I love living in Chicago. I love my job. I love my apartment. I love my cat. I love ORD. I love my boyfriend. I love the L. I love pizza. I love my life. Not in any order. I never thought I would be so happy, let alone so happy to turn 30 :) grateful for this little life I’ve worked so hard to build

So moved and enraged by the replies to this and was thinking... maybe we should collect them and send them to Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Senate cowards.
Form here, won't collect emails unless you provide them.

No, no, no, by bailing Trump out, Senate Democrats won the major victory of a pinky promise to hold a meaningless vote on the ACA subsidies which -- hang on now, this is the good part -- will *shame* Republicans when they vote against it.
Wait, Dick Durbin has some charts that'll blow you away.

This is why ousting Schumer isn't enough. Democratic senators don't pressure each other much, they have weak leadership by design, and they want to preserve arcane Senate rules that let them hide behind process.
Without primaries or massive outside pressure, this is where they'll be.

“There’s no real appetite to oust Schumer, though. Nor is there any interest from another Democrat to challenge him, according to interviews with more than a dozen Democratic senators.” @punchbowlnews.bsky.social
Oh Sen Dems are not in disarray - they are in array - in their collective cowardice.

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture--
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy

I suspect that the revolt of the bosses element of all this really is explained by: a bunch of upper echelon Americans really didn't like the cultural and workplace changes induced by Woke era, some portion of them were pushed into internet insanity, but most just wanted a shift slightly right....

A person I interviewed for this story told me her 8th grader recently read Night by Elie Wiesel in school and observed “it’s sort of like what’s happening here right now” in case you’re wondering how things are going for Chicago’s kids.
On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.
ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago for Halloween—and Parents Are Fighting Back
Fear and a whiff of tear gas hang over festivities this year. In response, even people who aren’t usually politically engaged are mobilizing.

Chicago street vendors are being targeted by ICE & Border Patrol agents. As a result, many are staying home and not able to work. Preorder and $8 per shirt will go towards the Street Vendors Association of Chicago who offer financial assistance to vendors who stay home.

I think sports would be a lot more fun if they toned down the heterosexuality a bit. What’s more fun than dressing up in coordinated colors with cute little logos? Maybe they could do competing dance routines or sing at halftime?
