Lightning & thunder snow! In November?!?! Wow … are we in for a shit winter.

Picture of an empty El stop at Jefferson Park Blue Line showing the eway running next to it and snow - November snow …

Jefferson Park Blue Line Stop - snow continues…

Well - apparently KARMA!

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

We sold out 2 tamale vendors, bought out 2 more vendors, and absolutely swarmed a family owned bakery. It was a good day with some the very best of #BikeChi 🥰 for the 4th installment of the Street Vendor Bike Tour. We persist. ✊🏽

Another game, another 3 points needed! Hopefully we can head into the international break with another win and another clean sheet would be nice too. 😉

Come on you Gunners!

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago:

A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility.

“Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco/Bay Area - here are some restaurants helping with food if you’re struggling with loss of SNAP benefits.

Please share!

Not that I think any of my fellow Gooners WON’T have seen this but …

THEY HAVE WHOLE CD COMPILATIONS OF THE MUSIC PERFORMANCES! I highly recommend Songs from the Street …

Congrats!

watch him score (watch him score) ... something something red card something something defender .... and that's where I lose the thread ...

see - in my head, we should have sang Granit Xhaka to the tune of Frère Jacques ... Makes much more sense in jo-land ...

Good ... Shut the fuck up is free and should be exercised at all times ...

When Storytelling Is Called ‘Terrorism’: How My Friend and Fellow Journalist Was Targeted by ICE As a DACA recipient, Ya'akub Ira Vijandre’s arrest holds drastic implications for the state of free speech in America.

A photojournalist was arrested by ICE at gunpoint — and his DACA status revoked.

“Ya’akub isn’t being accused of breaking immigration law — his DACA protection doesn’t expire until May 2026. In fact Ya’akub’s lawyers say he hasn’t been accused of any crime.”

Quick recap of Trump's very bad 2 weeks:

- No Kings historic record turnout

- unhinged AI poop slop video (people mad)

- bulldozed White House (people mad)

- Gatsby burlesque party (people mad)

- SNAP threats/cuts (people furious)

- Christian right schism

- Pope mad

- Dems sweep elections

All the hugs to you!

Ok - stuck around the Pub to keep watching the football and did not know that Luis Diaz went to Bayern … and he was just red carded off vs PSG (and Bayern is WINNING 2 nil). Where the Liverpool vs Real Madrid match is fucking brutal and I’m surprised no one has been red carded yet …

Oh yes - at one point in the movie you see a scene with rich family whose large manor has been “chopped up” into many spaces for other residents. The story spans the Bolshevik revolution and beyond … the movie is definitely worth seeing.

YES!

Dr. Zhivago comes to mind when you say that … hahaha …

Can you imagine the real estate that will become available!

Bite your tongue… we pay him handsomely to be bored …

Makes for good pix …
