Well at least in your mind if you want to be

Halfway surprised these dickweeds didn't fire teargas at their own reflections. I hope the city checks to make sure none of them attempted to use bowie knifes to carve in their initials.

Seems to me like forcing a bar to turn off their TVs during Game 7 of the World Series would be antithetical to keeping things calm and peaceful but what do I know
Los Angeles, CA -

LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.

And I want nothing
lt's what I'm trained to beleve in
But I can still dream of things
That have never been
But someday will be

Is it @rushmedical.bsky.social’s policy to allow ICE to kidnap patients/persons on their property without a judicial warrant?
More on what happened yesterday in Aurora, including the fact that Rush-Copley's lawyer claimed the hospital shouldn't refuse ICE access while the Kane Co State's Attorney says it has the right to.

Twice in this video, this loser does the sign of the cross wrong. Instead of forehead, heart, then both shoulders, he touches one shoulder and then his fucking tie. Of course least of what’s wrong with him, but can’t he try a little harder to pretend to be Catholic? www.instagram.com/reel/DQPqs_O...

What a big life Tony Fitzpatrick had. What a loss for Chicago. Our lives intertwined intensely for many of my and @shannonsparkle.bsky.social’s formative years, and I’m lucky for knowing him. Love to his family.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

This list is annoying, but leaving off Keith Carradine’s “I’m Easy” (which he wrote!) is criminal.

today my friend, a teacher, was asking me about work and said “if you could tell me one thing right now, what would it be?”

and i told her that the attack on senator padilla and the murders in minnesota are just the beginning; that more violence is coming, and burying your head isn’t an option.
