A reminder: if you see someone shoplifting food, water, baby formula, diapers, tampons, etc. etc.

A pale purple lilac bloom in late October held over dark mulch and leaves

A lovely surprise but really HOW Is a lilac bush flowering in late October?! They were my mom’s ❤️favorite so I’m taking it as a “Hey! Get out of your head sometimes and stop to smell flowers” reminder.

Also saw a hawk watching over my yard so there’s that too. A good start to my day.

Well shit. I'm convinced.

Walton Goggins on acting. But this could just as easily apply to writing for the page or the screen.
Or, in fact, even to life itself.

For the record, I have all my life been pronouncing "gyre" with a g-sound and not a j-sound, and I understand that the j-sound version is recognized as the "correct" version, WHICH IS WRONG, also it's "gif" with a "g," anyone who says otherwise is a plant for Big J

Another symptom of dementia

Feels like it’s only a matter of time before Miller decides Trump blathers the secret part out loud too often and he will suddenly disappear with a lingering “minor illness”

My assumption is he means this test, which he treats as “they test to see how big my brain is” but that is instead used to test cognitive decline and even to look for damage post-stroke, correct?

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Hello Chief and APD Leadership, I just wanted to jot a quick thank you note for those who participated in this meeting with the Latino community about ICE in our neighborhoods. Sadly, this problem is not going away anytime soon. Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement - defending capital. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor; not capital. Labor vs. police: Learning from working-class history Workers World In this current struggle, I believe that we are 2-3 years away from a moment where we see the shift in solidarity. I would like to see Aurora lead, and show something different. It will create discomfort during the transformation. I noticed during the march towards Blue Kangaroo, when the police escort disappeared, that activists I didn't know used their vehicles to block the intersections and protect the marchers.

All living things have the capacity to evolve and grow. Government is about to go through a huge evolutionary period and shed that which is not necessary, and re-focus on what is important. As government continues to disintegrate from the top down, we have an opportunity to re-invent the ways we find food, water, shelter and protection. We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different, leave our mark in the history books, and make a difference. I'm excited about the opportunity and look forward to discussing it further. Respectfully, John Laesch Mayor, City of Aurora laesch@aurora.il.us

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)

So here it is!

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Omg spot on!

Because President Botstein understands the job of a university president. Protective your students.

Good morning. It’s 32° F. Winter is coming godddaaammmit

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Federal agents shot two people during a violent and chaotic immigration abduction. That’s the actual headline here
