Weather report from hell
Chicago may experience less tear gas use as Operation Midway Blitz winds down. Cold and wet weather reduce effectiveness, while wind adds unpredictability.

I have lost count of the number of times that Ellis has said the Trump administration's arguments "lack credibility."

This is my old neighborhood. I’m proud of my old neighbors for doing what they can. Keep it up. We cannot stop. Thank for the inspiration.
(from the inbox) Less than an hour later this morning, just before 10:30 at Roscoe and Harding, feds again released gas as they were driving away, unobstructed, from a relatively small number of neighbors.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

‘I moved on her like a b*tch.’ —Trump on a woman he was going to pressure into sex, constitutional democracy, and home renovation.
Soooo...he lied.
The White House is demolishing the entirety of the East Wing to make way for President Trump’s $200 million ballroom, a construction project that is far more extensive than he initially let on, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.

I agree - not a shit post. Showing a reminder that 75 million people did not vote for this with millions coming out is important.
Next steps are also important. And they will likely be unpleasant. There won’t be change without discomfort.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

old enough to remember when these same people made a WHOLE HUGE THING about government censoring social media
At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request
The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

This one is a current event. Kimmel’s firing represents both the suppression of opposing voices and the exertion of control over the media. And it isn’t just there: demands that people be fired for speaking in a way not in accord with the official party line are the same. #resistance
