Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

this is the only cool thing anyone did with the rat hole

2. A misguided soul wondering if THIS shooting will be the one to bring about sensible gun control.

This is because the feds won't stop gassing our neighborhoods so they can flee and, by extension, are also repeatedly gassing the cops. What a moment to be alive

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

On Oct. 1, a gas explosion caused a public housing project in the Bronx to partially collapse. On Friday, HUD fired all the federal government's housing inspectors: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

it’s illegal, but, also, this didn’t happen, and if someone *did* tell him this, they were lying

You pay taxes so he can illegally weaponize that money against you and your community

You're laughing at the gravy. I'm laughing at the chyron on a 29 year old cable newsfotainment channel criticizing "legacy media"

I wanted to post D'Angelo's performance of "Sometimes it Snows in April" but the streaming rights are held exclusively with NBC/Peacock so the only links I can find are on facebook. It's out there, and it's worth your time if you're looking for a balm.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement. At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Infinite Jest would have worked better as a slim collection of short stories.

Again, every time this happens, we literally have no idea if the masked, plainclothes people are actual government agents, or private citizens acting in party-affiliated paramilitaries. The whole point of IDs & uniforms & no masks is that we know these things.

Making tap-to-ride fares (PAYGO = paying with contactless bank cards) more expensive than cash is… not the way to speed buses up

CTA fare hikes going the wrong way, penalizing multi-ride ticket holders more than single-trip fares: 🚍 Bus fare: $2.50 (+$0.25, +11%) 🚇 ‘L’ fare: $2.75 (+$0.25, +10%) 📅 1-Day Pass: $6.00 (+$1.00, +20%) 📆 7-Day Pass: $25.00 (+$5.00, +20%) 🗓️ Regional Connect: $45.00 (+$15.00, +50% (!!))

zack polanski is so good and i genuinely think if the left rallies around this guy and the green party in the UK, they can easily beat back the hysteria of the reform party

The next D president is going to need to have the courage to reduce their own power while in office

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Here’s last night’s story about Bari Weiss, CBS News, Paramount Skydance, and why the Upper West Side is a lot more than just “Seinfeld territory.” youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ

The list of things Mike Johnson doesn’t know or hasn’t heard or hasn’t seen or hasn’t been paying attention to grows anytime a reporter manages to ask him an inconvenient question.

I mean, I just assume anyone who ISN’T worried about this is either very naïve or deeply in denial.

I love that people are talking about Dick Tracy on main/ My observations: -I waited 30 long years after seeing that movie to finally get a watch that works as a walkie talkie -Seeing Dick Tracy before the Godfather saga made the latter so much richer and meaningful to me [see also The Freshman]

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“We all have to figure out how to live together” is only extended to eliminationists and never to the ones they are trying to eliminate

Speaking Power to Truth

police are gangs that we all collectively pretend answer to elected officials because the truth is scary i'm not even properly an anarchist but i thought we all knew this

This is just so very, very illegal. And Republicans in Congress aren’t the least bit interested in controlling the purse. They’re just employees of trump org at taxpayer expense. This is a dictatorship.

I think the average person does not realize how ableist our entire country is, and relatedy how bad most media outlets are at covering disability issues.

I am convinced we can do better, and that when we get momentum going we're going to see a lot of stuff we assumed would never improve getting fixed much quicker than we'd ever expect.

So honored I got to know the legendary artist, actor and raconteur Tony Fitzpatrick a little bit over the years. May his memory be a blessing to his family and many, many friends blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/11/t...

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

This isn’t funny. Judges only speak to the press when they’re in extreme distress

A whole bunch of people are mad at Pritzker for sending the ISP to Broadview to keep protesters and ICE separated because tying ICE up there slows up their kidnapping operation elsewhere, but sending ISP while ICE brutalizes communities and lies about it is how IL landed the national guard TRO.

“We assume that car use is an incompressible liquid that must be routed somewhere. But it’s more more like a gas that fills whatever space it is given.” —Ian Lockwood, Harvard Loeb Fellow, transport planner.

They are building a Propaganda State. They are cooking the books on job creation. Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

Este estudio estara iniciando con talento Mexicano y Latinoamericano para vincular animadores de varios paises y ifrecera estudios a un animador Mexicano por cda ciclo escolar durante una decada entera.

i think this fundamentally misstates the constraint: if he uses the police to directly obstruct ICE operations, he gets hit with the Insurrection Act. if he puts the cops in a position where they have to choose which orders to follow, they will currently not pick the governor.
