Let's go where? Germany in the 40s? To more black and brown funerals when the police get their license to kill fully reinstated? To arrest the women trying to not die from miscarriages? To round up his enemies and political opponents? Where exactly are you trying to go?

Today it’s an anti-racist flag: Division Street gateway, an official Chicago landmark and a celebration, in steel, of the city’s Puerto Rican community.
I love that @GovPritzker goes all in for Halloween.

When they said, “democracy dies in darkness,” I didn’t expect them to be the darkness

Just because Donald Trump acts goofy doesn’t mean his presidency wouldn’t be dangerous. And you don’t have to take my word for it. Lately, some of the people who know Trump the best have been saying in no uncertain terms that he should not be president again.
For bodily autonomy, for preserving democracy, for making history, for championing gun sense legislation, and so much more, I proudly cast my vote today for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz.

Lotta bloody nips.
Stay tuned for more obvious #chicagomarathon coverage.
Hello @ChiMarathon runners! You will do extraordinary things tomorrow. I’ll be at mile marker 11 (North & Wells) with my go-to marathon mantra: when the legs give up, run with heart.

In a perfect world, this sign would have reference to @theofficetv and a race for rabies awareness including fettuccine Alfredo, a lamp bought at an estate sale, Toby’s PR, and Andy Bernard’s chafed nips. #ChicagoMarathon
