JFC. The weakening of America continues.

The idiotic things this administration wastes time and resources on never cease to amaze me.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high. This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

This is really important. Both in the fact of IMLS reinstating grants. (Which have been *crucial* for libraries and civic life across the country. Notably in rural areas.) And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.

Cassidy is worse than a fool and he should have his medical license revoked for knowingly doing harm to the health of the American public.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

And so it begins. Please remember (just like in Chicago, LA, and Charlotte) get organized and protect your communities. We’re already hearing that people are traveling to New Orleans to help, just as many did in Charlotte.

It’s on 🔥 The boycott rolled right up to their front door. ‘We Ain’t Buying It”

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???

Aldermanic prerogative is one of the reasons Chicagoans can't have nice things like affordable housing and safe streets.

18th Street is a key access corridor for bicyclists and pedestrians, giving residents and visitors in the South Loop, Near South Side, Pilsen, etc. the only open access to the South Lakefront between Roosevelt Road and 31st Street (did I miss an access point?). chi.streetsblog.org/2025/11/21/a...

Unbelievable. Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

ICE LIES!

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This man is a walking PSA for what NOT to do. Fry turkeys in bare feet? Nope. Eat undercooked pork? Nope. Move random animal carcasses about the country? Nope. Undermine the nation's biomedical research, vaccination, and public health infrastructure? Nope, nope, and nope!

Brilliantly said!

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors have dismissed all charges against two Chicagoans, including a woman shot by federal agents, who were accused of ramming a vehicle driven by Border Patrol agents on Oct. 4, court records show. Background, for @wttw.bsky.social: news.wttw.com/2025/10/05/2...

I'm with them. WTF!

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long. Every name, every meeting, and every document must be released—no excuses, no delays. (1/2)

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman. Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Here is a picture of a baby otter for no good reason.

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

If CBP, Customs and Border Protection, is only supposed to operate within 100 miles of the U.S. border, what are they doing leading operations in Charlotte, North Carolina?

❌🧊 AT&T, end your contract with Dept of Homeland Security; refuse to support their atrocities! Til then, the people UNITED won't buy/upgrade AT&T products. Peaceful rally in Chicago's Greektown, org by @thepeopleslobby.bsky.social. Music, chants, spectacle, powerful words from advocates & leaders!

CPD is why we can't have nice things in Chicago. How many pensions would that $285M have funded? How many teachers' salaries? How much affordable housing? Modest proposal: all settlements are paid from the CPD operating budget. Then the CPD brass might actually police the police.

Let’s fight for a Democratic Party that will actually fight for us: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Thanks for teaching me some new youth slang!
