I hate us.
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
There was a single athlete set to represent Iran in the #Paralympics, but he couldn't get there because of the war.
There are a lot of things I love about the Paralympics, but the artistry of the opening and closing ceremonies, which always includes people of varying disabilities, is always top notch and incredibly moving.
kevinrkirk 2d @ Threads Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like l'm 5. (Drawing of chopping of part of land) suahuatica 2d MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.
Happy Friday. Donβt skip school.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon
At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me
I'm happy that there continues you to be lots of sports to distract me from the horrors. Tonight World Baseball Classic. Tomorrow Paralympics.
Our government is currently blockading Cuba, causing incredible harm to the people there, which is, in itself, an act of war. But sure, let's joke about bombing them.
βanger is real, and so is resolveβ goes pretty damn hard
Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work
It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.

Heβll be replaced by the Oklahoma governor.
Iβll always remember when Markwayne Mullin tried to start a fight with the head of the Teamsters in the middle of a Senate hearing, causing Bernie Sanders to yell at him: βSit down! Youβre a United States Senator!β
The new head of the Department of Homeland Security, everyone.
(He also previously confused Ayatollah Khomeini with Ayatollah Khamenei, so he has his finger on the pulse. Weβre clearly in good hands.)
Bad Bunny with all of the flags of the americas and a football in his hand at the Super Bowl halftime show.
The true Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas.
More importantly the only Senator who fingers nostrils as a hobby
I've got laryngitis so I'm not on TV today. but if I was, I'd remind everybody that mass deportation *remains* family separation, whether Noem or Mullin or anyone else is Trump's DHS Secretary. and that policy has not changed.
If your staff doesn't pull you off the stage in this moment, it's probably because they hate you.
By BEN LEFEBVRE 03/05/2026 05:00 AM EST f β’ β’ β’ President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is telling his advisers to bring ideas to the Oval Office to lower gasoline prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran, according to two energy industry executives familiar with the conversations. The White House is "looking under every rock for ideas on improving energy prices, especially gasoline prices," said one of the executives, who was granted anonymity to describe internal administration discussions.
I have an idea. Hereβs my idea: We should have had this meeting last week before we started bombing Iran. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Phantom definitely missed Boston in this game more than they did in the semifinals. She could've made a big difference. #Unrivaled
Oy...that's not the way to end things. #Unrivaled
This is not a strong third for Phantom. They better clean it up if they want to get back in it. #Unrivaled
I'm mad that Mist haven't been using Li at all tonight or on Monday. #Unrivaled
I'm missing that intense block action we got from Breeze the other night. #Unrivaled
Not me getting both Andraya Carter and Renee Montgomery during #Unrivaled tonight? Swoon!
Liberty on Liberty crime to go into the half. This is gonna be a game. #Unrivaled
Once Plum left the floor, Phantom couldn't buy a basket so I hope she enjoyed that couple of minutes. #Unrivaled
