It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

Evita also founded a publication called “The Thinker.” I am 100% serious.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's daughter Evita wrote an angry X screed declaring that TSA airport scanners emit radiation—an easily disproven error that makes her the frontrunner to succeed her father in the Trump Administration.

Homeland Security is trying to save Chicago from the scourge of tamale vendors and Uber drivers. These folks are not the "worst of the worst." Far from it. They help make our city work. If Trump's thugs wanted to rid Chicago of the worst of the worst, they'd put Greg Bovino on a plane out of town.

Northwestern University's law school is named after the Pritzkers. @jbpritzker.bsky.social you going to do anything about this?
Among the provisions are ones agreeing to the Trump administration's definition of sex as "biological sex" and agreeing "not perform hormonal interventions and transgender surgeries ... on any individual under the age of 18 years old, effective immediately."

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

More updates TK.

Please do submit a comment if you live in Illinois. This is a practice that causes active harm to inmates, separates them even more from external support systems, and even makes it harder for U.S. attorneys to communicate with incarcerated clients
NEW — Illinois residents can submit comments to state leaders by Nov. 24 to oppose mail scanning, which allows prison officials to scan physical mail and reproduce it into digital copies.

Criminal justice advocates say the practice doesn’t make prisons safer.

The problem with reading deeply disturbing and fucked up books is that a lot of them also end up being moving in ways you don’t expect

But then you finish them and feel weird about recommending them to other people

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

In Sept, @homelandgov.bsky.social raided a Chicago complex and took dozens of immigrants — under the cover of darkness.

Officials called it a victory against terrorism.

The opposition to so-called “Operation Midway Blitz” is not the first time Chicagoans have stood up against our neighbors being snatched off the street by outsiders. Jeff Nichols takes a look back at how Chicago residents resisted abductions of Black Chicagoans after the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

“Abolish ice” at this point is the conservative position.

Everyone involved in the administration at any level is going to have to be tried for crimes against humanity and dealt with accordingly.

This isn’t going away with elections and we certainly cannot “come together” after this.

By the way, I turned on “rude” content a while back, but when I checked today it was hidden by default.

Check your settings to make sure you aren’t being treated like a child 🤡
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

“Strays into a pepper ball”

He had more to say Friday to @cbsnews.com:
"If someone strays into a pepper ball, then that’s on them. Don’t protest and don’t trespass.”

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.
