I don't recall much of the plot actually, but the scene with Renne Russo and Pierce Brosnan on the staircase is still seered into my memory.

Dear funding agencies,

I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development.

Sincerely,
Looking for basic research grants.

Frankly it is especially hard to watch it when you are local and see the videos and know exactly the street corners where this is happening. These are our neighbors! The one where the WGN journalist was pinned on the ground was 3 blocks from my daughter's apt. It's depressing and surreal, but real

Right, if he feels like too much money is going to immigrants getting treatment in the ER then as Speaker, he should advocate to change the EMTALA law that enforces that, the law we still have as a barely decent society. Instead he is massively increasing EVERYONE's insurance costs.

I'm late GenX progressive and I sent a funny video to my daughter this week about a choir of old ladies dissing #47 in song, and she scolded me, "Mom, that's AI !!" 🙄. I'm sure it won't be the last time. Embarrassed I didn't catch it and I like to imagine I'm savvy about this stuff but I guess not.

I listened to the his statement on the video. actshually.... Clinton did majorly cut the military bases in the '90's and the republicans had a conniption about that. I recall even a budget surplus from 1998-2001. 🤨🤔

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

I gotta say: the papacy of a Chicagoan with the cultural competency to comment firmly, yet carefully, on U.S. events has been a hell of a plot twist.

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.

Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.

I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

thank you for sharing this. Bwah my liberal tears are flowing here in Skokie a mile away from Chicago and I don't fucking care who knows. We have a heart... its strong but still heartbroken by what has happened and what still may come.

Chicago may be the city that breaks Donald Trump. We’re at least trying our best.

I saw this on FB. Maybe not Carl Sandburg, but beautiful in its own way & for its own time.

sorry not sorry this is so dark. But not outside the realm of possibility. They would probably stop enforcing EMTALA if there was an executive order about it. Then all those faith based hospitals would sure be in a pickle. www.cms.gov/medicare/reg...

For Medicare hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals (CAH): Learn about EMTALA and find CMS interpretive guidelines.

while pro-life, for fetuses at least, ... M@G@ will stop enforcing EMTALA but then force unwanted ultraound or pregnancy tests on ALL women the ER. That way they can 'death panel'in-advance which human incubators get treated/monitored/live, while others with no fetuses or legit ID will just die.
