ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

An NYT headline reads “Federal Officers Shoot Person in Minneapolis”

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

ICE are indistinguishable from a terrorist organization

"Oh boy am I excited to watch my fav team play" "I'm going to kms" "Nice we won" meme

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

the "the myth of consensual sex" meme where it's a couple saying they consent but then jesus is off to the side saying he does't, but it's been changed so it says "the myth of consensual urban transit planning" And the couple is labeled "city dwellers" the man is saying "we should make it easier to not drive here" The woman is saying "like building bike lanes or adding bus routs." And Jesus has been replaced with clip art of a farmer, labeled "someone who lives 1000 miles away and has no involvement whatsoever." and is saying "Stop trying to take my car away I will kill you" text at the bottom still says "isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?"

any discussion of city transit improvement online ever

it’s been a huge goal for elon musk and the entire tech reich to destroy real journalism and install a generation of people who are “citizen journalists” because they are far easier for them to control and influence to spread their agenda

i’ve been watching old lou reed interviews and i’m obsessed with this 50 year old interview and his response to being asked if he identifies as a transvestite or homosexual

The Problem with My City Is That It’s a City Our 23rd most-read article of 2025. - - -I’ve lived in this city for decades, but I’m noticing more and more problems. There’s crowding, congestio...

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

Who has made this 🤣

Every new word in this sentence is worse than the last

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

I love goalie fights. Imagine having beef with someone 200 ft away. It’s truly inspiring.

A woman and a man smile at each other. A caption says: “Nationality — Chicago.”

In the 1953 movie “The Blue Gardenia,” Ann Sothern’s character includes this information when she describes herself: “Nationality — Chicago.”

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Mannys stating that if you come in during the first week of November and show your SNAP card, they will make a family meal for there or to go.

SUPPORT MANNY'S IF YOU ARE IN CHICAGO.

Just got back to the city and about to board a CTA train that’s not going to get cut because our community showed the fuck up and organized like hell.

And I think that’s a beautiful thing.

when we win the masked agents raid our neighborhoods. what do they cover up? (yesterday) is their promise & their charge. on 75th and South Shore they ram down our doors using (yesterday). they toss canisters of (yesterday) into our children’s lullabies. why? my people, we carry (today) & (tomorrow) in twin holsters. we plant (today) & (tomorrow) in our gardens. every day there are more sprouts. let it be known: Chicago will never cower. (yesterday) already died. (yesterday) is dying. (yesterday) will die again. there is no future in (yesterday). the agents in our neighborhoods hide their faces because they are losing. because they lost. when we win, there will be whistles from the gulls circling Lake Michigan. let them sing it: Chicago is a city of (today) & (tomorrow). Chicago is the future.

“Chicago is the future.“

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.
