Look up at the skylight from the lobby of the Bloomingdale’s Building in Chicago and you’ll see Georgia O’Keefe’s Sky Above Clouds IV smiling upon you…One can’t help but to smile back…

Congrats to Rep. Adelita Grijalva on finally being sworn in!

Grateful to have her join our caucus, to champion environmental justice, and push for transparency as the 218th signature on the discharge petition for the Epstein files.

Death by Lightning is entertaining as hell. Good beards, too. Hard to believe we would live to see a bio pic on James Garfield and Chester A. Arthur…

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Had the pleasure of seeing the amazing/colossal/stupendous/mesmerizing/extraordinary Joshua Jay for his last night of magically magical magic at The Rhapsody Theater in Rogers Park…If he comes to your town, see him before he vanishes…literally.

The owners of Mario’s Italian Lemonade in Little Italy haven’t figured out that summer isn’t a season anymore. It’s a symptom…as a nearly 90-degree October day in Chicago is making eminently clear.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Film critics used to win Pulitzers for newspapers.

Now they’re force-reduction targets…

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Robert Redford’s talent could seem invisible until the right conditions made it heroically apparent. K. Austin Collins on the how the late actor snuck into our lives and onto our screens with understated grace:

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Roman Polanski’s exposition of the Dreyfus Affair—and the deep seated anti-Semitism that created it—was all set for its American release but the #MeToo movement killed it…Now, after six years, the folks at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social believe the film’s time has come…
