Love this new shirt from @harebrained.bsky.social

Man in glasses and a beard wearing a yellow shirt with the Empire ad and the text reading (800) 588-STFU about Chicago.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I literally ordered this shirt from @harebrained.bsky.social 2 days ago.

I lost some weight and need new clothes but so far about 75% of my purchases in shirts have been from them and @raygundraygun.bsky.social.

I regret nothing.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

I heard that Trump was going to get his image on some US Currency and I’d like to propose an alternative.

Deputize citizens to document and photograph any time ICE has a parking infraction.

According to my STFU About Chicago calendar, the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire is this Wednesday! Never forget the day that the city burned down with one of these Chicago’s Lit prints and mugs!

I don't want to hear another Trumper ever speak about "states rights" or "small government". This is tyranny.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Tonight of all nights I’m going to re-up my benediction for Chicago.

We are everything.

dansinker.com/posts/202…

No matter what happens in the coming weeks, we are Chicago. We rose from the ashes. We never quit.&10;&10;We are the lake in the morning, the sun rising over the water, its reflection drawing a line straight to our shores.&10;&10;We are the Haymarket Martyrs, the Pullman strikers, always demanding better than what we've got.&10;&10;We are the words of Sandburg and Algren and Brooks and Wright.&10;&10;We are the 90s Bulls, making the impossible possible.&10;&10;We are the dipped Italian Beef. Messy, sure, but incredible.&10;&10;We are the humidity in the summer, the frostbitten cheeks in the winter.&10;&10;We are smoke-kissed rib tips.&10;&10;We are elotes on the street. We are pierogis in a pot.&10;&10;We are Curtis singing Hush now child.

I don’t give a shit about celebrities but I was pretty pumped to meet Geoffrey Baer on a @wttw.bsky.social train tour. My son was less pumped.

Businesses in predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods right now are struggling as customers are staying home to avoid the ICE invasion. If you can, hit up the shops and restaurants in the affected neighborhoods.

That being said, does anyone have any leads on where I could buy an ICE agent piñata?
