Horrifying and unnerving. DHS sent an administrative subpoena to Google for this retiree's records and even sent armed agents out to his house for the "offense" of writing the following completely anodyne email to a federal prosecutor using an email address he found via Google.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

And a Merry Christmas to all....

"fucking vulgar"

good shit 🖖

I have naturally seen many mentions, but I can't help but wonder if the reason it's so popular is because people didn't have a taste of the Glory Days like we did. They're just late!

I appreciate your thorough nature!

Can you send an email to your landlord with a screenshot so that you have a paper trail? That might help you feel better.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

I think about this post every single time I'm stuck at work when it's rainy or snowing.

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

really need folks to understand how close CDC came to a mass casualty event. i saw all the news photos and was still shocked when i saw the dozens of bullet holes across the windows of HQ offices—including some of senior agency leadership. it is truly a miracle more people weren’t hurt

I have a free Sunday with no plans so usually I like to get a little ambitious with CTA coffee explorations, but I was too tired from This Week so I decided to try and find something near my neighborhood that I hadn't been to. Got a tasty sandwich and a respectable spot on a park bench.

Not baddddd

There's the spirit! I was just reading some of the Goings On and then got an air quality alert and was like yeah, sounds about right

I bought the strawberry dish towels months ago and the print smells like chemicals even after several washes 🥲 just a whole lot of Siren calls going on in that company now

i am BEGGING you before you pop off about paywalls to go to your local library's website and scroll through their digital resources. mine gives me access to NYT, WSJ, WaPo and if its linked with PressReader or a similar app, all the news magazines, sports, fashion, hobby etc.

FOR FREE.

a photo grid of dolls with protest t-shirts and signs.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

sometimes I think we're cooked

And now for a random PSA that air purifiers are pretty awesome

Sunday’s Sunrise in Cleveland, Ohio

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

What was it before it got deleted?

Roamed Rogers Park today for many tasty eats and a beach walk and a stop at the witchcraft store for an independent bookstore day purchase (lacked the energy for the full crawl itself).

Kinda want to go to ROTS tonight but what if I get stuck with a loser non reactionary audience for what is really a very depressing movie! I want yelling and cheers, not throwing down 40 bucks for a Vader breathing popcorn bucket and sadness.

YouTube video by Chicago Public Library American Prophets: Making New Gods

I wanted to mention this super interesting sounding panel on how writers create a religion - you can attend in person at the library tonight if you're in Chicago, or watch it live on YouTube.

Cherry blossom season! Headed out to Jackson Park a couple days ago to make sure any storms wouldn't thwart me.
