Inside real estate fight that led to South Shore immigration raid City of Chicago inspected the troubled 130-unit apartment complex two weeks before massive federal operation on Chicago’s South Side.

I’ve heard of landlords clearing out a bldg by installing noisy, disruptive tenants but never by siccing the feds on them, complete with Blackhawk helos and Kristi Noem’s videographers. The only press account I could find of the link to Well Fargo is in a real-estate trade journal, The Real Deal:

The truth about Tren de Aragua, the gang at the center of Trump's immigration crackdown The Trump administration says the group should be treated as an invading force. Critics say it’s a pretext for the administration’s anti-immigrant narrative.

IIRC the original “Tren de Aragua” media feeding frenzy started in Aurora, CO, last year when the publicist for an apt bldg mgmt co fed a story to Fox News that a derelict building had been “taken over by Tren de Aragua.” Big campaign issue for Trump! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Thanx! More than I expected actually…

Any word on how many suspected Tren de Aragua members (dudes w/ Bulls paraphernalia or Michael Jordan tats) were apprehended… or is that NA bc of the shutdown? 🤫

No way that Sydney Sweeney’s going to play him in the movie though!

Don’t bother to follow me, Steph. I got nothin’…

Indeed! “Of whose state so many had the managING” doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue either. Sounds like The Roches: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSBO...

You know I hate to be that guy, but wouldn’t the disyllabic “eles” fit the meter better? en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eles#Mi...

I’m surprised he failed to mention how many low-flying bald eagles are incinerated as well…

claim that he’s a fan of “global jihad” still reverberates in the low-info sectors of the internet, NextDoor and eX-Twitter and such…

Most of the objections to Mamdani I’ve seen from “extremely college-educated” ppl tend to write him off as some sort of thin-end-of-the-wedge Bolshevik who’s going to expand rent control and set up Soviet-style municipal grocery stores in food deserts. Of course, Kirsten Gillibrand’s since-retracted

Thx! I’m more of a lurker. Haven’t posted much lately.

Perhaps the mention of performance art. If he’d specifically mentioned mimes or white clowns, that would’ve nailed it.

The Brits, for all their vaunted starchy conservatism, have totally abandoned the subjunctive. I usually defer to Bert Lahr when faced with a tough call like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak3J...

Obviously the OP’s not referring to all ICE protesters

Right! He bankrolled the American Spectator and IIRC David Brock’s not entirely fact-based hit pieces on Anita Hill and the Clintons.

For “millions” read “this one nutty guy from a famous family who’s a big Republican donor.“ I’ll be surprised and disappointed if Rachel Maddow doesn’t devote her entire A-block on Monday to Timothy Mellon’s Earhart obsession. She did a great segment on it a couple of months ago IIRC…

to otherwise be taken really seriously. She had to go steal a male Judæan's slot to be taken somewhat seriously. — 🤣😇🐟Peter the Fisherman.”

Kevin Costner’s a rural mailman who catalyzes the revival of 1997-style civil society after one of those dystopian meltdowns. It’s not a great movie tbh. I’m imagining a Charlie Kirk–style New Testament, with the Disciples throwing shade like “Mary Magdalene does not have the brain processing power

If you replace “exterminate” with “subjugate,” that’s basically what happened after Reconstruction, 𝖓𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖙 𝖜𝖆𝖍𝖗? Also don’t forget Charlie Kirk… I can visualize his future iconography quite clearly, like Kevin Costner’s statue in the park at the end of The Postman.

I’m 77 years old, so I tend to give a ❤️ to any pop-culture post where I vaguely recognize the proper names mentioned. Having said that… sounds legit!

he thinks they may still be alive, like Trump said about Frederick Douglass…

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on X: "Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled. https://t.co/klQlB6MZ6l" / X Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled. https://t.co/klQlB6MZ6l

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but Whiskey Pete Hegseth just tweeted that the perpetrators of the Wounded Knee Massacre (he didn’t quite call it that) of Lakota noncombatants in 1890 “will keep their medals.” Sounds like x.com/SecWar/statu...

After the Jimmy Kimmel kerfuffle, you’d think JD would’ve figured out that the messages that domestic terrorists “write on their bullets” might not necessarily reflect their core beliefs. 🤔

The one that gave me the heebie-jeebies was The Incredible Shrinking Man, which, to her eternal shame, Johnny Bradbury’s mom took us to on her kid’s [I want to say] tenth birthday.

I’ve always felt that the death of Mr. Creosote has taught me a valuable life lesson, i.e. not to reach for that last digestive mint when you’ve already had a sufficiency. OTOH I was well into my 30s when I saw the film.

🇳🇴 EotSWotM? I’d know those gnarly, supercallused palms anywhere…

Idem!
