"My U.S. citizen sister gets dragged out of car with guns drawn—after Chicago ICE crashes into her," explained Chris Figueroa. "My sister is fresh out of surgery cleared for work only a month ago." "These people held her in detention for hours—after they brutally dragged her…


Arguably, what’s the word…criminal

ICE agents just snatched a Journalist & were Speeding away when they hit a woman’s vehicle that was going to work & doing nothing wrong! They almost left the scene after slamming into her,but then snatched her out of her car at gunpoint and took her with them! 🤬

Reminder: because the veteran prosecutor nominated by Trump as a U.S. attorney and approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee found no basis for indicting James Comey or Letitia James, Trump replaced him 3 weeks ago with an insurance lawyer he met at one of his golf courses.

This, on the heels of describing ICE’s lethal Chicago conduct as “arguably” a little harsh.

Why am I not surprised that the Chicago Tribune's Editorial Board came out in defense of Bariu Weiss FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS? (She practices NONE of those standards the editorial outlines): chicagotribune.com/2025/10/09/bar…

🚨 BREAKING: Chicago residents are now following ICE vehicles, honking horns and shouting warnings to alert immigrants before raids begin. This is what community defense looks like — ordinary people refusing to stay silent while federal power targets the vulnerable.

So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago,…


Watch the whole thing. Every win for the right side of history has to count for something.

Of all the things we’ve seen in Chicago, can’t recall anything like these scenes

Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago. These people are out of control.


Michael Phillips reposted

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a…


Much obliged, Robert!

A really good q-and-a with a really fine Chicago actor making her film debut. In a big, roiling, really terrific film.

“I fell in love w/ Chicago because it’s a city so rich in culture and community.” Loved chatting w/ Chase Infiniti abt how our city shaped her as an artist, prepared her for her scene-stealing role on ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, & her character’s revolutionary wardrobe. Story ⬇️

You know who's a dee-light to talk with? Mr. Rob Reiner. We did a lunchtime event at @UClubChicago and honestly he could've done it with a radiator and it would've been dee-lightful.

Brilliant work.

rest easy, Joe Caroff... his WEST SIDE STORY poster design is so iconic, and my favourites are his work on LAST TANGO IN PARIS and ZABRISKIE POINT

A tremendously stupid, short-sighted decision by the @chicagotribune that's immeasurably damaging to the city's cultural voice. Michael, as everyone knows, is the best.

News, personal: @chicagotribune has eliminated the post of film critic. This left me two options: wait for a newsroom reassignment or take the buyout. I took the buyout. Time for something new, somewhere else. Exit column later this week. (1/3)



I’m almost positive that second scenario wouldn’t be the case

It’s called anxiety.

Says the best the Tribune ever let go.

Tribune is losing a good one.



It’s like he’s jealous of a worse moral and legal outrage than the era he’s personally ruining.

Trump says the Smithsonian is “out of control” for discussing “how bad slavery was.” Insane.

Insane.


Writing about a valiant and inspiring city and its champions of cinema, and the individual talents who shine, has been great for my soul. New adventures await. To all the humans on this insanely compromised platform: Thanks for reading. Truly. (3/3)
