Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari of Arizona’s 3rd District describes the “horrific conditions” she witnessed inside the Eloy ICE Detention Center near Phoenix — including a leukemia patient “vomiting blood,” detained in February and forced to wait eight months before finally seeing an oncologist...

Cost of doing business

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Durbin lied on national television and said because Feinstein was sick and not physically there in person, it was impossible to issue subpoenas in regards to the SCOTUS corruption scandal. But his own website specifically stated that they allowed proxy voting.

Normie Dems never thought the leopards would eat their faces lol Here's a hint: when you vote for a genocide, you vote for your own genocide.

When you actually think about how many issues are tied to disability you never think about, it’s intentional. crutchesandspice.com/2025/11/11/c...

dems, 2009: we can't do shit we only have 59 senators dems, 2025: we can't stop them they have 52 senators

Just remember as you see all these politicians rushing to say "Bernie was right, we should be like Bernie" that a few weeks ago, Bernie was praising Trump on immigration. Oh, and Bernie voted to confirm Marco Rubio. NONE of the Senate Democrats are good enough. NONE. OF. THEM.

So you're saying (*opens notebook*) when you're in charge of an organization that repeatedly fails, eventually (*scribbles furiously*) you get fired and replaced? What the

I continue to think that maybe a bunch of men, many of whom were literal child rapists, who thought that it was cool and normal to own other human beings, weren't omniscient when it comes to designing a government and maybe it's okay to change a few things

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

guys, they’re learning

Sen. Angus King: "Standing up to Donald Trump didn't work"

The losing will continue until libs improve.

Then he threw up his hands and said "fine. Deal. Just come back inside. We'll agree." This is a true story.

These people have exactly one strong impulse and it's to immediately throw cold water on any indication that their own base is getting angry or making demands. They fundamentally see their purpose as telling anyone thinking about standing up for themselves to knock it off and be quiet.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The kids are alright. Props to the parents, who look like they're having fun supporting his high-quality teenager BS.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

Federal immigration agents have deployed gas in Little Village, on 26th between Komensky and Pulaski, per videos shared online after 11 am this morning.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper. They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer. If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help." 🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

My gym recently implemented a blanket "no more overtly political shows on the TVs" policy after a large volume of complaints. What used to be the Fox News TV is currently occupied by Franklin the Turtle. Big improvement.

But at some point, if following the law and procedure leads to this, what's the point of following the law and procedure? Conservative SCOTUS justices do whatever they want, law and procedure be damned. Law and procedure are means to an end, not an end in themselves.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

this is child sex abuse, no? if someone asks a kid for nudes?

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.” That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.” @jessefelder.bsky.social $MSFT www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

This is Just to Say I have ruined the workplace with my very presence and which you were probably using for bro time Forgive me it’s like a Montessori preschool in here now

Trump’s invasion of Chicago provokes so much heartbreak it gets overwhelming sometimes.

Fact-Checking Claims About Zohran Mamdani https://theonion.com/fact-checking-claims-about-zohran-mamdani/

“A writer at the Times contacted me to talk. He said he was less interested in Mamdani himself than he was in the Africana Studies part…” On why maybe you shouldn’t talk to the New York Times about Zohran Mamdani.

I don't ever accept any "inevitability" arguments about climate stuff especially b/c a lot of the same people who say "nothing we can do" say "we'll terraform Mars soon!" we can't terraform Mars if we can't do biorestoration on our own planet this is obvious

Minimum wage is $7.25/hr

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

It doesn’t matter how much we all despise him; he needs to be studied. There has never been a human being like this. And God willing there never will be again.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

ICE tortured this man to death

Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs. "More telling," she says, "defendant Bovino admitted that he lied."

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer. Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality. hellgatenyc.com/bail-reform-...

Reminder that this guy is a 20-year veteran - served under Obama and Biden.

There's so many of these btw, NoVa right wingers realizing that their neighbors genuinely hate them
