Every man in Chicago weighs either 125 or 250 lbs no matter how tall we are and we are all wearing at least one article of clothing that says “CHICAGO” on it at all times

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

I almost forgot. This was another full of shit fresh candidate who ran in my area. Yes, this old story is way too long, but lordy there was a lot of stuff that didn’t add up. And I still left things out. Anyway, do some due diligence and don’t wait for someone else to do it.
Inventing Keith: State Rep Candidate and “Hero Dispatcher” Has Bio Riddled with Inconsistencies — People's Fabric
Keith Thornton has officially launched his campaign for state representative in the 19th district. There’s just one snag: he appears to be lying about his background, and has been for quite some time.

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.

I've been through and covered enough local election cycles here in Chicago/Illinois to have heard "if you tax the rich everyone will move" so much that it's become expected background noise every time it gets brought up. Would be nice if once folks paid attention to what could be.

It's almost like for all these years, rich and powerful people have been lying to us about what happens when they have to pay their fair share of taxes.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

You know how I hit you up for donations to the National Immigrant Justice Center from time to time?

This is the work those donations support.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Reminder that just this year Alds. Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares introduced an ordinance to rollback protections to once again allow CPD to work with ICE if they claimed it was related to any gang, drug, or prostitution activity. Nine other alders supported it.

so basically what happened was:

ICE / CBP abducted ~1800 people from across the chicago area during june to oct, & did most of it without warrants. of those ~1800 people, only ~750 are still in the us & ~135 aren't eligible for release.

the injustice of everything these people will never get back.

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics
It seems like all of the rich and powerful people around him patronizingly tolerated the race science stuff (“he has such an inquisitive and childlike mind”) in order to get access to his harem of underage sex slaves
The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

Something telling about all these leaks is that Epstein can barely construct an email and, for years and years, the people who made excuses for spending time with Epstein loved to say it was because he was such a brilliant guy. I think it's abundantly clear that's not why anyone spent time with him!

The Harris/Walz campaign solicited me 3 times by text between August 20th and September 20th. Each time, I respectfully and tactfully pressed them to take stronger stances against Israel.

September 20th was the last outreach I would ever receive from her camp — 46 whole days prior to Election Day
