We're not supposed to invoke Hitler, since that somehow loses the argument, though there really isn't an argument anymore, just an increasingly fascist state. But imagine if regular Germans turned out in numbers with whistles and frog outfits when the Nazis started rounding up Jews. #ChicagoProud.

The cease fire began YESTERDAY. And Trump supporters are going on as if their orange enormity had just ended all wars for all time. Don't they realize how many cease fires there have been in this conflict? How many dashed hopes? Can they really be that dumb? Wait, the question answers itself...

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

Great title. And congrats on landing the University of Illinois Press. I ran something by them and they merely muttered "Not my table..." as they blew past.

Tremendous loss as Tony Fitzpatrick, a Chicago artist in many realms, has died at 66 www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/11/t...
Tony Fitzpatrick, a Chicago artist in many realms, has died at 66
He had recently published a new book, “The Sun at the End of the Road,” filled with his distinctive art, poetry and prose. Some consider it a memoir.

Remember, if you won a Nobel Peace Prize, and the president stops by for an unexpected visit, and asks to see it, don't show it to him. You won't get it back.
