This gingerbread holiday candle had a little secret. The light of its flame lit up its windows and street lamp illustrations. #Thanksgiving2025

Fannie May pixies (turtles). Must be Thanksgiving Eve. #Chicago #EdgewaterBeach #Thanksgiving2025

Some beautiful fall flowers, and it's beginning to feel a lot like Thanksgiving!

“I am proposing tariffs on other countries … These tariffs are paid for by the abusing country, NOT THE AMERICAN CONSUMER.”

“Americans are not paying for the Tariffs … They are being paid for, compliments of China.”

“We’re going to be a tariff nation. It’s not going to be a cost to you. It’s going to be a cost to another country.”

Tale of two headlines. Whatever happened to the Occupy movement?

A man cries in desperation outside the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. His wife of five years was taken into its walls by the Trump administration. The couple was following the legal process, showing up for her court case, when ICE took her to another room and disappeared her. Agents told him to look up her name online. That's all he could do. #Chicago #ICE

Deserving or not, I treated myself to a salmon burger and fries for lunch. Why not?

This is Greg Bovino. He’s the leader of the masked goon squads terrorizing Chicago. Two thoughts: (1) It hasn’t been cold enough for that coat, and (2) He may think a 1930s Hugo Boss look is a subtle wink-wink to MAGA Republicans, but it’s not. We all get the History Channel.

Google "Mississippi monkeys." Just do it. Only in America.

In the Loop this morning: 5 protesters, 5 cameras and 6 police across the street. No ICE goons anywhere in sight. #Chicago

Nice night for a stroll. #Chicago

Trump's 90,000 sq ft White House ballroom is pure vanity. A room this size can hold about 7,500–9,000 people seated at rounds of 10, depending on spacing, dance floor size, staging, and service aisles. For more than two centuries, presidents have managed diplomacy without a space the size of a convention hall. This will be a cavernous, gilded monument to his ego. It will be costly to maintain and because it is far too vast for any diplomatic function, it will sit mostly unused and empty.
