They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

"I recently spoke with Santa Claus, who is currently coordinating his staff of immortal blue-collar elves, about the morality of children and his friendship with a creature whom many carolers consider a war criminal: Krampus."

Real wages (after inflation) were growing at 2.0% last year. Now it’s 0.8% — “clearly playing into what the majority of American households would define as an affordability crisis.”

Mamdani going in there calling Trump sir a couple times and singing the 1-800-588-EMPIRE jingle with him and effortlessly turning him into a committed socialist.

Ok Trump-Mamdani is the first politics thing to make me laugh in forever

If it were satire it would be soooooo over the top

Man this is delightful

Latino US citizens racially profiled by federal immigration agents in Chicago: ‘I felt like a piece of trash’ The Tribune spoke to U.S. citizens and green card holders who have either been questioned or detained during Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

joke's on them if they think chicago winter ends in march

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Tripped over my kid and fell down the stairs today ama

My latest story about how the community at Chappell Elementary in Lincoln Square are trying to help a family after ICE took their dad. It’s a look at the disruption and resistance roiling Chicago

I love that the ruling is “Chicago fucking rules, fuck the liars and the haters”

Sandwich guy walks!!

Ellis is painstakingly details what happened to Juan Munoz, a trustee on the Oak Park Village Board, who was arrested during a protest at the Broadview immigration processing facility in early October.

Munoz was "used as a prop for Department of Homeland Security videos," Ellis says.

"The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice-hold of violence."

"That is simply untrue," Ellis says.

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’”

Couple hundred people in the square between Damen and Lincoln for this. Lots of kids.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Daycare worker in North Center taken by federal agents early Wednesday morning In a video circulating on social media, agents in vests can be seen dragging the woman out of the school building shortly after 7 a.m.

Plaintiff atty start by quoting Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino's own words.

"If someone strays into a pepper ball, that's on them. Don't protest."

The atty goes on to list off incidents of federal immigration agents tear gassing neighborhoods, shooting journalists with pepper balls, etc.

People who live in cities shouldn’t have to apologize or run away from the idea that they love living in cities
