Some joy

Damn.

Show trials are the compromise position.

the bears (laudatory)

Over on X, the weird life extension guy just did a heroic dose of magic mushrooms (5g), and someone is live tweeting it for him. Clearly someone misguided him along the way, though, because he seems to be under the impression he’s peaked after just one hour. Bad news for you, buddy…

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Bovino went into popular Carniceria Aguascalientes in heart of Little Village. “They said they were just here to buy something,” said Elizabeth Gutierrez. “I told them we wouldn’t serve them and escorted them out. Bovino seemed upset, but I don’t care.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/08/c...

fellow sickos, this is our time

12 hours until this story falls apart? 24 hours?

Jesus

Here's what happened in Little Village this morning according to Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez on his Instagram: ICE/CBP were out detaining people and causing chaos in the neighborhood, with Bovino arresting people directly. No one was shot but live rounds were fired.

Federal immigration agents have deployed gas in Little Village, on 26th between Komensky and Pulaski, per videos shared online after 11 am this morning.

Pilsen PUÑO has issued a community wide alert urging vulnerable residents in Pilsen and Little Village to shelter in place due to heavy ICE activity.

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview. “They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

hey guys isn't it weird how they're all saying this at the same time? ignore the fact that this is now happening with Tyler Cowen, an economist who sits at the center of a sprawling system of think tanks and policy "influencers" who have been laundered into DC with both Koch and SV VC money

This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area. “We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”

I love this for them and hope they hear it every time they close their eyes.

Rewriting “life is a highway” as a cautionary tale that ends up here, at this image.

That’s right, Bill Kristol.

26 years ago today, we got The Simpsons greatest “deeply buried dirty semi-joke” (and many of us didn’t get it until years later). “E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)” premiered November 7, 1999.

Real occupying force vibe with this set. Soldiers cross the street, on the lookout for hostiles. The commander and his men interrogate locals. The commander meets with a local police official.

This is not Miss World Chile. This is Ignacia Fernández, representative of Las Condes, a commune of Santiago, competing in Miss Mundo Chile (this is not the Miss World pageant, which has not happened yet, and indeed Miss Mundo Chile's finals are not until Sunday)

About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a Southwest Side gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle, reports @chicagotribune.com

Oh my…

i would honestly rather read a review of the springsteen movie by a superfan. i would rather read a defense of stomp clap music.

Slim Jims. Randy Savage wept.

Looks like American air travel is already fucked and getting more so, in the wake of Duffy’s 10% reduction announcement. Hold onto your butts. nasstatus.faa.gov

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!

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.

Jury nullification is an inalienable right, IYKWIMAITYD.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

i’m at damen/belle plaine in chicago’s north center neighborhood for an emergency anti-ice rally. around 7 a.m. this morning, masked federal agents chased a preschool teacher *into* nearby rayito del sol and abducted her—in front of traumatized children, parents, and coworkers.

*clot thickens*

Lmfao

yeah, this is unsustainable

Looking forward to voting with my new district-mates in Cairo.

Worth remembering that the Old 97s clocked this guy nearly three decades ago and recorded a song that predicted he'd end up exactly here.

👀

Yes on 50 is up like 57/43 in counties Trump won lmao

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

As many eyes will be on court downtown today, there are early indications ICE may be active in this area again. Agents reportedly snatched a daycare worker in Roscoe Village this morning.

Holy shit

One cat gets really affectionate when I have a martini, and the other gets affectionate when I smell like weed, and as a dog guy, I have to acknowledge their coolness.

Minneapolis-heads, what’s happening in the mayoral race?

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.
