It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

"Striking down the Voting Rights Act will enable states to run elections without the burden of federal overreach... Now, states will be free to levy a poll tax on voters to cover the cost of election infrastructure."

Over a third of the old internet no longer exists, 87% of all video games before 2009 are lost media, 40% of the Million Dollar Homepage was dead links as of 2019, etc. *And* this media void is being filled with mindboggling quantities of ai slop. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mil...

A whole bunch of right-wing food industry adjacent business owners that continually complain about SNAP are about to find out how much of programs like SNAP are actually a subsidy for them.

Apropos of nothing: It is vitally important to always have a person in your life that will not hesitate to, honestly and kindly, tell you when you are completely full of shit.

it's mind-blowing that democrats are telling voters to ignore the nazi tattoo instead of saying, "that nazi shit's gotta go" like, set aside all of the obviously horrible shit about this story, it's incredible how weak democrats are capable of looking

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening. Make statues of this.

Mainstream media doesn't show this shit, but we also have this going on daily in Southern CA with locals. People are out there. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Newsroom producers trying to figure out a new level of corruption to both-sides

Hadn’t seen this photo, and it’s kind of great:

the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man so of course we're going to do it again this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

I can't help but think we've been extremely lucky that no real violence has hit stuff like data centers up to this point, but I read this and I suspect it is inevitable that someone will attack one of these as they start to make survival of the community vs a massive data center a zero sum affair.

Anyone else feel like there's an increase in politicians presenting themselves as Democrats during elections, but acting like Republicans, and some cases literally *becoming* Republicans, when they win? Dallas' own mayor did that. nypost.com/2024/11/23/u...

everything else apart, if you're too dumb to get your nazi tattoo covered up before you run for Senate, you're too stupid to be in public office

lol I forgot this was in Superman

Dear Disney, when Steven Soderbergh offers to make a Star Wars movie starring Adam Driver you say YES

You gotta imagine how weird it felt to drive that backhoe today just looking back at everybody going “you sure about this everybody’s sure about this?”

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

I guess I just feel like it should be a bigger deal that Penske Media owns the Golden Globes and ALSO Rolling Stone, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, GoldDerby, and Deadline, plus 20% of Vox Media

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works (15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Wait But what did they think it was???

Oh sure but when a leftist proposes it suddenly we're "destroying america"

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

Absolute bombshell from @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social: Meta's internal research found that Instagram's algorithms preferentially displayed harmful content to vulnerable teens. I'm glad I left Instagram back when I did, even if it was for other reasons (their anti-LGBTQ policies).

Hell. nymag.com/intelligence...

Not the point, I know, but couldn't the Post have had a reporter walk over and take a look? "...according to a photo shared with The Washington Post and two people who witnessed the activity and spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe it." wapo.st/4hqBNiU

I don't know what visual metaphor you need for the moment, but this should do it

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

I’d say this is damn good reason for Democrats to hold fast to the shutdown until Republicans agree to protect ACA credits.

An OpenAI executive said GPT-5 found solutions to 10 "previously unsolved" math problems when in reality all it did was find online references to places where people had already solved them techcrunch.com/2025/10/19/o...

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

hey georgia, early voting is happening now -- please vote out the shitty republicans who keep increasing our electricity bills for no reason and show them we can kick them to the curb if they don't work for the people!!!!!! find your early voting precincts here: mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

People have to have some life defining conflict to feel like life's worth anything. For most of us that conflict is simply capitalism and it is no surprise that the people who have "beaten" capitalism are in a level of crazy we cannot comprehend.

They’re losing it. This is what it looks like when you know you’re losing and you’ve got nothing else.

I'm in.

Schools in South Carolina recently sent home unvaccinated kids, to stem a growing measles outbreak. Turns out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly infected their classmates for days. That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes
