It’s all manufactured bs by the regime
I prefer omni-potent fwiw
Don’t read those books— but boatswain or bosun, what is going on there
The word minuscule broke me as an adult lol. Foy-er or foy-ay, both acceptable. Can say the appetizer word but never gonna spell it
Grew up in the dark ages in Wisconsin & sometimes can’t pronounce a word I know the meaning of —only know the word from reading books
So good
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Logic & hope
Exactly like George Conway
George Conway!
You are no different than Vance. You have spent your entire life creating Trump, you supported Reagan & his racist homophobic terror, you supported the original torture president GWB, you just want to make money off innocent people’s misery. You have no moral authority.
I get it, also sick of the obvious glib reply. Bringing back the word glib: Given to or characterized by fluency of speech or writing that often suggests insincerity, superficiality, or a lack of concern. "criticized him for being glib about something so serious."
Just stop with this nonsense & repost @govpritzker.illinois.gov
Dude is evil, married to evil, made his money creating evil. Etcetera evil
But Conway absolutely🤮 🤮🤮
Chicago cops have been ignoring civil rights for decades centuries definitely right now btw
Sorry I meant to specify the non-wealthy elderly.
The elderly will go first, no one cares
The CPD is an absolute horror show. Much like the LAPD. But appreciate the mayor for trying. I live here fwiw
grateful to be in Chicago
Thank you gov
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Ah that would explain it. it’s so insignificant to you that it’s funny
Does no one on here actually shop for groceries irl? Prices have skyrocketed
Imagining the outcry if people making minimum wage were buying be$poke clothes, lol can’t win if you’re poor
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
Republicans are racist and they agree
It’s a (very short) matter of time before he imprisons political opponents. The supremes will yawn
Are there any (political) doves in existence?
All the money people thought they were exempt from whatever oath they took, was never supposed to get messy. Ooops, here we are
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Looking forward to suicide
Disney has always had a fascist racist aura, never understood the allure but chefs kiss perfect mascot for the soulless rich out to destroy the planet for fun
Boo hoo to the racist Caterpillar corporate slime who voted for the monster. No offense to actual caterpillars: the corporation that took your name seeks to destroy you & the rest of us for money
Anyone who ever once identified as a Republican in the last 50 years is a butt snorkler— especially you
Barely sentient, not unlike trump
The finance people lack any ethical compass except wanton corruption— so it’s a perfect fit
He must be removed
Elvis Costello in 1978 in Milwaukee
I'm not saying it would be easy/doable but I'm not sure there should be a bigger priority for Dems than to try and put RFK Jr out of a job.
I ate a bear and detect mitochondrial disease in the physiognomy of children at airports. I swim in shit and claimed the worm in my brain made me so incapacitated I couldn’t pay child support. I am in charge of your health
some guy off the street: "yeah this is pretty fucking bad" most of our green room pundits: "ah but you see, trump has an advantage on crime so democrats should be careful not to sound too opposed"
It is toxic brutality that takes an enormous psychic, monetary & environmental toll on citizens that aren’t wealthy
The pathetic little loser has to hide his right hand in shame
The WaPo is a sad & pathetic delusion
Basically to you it’s only in dangerous territory when it affects rich people, ignoring concentration camps being built here, people being sent to torture prisons in other countries, people beaten in the streets, cities occupied by the national guard & being trained to kill. The rich are the enemy
Yes. Msm has been high on their own egos for decades, lecturing about journalistic ethics & integrity to anyone who would listen. They write their earnest little books & hope for pulitzers & tv appearances. And at the first threat they immediately and totally surrendered. Whiny cowards.
Not an exaggeration to say that there are 2 kinds of Chicago cops: violent fascist thugs with no real accountability that abuse people for sport and the cops that cover up for them
They terrorize the city in ways too numerous to document
And this was in the gwb gay baiting years, good times, crackers for sure
The company was anti gay in the 90s-2000s—does no one remember this—so I have always avoided it
You are kind to have saved the turtle. I live across the alley from a “reptile dealer” (shivers) & it’s very depressing.
I stopped subscribing to the nyer after 30 years because David Remnick thought it was cute in 2017 to invite Steve Bannon to the NYer festival, so I can’t read the article, but obviously torching & poisoning the poor in the Bronx in the 70s was for real estate profit. Duh
It’s the only thing I can agree with the maggots on: the nyt is horrible
To take the train from O’Hare it’s $5, more than 2x regular fare. That seems crappy. But I would support a discount for stations with excessive pigeon filth. The Irving Park Blue Line stop, including the bus, should be free of charge.
Big surprise that the maga military weapon parade was even more destructive than usual. Ban it, we don’t need this military propaganda
are you telling me that we could have deployed blue state national guardsmen to fuck up red states at any time and we just never did
Genuinely love a few of these rooms, especially the kitchen.
100% agree. Even if someone explicitly asks for advice tread lightly
Thinking Tom is going to wax nostalgic for how Clarence Thomas was wronged by Anita Hill. Oh wait
Am depressed while I’m asleep. And while awake of course.
As they said in the olden times, hold my beer
As a DC resident I do feel that the city has been overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals" and I would like them to leave the White House and stop destroying the federal government.
Depraved.
Chance of rain was 0% an hour ago and now there’s a violent thunderstorm. Weather forecasting has been dismantled in the US
No, it’s an utter disaster
The NYT is nothing but Völkischer Beobachter, but with recipes.
But I am realizing that everyone on this thread is living in an alternate universe than the one I inhabit
It’s all overpriced bs. $20 for a crappy beer. Um, no
Lincoln is to Nebraska as Chicago is to Illinois.
As an old Midwestern lesbian I’m all for the death penalty when rich white men are routinely executed & I’m all for high heels when straight men are required to wear them to work, job irrelevant. Until then, nope
At least hulk croaked good riddance
Cops sat around for hours & basically yukked it up while children were murdered in Uvalde. Also at Pulse in Miami, same thing, waited hours & hours while people were murdered. No consequences. Absolute cowards
They are all sex offenders. Every single one
Not at all surprising
Could have sworn Jeffrey Toobin was dead. Oh well
And not so different from what is being perpetrated in Florida at the immigrant torture camp
Sharing this GIFT LINK so people can’t say they didn’t know what’s been happening in our name. wapo.st/3GZuXCW
My god
The ice hillbillies are winging torture for fun in a concentration camp
It’s because, as everyone with a rational mind knows, this particular president is fucked in the head. My problem with the newspapers is they never wrote *that* story and put it on the front page.
Had a visceral reaction. So many flashbacks, Rodney King, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, on & on
Genuinely surprising given that the GOP is comprised of sex offenders
I'd be a lot more interested in the current Epstein outrage if it weren't so clear that the now-women assaulted as ACTUAL GIRLS are being exploited again, this time as weapons in a struggle for power that has ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST in them or the sexual violence visited on girls & women every day.
Saw Rear Window for the first time in 1983 or 84 at the Fine Arts Theater in Chicago on the big screen with a packed house, what a movie
Dear Canada, thank you for hating Trump/ the US ❤️
It’s solely about making uber wealthy people wealthier and making everyone else as suffer as much as possible for their entertainment. There is nothing else.
I envy that
Seriously jfc
I try to avoid sun in large doses in summer, seek shade, cover up & last resort is sun screen. But obviously I prefer winter & the sun has always felt like an enemy, most people can’t relate
Unfortunately most of our “local law enforcement” in Chicago are essentially thugs, not discernibly different than ice, and like ice face no consequences for any crimes committed
It seems to me that an intruder who purports to be a federal agent but refuses to present a warrant, badge, or identification supporting that contention should be subject to arrest and detention by local law enforcement at the least.
Chicago cops are absolutely corrupt lying sexist racist sadistic domestic abusing psychopaths with zero relevant oversight. Thugs. Everyone who lives in this city knows this
the great mistake we made after WW2 was letting way way too many Nazi party members live.
“Being furious all the time is uncomfortable. It feels like wearing a too-small jacket, hot and tight against the skin. Being afraid all the time cramps the stomach. Being both makes legs, brain and heart hurt.”
Apparently capitalism requires that people be tortured. Jfc
I would guess it’s wealthy donors & racism, but I don’t know.
Yes it is an assault on academic freedom. Roth backing down bowing out because dictator says to —with no actual authority— then it’s time to figure out what is driving this kind of behavior & call it what it is.
Hard to not notice Democrats pointedly avoiding any mention of the massive expansion of ICE's budget in this bill
