This is the work of photojournalist Anthony Vazquez of
@chicago.suntimes.com. He risked life and limb today to get these incredible photographs. His name needs to be on these. And the Sun-Times too.

the built environment.

so much to undo.

Feel like in light of ... everything ... right now, probably worth it to re-up this. Constant dooming is counter-productive, and the occasional burst of something uplifting can be essential.

but also, people should be shaming the heck out of janet mills and every other gerontocrat with a (literal) death grip on the positions of power in this country.

we need a @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social @amandalitman.bsky.social collab to shame these elders til they pass the effing torches.

i feel like beating cuomo in the primary made zohran so much stronger in the general. let them duke it out!

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

Do you like Zohran's goals of universal childcare + free buses? That means you want New York State to tax the rich.

It also means you disagree with Governor Kathy Hochul, who's telling state agencies to reduce services.

Hochul is facing a primary next year; let us make #TaxTheRich the main issue.

This is nightmarish and every Dem politician, every media figure who is silent is complicit. This is not supposed to happen here. Masked thugs with guns dragging moms away in front of their screaming children. Trump’s government must be destroyed and his accomplices must rot in prison

Yessssss this and lots more of it

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

it's like if @equalityalec.bsky.social did a comedy special collab with @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

The essence of Bari Weiss: not reporting, but crude partisan propaganda presented in the form of reporting—and usually pronounced from the mouths of anonymous sources which likely don't exist. Expect this sort of prolefeed at CBS News soon.

let gaza live

I’m not a political strategist or a social psychologist, but to me this seems true and important. Values must be activated. Surviving a real crisis takes real leadership.

“I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS” is the greatest clickbait book title ever (it’s not about what you think, although the history is highly relevant)

listening to dolly all morning anyway just to be save and keep the positive energy flowing

There is a GoFundMe from the Chicago Street Vendors Association to help people who can't safely work because of ICE raids: www.gofundme.com/f/chicago-st...

in the Bible it says to help people only if they have papers and a Cigna plan

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.
