the nazis won't stop doing this until they're afraid to keep doing this

if you can replace "psychotic" with "autistic" and it'd be horrifically offensive to autistic folks, rest assured this is also the case for people who experience psychosis. stop

No way the people prone to religious and spiritual psychosis are also prone to chat bot worship and psychosis. Wow you’re just telling me now for the first time

“I am living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil.” From July 17th: m.facebook.com/share/p/16yL...

Before you call that AI chatbot a “bucket of bolts”, ponder this: what if it was an innocent child instead? Not so funny now, is it

brutal lol

“It’s not fascism unless it’s pure totalitarianism” is a view no scholar of fascism holds, or has in fact ever seriously held. Fascism is an ideology, and has several different stages. I don’t understand where people are getting this stuff.

I believe Donald Trump is the ONLY president who can rescue the brave POWs still held captive in Vietnam

This is just insane levels of contempt for their audience. Fox news thinks its viewers are dumb and I have to agree.

This place is more fun than I was expecting

If any other president said something like this in a speech to a military academy, it would be a massive scandal. Instead, it isn’t among the ten most dangerous things he’s done this week.

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.

"The American people are capable of turning the tide against repression even if that feels hopeless...the history of the first red scare teaches us that a better future is possible and worth fighting for." Nice @davidrlurie.bsky.social historical meditation here: www.publicnotice.co/p/emma-goldm...

"Juan" traveled from CA to harvest blueberries in OR. "The fields are in bad condition-so overgrown I can barely walk. I was to get paid 40 cents/lb, but the labor contractor who brought us here doesn't want to pay us sometimes. I'm not protected by a union contract." #WeFeedYou

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

A poem for this Sunday

Left: Kemi Badenoch says the anti genocide marches in London are "protests which are in fact carnivals of hatred directed at the Jewish homeland" Right: A British Jewish protestor on one of these 'carnivals of hatred' marches in London, to end the genocide imposed by Israel on Gaza

I wrote about the ascendance of Bari Weiss from a hack columnist to media royalty, and what it means for the future of CBS News.

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny": Listen for dangerous words.

You misunderstand. *We* might be concerned, but they're waiting on Republicans. In their mind, if Republicans voters jump ship then they won't be forced to compromise with anyone to the left of them on policy. They're going to be waiting a long time.

Bless

Every network should be diving into this story: www.cnn.com/2025/10/02/u...

This from the late and lamented Nigel Latta of Aotearoa:

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

This is a point that is not known as well as it should, even among pro-Palestinians. The Kahanists, who were subject to "Cordon Sanitaire" in decades past and who killed Rabin, are now in charge of things.

Rome witnesses marches in support of Palestine and calling for an end to the genocide, as one protester holds up an image showing an injured child next to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni laughing, in criticism of her refusal to act to stop the crimes in Gaza.

This seems kind of "Anti-American"

History repeats.

Soon you can have your sushi delivered by the same drones that shot toddlers in the head while they were scraping spilled flour off the ground

Leave it to Homer GOP Rep. Sarah Vance to try to cancel a local paper for describing a man who once said Black women like Justice Jackson do not have "the brain processing power to be taken seriously” as holding “racist and controversial views." My latest from the Memo: #akleg

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

Imagine sending an airborne division after this guy

lol, countdown to headlines that "some experts say" he can't do this

And there it is. The entire attack on Netflix is just a grift for far right influencers to promote a religious streaming site.

ICE couldn't terrorize our communities to this degree without the hundreds of companies that provide it with goods and services—many of which also have contracts with blue cities and states. *View map from browser, not app. Key on bottom (mobile) or side (computer). Click on pins for more info.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources." Oracle is about to own TikTok.

Four more people were killed this morning. To repeat: - If it can happen at sea, it can happen anywhere - Trump has offered no definition or limiting principle for who can be labeled a "terrorist" and summarily killed - And no plausible legal theory for why an armed conflict exists

As far as normalization efforts go, it’s hard to top Axios’ repeated framing of Trump’s actions as “accelerating a trend.”

It's fascinating how 2 weeks ago the republicans were declaring holy war on antifa for their martyr Charlie Kirk and now it's "Charlie who? oh yeah that guy, rip i guess."

71% of Democratic voters say they'd favor a 2028 presidential candidate who has previously "voted to withhold weapons from Israel." 55% say they would prefer congressional candidates who supported the “Block the Bombs Act,” co-sponsored curriculum by just a quarter of House Democrats.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨
