Y’all posted too much and got too weird about the Travis Kelce dick song that now I’ve decided it’s a banger. Get that D, girl. Good for you. Congrats on the hog, brother.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

ICE just gassed a group a civilians near the Rico Fresh supermarket intersection on Armitage in Chicago - bystanders say this was in response for being heckled from the street.

really seems like @govpritzker.illinois.gov is talking out of both sides of his mouth. either step in or stop pretending.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 5d

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human

“Not everyone is happy about this gorgeous innovation,” writes Tyler Cowen.

At CVS to get my COVID/FLU shots and the pharmacist asked two people in front of me if they’d like their COVID/FLU shots today and both scoffed and said no indignantly. People are just so broken, man.
