libraries are good
The library? Yes, the library is hosting a series for Chicagoans to learn about Puerto Rican history ahead of Bad Bunny’s historical Super Bowl halftime show performance this weekend.
Bad Bunny's hottest local Super Bowl pregame is at the Chicago Public Library

The thing that makes Fallon so annoying is that he’s so close to being funny, but he always trips at third base and he’s treated like he hit a home run.

Medium talent, that man; medium talent.

Naah, I want them on trial.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...
ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.

If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

The American people want simple, common sense ICE reforms: every agent must be followed by their own personal Pyramid Head, physical manifestation of their mortal sins, to act as both torturer and confessor. Only through suffering may they be cleansed

Honored to earn the endorsement of the 504 Dems and to share their support for my campaign first because far too often, disability justice is treated as optional and as an afterthought.

1 in 4 adults in the U.S. has a disability, and our city must be built for all of us.
