Oh, Bears. That was a heartbreaker. Hell of a game (and season), though.

Dozens of Little Village high schoolers walked out of class today to protest immigration raids.

Best Big City: Chicago Wins Award 9th Year in a Row Learn why Chicago was voted the Best Big City for the 9th consecutive year by exploring our vibrant culture, welcoming inclusion, and so much more.

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW.

While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

Hell yes, Chicago.

A friend reminded me of this quote from Anthony Bourdain today. A good one to read as fascists continue to terrorize my city and my neighbors.

I have taken
the Tylenol
that was in
the medicine cabinet

and which
they think probably
is the reason
you like trains

forgive me
but that’s bullshit
you got autism
from your dad

I wish I had heard about the rapture sooner. I wouldn’t have done so much laundry yesterday.

Apparently my new hobby is reminding my relatives that live 500 miles away from Chicago and never come to Chicago that I, a Chicago resident within the Chicago city limits, am actually sitting in Chicago at the exact moment they are telling me to beware of Chicago.

Sorry, Trump: Chicago Is Not The 'Murder Capital Of The World' — Not Even Close, Data Shows Chicago has been a political punching bag for decades, and while there is crime here, statements about it being a "hellhole" are just plain false. “There are just a lot of cities that have higher homi...

I just had a lovely breakfast on the patio at a restaurant in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the country where people were walking their dogs and pushing strollers down the street. Didn't seem like a crime-ridden hellhole to me. But what do I know? I've only lived here for 24 years.

Will Trump send troops to Chicago next? City and state leaders call the threat an "authoritarian power grab." blockclubchi.co/45wD5Vd

Chicago’s "No King" march drew thousands to protest President Donald Trump. The event is one of 2,000 planned across the nation today.

I do wonder what it costs financially to have an army occupying Los Angeles and why I keep being told the government doesn't have enough money to pay for public schools to buy supplies for their teachers

Although I am not planning on leaving my current gig, I do keep an eye out for other opportunities just in case. Today I got a job search email that listed a bunch of HR jobs, and one for “wildlife management.” Definitely falls under the compatible skills category, I guess.

A large yellow circle with the words "Act! It's an Overflow Action Day. Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago is listed with its official seal. The logo of Friends of the Chicago River is at the bottom of the circle with wavy lines to indicate water.

Lots of rain means an Overflow Action Day in Chicago!

Over the next 48–72 hours combined sewer overflows release untreated or partially treated wastewater into the river system.

I don’t remember ever getting an emergency alert for a dust storm in Chicago before. Stay safe out there, friends.

Oh wow. That’s a bucket list show for me, for sure. I’m so glad you had an amazing experience!

This is Shadow. He forgot to put on his parking brakes. 12/10 we’ve all been there

Nixon: Break into their offices

G. Gordon Liddy: Sounds good

Bernstein: 👍

My governor, everyone. LFG!

I’ve seen clips being posted, but the whole speech is worth watching.

Insert obligatory "but her emails!" here. Good grief, this is mind-blowing, not to mention just plain dangerous.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Absolutely unbelievable, you spineless coward. “Testing our checks and balances”? Looks like you missed a pretty obvious opportunity for a check.
