Not to be too controversial but I'm starting to think letting private equity purchase everything under the sun was a bad idea

For the first time, we have a family speaking out about their child being potentially murdered on a boat in the Caribbean www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/w...

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.

Remember Jade Helm? When TX Repubs were CONVINCED that a military training exercise was intended for Obama to seize control of TX, and Greg Abbott deployed the TX National Guard to appease fears? Today, close to 80% of Repubs favor of military occupation chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Anyone saying they’re not racially profiling is unserious

I just want a comfy hoodie, a stash of snacks and a good podcast. I'm not asking for much, universe.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s: "I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

We're a post-accountability society

Blocking out all "opposition" voices creates an entirely new demon - it enables us to invent thoughts and opinions of the opposing side that don't exist, or are inaccurate to the point it makes you just seem crazy

The only thing worse than small talk is negativity small talk. Yes, I know its raining. Yes, I know you don't like cold weather. Yes, I know traffic is traffic. In a world with so much bad, can we at least try not to pile on and pile on and pile on the negative vibes for 2 g-d seconds

Michigan Avenue right now.

Texans will vote on 17 constitutional amendments on Nov. 4. Here’s the ballot in plain English: If you’re wealthy, the state promises to protect your fortune. For everyone else, there’s small perks, patriotic gestures, and pothole-filling promises. thebarbedwire.com/2025/10/07/t...

Massachusetts residents complaining about the rain despite being in a severe drought that has completely ruined the fall foliage season is peak New England behaviour if I've ever seen it.

Never thought this would be happening in America!

Congrats to the Jays, in particular to Vladmir Guerrero Jr, having a genuine superstar moment!

Sometimes I forget just how drastic the change in technology is since I've been alive. A music critic posted a TikTok about how we used to go buy albums before streaming, and several people are pushing back with "Music has been on YouTube since forever." 2005 isn't exactly forever, kids.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

86 degrees Farenheit in New England on October 6th.... dried, crispy dull fall foliage, dust allergens making it difficult to breathe, sweating inside... climate change is going great, everyone! go, team America

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

I never cease to be amazed at the LACK of worth ethic across many demographics of American culture. Even at places I've worked that pay well and have good employee culture, the "Bare Minimum" crowd is always present

Reminder that Lutnick was Epstein's neighbour in NYC and still owns that property today

#OtD 2 Oct 1944 the Warsaw Uprising against Nazi occupation was finally crushed after two months of vicious fighting

What a woman! I'll always remember this heartwarming goodbye hug when she brought the chimp back to his home in the jungle. May you rest in peace, Jane Goodall 💔 #RIPjaneGoodall

No matter what you think of it, this is accurate:

A LOT to unpack here.... www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10...

Our farmers are permanently boxed out of China's soybean market.

I really, really love this.

Remember when Trump 45's administration hit Comey with a high-level IRS audit and they found out Comey OVERPAID taxes and got a refund?

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

We are $37.45 Trillion in debt now.

Israel has dropped evacuation leaflets over Gaza City & closed the passage to Jordan. It won’t be much longer. 😭

Unsolicited spiritual advice to all you freedom fighters - Be the change, lead by example. Pick battles wisely, you don’t have to say everything, even when you’re right. Focus.

My heart goes out to everyone with a family member who is confused and distressed over the Autism announcement. My heart is racing after seeing the press conference

Corporatism has genuinely ruined everything. Live Nation charges shameful prices for their concert venues, $16 for a canned Truly or American beer… …and they sell tickets to the walkway areas of the venue. Kurt Cobain is rolling in his grave
