Amazing Emergency Naked Ride. Here’s the moment thousands of riders rolled through the protests at the ICE facility and cheers erupted. 😮💯

Pleasant day out in my neighborhood in Chicago. There was a farmer’s market and people are out strolling, chatting, and sitting out on porches. Just like every weekend.

Except now most of us are wearing whistles to alert neighbors if unidentified guys in tactical gear show up to kidnap people.

The national Dem brand has like a 20% approval rating, mamdani is the best we’ve got. Muting you now!

Oh mayors have long talked about Israel, since Sanders was elected on a snow plow agenda in Burlington in the 80s!

hmmm, I’ll have to agree to disagree on mamdani’s affordability platform, which reads as eminently practical to me: make the busses faster, and the housing and food cheaper, and create 15,000 union jobs through re-greening paved over public school yards 👍🏼

I’d recommend listening to the episode, which brings in a lot of context, interviews, and historical currents you might not know about or remember. I’ll be curious about your thoughts after you hear it

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

maybe listening to the episode will give you some good for thought on the comparison

I’ll be generous and blame the tragic absence of a west coast high speed rail line

I was thinking about that, especially rich given Obama said he moved to Chicago in part to work on the Washington campaign, meaning he also had a front row seat to the backlash before going on to experience the same thing on the national stage

@thisamericanlife.org had a similar thought & re-ran their excellent episode from 1997 about Chicago’s first Black mayor. extra compelling because many of the people contributing oral history to the episode have now passed

Wow what a unique sound she had
seachanger.bsky.social
honestly this first post was a masterpiece, which makes it extra gross that this other acct copied it word for word onto X without credit, where it went viral and made it onto FB etc as a viral screenshot

this is right up there with farming ai slop in my book. gross

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

Yeah this is what’s so insulting about their idea of “danger.” It’s “having to see the people you have failed”

Corey has worked hard to organize, plan and permit this food forest, so it’s only right he gets to lift the final chunk! Corey told me this is the biggest milestone completed so far toward expanding this site into the food hub he envisions for the neighborhood, w/mushroom logs, nuts, fruit, &veggies

as someone who ran an independent fishing business for the last 10 years this man is saying exactly what I was constantly thinking living in rural Alaska. the ACA ended up being a huge impediment to small biz creation by penalizing people for earning an independent income, basically wage theft
