” I feel this way too.

This is beautiful.

I may be sad that my chosen candidates didn't win, but I'm so happy to see some candidates lose!

ALWAYS!!!! This is when you know that a candidate is ready to represent us.

We are so lucky to have @tonipreckwinkle.bsky.social as Cook County President! Happy Birthday Toni!

There is nothing progressive about electing candidates who have used slurs. Stop promoting them or making excuses for them.

It shouldn't be controversial. Don't vote for candidates who use slurs.

Academy producers finally figured out how to do a proper in memoriam segment. Great job!

Sean Penn doesn’t deserve this award. Delroy Lindo did

I loved Sinners! This is good. #Oscars

I really wish the USA baseball team took its cues from the U.S. women's figure skating Olympic team and not Seal Team Six. But if you're at despair at how they're representing the U.S., remember this.

I like a Canada Shout Out! #Oscars

I never knew how tall Will Arnett is until tonight. #oscars

Train Dreams, Plane Dreams, And Automobile Dreams

Remember when St. Patrick scared the snakes out Chicago, so that mathematicians could enjoy pie. ....... Happy Chicago Observed St. Paddy's Day! ☘️

Why are there so many podcasts on video streaming services?

The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board endorsed Brendan Reilly, so it’s a hard pass on any of their recommendations.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

If this Primary has taught me anything, PACs are bad if they help your opponent. If they help you or someone you like, they’re OK.

I get that mailers are so people will recognize the name of who is running for office but they are really excessive.

Ugh, the two scripted TV show I'm watching had a 'twist' this week that was so predictable it makes me mad that I am even still watching them.

One week until the Illinois Primary! I really hope that some day people running for local office realize that the way to engage voters isn’t by fear tactics.

If you consider yourself progressive, don't trust the Chicago Tribune editorial board's endorsements in a Democratic Primary.

If she was still alive, my Irish grandmother would be disappointed to hear this, but I don’t trust the Irish American men running for office.

Somewhere in Maine there is a moose better equipped to run for office than Platner. Please stop defending this shit stain people.

When I vote, I vote for candidates that give me hope. I am not naive, and I know that no candidate is perfect. However, I do know that it is a choice when a candidate or their supporters choose to lie about their opponent or only tell part of a story. Integrity is key.

Oh, I have thoughts. Starting with a lack of a focus on civic education in many schools and an understanding of how local elections really impact national decisions.

Every couple of months, I am so glad to be reminded about this.

It shouldn’t be hard!

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

There is nothing progressive about a voter guide where the author has told people to not vote.

They are idiots.

Maybe it would have been better if Hellebuyck blocked only 40 shots?

At some point we have to face the sad truth that this array of Administration miscreants are living their HS fantasies. Under what other circumstances would a group of athletes welcome this guy into a locker room celebration?

Hellebuyck really is the best. Completely saved and won the game for the USA.

I hate seeing sad Canadians. But what a game!

Canada vs USA is intense.

When your mom is Canadian, hockey is literally ingrained in your upbringing.

I think if you’re running for office - local, city, state, or federal- I should have seen you in the community prior to 4 weeks before the primary

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

This is why "Let's give in on some of the trans stuff because it'd be a popular compromise and you have to meet people where they are" is not only immoral but politically stupid. Republicans were never going to stop there. They stop when you stop them. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

When bearing false witness on TV, it's helpful to wear ash on your forehead. How else would anyone ever guess you're supposedly a "Christian"?

Imagine saying you're progressive and then endorsing Brendan Reilly. 🤡

According to The New York Times, Donald's building monuments to himself makes him "an inescapable force." No. It simply reminds the world what a pathetic, insecure loser we put in power. And it's humiliating.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.
