I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

don’t know how people deal with the scents that come with having an animal living inside their home. do cat owners know their apartments smell of urine & litter? I could never be okay with that.

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team This is Chicago's only Black owned media outlet and a crucial part of ICE/CBP reporting during an actual emergency. Unacceptable/please free @thetriibe.com
So... @support.bsky.team still hasn't given any tangible help on how we can get access to our @thetriibe.com account again.
It's going on a week now.
Will be posting our stories from here in the meantime.

Gov. JB Pritzker signs 'right-to-die' legislation for terminally ill people to end their lives in Illinois
The new law, which takes effect next September, opens the door for people 18 or older with a terminal diagnosis to be prescribed a fatal drug.

my most unhygienic habit as a person is free bleeding every month at the end of menstruation & being consistently shocked at the consequences. like the sight & scent & management of blood clots the first 4 days is so horrific that I cannot be bothered to deal with the regular blood that comes after.

The snowy owls sitting on Montrose Pier this foggy morning. The Chicago Park District has closed the pier’s far end to keep people from getting too close.

Of course. This may in fact happen by midnight. The thing is that Mamdani will be able to say 'well that's not what he said when I met with him' and keep it moving.
Thing is, when Mamdani does something early next year that challenges some Trump admin nonsense, you *know* that Trump is going be extra angry and suggest it's a backstabbing, noting how "nice" he was to him in the Oval Office as if that means Mamdani should now agree to all of Trump's demands.

Trump will always go immediately back to being awful but I just keep thinking about how many lives will be bettered for ICE in the city just even being held back even a little bit because his antagonism is tempered by just finding Mamdani charming

zohran’s charisma had trump basically/almost saying “public safety is about making sure people can afford to live” like I know trump predictably reflects who he respects/is around but WOW
Q: You have differences when it comes to ICE agents in NYC. How do you reconcile them?
TRUMP: We're gonna work them out. The mayor wants to have a safe New York. We're gonna work together.

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.
