A pop-up exhibit at the Chicago History Museum asked visitors to share something from their community that they wish others could experience. THIS is Chicago as Chicagoans experience it. Hint: it’s not what Trump would like you to think.

Tremendous self-restraint in only adopting two. Congrats!

So so glad he is our governor right now.

The whole day really - by the time you finish your appointment it will be after noon so might as well call it a day.

This is exactly what would give me peace in my last days, knowing it’s all going to be ok because you’ve got this. Perfect.

I think we can look at their attacks on abortion for that answer.

Which shows you are smarter than at least 1/3 of Americans. Seriously, if they thought he was coming for them next, they wouldn’t still be supporting him.

Because they don’t think they’re giving up their freedoms; they’re only taking away the freedoms of others.

Love that it’s not ok to have an abortion but fine to let them die after they’re born.

I don’t think he’s being sidelined; he had already said he would be stepping down in April. Plus he won’t really be gone, just hidden from public view.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
I fear the public will lose enthusiasm because he’s gone. Like no, we cannot stop until we crush him.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
I think he will “step down” because Tesla stock is taking a beating but he will still be telling Trump what to do. And he will have finished destroying every government program and agency so his main job is done.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
You mean not only did he DO it, he did it without having to ask a woman where the stain remover was? Fascinating.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly.

Not to mention how much it costs to get a passport.

Based on the number of cars that drive on the lakefront trail, I’d say you’re right.

An aunt or a friend could bring you food, cook, come over and take charge so you can rest or get out for a walk, or just come over and be an extra person to take some of the pressure off (if they’re the right kind of aunt or friend; some people make more work!). Put your own oxygen mask on first!
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh no, I’m so sorry! Life sucks sometimes and you’ve had more than your fair share lately.

Any democrat associated with neoliberal policies needs to sit down and shut up now.

Thank you for recapping this!

Gotta keep the electorate dumb.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
“…if there is one lesson other than the fact that the electorate is dumb that I pound into you every week…”. This made me LOL. Also I am one of those Dems who is pissed as hell with the Dems in my blue state.

Please run for Durbin’s seat the next time he’s up for election. He needs to go. We need someone with balls, like you.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
He went from “dork” to “very cool guy” when he put out the video about the story of fascism in Europe. Also after I found out he’s pro-marijuana legalization. 👍👍

David Kessler’s “Finding Meaning, the Sixth Stage of Grief”. You can just get the workbook and watch the videos on his website if you don’t want to read the book. Really really good.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
Such a great documentary. I was struck by how he refused to compromise on what was right and got it done. Such a contrast to today.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok but it’s not going to be pretty.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
He looks like he’s waiting for suggestions from the audience. “Anybody have any thoughts? Anyone?”

Sean Casten is ON IT but haven’t heard much from the rest of them 🙄

So thankful you are our governor JB. Keep it up!

Also said this today: This is a 5 alarm f-ing fire. We work hard not to shut government down in Congress. Trump has decided he can do by fiat out of petulance and blind allegiance to the Project 2025 crowd. You either enable him or stand up to him in this moment. There is no other option.
Sock Collector (@sockcollector.bsky.social) reply parent
He’s on Bluesky and posted it here as well!

They’re issuing some strongly worded statements on social media 🙄

There was a post years ago that really stuck with me: “What would you do if there were no men on earth for 24 hours” or something along those lines. Answering that question really brought home how unsafe we feel in so many situations and left me with a sadness that we can’t be free of that fear.
