Small on the scale of corruption, but I can’t stop thinking about this story about the Pensacola ladies who have been sewing suits for the Blue Angels for over 40 years. Their contract was for 127k a year, which basically kept them in business.
On July 6, 2024, Sonya Massey was killed in her own home in Springfield, Illinois, a mother, a daughter, a friend, gone at 36. Today we honor and remember her. Rest in power, Sonya. We will never stop saying your name. 🕊️
I can’t be the only one wondering who takes depositions on a federal holiday. #thepitt

I will never ever understand people who close their window shade. Approaching O’Hare this afternoon.
"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.
ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
Halfway surprised these dickweeds didn't fire teargas at their own reflections. I hope the city checks to make sure none of them attempted to use bowie knifes to carve in their initials.

Seems to me like forcing a bar to turn off their TVs during Game 7 of the World Series would be antithetical to keeping things calm and peaceful but what do I know
Sean Beckner-Carmitchel@acatwithnews.bsky.social · 9mo agoLos Angeles, CA - LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.
Who do you serve? who do you protect?

Is it @rushmedical.bsky.social’s policy to allow ICE to kidnap patients/persons on their property without a judicial warrant?

Twice in this video, this loser does the sign of the cross wrong. Instead of forehead, heart, then both shoulders, he touches one shoulder and then his fucking tie. Of course least of what’s wrong with him, but can’t he try a little harder to pretend to be Catholic? www.instagram.com/reel/DQPqs_O...

Local Facebook groups in Chicago suburbs now: * Found a key * ICE kidnapped Lincoln School dad * Where do I get a whistle * Anyone have a good fascia/soffit repair guy * How do I stop literal fascism
I am never ever fucking EVER getting over these fuckers just driving around snatching our neighbors off the street.
What a big life Tony Fitzpatrick had. What a loss for Chicago. Our lives intertwined intensely for many of my and @shannonsparkle.bsky.social’s formative years, and I’m lucky for knowing him. Love to his family.
Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?
I can't even begin to articulate how seethingly angry I am rn

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.
