Chicago, Blackhawks and White Sox. Shakespeare and opera, NYT crossword puzzles, and things that are inappropriately funny. I'm the cool aunt.

@PaceSuburbanBus @vilniles Come get free bus 2601 off the roads. It's smoking like a tire fire.

@SilenceInPolish My sister was bringing her new husband, an American lad, to Wigilia for the first time. For months, I kept telling him it would be all herrings. 😁

The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.

Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.

No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.

That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.

You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.

But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.

The next time someone tells you America isn’t racist or sexist, just remind them they are willing to accept treason, rape and violence from a white president but not joy and accomplishments from a Black one.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

United States gender reveal tomorrow, I hope it’s a girl 🩷🤣

This thread articulates how I feel about DJT and the people I know who would vote for him.

@ByScottPowers Normally, it's great watching with my digital antenna. Unless there's a strong wind. Tonight's is extra-disruptive.

[Death Star PR @DeathStarPR]

It is rude (and extremely wrong) of the Rebellion to call the Emperor a fascist JUST because he says and does fascist things and is, in fact, a fascist.
When will they turn down this hateful, 100% correct, rhetoric??!

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Netanyahu is committing human rights abuses over and over again—bombing hospitals, burning Palestinians alive, blocking food aid, and killing aid workers.

This evil genocide must end and President Biden has to stop enabling it. That starts with cutting off military aid.

Hey, how do we get the black currant flavor of these in the US? Please and thank you.

[Alfie Boe OBE @AlfieBoe]

Thank you so much to @Fishermans_UK for the gift! These have been very much needed to keep me going during this run of @lesmisofficial ❤️

#ChicagoBears in London:
Pro: game is over by 11am and I've got the whole day ahead of me.
Con: play-by-play guys don't have British accents.

[KasiaCh @KasiaCh]

Blackhawks game was enjoyable for a long while tonight. And then, it wasn't. Disappointing finish, but I'm more optimistic about the team than I've been in a while.

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

Whether it's Biden sending COVID tests to American families or Trump sending COVID tests to Vladimir Putin, both presidents tried to help the people they care about the most.

@sewistwrites And we don't pour over books.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

The secret to getting kids reading is the same thing that worked in the nineties. Reading Rainbow. Free pizzas. Shakespeare rom-coms. A million Jane Austen adaptations. Movies where a guy gifts his beloved an enormous library. Dog who acts out the classics.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: Lies do not suddenly become truths because, instead of shouting them out with orange makeup and a wig, you serve them up with a smile, eyeliner and a hipster beard.
