13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 11/05/2026They've been this way since before 1999 when John Rocker told us how he (and they) feel about NYC 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 26/04/2026In my childhood every time the family drove through Indiana the "Tom Raper RV" signs were everywhere 100
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 29/03/2026I don't like it. It's 'out of sight, out of mind.' Let them put their concentration camps where people will hear and see and complain to the local media about what what's going on. So many "good Germans" swore they never knew what the reich was doing in the camps, far from their houses 020
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 06/03/2026I remember gas prices going down in the midst of the 2007-> mortgage crisis, due to lack of demand due to unemployment. And then R's said "look how low gas was at the end of GWB's term!" when trying to criticize Obama for gas prices. 050
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 20/02/2026"After record high crime across the country under Biden’s defund the police era..." I'm so tired of seeing all these attempts to fully rewrite history. 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Kudos, I see you were doing this a couple of years before Chicago! But also booooo! Chicago didn't trim out Abolish ICE from its finalist list but you did! 160
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Not a single state, county, city or village has hired a single person, huh? 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 05/12/2025They'll have to make these tiny cars out of lead to push them over 6000 lbs so they can qualify for the current tax incentives. WTG IRS section 179! 030
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Wait til he hears about all the vacant storefronts in the Trump Tower Chicago! 010
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Because he doesn't even need to. It's already effectively dissolved for now. But after midterms he may have to formalize that via EO 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 03/11/2025When you see a fleeting "support tamale vendors, x time x place" message in a chat for a random Thursday, and head over to see the line is 2 blocks long - mostly local white people who can risk standing out on the street for a while - something is building. Feels like everyone wants to do more 2132
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 03/11/2025The great thing is that people who read get it, and people who don't pay attention just know "Trump is President" if this comes to pass so they'll ALSO blame Republicans. 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 30/10/2025My peeve: You no longer need to buy 11 tubes of toothpaste at the same time to get the discount. Instead must remember to digitally clip each coupon in the Jewel app as you shop, and be ready to be met with a shrug when random promised discounts don't appear in your phone's scanner or at register 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 29/10/2025If it's a compelling state (ie federal) interest to enforce who can live next to who, maybe they can go after Texas's land use policies because Id' MUCH rather live next to a family of immigrants or refugees, than live next to a fertilizer factory. 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 23/10/2025At the specific, custom height of 88 feet. Because 90 feet was too tall and 85 feet was too short. Surprised he didn't install 14 of them all around the grounds 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 23/10/2025He owes fines to Chicago for his building's pollution of the Chicago River. 141
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 23/10/2025What's next for LCR after your big assist to bring back conversion therapy in Chiles v. Salazar? You said you oppose it, but your actions will unban it soon across the nation. Can't wait for Davis v. Ermold after that! Or to quote one of your heros, 010
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 16/10/2025"DHS said records also show his total earnings this year cost taxpayers $205,707, including $9,276 for FICA/Medicare taxes." And he did the policing that was asked of him for the salary plus benefits, and paid taxes. These people act like taxpayers got ripped off because of his citizenship status. 1130
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 16/10/2025From what I understand about rescissions that's the real issue. They can agree on any budget, just to have the executive refuse to spend the money on Dem priorities and claw back the money later. So what's the point of voting yes on ANY budget if that's just what's gonna happen? 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 14/10/2025They'll have to go after NextDoor and Signal too. Very active Chicago communities reporting ICE sightings. Facebook isn't the be-all in this space 030
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 14/10/2025My rural family who's afraid to come to Chicago never once said it was because they might see the World Naked Bicycle Ride 170
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 08/10/2025I understand it was the fed cops throwing the tear gas without a care for how it affected the local cops, CPD 010
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 06/10/2025"But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty..."

13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 05/10/2025I own and live in a 4 unit apartment bldg in Chicago and it's comforting to know that ICE can just rappel down, break all my windows and doors, loot the place, and detain all the tenants for hours in zipties if they feel like it. 110
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 10/09/2025I was at Saturday's march but had no idea this was happening today. I happened to have a 5pm appointment in the loop, and as I left it, scrolling on my phone, I came across your initial post. My partner and I came and participated thanks to your post here! 🤲 040
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 09/09/2025For the ratings and to demonstrate their adrenaline fueled rage combined with a lack of professional training 040
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 09/09/2025Real "either you are with us, or you are with the terr'ists" energy here 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Hate to say but the video's out of context. Chicago uses our snow/sand trucks as barriers during planned events (especially after people drove into crowds like in Nice and New Orleans). These were used for the weekend's Taste of Chicago event, with some to protect yesterday's anti-ICE protest route 030
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 04/09/2025It could also be that redstate govs know that NG units from *other* states are more likely than their own NG to brutalize their blue cities effectively 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 04/09/2025Red state governors inviting him to their bluer cities, so they can suppress the vote at the statewide level to favor Republicans 040
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 04/09/2025It's the lair of arch-nemeses Mars Wrigley and Ferrero Pan, so yes! 110
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 29/08/2025I'm surprised that 10 comments in no one has yet shared the "new" quasi-official Milwaukee flag milwaukeeflag.commilwaukeeflag.comThe People's Flag of Milwaukee — Milwaukee's symbol of pride and unity.Boldly patterned, rich in symbolism, and memorably simple. A fitting symbol of a city ready to face a new day with clarity and confidence. 010
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 29/08/2025And RIGHT AFTER that in the article she complains about judicial activism: Bradley said her warnings about the court being controlled by “judicial activists” went unheeded Wow 040
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Wow, if it is indeed "the human heart" then the comparison between countries would show that Americans are uniquely depraved. Of course I don't agree with that, but that is what his own argument means by extension. 120
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Fox News used to be able to post video of the famous palm trees of Madison Wisconsin at the protests against former governor Scott Walker, *without* needing government "journalists" to get involved. Same with going to Naperville, Ill to get planted "Chicago residents" to opine on the Chicago mayor 120
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 28/08/2025I ride my bicycle through all parts of the city (wandrer.earth points!) The north parts of Ward 41 especially are where city and county cop cars are parked at residences and where I, a whitey in spandex, was aggressively buzzed by two different Ford Interceptors on those quiet residential streets. 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 26/08/2025I worry that TV shares this trope that some scrappy band of fighters will always win against the invasions of aliens/armies. But you're right, we're far bigger with more physical room for dissidents, more whack-a-mole required...and we have more information so "I didn't know" can't work a la Germany 020
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 26/08/2025I've been reading "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45" by Milton Mayer, published in 1955 after the author interviewed 'good Germans.' So many people just went along to get along, without needing to be terrorized into it by roaming thugs. But the thugs were there for the others. 220
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Oh.. that's depressing. I can really see them being encouraged to do so and taking that on as good 'patriots'. 110
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 25/08/2025I think about when we have the first snowfall of the year and older people out shoveling get heart attacks from the rare effort. 040
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Maybe if he can't bench his weight in public, we can goad Adams and Cuomo into mocking HIM 000
13Felix @13felix.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Missouri's gonna do it too. They don't need the excuse of "well California did it," just like Texas didn't need it. She's not a serious person. 000
