Took a social media break the past month, so returning in the new year with a drawing from my 10-year old. #fuckice

A white cat wearing an ICE shirt pointing a gun at a darker colored cat, captioned: “This is untrue because cats aren’t racist. Be like cats.”

A friend from Lincoln Square is out walking around and has seen a few of these vehicles. Stay safe!

Making whistle kits to hand out tonight while listening to Cameron Winter - perfect fall morning (other than the having to make whistle kits in the first place part).

Whistle kits: “call the family support network to report ICE sightings. 855-435-7693. Form a crowd, stay loud!

Way to show up Chicago! So proud of my city and our community - THIS is what democracy looks like!

My son created this comic - I’m proud that he’s able to express himself in a constructive and creative way (and his art is 🔥) but also hating that our kids have to endure all of this bullshit.

Comic strip drawn by a 14 year old - showing a green Martian in a crashed ufo getting arrested by ICE.

Chicago didn’t look like this until ICE arrived. Just wanted to make that clear. i0.wp.com/bcc-newspack...

Biked with my husband and kids to the lake for a dinner picnic tonight. Lots of dodging and weaving around slow walkers, and had to shield our eyes at the insanely beautiful sunset. Phew. Glad we survived!

This is my bestest girl, Penny Lane. Loves me, my husband and kids unconditionally. Always greets us in the mornings like she won the lottery. Little does she know, we’re the lucky ones.

Penny Lane says happy Tuesday everyone! (Except to the asshole taking her picture, pretty sure she’s plotting her revenge against me and the cone of shame). #dogsofbluesky

There’s a billboard along the Kennedy Expressway going north (maybe around Fullerton) with this image and it just says “PRAY FOR US”. As a Chicagoan and Packers fan, it’s glorious.

A red hat sticker that says “PEDO” on the front and ICE along the side, on a lamppost in Chicago.

To be fair, I started the tradition by telling my friend that if her vagina was a person, it would be the mug shot of a meth addict.

The mug shot of a woman, smiling proudly, missing a tooth or two, with stick glasses drawn over her picture.

Erin Nitz @erinnitz.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

My friends and I have this thing where we decided who everyone’s celebrity vagina would be. Mine is Doug Henning, a magician from the 70s. Not sure if I should be flattered or offended.

Perfect night for some FJM at the Salt Shed. Needed the couple hours to disconnect and listen to music #fatherjohnmisty

I think about these stickers multiple times a day, and they definitely apply here. Can’t wait for those assholes to be held accountable for this horrible bullshit.

I need to remind myself that beauty still exists among all the craziness - this week my oldest baby graduated from 8th grade and my youngest baby finished 4th grade. A well deserved summer break for all!

Save PBS!! PBS Kids had a tremendous impact on my kids’ childhoods. Their social, emotional and educational well being would look different today if it wasn’t for the gang at Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and Super Why. #viewerslikemepbs

Energy for a car, otherwise known as gas?! Not even close to $2.50. What a fucking idiot. The actual things that are down is the tanked markets, his approval ratings and our collective patience with this nonsense.
