NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Cities of the Red Night, which turned out to be prophecy and validates the premise...really the entirety...of WSB's somewhat impenetrable cut-up phase. So weird to realize now it was written in relatively close proximity to when I first read it. Seems ancient and utterly futuristic at the same time
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Finally I have one thing in common with our big boy--while on tour and in sleep-deprived confusion, I thought the Mag Mile was called the "Miracle Mile" just long enough to come up with the chorus for a song. Real name doesn't scan well, kept the misnomer, rest is "history." Shopping center tho wtf

As a kid, I went to every Montana Grizzlies men's b-ball home game. Saw Micheal Ray play a few dozen times as a result. Spectacular. Translated to the NBA perfectly, as far as it went. My bro and I met him once. He was a god to us, now a vivid memory from a time in life w/o many of them. REQUIESCAT

After @mandophotos.bsky.social photographed federal agents pointing rifles at 26th/Lawndale yesterday, I inquired with DHS about what threat had prompted them to pull weapons on a busy commercial strip (pictured). This is the response I got from a representative of the United States government.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

It’s the normal awesome place only with a few hundred violent shitheels running around fucking everything up. We need immigration enforcement here like we need an EF5 to hit downtown
People outside of Chicagoland do not have any idea what is happening in Chicagoland. One or two stories may breach contain, but most of what folks are seeing is this propaganda.
