As of right now, the Packers lost Zach Tom, Christian Watson, Micah Parsons, and Evan Williams in this game.
Just an absolute disaster.

I can’t quite put into words what it’s been like in Chicago these past weeks, trying to support our neighbors during dramatic and frequent ICE raids. It is genuinely frightening, truly unnecessary, and traumatizing for so many. And our children are bearing witness in their schools and communities.

In a video taken by a witness and shared with the Sun-Times, cars could be seen blocking the white, unmarked SUV before a masked agent rolled down his window and dropped the canisters. Smoke spread around the vehicle and passersby began to scream.
Masked federal agent throws chemical irritants outside Logan Square grocery store: 'My eyes are burning'

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago.
He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.”
“How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me.

The rule of finally deciding to make a big fun purchase (cargo e-bike) is that something expensive will immediately go wrong in your house (second kitchen leak in two months leading to new wood floors plus a bonus new dishwasher)

THE WORLD: Will the new pope will continue Pope Francis' focus on inclusion and care for the poor?
CHICAGO: Despite early reports that Pope Leo is a Cubs fan, we're live with his brother from his TV room in an inner-ring suburb where he says no, his mom was a Cubs fan but Bob roots for the Sox.

Just a really enlightening thread that neatly reveals a challenge that as a white mom I don't really have to think about. I'm grateful for this type of vulnerability and sharing and the way it challenges me to see others more fully and check my own assumptions.
Loved this by @sarahradz.bsky.social in @thepom.bsky.social! Like all Pom pieces, it got me thinking about how while somethings about early parenthood are universal, others are so particular to the person. (1/)
Very important essay from @sarahradz.bsky.social for @thepom.bsky.social in which she urges parents to sit the hell down.

Chicagoans are on fire on the internet with this Pope news. Have already snorted out loud at hyperspecific jokes a dozen times. Proud of us.

I reported on economics full-time in 2020. It taught me there are no incentives to have a baby in the US. Women in the US have to pay for pre-natal, medical and child care, earn less, do most of the parenting and chores, get promoted less, and are now at 27% higher risk of maternal mortality.

Reporting on mental illness is hard - the issues are nuanced & complicated. It touches dozens of sectors. There's potential for exacerbating stigma. This thoughtful, deeply researched, and resonate series by @szreports.bsky.social & Frank Main is excellent:

In 1971, shortly after the EPA was founded, the agency commissioned dozens of photographers to document environmental issues and scenes across the U.S. The "DOCUMERICA" project captured pollution, urban decay, conservation efforts, and everyday American culture.
