What I feel is that I've watched her for years and don't know the others. She's steady. Hasn't blown with the wind. I don't know if she has a chance but I decided to vote for the person I knew would do a good job. I'm sorry she won't be my congresswoman. I'd be glad if she's my senator. /end
I hate being publicly political, but I just want to say that I've been in Robin Kelly's district all this time, reading her newsletter for years faithfully. I've written petitions & email. She's responsive. She gets stuff done. She's helped the whole weird district--farms and south side. 1/n

A FIVE INCH HAILSTONE has been found near Buckingham, Illinois by senior meteorologist @matthewcappucci.bsky.social as he frolics through farmland.
This may be the state record if confirmed!
I'm no fan of realpolitik - it's killed millions of people - but if the goal of U.S. war is to project global power, we have showed weakness. The nations that already hated us hate us more. The nations that used to respect us no longer trust us. America has squandered all of its moral capital
Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.
“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.
The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.
Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.
Apparently Rainbow Beach just got these white gates and QR codes also.
Here is a screen grab from the Boyton Water Chute cut. 62nd & Drexel, built in 1894 and relocated around 1900. It's recognized as the first true 'amusement park' in the US.
holy shit
Exactly! I can't stop thinking of the old Roach Motel ad. Roaches check in but they can't check out.
White posts and gates off Science Drive
Sign saying Just Drive In. In small print it points out you can’t drive out without paying
Sign in red saying they enforce the rules 24/7
Chicago Park District has decided to cash in on cherry blossom and OPC traffic with parking lockdown in the east lot and Music Court lot. It might also be a step toward security enforcement though I always heard it was the Hayes lot that got dicey
Four golden shapes of fish in the cloudy water
If you check out the Japanese Garden #Chicago peek down from the moon bridge. The koi have decided it’s spring. They are sluggish still
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
faded red white and blue poster of Uncle Sam carrying a hoe and a rifle, in front of him is a marching clock with a gun and a hoe. The words say "Saving Daylight! Set the clock ahead one hour and win the war! Mobilize an extra hour of daylight and help win the war. United Cigar Stores Company"

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.
Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.
Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.
No human should experience war. Period.
I’ve had to tell so many parents that their sons & daughters were dead, had been murdered. Their screams, their silences, their faces, their collapses, cling to me like cobwebs I can’t ever shake.
Our leaders, so callous with death as games or memes or brags, know nothing of grief, only of greed.
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
Help save the fabulous Chicago Stock Exchange Trading Room that the Art Institute of Chicago wants to demolish for a new building. Dedicated architects and philanthropists spent years and more than a million dollars to reconstruct it at the Art Institute. Sign the petition c.org/L5GJtwLRTM
The Chicago Stock Exchange itself should never have been demolished. This exquisite room is one of the few vestiges of it that remain, & it is absolutely outrageous that it should be endangered again.
Architects: Adler & Sullivan, 1894
Demolished: 1972
Reconstruction Architects: Vinci & Kenny, 1977
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
I will be so sad if my favorite room in the ENTIRE art institute goes away :(
