I miss you and the ability to spontaneously order a snack pack of falafels, Naf Naf Grill. 😭 I didn’t know I even missed you until I scrolled past this in my camera roll … sigh … but now I remember.

Disgusting. If we still have a Constitution to protect, defend, and uphold, that same Constitution guarantees the right of those in the community to protest. If that's on hold, say it out loud. Make an announcement. Otherwise, go away.
Members of the community argue with federal officers during an immigration enforcement action in the Little Village neighborhood Saturday in Chicago.

😭😭😭 I mean, they COULD still go the QO route, but it’s not looking good for my guy here.
Per ESPN's Jesse Rogers, the Cubs have declined the 3-year option on lefty Shota Imanaga, who subsequently declined a 1-year, $15.25M option for 2026. That makes Imanaga a free-agent.

Cubs still have ability to offer him a 1-year, Qualifying Offer ($22.025M).

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

I really like Yamamoto. I like this photo even better because the team branding isn't too prominent. 😆

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

“We can affirmatively conclude that this imprint was not created by a rat," said Michael Granatosky, an evolutionary biomechanist at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
A team of researchers analyzed the anatomical dimensions of an infamous imprint on a Chicago sidewalk, sifting through photos and measuring mammal specimens in museum collections to put what they were seeing in context.

Their conclusion? The Chicago Rat Hole was not made by a rat.

A statistical analysis of an infamous indentation in a sidewalk suggested a 99 percent likelihood that another rodent made the mark.

I – like Trump and RFK Jr. – do not have a medical degree.

So, when questions surrounding medical treatments emerge, I listen to people who do.

I get my information from doctors and public health experts – and urge you to do the same.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
