1) The NYC election was a three-way race, and
2) Mamdani was undermined by Democratic party leaders.

Those feel like pertinent context.

ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier).

People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.

I read this at @missspoken.bsky.social the other night:

A patch that says police on the bottom and has a figure with a lance on a white horse above the word police. There are words above the horse image, but I do not know what they are.

Cops clad all in black with helmets and masks on and guns. Their helmets have right Shields over the front. This is outside the Broadview, Illinois ice facility. One of the cops also has zip ties.

I went to Broadview ICE facility again today. They blocked off 25th, a lot of sheriffs police, local cops& Illinois state police. Around noon, riot police w/ weapons, helmets, zip ties came out. All in black & I cannot figure out what this patch says. The word on the bottom is police. Anybody know?

State of Illinois now doing the goons' job for them.

maybe we need one for @missspoken.bsky.social, though i always thought my yelling from the stage before intermission was somewhat effective at garnering donations 🤔 💵

Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters.

That’s how you convert a democracy into something else.

Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

ICE is turning around now, escorted by Broadview police.

Crowd is jubilant.

Someone is shouting, "this is what it takes! They are turning around!"

Almost wished I lived in NYC so I could vote for this guy.

If you’re a US LGBTQ person who has an Irish parent/grandparent & thinking about applying for a passport

▪️do it now

Our passport service is struggling with the volume of applications from the US, with so many Queer Irish Americans seeking to escape

Definitely go when you are in the area.

There’s a guy on TikTok who organizes flash mobs to twerk around cops yelling “arrest me, daddy” and I think we should definitely do that when the military shows up in chicago.

"Lil Nas X was charged Monday with four felonies after police say he charged at them"

No one is as proudly fragile as a cop

I am so tremendously thankful that JB Pritzker is my Governor.

When he ran I was extremely skeptical but he has proven to be an amazing leader time and time again.

Friends outside of Illinois: I know you are skeptical of him because he is a billionaire but watch his actions. They speak volumes.

the problem with living in a super diverse neighbourhood is that regularly there are food smells that waft in my windows that make me want to go door to door and say "are you cooking? can I have some? can I have the recipe?"

utterly amazing curry scent wafting in right now and I want to die

I'm an alum and this would be the end (derogatory) of the University of Chicago as we know it. Wow.

This is one of the cutest things I’ve ever read

Salem Collo-Julian has dark hair and wear glasses. They wear a red sweatshirt and smile while holding a small terrier mix who itself is wearing a red sweater.

@missspoken.bsky.social will be back next week at Cole’s Bar for BURNT with @hollohulo.bsky.social!

Salem Collo-Julin is a writer and performer who currently works for the Chicago Reader. She is a bisexual biracial nonbinary Chicagoan. She currently lives between Back of the Yards and Canaryville.

as @bencollins.bsky.social noted the computerboys at wired keep breaking these stories while the msm is too busy gossiping with their gop buddies and pals

Chinese Students Flocked to Central Illinois. Their Food Followed.

Pitch: someone calls an anonymous tip into ICE about a house full of illegal immigrants. ICE starts watching the house and decides to do a night raid. The immigrants are all vampires. The vampires called in the tip.

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

It's gonna be a swell time.

INSIDE.

WHERE THERE IS AIR CONDITIONING.

Going to London in July for Wimbledon, assorted summertime shenanigans.

Come see this! It's a great show (and I'm not just saying that because I happen to be in it).
