Iโ€™m heading to the Chicago protest. Iโ€™m kind of expecting it to be huge, after the past few weeks here.

Oh lord! A new Twitter exodus means Thomas butt and Alf hog again, doesn't it?

I bought some flags on July 5 because I thought I'd need them for protest at some point in the near future. Best $3 spent this year

I'm expecting Chicago's to be utterly massive. My normie bf and my have problems standing for an hour self are gonna be there. The bf was the one who suggested it, before I said anything.

I watch Try Guys, so I know too much about this, but I would have loved to have been in the room when Keith and Zach found out about this. Were they actually rolling on the floor in laughter?

At some point both ATC and the TSA will stop showing up for work. That's when it affects folks with money.

I happen to be in Detroit doing family stuff this weekend, but I just saw video in Albany Park where ice Gasser everyone, 4 blocks from my home. Ordered a pack of whistles as soon as I saw it. Especially since we're back in Chicago tomorrow.

Donโ€™t forget the monthly injections

I canโ€™t 3D print one, but Iโ€™m in Chicago and just found one online and I live in Albany Park. You will hear this one video soon enough.

Iโ€™ve had double hip replacement, so standing for long periods is painful for me. And Iโ€™m planning on being at No Kings next week. So is my bf who doesnโ€™t read the news, but asked me if we should be going to it.

There is a non-zero chance that the Pope comes to Chicago to join a pro immigration rally.

There is a non-zero chance that the Pope will come to Chicago to lead a pro-immigration/anti-ICE protest.

You know it's been stressful when you're watching this video of Dolly telling us she's fine, and you just start crying.

A weird skill I apparently learned in my 6 months as a door to door salesperson 25 years ago. I'm really good at seeing through BS. As shitty as that job was, THAT ONE THING has helped me immeasurably in life.

Stonewall and the death of Judy Garland are definitely connected. So, yeah, it's a possibility.

Oh Lort! Pray for Dolly. Weโ€™re not ready for her to go home yet.

The Jewel-Osco deli hotdog. It's $1, terrible for me and so so delicious.

After an experience at 4 years old being chased by a turkey (while funny is retrospect, that's one of the 3 or 4 vivid memories of that time of my life), makes me just not feel bad about eating turkeys. They'd chase and peck me to death if they could.

As a Chicagoan, it's meh. Now tavern style, I will fight for.

CPD, not known for holding grudges for decades and really disliking non local control. That CPD? Yeah, probably not the best idea to piss off.

Why did you make a joke about murdering a black man in power through defenestration? No matter how you feel about his politics, that's gonna make every black person who hears that walk away from you

And the militaryโ€™s reaction to that thing on Tuesday has probably made him realize he canโ€™t count on the military doing what he wants.

Itโ€™ll likely happen in the next few days in Chicago. Itโ€™s pretty clear theyโ€™ve been ramping up here, trying to get us to react.
