@Natasha_Jay Well done!
You don't have to put on the red light.
@StevePrice The only person pushing for factory jobs is a person who never worked one. Everyone else wants a job that isn't as hard. Post WWII the U.S. was the only manufacturer still standing. We can't recreate that and 'go back'.
@TonyStark Will hit red states the hardest. Good Christians!
@AssociatedPress @politics-AssociatedPress Probably said a whole lot worse about Biden.

On the east side of Kiyomizu-dera's main hall, on a beam below the latticed shutters, is a long, deep scratch (ๅ ‚ใ€…ๅทกใ‚Š็ญ‹็—•).
It was created by the countless rosary beads rubbed against the wood so that worshippers could feel their way around the hall in the dark.ddd

The city has given birth to a handful of common phrases used in Japan.
Often these idioms give us an insight into unusual customs, historical figures, famous festivals, and sometimes even reveal a little of what people think of Kyลtoites๐Ÿค”

@Nonilex Repubs don't care, sadly.

@xankarn Left Chicago two years ago to drag my husband and son back to Canada. But enough of my heart is still there that this made me so proud. Even Picasso is there!

@lmgenealogy @xankarn

same, i moved away 25+ years ago but i still miss it

@samiamsam @xankarn It's a fabulous city. Too bad it's in the US.
@lmgenealogy same but 8 years back. and we're still in the US, but i think i felt my heart grow 3 sizes when i saw this! we lived 7 blocks from Daly Plaza. @xankarn
@peachfiend @xankarn I threw that Picasso mention in specifically for people like you. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@xankarn

that's Daley Plaza

(i moved away 25+ years ago so I'm not sure if it is still called that - Daley was a racist rat bastard)

it is a very large plaza and this is AMAZING!!!!!

@samiamsam @xankarn Trump wants Daley to come back from the dead and take over as mayor.

@IveyJanette @xankarn

yep, they may be working on cloning lol

@samiamsam @xankarn He wants Sam Yorty back from the dead as LA mayor. Same in Philly with Frank Rizzo.

@xankarn
I finally visited Chicago recently and can't wait to go back.
@xankarn I was out there! Nothing but good vibes. People drumming, singing, handing out food. Love the people of Chicago!

@xankarn Yay! This warms me in the meow meow 
@xankarn Wow. I'm incensed in advance that these rallies are probably being undercovered by the media.
@schamspeare @xankarn National outlets maybe not, but I've seen coverage from many local news stations covering the protests in their states.
@SuperSpaceFan @xankarn Good to hear. Hopefully the fascist rally is cast into the background.

@xankarn unless this is sustained daily for months and causes real disruption to the administration it will have no impact.
@xankarn Chicago does many things, but it never disappoints! ๐Ÿ˜

@xankarn

When Australians protested in the streets against Prime Minister Tony Abbott in 2015, the media ignored it and Abbott pretended he didn't know it was happening ...

So don't be surprised if Trump does the same ...

@xankarn
