Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers, stepfathers, uncles, godfathers, grandfathers, and friends who raise us with pride, joy, and endless laughter. And to Dougie, my best friend and a wonderful dad: Thank you for everything you do for our family. We love you.

#NoKings

Seen (heard) today during the "No Kings" protest march in Chicago: people inside the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago tapping along as marchers pass by outside. The tapping is loud enough that it can be heard above the protestors' cheers and chants.

UPDATE: An estimated 75,000 people marched in Chicago's 'No Kings' protest, organizers said. blockclubchicago.org/2025/06/14/c...

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

No car noise, just people 😀

Chicago #NoKings

It is … asinine to discuss protestors knocking over a trash can, or spraying graffiti on a cop car, when the federal government is trying to take away Medicare from millions of people, deporting people to overseas prisons, tackling U.S. senators, and kidnapping people at immigration court hearings.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

From my pal, @ericjedelstein.bsky.social reporting from Glendale. #NoKings

women. has anyone considered that

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

Surreal to hear a “No Kings” chant reverberate through the concrete canyons of #Chicago

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Almost got smoked crossing Fullerton at Stockton. SUV rushing to make a right onto EB Fullerton before the red light. Happy Saturday!

Big improvement. Also, some long overdue tree trimming.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Volunteering at PAWS has done wonders for my mental health. It's the best part of my week. Animals are absolutely amazing ❤️

Ban AI.

Apparently this happened on the BNSF line, just before the Outbound Afternoon Rush mind you!

Big SUV creeping towards the crosswalk while we legally cross. Me: stop moving! Them: take it easy, bud Me: no, fuck you I've had enough of cars

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Managing the Champs Sports at Northbrook Court in early 2000s. All of a sudden, Lil Bow Wow walked into my store. He walked in and just stood there. One of my associates was losing her shit. He stood there for a couple mins and left. I still think about how awkward and weird he was.

It’s easy to come off as a radical when you warn people that a racist, sexist, Christofascist movement is pushing for a dictatorship. But the real radicals are the racists, sexists and Christofascists who are pushing for a dictatorship. We’re only describing what’s in front of our eyes.

Not sure what happened to @chicagotribune.com, but it is turned into...

My family owes everything to America's acceptance of a refugee named Nicholas Pritzker on its shores over a century ago. My story, however, is not unique — our state and nation have been strengthened by people from across the globe seeking freedom, opportunity, and refuge here.

I didn't come to Congress to be a part of a political circus that attacks the LGBTQ+ community or free speech. I came to defend our state from MAGA Republicans agenda.
