For those not in the know, "Michigan Avenue from Millennium Park toward the Wrigley Building" is the north side, starting at about Randolph and heading south to the Loop. The Wrigley Building is just north of the river and Wacker Drive.

A reminder: Open carry is illegal in Illinois. If you see a gang of masked people walking down the street carrying rifles, call 911.

e: Finally finished reading the whole article. This is good journalism. This article does not mince words. Read it.

United States is finally saying the quiet parts out loud

Maybe people will listen now that they cannot escape the noise

Democrats have purposely by their check writers designs have colluded with the Republicans who have the same marching orders

Football politics at its best where the health of the players comes in last squeezing that warm meat for all it is worth exploiting the citizens for maximum profit and control

Back when trump was first running, I read an article comparing us politics to wrestling's kayfabe.

Finally? Like segregation until the 60s wasn't loud enough? Japanese internment camps? Police violence against PoC? Invading Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq without consequences? Currently funding a genocide?

US has always been hateful towards people of color, whitewashed with media manipulation. This will be too.

They didn't force tiktok to be sold to US for nothing. They now own all major social media companies.

In a decade yankistanis will refer to this very timeline as the "good ol' days" where they openly oppressed the people for being different, without a shred of shame.

Odd how the brown and Black dude don't have masks on init.

Makes you wonder though, when will the leopard eat their faces next.

After covid I'm still amazed any of them can handle wearing a mask

If you've EVER been to Chicago on a Sunday, it is DEAD except for tourists walking along the main street taking pictures of downtown buildings. There is NOBODY ELSE there. There are no immigrants working there for them to arrest lol. Hope those BUMS are getting paid OT by your tax dollars for their exercise!

What a shithole. They are trying to compete with congo, darfur and mogadishu on who can sink the lowest.

Total no-go-zone.

Didn't SCOTUS say targeting people based on skin color was cool?

[–] goferking0 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Amazing how after that case they're just openly saying it out loud
