The Pride And Joy of Trans Jazz, Illinois
All at once, the room becomes a cacophony of style and character, of pride with no prejudice, steeped in color and music, joyous in its many blended acts of singular daring.

“They will have to prove themselves again and again.” In Chicago’s Wicker Park, there’s a jazz jam that highlights women and gender non-conforming musicians. Here’s the story of just four of them.
This is satire. Obviously I would never seriously suggest joining Border Patrol.
Like imagine working Border Patrol AND drunk driving, immediately negating the coolness of drunk driving.

Markiplier really made the most immersive Let’s Play of all time.
Markiplier’s ’IRON LUNG’ was #1 domestically on its opening day with $9M.
The film has already made at least 3X its production budget.

I’ve played a ton of milsim games over the years (ARMA III, my beloved), and there were always those guys who were playing bc they were too young or scared to join the actual military. Well, now’s their chance IRL, and they do NOT like this server.
these guys are LARPing like siege commanders talking about "supply lines"
rightoids literally cannot comprehend the idea of a community caring for their own; these people live in Minneapolis their supply line is a five minute drive to the grocery store

Philando Castile informed the police that he was lawfully carrying. He was killed.
Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

Mask was frosting over in the cold couldn't see anything. So I wipped the inside down with a hand warmer and then left it inside. It worked wonders and then used one on the outside anytime some frost showed up. Hope this helps if you need to defrost your gas mask at any point 🙏🏼 stay safe!

MAGAs grew up with the first picture and went “well obviously the flag guy is the good guy.”
The first image was taken in 1976, 50 years ago. The second was taken this weekend.
Stanley Forman took this Pulitzer Prize winning photograph during a series of protests against desegregating busing. I took the second photo this weekend outside a protest against Trump’s immigration enforcement

A word of caution: cops are absolutely freaky about their property. I don’t have enough experience with ICE/CBP to say for sure, but Chicago police and most Feds will come down really hard on anyone who fucks with their loot, without regard to the value of the loot.

In Broadview, IL last fall, federal violence at the local ICE facility saw several tear gas canisters and HUNDREDS of pepper balls deployed in under 10 minutes. Neighbors reported feeling it several blocks away in subsequent days, even with all their house windows closed.
There is so much tear gas in the air it can be felt driving on the other side of highway 94 in Minneapolis - in your car.

this is exactly the story they told about Silverio Villegas Gonzalez -- which turned out to be entirely false
in case you were wondering, the popular story with the right about the shooting in minneapolis is that they shot a suspect who was fleeing ICE and trying to hit the ICE agent with their car

journalists who repeat dhs's lies are complicit
You cannot believe them. You should not just be a stenographer for their claims. Everything has proven this from this entire year from Chicago to LA and now Minneapolis.
ICE is claiming the shooting was because the observer tried to hit them with their car and was so justified. Every experience in Chicago suggests that is bullshit. They lied and body cams and other cameras demonstrated ICE lied consistently in situations like this.

It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall.
It's probably not your fault—too much news.
But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.
