Trump has launched an illegal regime change war. As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

I got a thermometer & now I’m Hans Castorp-level obsessed w taking my temperature

don’t be the man pompously inverting your syntax in a uselessly combative and condescending email to a woman. Don’t do it!

Confirmed Milwaukee is just the far north side

This is the longest month I have ever experienced. It really doesn’t need to go on for another week I get the point

ICE out of our cities!

Man, fuck this guy You wanna deploy the fucking National Guard? Deploy it to find and arrest the man who just murdered a woman in cold blood in front of cameras. Fascist violence is not “bait”. It’s not the pretext, it’s the goal.

I’m in my fave cafe and there are two guys at the next table. One of them is apparently showing the other a sex video he took of a woman. Wish I had the guts to turn around and say “you’re a piece of shit! And you’re a piece of shit!”

9. This is hard. But it’s long past time for it to happen: STOP THINKING CAPITALISM IS YOUR FRIEND. Everything that is happening right now is because some rich, powerful capitalist wants it to happen. Things will change only by degree, and not much even by that metric, while they stay in charge.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

My new favorite AI commercial is the the guy who goes to a Korean art museum in Korea and then his phone asks if he wants to look at any Korean art. The target demographic seems to have shifted from the uncaring, dull, and lazy to people who barely have any object permanence or spatial awareness

Shadow Ticket was fine 😔

Body cam shows an immigration agent asking ChatGPT for help writing a report: “During surveillance in the area, I observed a male subject loitering while seated in a vehicle. Based on his behavior, I approached and initiated a consensual encounter.” ICYMI: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/28/b...

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

Happening now I’m in a Chiya Chai and a woman is asking the guys behind the counter if they believe in Jesus Christ

I’m doing it w Shadow Ticket now guess I’m a Slow Learner

Video from witness here from the moment CBP gassed neighbors who had gathered outside after the kidnapping. Agent rolls a canister at the crowd out of the window of their car as they reverse away from people with whistles and bikes.

I was not esp impressed

i wouldn't call myself an expert on capitalism or anything but this does indeed seem like something of a problem

rolling into my first class of the term crooning to my printouts “it’s all gonna be okay as long as I got youuuu”

I’m rereading The Crying of Lot 49 in public, on the first page rn, just sitting at this cafe table like an advertisement for the worst guy ever to come talk to me

was I the only one who didn’t know Neko Case used to bartend at the hideout

In the church I grew up attending this one congregant would make bread himself and bring it in for communion. He got into experimenting w recipes tho and eventually they told him to cool it, turns out you can’t put raisins in the body of christ

The term for blowing up a boat with 11 people on it is “murder.” And doing it in another nation’s territorial waters sounds a lot like an act of war. But wherever it takes place, it’s the state murdering 11 people.

2 ppl w PhDs talking

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

Mom: I walk into the bathroom, and in the cabinet you won’t believe what I found, so gross I: what Mom: I could not believe it I: what Mom: so I walk in and open the cabinet, I walk in I: please what Mom: oh Peter Nell is on the phone wanna say hi I: please you are killing me

Legend has it that there is a god of jets that sound like death... But he's not one of the gods of the city

I wanna say this, and I am sorry to be so blunt: The revolution is not going to happen on the internet. If you aren't organizing in the world, you're not organizing. If you're not organizing, you're not a leftist; you're a fan. We need players. Get in the game! Love to all comrades everywhere.

Aura hunter-gatherer societies are on the whole much healthier than aura farmers

“The working masses are hungry for revolutionary change” —Rep. Rashida Tlaib at DSA convention

Thought the too-loud francophone sitting behind me on the plane was talking about AOC but he was just repeatedly emphatically saying “et aussi”

Under the Argus eyes of the cheesefathers

Photo I took inside a dream I had

The era of institutionalization was rife with horror, and deinstitutionalization + the rise of community care has allowed millions to live more independently with dignity over decades I hate these eugenicist fascists with every drop of blood in me

Honor the memory of the Pullman porters, the Chicago neighborhood that gave them their name, and the power of labor. The gods of the city stands with the city's unions, now as in the past.

Imagine if you were about to eat something delicious and the person you most dislike of all the people you’ve met ever was behind you like “mm yeah take a big bite” would you still take a bite? What if every bite they’re like “yeah that was a good one take another”?

Say hi to the tendrils in your life

Celebrating July 4 w a piece of infrastructure that’s way too good for this country

Okay but what about a Chicago-based journal of theory called Lake Affect
