Not to alarm anyone, but Hawai'i football is on right now. They're up over Air Force early.

UNC caps a 95-yard TD drive with this catch and run 👀

4PM Today (Friday, Sept 26): Protest at the Neil Smith Federal Building in downtown Des Moines in support of Dr Ian Roberts. Dr Roberts was detained by ICE in Des Moines and, apparently, driven to an ICE facility in Council Bluffs.

Coulda done without the drama but yay!

GEORGIA TECH WINS

Just got sent another Demo consultant's memo on how to win the shutdown. Spoiler alert: they want Democrats to focus on "costs" and "healthcare" and talk about how they're for smart budgets. Absolutely nothing about Trump being out of control. The consultant class should be shot out of a cannon.

I personally think that children should get good reading education without having to carry their rapists baby to term against their will. Mississippi is pro child victims of rape being pregnant against their will.

I appreciate seeing our governor tell the truth, but I would like her to show more fire. It’s an absolute outrage, what’s happening here.

I'm honestly shocked Seinfeld turned Riyadh down.

begging democrats to fight right now like portland is as important as jimmy kimmel

The problem isn’t that the democrats don’t understand this, it’s that they won’t give a nickel to anybody to the left of the pod save guys

Gaza survey study of international healthcare workers in pier-reviewed British Medical Journal (BMJ): "The pattern of injuries in Gaza reflects an extreme form of high energy trauma rarely observed in civilian populations." www.bmj.com/content/390/...

It would force CTA to hire people with backgrounds without the Second Chance program for starters!

BDS is the only way to justice in Palestine.

Why would the busses be worse? I am pretty sure a French company making busses in Chicago can figure out how to make the busses good.

I wrote about the Red Scare of the 1950's as a moment when establishment Jewish organizations threw the historically large Jewish left under the bus in the name of respectability politics, and how they're making the same calculation today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Do not invade Finland as a general rule

Stalin had almost all of the Old Bolsheviks murdered, then murdered their murderer. Zhukov thought that the blood of the Soviet patriots who died defending the USSR against fascism was on Stalin's hands. Khrushchev denounced him to the Presidium. Mikoyan thought he was a drunk coward.

I once again have to hand it to Will.

What if we built a bunch of busses in the US, and also hired a lot more people to drive the busses and had more frequent bus service.

Oh no someone rolled an ankle

Big 👏 chungus 👏 great 👏 lakes 👏 GND 👏 industrial 👏 zone 👏

Chicago built a ton during the Daley I period, which was notable for having quite a few literal fictional jobs

A week ago the same mayor was criticizing protesters. ICE’s decision to change where their vehicles enter and leave just appears to have just turned more people against them, while offering them no better access to their facility.

“Beleaguered Broadview residents are begging for relief from your center’s siege of our neighborhood,” she wrote in the letter. “They are texting me. They are calling me. They are streaming into Village Hall looking for help.”

Big 👏 Chungus 👏 bus 👏 factory 👏

Ty for rocking with the vision

"fictional jobs"

We could also increase service and double staffing if again, we quit shelling millions to rent a cops and taxed the rich.

In fact saying that is extremely racist.

We should have a big chungus bus factory and also frequent and reliable bus service, hope that helps.

If my nabe gets a big Chungus Bus factory, there will be people hired to build the bus factory, people hired to make busses in the bus factory, people to keep it clean, people who make the schedules and answer the mail, and promote the factory 1/2

The headways are bad and I've had to deal with unwell riders screaming antisemitic abuse at me with no way to address that!

This was supposed to be their Reichstag Fire and they couldn't even get the second worst late night host fired. apnews.com/article/jimm...

This is a really puzzling response to safety concerns and inadequate response!

We could have 2PTO if we didn't fork millions to rent a cops and taxed the rich! Right now, if there's an issue on a train, the options are "call button and hope that doesn't piss off the person harassing you" or "have a Nazi cop deal with it"

It is not in any way "worse" when cops assault journalists instead of protesters. It's all the same violence; it's all wrong and horrific. What's notable is the intentionality behind what happened today, esp when paired with DHS accusing anyone recording their activities of intimidating *them.*

Yes because it's a good policy to make rides safer and reduce delays.

What part of "I agree with first 100, then manufacture in the US" is not clicking here.

Dems can publish the home and church addresses of the justices literally whenever and choose not to.

Why aren't Dems going to war on the court. Why isn't Schumer publishing Roberts's home address and calling him a genocider.

Which CDSA is bringing up a lot! We're literally flyering stations so riders know that @govpritzker.illinois.gov is destroying their commutes and destroying transit worker jobs.

I uh, live in a deindustrialized Chicago neighborhood. 300 more jobs bs would reduce the local unemployment rate dramatically. And 300 more jobs equals a lot more people putting money in CTA fare boxes.

Socialism is when bus

I am a single issue voter and the issue is "big chungus bus factory in Lawndale/Little Village/East Side, and universal two person train/bus operation".

Because two person crews is good!

It matters to the people who live in the neighborhoods decimated by Sears and US steel leaving (there has never been equivalent local investment in either impacted neighborhood and eds and meds isn't a solution).
