soooo my Chicagoans, has anyone else's neighborhood facebook group gone from desperately apolitical (regarding federal politics) to at least 40% about ICE/DHS activity and organizing against it? like it's hard to overstate this shift

the palpable hatred for ICE in every corner of the city is visible with very rudimentary graffiti and tags on every other block in chicago - it’s quite a thing of beauty to be this unified.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I don't think it's possible to come up with a better metaphor for Trump's presidency than him cheerfully flying a plane that dumps literal shit on America

54,371 runners crossed our finish line on Sunday. Lots of smiles. Lots of tears. Lots of vomit. Proud to have this crew by my side for another year as Finish Line Manager of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. #chicagomarathon

Very sad to lose Jay as a coworker/boss at Running USA, but as a friend I'm excited for him as he steps into this new position. USATF is getting one of the best out there.
Jay Holder, formerly of Atlanta Track Club and RunningUSA, was today named chief content & communications officer for USATF.
"Jay brings not only deep expertise in strategic communications and content, but also a lifelong passion for our sport," said CEO Max Siegel.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.
The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.
The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history
