Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Illustration of a person shoveling snow on a sidewalk while a small dog with a heart above its head peeks out from behind the snow pile. Text reads: “Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. Go easy on the salt. Before you grab the salt, sweep, shovel, or scrape snow and ice off the sidewalk. Learn why at mwrd.org/salt.” Snow is gently falling against a light blue background.

❄️ Winter weather has arrived! Salt enhances safety & helps with icy conditions, but excessive salt use can also harm our local water environment, fish, wildlife, insects, bodies of water, soil, & the paws of our four-legged friends. 🐕 🐈 🐢🐟 🦅🦝🐾

Our dumb senator's phone system wasn't accepting voicemails yesterday so none of us could voice our opinion about his cowardice and complicity, thanks @durbin.senate.gov

Primary every incumbent Democrat. Fight you fuckers FIGHT

From the top rope

When I run errands these days, I make sure I have my keys, my phone and my whistle. I wear the whistle in case I spot Homeland Security thugs terrorizing people and need to alert my neighbors. Lots of people are wearing them.
That’s how Trump has changed life in my hometown, Evanston, IL.

Okay so which publication will be regularly calling every richie rich who claimed they were gonna leave NYC to confirm if they have left yet.

Homeland Security Boss Says Federal Immigration Agents Haven't Detained US Citizens. She's Wrong Dozens of U.S. citizens have been detained at protests, handcuffed and interrogated on the street or swept up in raids since Operation Midway Blitz began.

Here's a good headline, if only our national media would follow suit. Thank you @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Oh hell no!

ICE is very active in Albany Park again today!! Black Chevy Tahoe with IL plates, Black Chevy Silverado with Missouri plates

Pritzker isn’t perfect but he’s fought back without casually tossing aside trans rights or brutalizing the homeless. It can be done. It’s a choice they make.

Newsom is a fighter, I guess, but he’s using trans people as a shield to take the hits. That’s not leadership, that’s selfish ambition.

Two ICE vehicles were confirmed to have been at Leland and Damen about ten minutes ago, according to rapid responders.

White Jeep Wagoneer - MO Plate - WM8VG5
Red Jeep Wagoneer - IL FP Plate - 325975

There's a lot of talk here about Democratic Party messaging and I think they should focus on two things: stopping ICE/Border Patrol's thuggery and ending phone and email spam/scams; 2 out of every 3 phone calls and/or emails I receive anymore are scams

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

This is in the city of Chicago proper, not the suburbs:

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Candy corn is good, actually

Saturday's Start. This morning with the autumn colors scattered over Chicago's Lincoln Park.

I have yet to surpass the White House blueskys follower count, but you can help with this bit by following my account thank you

Feds Detain At Least 2 People During Random Stops In Wicker Park, West Town The random stops are at odds with the mission of Operation Midway Blitz, which federal officials previously said would "target the worst of the worst criminal" undocumented immigrants.

Fuck this shit

Hey New Yorkers! You can STILL REGISTER TO VOTE!!! (The deadline is tomorrow.)

Also, vote Mamdani!

Better than Fette Sau?

There is entirely too much Mike Tirico in our lives right now

Tirico is unctuous, and a bore

help me get more followers than the White House Bluesky account, as a bit

You need to see this…

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Why can’t it be both?
