#3GoodThings My cousin who I have not seen in years was in town, so we caught up over an extended lunch at South Branch in #Chicago. Food was great,; company was better. I organized a volunteer day with my team from work at Bernie's Book Bank. It was a lot of fun and felt like for a few hours, we made a difference. Speaking of #books, I'm super excited for a couple due out this year by fave authors: Exit Party by #EmilyStJohnMandel and Other Worlds Than These by #StephenKing. @3goodthings@a.gup.pe

The Ugly American, Part 1 Welp, here ah is. Haven’t written lately have I? Howsomever I believe I have enough excuses reasons. Kinda been busy. Leave me brief ye: Seems that some Ukrainians decided that they don’t like Unca Joe’s Hospitality and have also decided to do something About it. They organized into guerilla bands and fought Their way from the Ukraine at night and sleep at day. Quite the characters. Read about such things in the paper But never thought I’d see such a thing. By that I mean each Had two weapons which they acquired by joining the Russian Army and then deserting. But they had excess gastric acidity (burp) Guns, M-1s, Lugers, and what have you. These thirty-five that Were picked up five days ago claimed that they were the Advanced guard for 1000 more. That’s why we’re out here now... #chicago #poetry

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Obama accusa Trump (senza mai citarlo): “Ogni giorno ci svegliamo con un nuovo assalto alle nostre istituzioni democratiche” “Viviamo in un momento in cui può essere difficile avere speranza, ogni giorno ci svegliamo con un nuovo assalto alle nostre istituzioni democratiche, un altro colpo allo stato di diritto, un’offesa al senso di decenza”. Nell’orazione funebre per il reverendo Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama lancia una durissima critica a Donald Trump e la sua amministrazione, senza pronunciare direttamente il nome del presidente. “A ogni risveglio vediamo cose che non pensavamo possibili, ogni giorno ci viene detto da chi è in alto di temerci e attaccarci gli uni con gli altri e che alcuni americani contano più degli altri e che qualcuno non conta per niente” ha continuato l’ex presidente che, insieme agli altri ex presidenti democratici, Bill Clinton e Joe Biden, ha presenziato le esequie a Chicago del leader del movimento per i diritti civili morto il mese scorso a 84 anni. “Ovunque vediamo che avidità e intolleranza vengono celebrate, insieme a bullismo e prese in giro mascherati da forza”, ha detto ancora Obama, riferendosi evidentemente all’era della seconda presidenza Trump. L’ex presidente ha comunque concluso con un messaggio di speranza, guardando proprio all’esempio di Jackson che “ci ispirato a scegliere la via difficile, la sua voce ci chiama tutti a essere messaggeri di cambiamento e speranza”. L'articolo Obama accusa Trump (senza mai citarlo): “Ogni giorno ci svegliamo con un nuovo assalto alle nostre istituzioni democratiche” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. Obama accuses Trump (without ever naming him): “Every day we wake up with a new attack on our democratic institutions.” We live in a moment in which it can be difficult to have hope, every day we wake up with a new assault on our democratic institutions, another blow to the rule of law, an offense to the sense of decency. In the funeral oration for Reverend Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama launches a harsh criticism of Donald Trump and his administration, without directly naming the president. “With every awakening we see things that we did not think possible, every day we are told by those in power to fear and attack each other and that some Americans count more than others and that someone counts for nothing,” continued the former president, who, along with other former Democratic presidents, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden, attended the funeral in Chicago of the leader of the civil rights movement, who died last month at the age of 84. “Wherever we look, we see greed and intolerance celebrated, along with bullying and ridicule disguised as strength,” Obama said, clearly referring to the era of the second Trump presidency. The former president nevertheless concluded with a message of hope, looking specifically to the example of Jackson who “inspired us to choose the difficult path, his voice calls us all to be messengers of change and hope.” The article Obama accuses Trump (without ever mentioning him): “Every day we wake up with a new assault on our democratic institutions” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #Obama #Trump #JesseJackson #BarackObama #DonaldTrump #Americans #Democratic #BillClinton #JoeBiden #Chicago #second #Jackson #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/03/08/obama-trump-istituzioni-democratiche-news/8317159/

Anyone have any recommendations for fun things to do in #Chicago? So far, I have a Cubs game, Grant Park, Willis Tower, Cloud Gate and the Art Institute on my list. Any other suggestions, especially for food, are highly appreciated. Thanks!

Documents Reveal Real Reason for Raid on Chicago Apartment Building --- The DHS arrest records make no mention of the Tren de Aragua gang even though officials repeatedly cited its presence in the building as motivation for the raid, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter and zip-tied U.S. citizens. https://www.propublica.org/article/chicago-venezuela-immigration-ice-raid-landlord-tren-de-aragua?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #ICE #Chicago #Immigration #Venezuela #Immigrants #DHS #USPolitics
