Better than no rest of any kind (source: Mythbusters ep 198: crabtastic), but yeah, not great, boss.

i don’t really understand why this made me start bawling i just really love seeing people try to help each other in creative ways and that this shit is necessary

Agreed, glad to have you on board. So what are you going to DO?

Glad to hear you won't let it stand, but that's extremely vague. What will you DO?

If you’re in Illinois and you’re disturbed by the images that you’re seeing of the Illinois State Police in Broadview this morning, please call now. It will honestly take 30 seconds. I spoke to a real person.

Here are the phone numbers:

312-814-2121

312-814-2122

217-782-6830

217-782-6831

If you live in Illinois, we need your help.

This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

Certificate of Awareness I AM a Chicagoan. I DO know my Chicago. I HAVE been to the Art Institute. I have NOT seen the Union Stock Yards. I WILL stick with Chicago if Illinois secedes. I MUST have my fortnightly copy of The aware Chicagoan delivered to me regularly by mail, at your absurdly democratic price of $3 for 26 issues, and my name IS: (Address).

Filling out my certificate of awareness from 1927.

Everything is terrible but kids can help other kids. The opportunities for them to give back are smaller, but this is a good one, especially given the loss of USAID this year.

This is two blocks from a school. Granted, pretty much everywhere on the Northside of Chicago is under four blocks from a school, but this one? Is where MY kids go.
I hope these kidnappers never know peace, and are never again confident that their food is saliva-free.

Thank you so much for this! Can you please repost with alt text on the images? That will make it more accessible.

Something I want to get better about: Don't repost panic / shitty news without a connected call to action.

Lashed to a bedframe? Or base of a sofa? Pointy bits directed inward for safety.

But loving the "grill of the moving vehicle" idea.

reminder for people who run a patreon: their autopilot spammer is due to kick on automatically on sept 30. Disable it here, unless you actually want to spam your patrons with automated sales tactics.

If you want to support the Chicagoans most at risk of disappearing, this is a great way to do that. Protect your tamale lady!

Yes, and! ICE is kidnapping US residents without due process. The Constitution protects all PEOPLE in the US, not just citizens.

Protect all of us, or you're only doing half your job.

The Broadview ICE holding facility tonight, where Chicagoans are facing pepper shot, gas, mace, and worse in trying to reach our abducted families and neighbors. Unraveled is doing phenomenal work in the quoted thread.

This kid is going places. And rating them. And...uncovering crime? My fave part is noting that Lucky's Diner is "kid-friendly"

The widely accepted narrative that Trump "chickened out" on Chicago is completely incorrect. ICE's incursions are getting worse here every day.

I had never really thought about the fact that The Lord of the Rings is the 500,000+ word version of “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house” but here’s the explanation.

Thank you for your "no" vote.

Are there any mutual aid groups established in Chicago(land) who are providing direct financial support to individuals/families targeted by the ICE raids?

I’m explicitly thinking about people who’d be able to keep themselves safer if they could stay home, but have no choice bc they need to earn.

Two flags crossed to bar the viewer's way down a road? a gate? hard to say. The flag on the left is the "american" flag, but has only 11 stripes, and the star field is kinda L-shaped and there's a mutant flipper-flag hanging off the back of the main flag. The flag on the right is mostly the "Canadian" flag, but it ALSO is infected with some american flag mold. It also has a tag that reads "State Tarff" under which is some pastiche Asian writing. It's an entire AI mess.

Tumblr, what in the honeybaked AI fuck is this ad?

I reported it as "broken" because that's really the only word for it.
STATE TARFF

There is a difference between "Obligate Carnivore" and "Oblate Carnivore" and I biffed it.

OR DID I?

Our cat is pretty round.
