Breaking: The Chicago Sky and Los Angeles Sparks have agreed to a trade that'll send Rickea Jackson to the Sky and Ariel Atkins to the Sparks.

Transformational, landmark sports moment. Super excited for the season. Happy for these players, and all of the women who will benefit going forward.

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

Takes courage to stand up to fascists. Great to see Stewie, Haliburton and others using their platform to do so.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Make it viral.

This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.

Azzi, Olivia Miles or Flau’jae should still be available, and I would be super excited to add any of them. Would have been nice to move up, but I’m ok with #5. #wnba

They do not want the public to see how people were treated in there and the lawsuit I'm sure is only the tip of the iceberg of information of what people experienced in there.

Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Feds now claim a "system crash" that happened immediately after ICE was sued is the reason why 10 days of footage from inside the Broadview Detention Center has been lost. Unreal hearing on this earlier: www.404media.co/ice-says-cri...

Couple hundred people in the square between Damen and Lincoln for this. Lots of kids.

(from the inbox) Less than an hour later this morning, just before 10:30 at Roscoe and Harding, feds again released gas as they were driving away, unobstructed, from a relatively small number of neighbors.

On Sunday, Albany Park residents came out of their homes to link arms and shout down ICE agents attempting to abduct one of their neighbors. They were successful, even though in response, agents ran over one woman's foot and deployed tear gas. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/13/f...

Federal Agents Deploy Tear Gas In Albany Park as Neighbors Block Immigration Arrest

It is the latest use of chemical irritants deployed by agents in neighborhoods. The incident was also the latest example of increased neighbor resistance to immigration enforcement in Chicago.

From the white supremacist book the official DHS account is referencing: "The point is to reveal organized Jewry as a world power entrenched in every country of the White man’s world, operating freely across every nation’s frontiers, and engaged in a ruthless war for the destruction of them all."

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man? Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

I have no words. Everyone prepared for the constitutional crisis of the President defying the SCOTUS. The crisis is the SCOTUS being fully aligned with Trump’s vision of presidential power. So here we are.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25... From Sotomayor's dissent:

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget. It goes to the Oval Office next for Trump to sign. The bill cuts healthcare and food assistance to give the wealthy trillions in tax breaks. It adds $3.4 trillion to the debt. Never, ever forget what they just voted for.
