Big W for the Bulls, Cardiac Bulls never die and the bench mob is back!?!
Bulls win a HUGE one in Denver to snap a five-game losing streak.
Josh Giddey led scoring with 21 points, but the real star of the show was the bench — combined for 64 points with major contributions from Ayo Dosunmu and Jalen Smith.

Jubilant day for Joel Camas, the 16-year-old from the Bronx detained by ICE last month. Judge Cathy Seibel ordered his release, and he has just been reunited with his uncle. In court, Seibel lamented that migrant "kids are getting held for six months even though they have a safe place to go"

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

Look how cool @mags.colvett.online's "Whose streets? Our streets posters / ICE out of NYC" are!
Also, when we temporarily ran out of zines to fold, I LOVED how the adults happily started coloring the posters.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."
Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

Went to an anti-ICE zine folding/whistle distribution event and so many people showed up we are overflowing to the sidewalk. Best part has been explaining to curious pedestrians what is happening, and the overwhelming positive vibe. ICE OUT OF NYC!

On this day in 1830, North Carolina passed laws that criminalized teaching enslaved Black people to read and that made the repeated dissemination of anti-slavery pamphlets punishable by death.

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.
