Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.

I don't intend to watch this but my guess is that he didn't like the Woke Movie

I’m on the train too. Didn’t think he hit an actual person. Response actually seems muted for that. 25ish minute turn around is crazy then. Maybe hit a bike and the person is ok?

I hope the person survived somehow

Train just started moving again.

The Green Line train I'm on, heading from Raymond to Fairview, just blasted its horn for ~15 seconds, slammed on the brakes, and came to an abrupt and screeching halt. That was five minutes ago. We are sitting here in silence, motionless. What the fuck? #MetroTransit

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

It's so considerate of ICE to run this public service announcement telling the resistance the best way to tie up maximum ICE resources.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

“More than any single institution, the Claremont faction has generated a philosophy for Trump’s second administration, and its ongoing attempt to radically redefine America.” www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2025/1...

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

“They was bringing the kids down too, had them zip-tied to each other,” she said. “That’s all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where’s the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘f*** them kids.’” trib.al/QmjwZi0

I don't have the space to spearhead this, get it off the ground and lead it. I *can* give $ and put in time on the details. Need a couple-two-three people to organize getting double locks and free installation to vulnerable neighbors. #FuckICE

The problem of how to present evil in film isn't solved by ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. It's enough that Paul Thomas Anderson's film depicts our apocalypse now. My review. ttps://wp.me/pzXeC-ktu

Bandcamp Friday! When you buy music today, all $ goes directly to the artists.

Kind of want to start a band called The Shitty Television in order to play an incompetent cover of "Marquee Moon" and one or two other things

That’s not good

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

“infinite video” means not infinite entertainment but infinite boredom; the death drive incarnate

The restorative power of a good (and reasonably priced!) haircut cannot be overstated, especially after months of increasingly terrible hair and procrastinating about same. Brier at GreatClips in Dinkytown did right by me today, with no appointment and a... challenging... hair situation to fix. ❤️

I love it when people take time in the crosswalk. As a driver, I like being a defensive wall against the ass in the car behind me throwing “wtf are you waiting for!?” signs. We should have fewer cars. But those of us who do drive should act more like guardians, not overlords of those who do not.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

No reason, none at all, just felt like catching up on some recentish Central Asian history #Turkmenistan #USA #cultofpersonality #embarrassing en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saparmu...

Got the COVID booster and flu vaccine last week at a CVS. No hassle, no waiting. I scheduled them online the same morning, checked a box saying I AM ELIGIBLE, was in and out in under 10 minutes. Go thou and do likewise.

War-ravaged Portland

Military service is about courage and sacrifice. That’s what my father, a Marine, and my mother, a Navy veteran, taught me. But awarding medals for the massacre at Wounded Knee is cruelty, not honor. And reaffirming them today only deepens the injustice. (1/2🧵)

"more timely now than ever, for the worst possible reasons"

It's not fascist to call fascists fascist. It's not "dehumanizing" to say that terrorizing entire groups of people - which ICE does - is evil. No executive order can change these facts. However, people *can* mess things up for fascists by standing up for community and truth. Like this.

I know there's a lot going on but this is a huge deal: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will stop providing abortions next week in an apparent bid to keep accepting Medicaid. The GOP budget law "defunds" PP affiliates that offer abortion care after October 1 We broke the story on @autonomynews.co

Describing authoritarian acts as authoritarian doesn’t incite violence. Decrying fascist acts doesn’t incite violence. Dehumanizing language is a precursor to violence & genocide. Never call any person an animal, scum, bug, vermin, parasite, or garbage. www.ushmm.org/antisemitism...

Mpls liberals whose self-image = social justice warriors but who happily vote for corporate oppression & unthinkingly ❤️ that nice Boy Mayor

now journalists who don't cover drug policy know what those of us who do have faced for decades: incredibly unreliable information/propaganda from many government agencies & politicians.

I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

Keith (JD Twitch) was kind enough to critique my stuff when I began fucking around with Fruity Loops in the early 2000s. He found the most polite ways to say "this sucks" without actually saying those words. RIP stirmonster
