And you, governor, should stop providing state cops to police protesters for ICE at Broadview.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 7h

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Alec Baldwin crashed his Range Rover into a tree in the Hamptons today.

He was in the vehicle with Stephen Baldwin. Both survived but...Alec is a little too dangerous for my liking

The thing about “city cops are wary of mayoral candidate” stories is those cops don’t live or vote there so you don’t have to care what they think.

Remember we're already in a world of Kavanaugh stops based solely on ethnicity. If you are from a targeted group, this can happen to you no matter what your citizenship status is. What if you forget your wallet at home? You could end up in detention for days or worse.

Do you want to live in a "papers, please" country?

Arby's is being sued for false advertising

Lawsuit alleges:

• Ads make the sandwiches appear to have 'at least 100% more meat' than they really do

• Made the meat look like rare roast beef when it is actually 'fully cooked'

Arby's lost its motion to dismiss the case

cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug @hnysuklchocolat.blacksky.app · 16d

y'all know i'm always studying the old folks & as my stability has crumbled, i think more abt boarding houses, multi-gen homes & shared housing.

it used to be the norm & needs to return asap

but all i keep hearing in my head are my "ion want people in my house..." friends

how do we survive this?
