Those are good although Ozzie did once talk about doing Santeria animal sacrifice in Venezuela if that matters. Add Richie M Daley to the list, not that he’s anybody anymore…

Meet me in the garage with a hot and ready

Written like a white guy that spent the civil rights era in prison lol

another neighbor got abducted today, new gofundme about to drop. if you're in the NW side he was a server at Alps and they are donating 25% of sales this weekend to him. as for my prior neighbor who got abducted, his gofundme was a huge help to his family and will be used to bond him out imminently

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

no one cancels The Beach Boys even tho Dennis was drowning in underage Manson girls that’s for for sure, also his solo record is amazing 😬

DHS Kept Chicago Police Records for Months in Violation of Domestic Espionage Rules The Department of Homeland Security collected data on Chicago residents accused of gang ties to test if police files could feed an FBI watchlist. Months passed before anyone noticed it wasn’t deleted.

NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying.

The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

If I had evidence implicating the federal government and their rich enablers in a global scheme to sexually abuse children, I would not release that evidence in a series of strategic lore drops like it was an ARG

i was obsessed too

There’s no reason he hasn’t seen the fearless vampire killers

no excuses

Senate democrats fold on shutdown for agreed upon "30 minute head start" in the newly constructed Punishment Park

Historically these are called concentration camps

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

Imagine not learning anything from fiction….

and Eli Wallach!

Skokie is known for it's huge post-ww2 jewish population, where nazis tried to march in the 1970s (resulting in supreme court case on free speech and a made for tv movie starring Brian Dennehy), and home to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center

sounds made up, like "midwstern emo"

Obviously a major release in its own right but also, essays in there from Shawn, Arlin and @marshlands.bsky.social wow!!!! Run don't walk!

uh oh you caught me!

Border Patrol agent 'bragged' about shooting woman in Brighton Park, defense attorney says Testimony from the agent who shot a woman multiple times in an immigration enforcement action revealed how he touted his marksmanship in leaving seven wounds despite firing five bullets. He later text...

A Border Patrol agent who shot a woman five times on Chicago’s Southwest Side later bragged about his shooting skills to friends:

“I’m up for another round of ‘f--- around and find out.’”

They counted on making Chicago mad and provoking violence but what they did instead was viscerally disgust any human with even the slightest sense of morality and it’s not gonna go the way they want

‘Doesn’t look good’: ICE agent charged with drunken driving after shift at Broadview detention center An Immigration and Enforcement agent has been charged with drunken driving after his car crashed after a shift at the Broadview detention center.

which is crazy when you consider 2 men from the same family ran this town for 45 of last 60 years (lol) and even crazier when you consider the machine that goes back farther than that

but to your point: it's been a mixed bag. Harold Washington the goat famously got stonewalled by the racism caucus and BJ has stumbled facing massive opposition but we (with our long history left/radical politics etc) are capable of tossing out the neolibs, all i'm sayin!
