Chicago improviser, comedian, writer. But day job covers almost none of that.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

Sanchez better off trying to score off her left leg. Guess she favors her right but it put her off balance and she fell down. US feels very weak in striking the ball towards goal. Both Spanish goals were rockets.

Dickey was quite slow on the jump to go after the ball that ended up in the goal. #USWNT

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

For @us.theguardian.com, I spoke to Native WNBA fans about the loss of the Connecticut Sun. “For a tribe that fought long and hard to be granted tribal sovereignty, the [sale] decision being taken out of their hands can feel like a violation of that sovereignty.”

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

I'm sorry #NWSL Boston Legacy but the "legacy" name just does not roll off the tongue well. I still feel strongly that they need to embrace the witchiness of the area & rename themselves the... Boston Coven Sounds a bit like Boston Common. Imagine a full football stand in witch hats!

It is also important to note that Cornell doesn't have a journalism major. These are students who may not even plan to make journalism a career, but their dedication to the field is tremendous.

Tech has come along so far. I remember in 2001 going to iO Theater to pick up physical paper copies of the iO team schedule (which would be for the next 2 months) & that was how improvisers found out whether a) they made a team; b) if their team was cut; c) if they were put on another team. #improv

Chipotle & Doordash have either lost or cancelled my orders 3 times in the last week. Their costumer service is also terrible. I'd suggest never ordering delivery from them. You can only trust in-store service.

The president of the United States declaring that he’s banning the free press should probably be a big news story. Maybe even bigger than Biden misspeaking occasionally.

Something positive happened with the Chicago Stars. I'm unfamiliar with this feeling after not having it for years. In Feb 2020 we were at Yuki's band's show & the vibes were off the charts. Then covid hit. Then the sexual abuse investigation reports. Then the exodus of players. 🤞

Last week I said that this was weird and this week I am saying that this is still weird. It will continue to be weird until the franchise makes some soccer hires in exec roles. All this shows is that there is still no defined roles for the club. Likely won’t be till offseason.

The only thing I'll say about the CTA red line death is that the mechanic that can open the doors should automatically activate the train's emergency brakes. The train should not be able to move with open doors.

The problem with having very few reporters working who’ve covered sports for a decade and anti trans political developments for a decade is anytime there’s discourse it takes like six extra pieces to show how all the groups coalesce towards defunding public schools and repealing Title IX.

The Chicago Stars need an owner and an ownership that is truly invested in making sure the team is successful. I have yet to see any coaching or front office hire that really shows vision. Is this purchase just a vanity purchase and/or a charity case? We used to be a playoff contender.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
