I bought this wonderful pamphlet Why Self-Publish Under Fascism? from @marc-fischer.bsky.social of Half Letter Press and it came with some fantastic extras. Support democracy and order one! #Booksky #Resist #SelfPublish #DIY #Chicago

Need to get ready to leave for my appt 2 hrs early bc CTA vs. I don't want to

New this morning: a Cook County judge with a history of alleged inappropriate physical conduct with colleagues has been reassigned after a clerk accused her of battery www.injusticewatch.org/judges/judic...

This finally got a press writeup, and BCC found out that "Wintrust has no plans to ban AI in future murals." I don't 100% fault a random small nonprofit for using GenAI imagery - a lot of orgs truly don't know the negatives and the reputational risks. But I have anger for Wintrust's policy stance.

And when I return from Armenia I will be doing this workshop in Chicago! chipublib.bibliocommons.com/events/68c84...

Detainees at ICE facility near Chicago allege they were subjected to slaps and slurs from feds chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

We’re excited to continue collaborating with WBEZ on coverage of the vast inequities between Chicago landlords and tenants. For this story, senior reporter Maya Dukmasova consulted with WBEZ reporters on eviction and housing court, and collaborated on data requests.

Expect isolated to scattered thunderstorms to continue into through this evening. The main threat with these storms will be cloud to ground lightning and heavy downpours, although some gusty winds will be possible as well. Head indoors if a storm is headed your way! #ilwx #inwx

Periodic showers with occasional chances for thunderstorms will continue through mid-week. However, plenty of dry time is still expected in between the various rounds of showers and storms. #ILwx #INwx

I’m getting graduate degree in Dipping Sauce Sciences

Oops! All Separate Units Of Government

Another arrest at Broadview today:

Ironed and framed! I think I have to adjust it a little because it looks sliiiiightly askew on the backing, but otherwise I'm very happy with how this turned out. On to the next floor tile piece

“After Monday” continues today at one Black-owned cafe in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood. “For me, thinking about somebody who has gone to festivals before, I enjoy when neighboring restaurants, cafe spots, are doing things in the same vein of that.” thetriibe.com/2025/09/mond...

UPDATE: Huffpo is reporting the Trump administration "plans to evacuate" the Broadview facility in the wake of recent protests. If you have info about where ICE's processing operations will be happening in the Chicagoland area after this move, I am KMHChi.01 on Signal.

If they were all documented, it's hard to imagine how this isn't another example of ICE using workplace as a proxy for determining who to bully and harass. I'm just glad Brett Kavanaugh thinks this is all above board.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

mona no!

still many unknowns tho. what will happen to the people detained in Broadview? where are they moving their operations to, if true?

Nobody cares about that. You just make us tired. Go away.

If the Grinch was red... well I don't really like to think about that

LRTs IL Congressional reps fucking clown-shoes dipshits

I realize I was too conservative with the emoji on "yes" votes, only marking the people who could have most easily voted "no" w/o real political blowback. All of them are cowards. All of them have constituents Charlie Kirk defamed and each one lied to the public about it when they entered their vote

YES Charlie Kirk's speech was respectful of other people: Durbin 💩 Duckworth 💩 Budzinski (+12) Foster (+11) Schneider (+23)💩 Sorensen (+5) NO Davis (+66) Jackson (+33) Kelly (+34) Krishnamoorthi (+7) Quigley (+37) Ramirez (31) Underwood (+5) 🏆 NO VOTE Casten (+6) Garcia (+28) Schakowsky (+37)

7 members of the IL Democratic delegation voted YES to the resolution claiming that Charlie Kirk spoke with "honor, courage, and respect for his fellow Americans" 6 voted NO 3 did NOT vote Reposting names in comment below, with district D-advantage points

we rate the statement “None of these words are in the Bible” to be FALSE. the word “steezy” appears in the Bible over thirty times.

NLG Chicago just released a statement condemning federal agents for unleashing "severe violence on people protesting at the Broadview detention facility." Legal observers saw an agent "unholstering his gun" and "a van driven by agents almost running over a protester," NLG says.

Scattered showers and a few storms are possible this evening. Thunderstorm coverage may increase a just bit this evening, particularly across north central Illinois. While many areas won't a see thunderstorm, keep an eye out for heavy rain and lightning this evening! #ILwx #INwx

I talked with Lit Hub's @drewsof.bsky.social about our extremely stupid moment in history

“This is a discriminatory bill [that] targets some of our most vulnerable students; because it targets them, it also targets our teachers,” said a rep at Texas's American Federation of Teachers. “It's impossible to impart knowledge if a kid does not feel welcome and safe in classroom” @teenvogue.com

There is a chance for a few showers or storms late this afternoon, with additional periods of storms through the weekend. While chances for showers and storms permeate through early next week, it won't be a washout as there will be breaks in the rain. #ILwx #INwx

cold, salt. and — get this — a meal. at the same time

i was in the mood for salt and a meal. but i need cold, as well. at the same time

I drew a lunch-bag doodle for my 10yo but my 4yo drew one for me & it totally made my day.

We're really just doing JNCOs again, huh

anyway if you saw my last post and were like “ok but HOW do I do that,” circuit breakers is a great way to meet a bunch of Folks Doing the Damn Thing
