Greg Rucka’s run on Wonder Woman is [chef’s kiss]

ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion turning warehouses into detention centers ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion converting warehouses into detention centers, according to planning documents, more than the annual budgets of 22 states.

For context, $38 BILLION would cover one full year's extension of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that ended Dec 31.

The current administration's priorities are quite clear: jail brown people (many of whom prove to be legally in the U.S.) + leave more Americans without healthcare.

Nothing like a state Supreme Court Justice flouting the spirit (and arguably the letter) of the constitution they’ve sworn to uphold! Provinv once again that cheating, lying, and outright law-breaking are bedrock conservative values.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Part of me lives in a happy parallel world where season 3 is getting produced. Even now, I like to imagine that, if the live show is a big enough hit, Apple will greenlight that already-written third season. #schmigadoon

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Trump told Palm Beach police chief ‘everyone’ knew about Epstein, Maxwell was ‘evil’ The new information comes as Ghislaine Maxwell was summoned to appear Monday before a Congressional committee.

ok. does anyone know if it's twice per athlon or every two athlons

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

That’s how I started drinking coffee, 30 years ago. Even a simple latte or cafe au lait with your preferred milk would do the trick. Good luck and enjoy!

That’s why humans invented mochas.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” “My nation is under attack."

Chicago always represents.

I know everything is horribly dangerous and awful right now but regular Americans actively loving their neighbors is so beautiful and spiritually fulfilling to see and participate in.

AND ALSO it's very very funny that the right does not understand what it means to have friends and community.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption: On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

Absolutely heartbreaking

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

Gorgeous. Alex Raymond walked so Jae Lee could run!

I’ve never watched The Bachelor, so I don’t have a witty answer. But I’m one of the heathens who’s loved Survivor since Borneo but who didn’t hate the Underwood victory. Of course, I think EoE should’ve stopped at the merge. Nonetheless, It produced one of the show’s most thrilling finales.

The Range and Whimsy of Architect Bruce Goff A major retrospective at the Art Institute showcases the astounding imagination of the maverick architect.

Secondly, further south along Michigan Avenue, you’ll find the beloved @artinstitutechi.bsky.social, currently hosting Bruce Goff: Material Worlds, a whimsical, stunning retrospective of the iconoclastic 20th-century architect.

A Sweeping Yoko Ono Immersion at the MCA Here’s why you shouldn’t miss the exclusive U.S. appearance of the <em>Music of the Mind</em> exhibition.

First up, as mentioned earlier, is @mcachicago.bsky.social’s Yoko Ono retrospective, Music of the Mind. It’s a phenomenal interactive experience. Expect to touch and listen just as much as you look.

Details incoming on two current exhibitions well worth a visit at their respective institutions. But first: We do apologize for the subzero temps. (Even us winter embracers don’t co-sign this current weather nonsense!) Don’t forget to layer up.

If I were the awesome Rob Cesternino, I wouldn't go on another reality competition show without a guarantee that there won't be another Rob around to fuck it up.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

You mean, a little one with a big list of crimes. Don’t forget how tiny those hands are!
