Is this a "HELLHOLE"???
A beautiful September Chicago Southside CriticalMass bicycle ride on Friday. #Chicago
Courting 'moderate Republcans' went so well for Kamala.

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

holy shit a guy who was born in Uganda listed himself as African American on an old college application this is certainly bigger news than the concentration camp in Florida
You know, when I heard that all of our personal data had been hacked, I didn't expect the first major use of it to be the NYT trying to fuck over Zohran but maybe I'm naive www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/n...

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Car crashes have killed or seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year, but only one of these things is treated as a public safety crisis.

When Lyft or Uber asks you to contact elected officials to "keep rideshare affordable" remember that they profit from undermining public transit and increasing congestion. Use them where necessary, but don't let them use you.
closer to what happened to the fascists in Britain. They had them too, people just stood up to them.

a bit of a misleading title (Hilarious). I'm reminded of my own family: my mom's Irish parents came here a century ago, had four kids, three of whom started successful businesses.

which, let's remember, is millenial. He has a long career of fuckery ahead of him.
I call him the Roy Cohn of his generation
The Ghost Knife of Callisto recognized you?
so... is current generative AI the opposite of the Singularity? As in, producing middle-of-the-road, conventional content instead of revolutionary world changing stuff? Maximizing predictability instead of destroying it?
Idiocracy with more performative cruelty. Idiocracy combined with the Hunger Games. Infuriating
I think it's mostly just knowing and asserting your rights and standing up for yourself. Asking to see a warrant signed by a judge. Not an administrative warrant. Not opening a door. That kind of thing. It's like an index card.
That's what it looks like from my perspective anyway.
We do vet folks we organize with, people who are solid, trustworthy, discreet, but we have a pretty good community of folks who know each other. So it's not that hard.
The biggest one is having know your rights training. Having printed cards to hand out in all the languages, having events where people can come to learn, just getting that knowledge out there.

Also, it's your neighbors, not some people from elsewhere. It's the community working together
I'm so proud of the people here in Chicago responding the migra bullshit. They're organized, they're smart, and they're effective. I love it
