People talk about "estrangement" and "no contact" like they're new things when I had a couple of great aunts who didn't talk to each other for almost 80 years over a pair of gloves

I don't see why ICE agents don't want to ID themselves. I mean, you have to show your ID to buy groceries according to our esteemed president, and he never lies

good things happen when Bovino leaves your city

It's not going to be about him humiliating others, it's going to be about others humiliating him. I don't even think exposing murder would bother him, he probably thinks he could beat any criminal charges. But he can't have an image of him being "weak" out there

Go Charlotte! Go Charlotte! Go Charlotte!

Dear Charlotte: I am so sorry you're dealing with this now. I hope you keep your heads up and fight

Dear L.A.: anything we Chicagoans should know about this next phase?

Liberalism's Positive Vision Must Be the Open Society Liberalism is not just the mitigation of dangers. It is also an active striving towards a world that is truly free.

"Freedom from want is not a noble ideal just because it mitigates against the suffering inherent in poverty—it is also a key pillar in making a society truly open, as personal wealth is nearly synonymous with choice in a modern, commercial society." www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalisms-...

The problem of course is we have a political and economic system that has eliminated the downsides of insane behavior and risk taking. You can burn down the world and then shrug and walk away with billions. Seems like a problem

They even managed to piss off Tom Skilling

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Need a reminder why we fight?

Here’s one: These precious souls deserve a bright future. 🥰

get this ass out of my state already

Speaking of millennials, they be eatin' all the Tide pods

also because Trump is so removed from how regular people live in this country, he doesn't realize those Thanksgiving deals aren't being touted to prove how great things are but because stores realize people are having a hard time affording Thanksgiving dinner at all right now

I'm going to gain 135 pounds by the midterms just to piss off Dr. Oz. And I'm not having a baby, either

THEIR city?

I am wondering if someone keeps playing Stratego with him and he's won 9 times so far

You’d never catch one of these coddled kids nowadays “working in the lab late one night.” And the only thing their eyes are beholding is their damn phone

Am I late to the party noticing that Trump keeps getting interviewed hanging on to a door frame nowadays? I admit I don't click or follow him being interviewed consistently to I might be just seeing the door frame ones

let them love you back

We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell.

A lady grocery shopping. kids on a playground. teachers. grandmas.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

How Chicago’s MMA gyms, cyclists and pet shelters are uniting to resist ICE Teachers, clergy and MMA students are finding ways to counter immigration authorities’ attempts to detain undocumented neighbors.

"On a recent afternoon, a woman drove across town to Chicago’s South Side with 20 bags of groceries in the trunk after answering a call on a school group chat to deliver food to families."

I think the guy strolling through in his pajama pants kinda demolishes any "war zone" or "unsafe place to be" narratives

I think my favorite thing about this march (besides it being anti-fascist) is seeing how creative and fun people in our country are -- small towns and large, on poster board or theater department quality giant puppets, it makes me want to visit everyone across the country and share a hug and a laugh

Not that evidence matters to the corrupt Supreme Court, but this is what I would show them to prove troops aren't necessary. "Your honor..." points at screen. "even the bike cops are bored at this point. Which they shouldn't be, because that dude's wings are on fire! So is that high school band!"
