As a "Chicagoan" and an "Illinoisan", I stand with Canada and adore my nearby more North and more Free neighbor. I hope Canada will beat-the-sh1t out of the US trade-wise.

Here's the Canadian flag at Chicago's O'hare Airport:

The thing about the Tru*p family in common with all mobster families and monarch families:

Their reign of terror doesn't last forever.

And they're *always* shocked when they're finally asked, "Cigarette or blindfold?"

Appeals court rejects Trump request to deploy National Guard in Chicago area

A federal appeals court on Saturday rejected the Trump administration's request to immediately allow the deployment of National Guard troops to Illinois, leaving in place a lower court's order that blocked the mobilization temporarily.

RIP Diane Keaton, 79

Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning film actress and quirky style icon, has died at age 79, as a family spokesperson confirmed the actress’ death in California with no other details provided. Keaton was born and raised in Los Angeles, never married, and adopted two children, a daughter Dexter and a son Duke, when in her 50s. She had dated Al Pacino, Warren Beatty, and her “Annie Hall” director Woody Allen, among others — and explained that it wouldn’t “have been a good idea for me to have married.”

NASA Astronomy Hourly Picture - 2006-12-15: NGC 1055 and M77
#Astronomy #NASA #Space

$Large spiral galaxy NGC 1055 (top left) joins spiral M77 in this lovely cosmic view toward the constellation Cetus. The narrowed, dusty appearance of edge-on spiral NGC 1055 contrasts nicely with the face-on view of M77's bright nucleus and spiral arms. Both over 100,000 light-years across, the pair are dominant members of a small galaxy group about 60 million light-years away. At that estimated distance, M77 is one of the most remote objects in Charles Messier's catalog and is separated from fellow island universe NGC 1055 by at least 500,000 light-years. The mosaicked field is about the size of the full Moon on the sky and includes colorful foreground Milky Way stars (with diffraction spikes) along with more distant background galaxies.$

More media should be covering this event as a counterpoint to Trump’s chaos narrative.

Nearly 2 million spectators are expected to line Chicago streets to watch the marathon on Sunday, providing a stark contrast to the Trump administration's negative messaging about the city.
