Today i ran into the other woman who fell & she is OK, still protesting too. Btw I guess cops think they’re gonna spend so much time on this roof, on a MUCH bigger building rumored to be new ICE facility possibly, that they bought a tent. It blew away halfway through the morning.

A tent on top of a building next to the ice facility in Broadview Illinois. There are cops in the foreground and next to the tent on the roof.

Every one of these videos is chilling. I am struck by how people have to throw their phones, names, anything they can toward strangers in hopes of notifying their family and employers. Public safety is what we do for each other and it never comes from cops.

"telling on themselves"

Undead in Chicago @mosermostly.bsky.social · 5h

Exactly this. It's why they think virtue signaling is some kind of a gotcha. Yeah man, I try to demonstrate my values through my words and actions, you figured out the secret!

The paid-protestor myth is big among conservative honks because none of them can fathom the idea that people would want better things for their communities and neighbors out of the goodness of their hearts.

Similar weird feelings of relief a few weeks ago when I remembered Jim Edgar had died and *that* was why so many flags were at half mast

Rules for us, not for them. You can tell the real lawyers quit because now they just say it out loud.

Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · 1d

Perry: How do you respond to the plaintiffs' contention that any unrest, any violence is the fault of how federal agents are interacting with members of the public? Does it matter if their conduct is why they can't execute federal laws?
Hamilton: No.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

If these results hold (& I mean multiple cohorts, controls, peer-review, &c), then *all* the self-reported gains in workflow productivity/efficiency are *At Least* questionable…

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.
