Ex and occasional Chicagoan. Healthcare -> critters -> books, movies, and graphic novels. I heart courtyard buildings.

It is becoming more and more apparent with the photo documentation of ICE raids that most people are getting their idea of what a cop, federal law enforcement officer (a type of cop), SWAT team, etc is "supposed to" look like from TV and movies.
This will become a thread about why this is wrong.

This is a truly stunning display of both jackassery and commitment to a bit.

On July 23rd, 2025, Greene was found lying in a wooded NJ area with her hands and feet bound together w/ black zip ties after her co-conspirator had called 911. She had cuts and lacerations. But detectives confirmed they were actually done by a body modification specialist in PA who they interviewed

Two years and two days ago, a woman delivered some chili to her new neighbors. Everyone was very happy and normal and there were no lasting effects.

The racism I find in the archives isn't always psychosexual, but when it is, it's fucking nuts.

Ironically, no one is more “misandrist” than a dude trying to convince people we’re all sex criminals at heart.
If they faced the fact that their disgusting fetish was not universal, they’d have to take responsibility for it.

when I worked for the city, the annual ethics training said that if someone gifted us a box of chocolates at work, we had to put it in the lobby for the public to enjoy.
“straight up giving the president a bar of gold” is where we’re at now on the “corruption isn’t real” scale

I'm not defending Thomas Massie. He's a huge piece of shit, a more sociopathic libertarian than Rand Paul is, someone who believes that kids should starve if their parents can't afford food. There is no "but", he's scum and we shouldn't pretend he isn't just because he pissed off Trump.
This Epstein thing has his malignant narcissism dialed up to 10.

I also don't think you can talk about Republican complicity without talking about Dennis Hastert, who is never ever discussed anymore, but he was the speaker of the House, and he was a pedophile.

Nothing better underscores that Dems have no values or beliefs than the fact that they called every issue except ACA subsidies a distraction and then proceeded to fully capitulate on ACA subsidies

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Sometimes you just have to throw the whole thing away and make a new one
I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate
read the actual bill text and this is quite literally a provision designed solely to impede civil and criminal investigations into United States Senators and their staff. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Is there any other city besides Chicago where the city government calls a memorandum a "To From"? It's not a nickname, it's the official name!
the policy includes how an infiltrator is approved by the department, how long an infiltrator or undercover methods can be used against us and how it can be extended
there are a lot of unvetted chats out there, be safe

Just check the menu board at a couple different hospitals and see which one is cheapest.
I used to visit a hospital for work that actually had an old letter board in the ER waiting room with the prices for various standard procedures listed. Yes, it was a poor neighborhood. This was like 2006-ish.
