Just trying to wind down. A little crochet, watching Casino.

Me either!

Fun fact: Edmund Fitzgerald was a founding partner of the Milwaukee Brewers. The freighter as named for his father.

SAME! I need to get some stuff pulled around the perimeter of the yard and get my hydrangeas and roses properly protected!

I’m jealous tbh

My office is in the basement with those big glass block windows so I can’t see much through them, but the sun must have come out bc it just got brighter

We also shoveled early, but this stuff is fluffy, so I’m hoping we can just sweep it

This is so heartbreaking

And the suburbs they represent!

Thanks, Dick Durbin

We could get upwards of a foot! 😬😩

Only positive? Might slow ice down

Hey Chicago - it’s potentially going to snow A LOT tonight. If you have neighbors who may not feel safe leaving the house right now, consider clearing their walks and front steps tomorrow.

We have a new electric snowblower and two shovels and plan on doing most of our side of the block.

@durbin.senate.gov why am I hearing that you’re going to cave on the ACA extension? This isn’t what we elected you for.

We put together our new electric snowblower, and we’ve got shovels and pet safer salt ready.

I hope the fuckers who’ve invaded our city don’t know how to drive in snow.

What magic shoes are these?

There ain’t no manger for travers like them here. They can die cold.

Shots fired at immigration agents in Little Village as residents confront Bovino, Border Patrol, authorities say Community members once again confronted a convoy of Border Patrol agents led by Cmdr. Gregory Bovino as it moved through Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods.

Bovino went into popular Carniceria Aguascalientes in heart of Little Village.
“They said they were just here to buy something,” said Elizabeth Gutierrez. “I told them we wouldn’t serve them and escorted them out. Bovino seemed upset, but I don’t care.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/08/c...

Why is this fucking bozo asshole aiming an actual GUN with a 20 round magazine at people? Notably, it’s also a gun about which there are questions about it randomly discharging, so that’s fucking great.

We have a second sign facing the street with the Spanish side.

The horrors persist, but so do we.

Ours seems to mainly be staffed by late teens/early twenties kids and LMAO they will not

(Our pharmacy is in Target, so we’re there semi-regularly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I’m so proud of her 🥹

An amazing person doing something absolutely incredible for the children in her community. This is an important thread. #UglyDogs
