Chicago is a soup town. If you don’t like soup, you don’t like Chicago. Fight me

What do people think about the LiveNation/DOJ news?

He does seem bored of peace

ICE murdered a U.S. citizen in cold blood.

Not, like, next month. He murdered a guy on video. We know his face. Arrest him today.

Arrest the murderer and arrest Bovino. Not complicated.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

So Rs right now are assaulting our health care system, raising prices on everything, exploding the deficit, throwing people in gulags, cutting off food assistance to 42m despite a court order and now threatening not to pay federal workers money they are clearly owed. Villains they are.

Dudes love a puffy vest

If you scroll down far enough on these MAGA dudes’ social profiles, there is a live clip from a Pearl Jam concert. These people have zero media literacy. They just think that art exists to amuse them

It’s just stunning how much this administration despises the American people.

Just Weird Al and me at Riot Fest.

The star spangled banner is a beautiful melody with terrible lyrics.
“The bombs bursting in air”? Cool, glad we’ve been singing about bombs blowing up my whole life

This man is a patriot. ICE are cowards

I cannot wait for these goons to all get the justice that is coming to them.

I think protests without consequences are largely ineffective, but hopefully stuff like this will help show that it’s not a bunch of scary left-wing militias, but simply just pissed-off Americans doing the most American and patriotic thing possible - speaking truth to power

I just re-upped my @wbez.org monthly membership and did a one-time donation as well. They aren’t owned by an oligarch, which is nice.

What kind of spider is this?

The craziest thing I have seen in regards to the president threatening to send the US military to Chicago are all of the comments and reply guys saying “do it!“ And “send them in! Chicago needs it!“ Like what the fuck kind of country are we living in where people encourage that? This place blows.

Can’t wait to have more dental visits from brushing my teeth with cane sugar sodas and more doctor visits from all the saturated fats I’m consuming from my diet of beef tallow-cooked French fries. God bless America!

we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history

Great day to see the most mediocre people walking around with American flag shirts and hats
