Chicago is choosing justice over fear, as it has in the past

In 1850, the federal government deputized local officials to enforce slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, and it still is today.

Unlike Bad Bunny, Rupert Murdoch's a foreigner who didn't grow up in American territory, so I wouldn't expect his newspaper to know the difference.

God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

The Ricketts family used Wrigley Field to host a fundraiser for the regime that is currently terrorizing Chicago. To hell with those goddamned fascist traitors and their baseball team.

I am so sorry to learn this. A great Chicago artist.

Tremendous loss as Tony Fitzpatrick, a Chicago artist in many realms, has died at 66 www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/11/t...

Tony Fitzpatrick, a Chicago artist in many realms, has died at 66

He had recently published a new book, “The Sun at the End of the Road,” filled with his distinctive art, poetry and prose. Some consider it a memoir.

The MLB Transaction Bot has no compassion.

Hours after the Detroit Tigers' season ended, the MLB Transaction Bot lists the team activating several players as the organization prepares for the offseason.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

It's a shame Tim Elko never played Alaskan Summer League ball.

Remarkable how much ICE acts like felons.

Jim Daley @jimdaleywrites.bsky.social · 3d

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

None of Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr., and Vlad Guerrero Jr. had any love for the Yankees. All had fathers who were treated shabbily by George Steinbrenner.

Good editors are worth their weight in gold. I have great appreciation for them.

(I have also had an irresponsible editor or two. They make me appreciate the good ones even more.)

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

The Blue Jays have 8 home runs and 7 strikeouts so far this postseason

They’re the second team in postseason history with more home runs than strikeouts in their first two games of a single postseason, joining:

2005 White Sox, 6 homers & 4 strikeouts

Or Billy Joel. The only way Jann Wenner would be offended is giving such praise to a female artist.
