Every TikTok I see about Chicago, I post "Chicago is the greatest city in the world" and get a chorus of "hell yeah" replies. And you may ask yourself, why do people love Chicago so much?

It's simple. Chicago is the greatest city in the world.

If you want a taste of what you might expect during oral argument of the appeal, I recommend listening to the argument on Baez-Sanchez v. Barr. I promise it's worth your time even if you don't understand the legal commentary.

Yes on SCOTUS, but the TRO is temporary to allow briefing and prep for arguing a preliminary injunction. TROs are never meant to be permanent but it doesn't mean you can't have lasting relief for the duration of the case. Reason to stay deployment is to avoid cost of travel etc. Not a signal IMO.

Is there a such thing as lime limoncello, because that's what I would do with this if possible

It should have been a truer continuation of Legacy to really kill imo, but it does some really cool stuff with the world and sets up interesting potential future paths

I think the issue for Tron is marketing - just saw it and the trailers don't do a good job of telling the story or setting the stakes. Had a lot of fun

Fascists spent the last couple of decades consolidating power while creating an alternate reality to captivate their cult and neutralize opposition so they could move into the phase where they commit crimes against humanity. If you can't see that's what's happening I don't know what to tell you.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

The soundtrack was fucking insane, too, obviously. Makes me want to go watch the HBO Watchmen series again.

I really enjoyed Tron Ares and I don't think the trailers do it justice. Would have liked more focus on the digital side but it seems like another sequel might do that?

The greatest threat to public safety in our communities right now is ICE.

Recklessly driving and dragging women at gun point out of cars is not making anyone safer. They are putting all of us in harms way. ICE is a terror force. I am working to defund it.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Journalists play a critical role in protecting our democracy and uncovering the abuses of the Trump administration.

The attacks against the Chicago press are clear evidence that ICE is a terror force used for Trump’s authoritarian agenda.

Another win for our movement!

The Broadview community demanded that ICE take down the dangerous fence surrounding the Broadview Processing facility. A federal judge agreed and has ordered ICE to take it down.

ICE will be held accountable in Illinois. Our solidarity will continue to keep us safe.

Judge orders Tuesday removal of fence at Broadview ICE facility

U.S. District Judge LaShonda A. Hunt issued the temporary restraining order Thursday ordering the fence be taken down Tuesday.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

It kind of warms my heart seeing Sister Cindy doing the circuit and talking about buying girls margaritas knowing that Jed passed in 2022. She's not giving up (even though the kids these days are wise to her game)
