It’s so funny when the vet writes a prescription for my cat using my last name. Like, what, you thought we were related? Do we look alike? This is just a little guy who lives in my house and eats my food! I call him Mr Banana but that’s not his real name or anything!
Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day.

The head of Chicago's biggest police union was really angry about a measure to rid the CPD of cops with extremist ties

i was all ready to barn-raise for it. but then—what’s that? the community-run rent fund in her area had the resources to cover it! need met! done!
another world is possible.
Supt. Snelling just told the CCPSA that CPD established a perimeter to "control traffic" outside of a South Loop ICE facility in June.
The TRUST Act prohibits police from "any collateral assistance such as ... establishing a security or traffic perimeter surrounding such operations"
Turns out OpenAI is among the groups fueling dark money initiatives to introduce surveillance bills at the state level under the guise of ‘Protecting Children’ like Illinois’ HB5066, and SB3977 all of which are being pushed by @govpritzker.illinois.gov

"Puente rolled down his window and pointed his grenade launcher at a man. 'Get the fuck out of the way!' he yelled, aiming his muzzle at the civilian."
Incredible reporting from @regret.bsky.social and @awinston.bsky.social unmasking violent Border Patrol agents

Today, I talk with @tanuja.bsky.social about rupture and repair in our movements. This is the first of two episodes about conflict, how we process it, and how we can keep our relationships and organizations strong.
illinois healthcare regulators and union workers have raised concerns that advocate's plan to replace the existing trininty hospital with a new facility will result in about 150 fewer on-site hospital beds in an area where there is already a dearth of comprehensive medical care.
You can see videos of Ben Gvir and other Israelis celebrating passing a law to execute Palestinians and then see supposed liberals and leftists of the US afraid to call that state what it is
Good morning to everyone except the dipshit editors continuing to take pitches from Rahm Emanuel's publicist
Three protesters stand against a bright pink, orange, and yellow gradient background with doodle-like accents. In the center, a person in a large inflatable axolotl costume holds a sign reading “FIGHT FASCISM.” On the left, a person in dark clothing holds a sign reading “ABOLISH ICE.” On the right, another person in sunglasses and a plaid shirt holds a second “FIGHT FASCISM” sign. The figures are shown in black and white with white cutout-style outlines over the colorful graphic background.
How organizers and everyday residents—now activists—are stopping ICE around the country. #NoKings

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild
A man marching in No Kings in San Francisco on 3/28/2026. He’s wearing a black ball cap, a green T shirt, and jeans. He’s carrying a small American flag and a small cardboard sign saying “Tom Homan is a corrupt bitch”

San Francisco, CA today
I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them
I just subscribed to @inthesetimes.com, & I hope if you can, you will, too. Affordable: $15. Journalism is facing what the New Yorker has called an "extinction-level event," and left journalism even more so. Keep informed. Support the journalists who keep you informed. w1.buysub.com/pubs/IF/ITT/...
i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow."

The Supreme Court has said the police do not have the duty to protect members of the public. Really makes you think!
The company that made cars for the Nazis wants to make missiles for Israel now.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.
“The ICE warehouse jail in Merrimack is not opening. For the people who would have been detained there and their loved ones, this is a real win. It also proves something larger: detention expansion is not inevitable. Everyday people can stop these facilities.” afsc.org/news/how-sma...
Digital illustration. On top of a grassy hill are a stack of dimensionally-rendered letters reading ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’. A bunny and a squirrel and a bird and a butterfly are nearby. A little mouse is poking its head out of the’O’ in ‘Today’. There are flowers and colorful mushrooms in the grass. A friendly orange sun in a blue sky with one puffy cloud is the background.
Morning affirmation
must be nice
Holy shit. These people must be stopped.
"By the end of 2025, an estimated 39% of the gas power capacity being developed in the US was designed to serve data centers...up from 5% at the end of 2024."
Want to emphasize this isn't a guarantee! Months before Midway Blitz started, they did similar flights (which obviously didn't materialize into next-day enforcement activity).
But it does align with Bovino's threats on his way out of town about CBP returning in the spring.
Flightradar CBP helicopter flight path over Roseland/Pullman/Chatham neighborhoods in Chicago.
Flightradar CBP helicopter flight path over Edgewater neighborhood in Chicago.
From the patterns we saw last summer/fall and tonight’s flight path, it’s safe to expect potential immigration enforcement activity over the next day or two in these neighborhoods:
1. Lincoln Square / Edgewater / Rogers Park
2. Pullman / Roseland / Chatham (?)
