I have an observation that cities which experience some sort of winter, are known for/ make distinctive pizza. New York, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, New Haven…..

Brought to my attention bc he’s commenting on Chicago. Wasn’t this one of those Trump whisperer dudes from Trump 1?

Only been there for work very briefly, years ago, but is it true Nashville sucks?

"One side is led by fascists. It’s like saying the Civil War, the problem with the Civil War was polarization ...It’s nonsensical. It’s just fascism enabling." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Glad it’s being said but also shouldn’t of taken this long for it to be said

It’s not everything but this matters

Yeah I don’t care enough to really understand the ins and outs of this story but especially bc RFK is a quack eugenicist whose is and will cause mountains of unnecessary suffering

"Our rage means that, for as hard as President Donald Trump and his administration are trying, they have failed in intimidating us or convincing us that what’s happening is normal. And there is Holy Spirit power in that." —@lajoyce.bsky.social on clergy protests at Broadview.

Judge Jeffrey Cummings tonight has denied a bid for a stay pending appeal of an order that aimed to release as many as 615 people arrested by ICE. He notes that 442 people actually stand to benefit. 57 have been deemed a safety risk, 75 have been deported and 33 have otherwise been released.

Good piece. Wish it had more about current iterations of wealth inequality and our information environment, but hey, it's a blog blog.apaonline.org/2025/11/12/t...

Five years ago wrote a piece where I talked about trump 2.0 and when asked who I thought it could be and I said Tucker Carlson. Over the last few years I thought I would be wrong, but looks like there’s a sense it might be right overcast.fm/+AAoiPVYGRFQ

Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there: www.404media.co/two-weeks-of...

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

It’s always interesting to me which ecclesial, theological, and ethical conversations seem impervious to new data or resources

The police are defunding our city

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

Tom not beating the accusation that he doesn’t read books

Violence makers telling pastors and priests to get a job is just…..

“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.."

Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

Asking this again. Is anyone really speaking out against this?

Broadview mayor using the “outside agitator” trope to justify the concentration camp that holds our neighbors, family, and friends

From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning: "God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."

Religious leaders putting themselves on the line to protect immigrants is the first thing that's gotten me interested in religion in 15 years

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

New: Diana Santillana Galeano, whom federal immigration agents dragged out of a Rayito del Sol daycare on Chicago's north side last week, has been released from federal custody, the law firm HSPRD announced Thursday. The release states she will meet with Rayito del Sol parents on Friday.

Another Reuters exclusive The Biden administration acquired evidence in the last months of its term that senior officials in the Israeli government were openly discussing the ongoing use of Palestinians as human shields by the IDF in Gaza. They sat on the evidence.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

This is the FIFTH ICE flight out of Chicago in less than week, per tracking by @jjindc.bsky.social.. (2 GlobalX, 3 Avelo) Never seen that many stops to one city in a week. My guess, they’ve extracted all the overcrowding-induced “voluntary” deports they’re gonna get, so now they’re moving out.

The fact they got this much time to try to do this is unconscionable

This is objectively untrue
