I don't think we talk enough about the fact that what underpins their belief is a corruption of the bible - prosperity gospel. They think because they are rich , they are blessed by god. also for people who are going to say, I'm saying they aren't really christian - I'm not. /1

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

today's unprecedented foreign terror designation of Antifa has resulted in exactly zero (0) cable news segments 👍

how much of this lapd overtime was for attacking dodger fans and migra protesters?

2k words + a trip to the ER later (I'm OK), here is my latest story for @lataco.bsky.social about the LAPD'S response to World Series celebrations in L.A.. I spoke to a man who was headed to the Gold Room for a nightcap and had to undergo surgery after being hit in the finger with a "ruber bullet."

how much state violence are we willing to accept?

The Trump administration has carried out strikes on boats near Venezuela as part of an expanded U.S. drug war. At least 64 people have been killed in these operations. Greg Grandin reports on the history behind this escalation.

Every few days the NYT reveals its anti-Arab racism, so people with a functional moral compass don't read, subscribe, or repost their articles anyway

bombing venezuala is not going to change this.

In a court victory from the 2021 resistance to Line 3 pipeline construction in MN, a federal appeals court ruled that police officers who use excessive force on protesters are not entitled to qualified immunity and cannot use excessive force to prompt compliance. unicornriot.ninja/2025/federal...

@lataco.bsky.social i know you know that @schiff.senate.gov is trash, but please understand that @padilla.senate.gov is trash too.

how much closer are we to a general strike?

A great interview with Professor Mahmood Mamdani in which he discusses his new memoir, the shortcomings of the boycott as a political tool and its implementation in the anti colonial movement, academic freedom, libraries, and the relationship between scholarship and politics. No talk of Zohran!

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

an important thing to know about this race is that seattle’s public campaign financing program known as “democracy vouchers” helps level the playing field for grassroots candidates running against corporate ones. congrats @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! boltsmag.org/seattle-demo...

the rot in political circles isn’t exclusive to any party.

It's the same party. Stop pretending the Democrats and the Republicans are two different entities. They are both the system that runs the U.S. and it's a system that upholds white supremacy and corporate greed. Some of you are truly too smart to not get this and I'm starting to question your motive.

woohooooo! expanded social housing next!

NEW: The US has deported a longtime Oregon firefighter who was arrested by Border Patrol while deployed at a major wildfire in Washington state. José Bertin Cruz-Estrada, separated from his family, is speaking out from Mexico for the first time: “I feel betrayed ... What am I going to do now?"

DHS lies constantly, and this has been confirmed in court. There is no evidence that any shots were fired at federal agents. The fact that the claim has no known basis in fact should be out front here.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Bovino left LA to come to Chicago and it's not like LA saw immigration operations stop - just less showboating from his crew. So even if these circulating rumors over the last week turn out real, I'm pessimistic about how much change to expect on the ground.

Soldiers have a moral responsibility to refuse illegal orders. It’s our duty to remind them of this fact.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status. This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

that’s the u.s. and ICE

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Shameka “Meek” Hayes serves as a neighborhood commissioner in Washington, D.C., representing fellow incarcerated people. It’s not easy.

There are 41.7 million people on SNAP. There are 47.4 million living in food insecure households. Only a third of the country lives comfortably financially, according to Federal Reserve data.

I think essentially everyone but one person who urged me to have faith that Biden would eventually do a course correction, whether after the WCK assassinations, or the May 31st ceasefire proposal, or the election, has conceded to me that my skepticism was correct. Wonder what they think today.

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.
