Come on, #Osaka! Keep this fierce play going! #wimbledon

I guess no one wants to play college ball based on the number of freshmen going in the first round #nbadraft

Anyone going to get Hurley off the basketball court? Happens every damn game. Push him back.

Hey Chicago! Don't forget to check your judges before you vote tomorrow with @injusticewatch.org 's handy guide! 2026primary.injusticewatch.org

In the midst of the political chaos of this week, I saw TJ from #southernhospitality on King Street today. Living in the US is so weird.

Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US gofund.me/140322128

So the #SOTU is going to be given to men’s hockey players and Epstein and Trump victims ?

A couple invited Bad Bunny to their wedding. He suggested they be part of his halftime show instead.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

BREAKING: The DOJ just DELETED a document in the Epstein Files that contained allegations made against Donald Trump. But we saved it. 👇

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after: They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.

Our community-run art gallery flooded. Building management will get the space back into habitable condition, but we lost a bunch of stuff and we're closed for who knows how long. We're a tiny volunteer org that spends like $20K a year, so a $3,000 emergency is a big problem. Please help us out:

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us. DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian. We would never ask for money.

Almost none of today’s stories about Trump trying to rename the #KennedyCenter have included the fact that only Congress can rename it. What’s the point of media if you don’t report this?

Breaking my no social media rule to tell you I have a new book! Pretty stoked about that. Okay. It’s been real. See you in another 2 years or whatever.

Chicago taxpayers will pay $15.4M to a man who spent 33 years in prison after being convicted of a 1987 double murder he didn’t commit. In all, taxpayers have spent $204.6M this year ALONE to resolve lawsuits filed by the wrongfully convicted. @wttw.bsky.social.

Still waiting for the Epstein files to be released…. But go ahead media, cover this instead…..

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

This Michigan fan does not claim Dave Portnoy

I will never forget this and never forgive her for this.

Quiet, Piggy.

Rescued this teddy from the sidewalk near Sheridan and Winona If you live in the area, share to help it find its owner

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

@durbin.senate.gov just ruined any positive legacy he planned to leave. How can the man elected by strong blue Chicago have been one of today’s sellouts? How embarrassing

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel. Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire. Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year. Glad everything worked out for them. How about you?

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Video of federal agents tear-gassing Irving Park this morning, obtained by Armando Sanchez. This is at least the sixth neighborhood federal agents have tear gassed while conducting immigration raids

It looks even worse by video 😢

#chifilmfest showing great movies for another 8 days!

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Here’s a block list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Feds on my block this afternoon, in suburban Chicago. 4-5 SUVs, helicopter overhead. They had CBP markings on their vests and claimed to be looking for an escaped “cartel member” but had time to stop and tell me I was supporting criminals by telling them to go fuck off. 1/

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

Fantastic signs and huuuuuge turnout in Chicago @handsoffchicago.bsky.social

This is my family’s cemetery. Generations of us are here. DHS thugs attacked the workers who laid my father to rest and tend to his gravesite. i dont know whether to cry or yell. I hope these DHS thugs find no peace in this life and the next.

We all know Antifa means “Anti-fascist,” right? What’s the problem?

So what happens when a hurricane hits Texas? Or Chicago winter hits? Will Texas #NationalGuard still be in #Chicago?

moments ago: pandemonium. a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random. leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders. multiple people detained. no clue how many.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.
