I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

to fix GIS, one must begin with the dictatorship of the proletariat (not really but lowkey I think in my utopian society GIS software as we know it doesn't exist so)

You can't put a price on this kind of friendship. www.cnbc.com/2024/09/03/t...

excessive hgh has negative cognitive effects, including upregulation in fear memory formation

Thousands of people disappeared, ethnic pogroms in multiple cities, entire national security apparatus has been turned inside out, illegal murder campaign in the Caribbean, higher edu & science gutted, and the economy wobbling as trade has been devastated for a decade, but cracks are finally showing

A federal grand jury declined to indict two people charged with assaulting law enforcement agents outside a suburban Chicago ICE facility, an attorney for one of the defendants said, Megan Crepeau and @benjaminpenn.bsky.social report news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

fucked up that this is all just landlords swatting their own buildings to get rid of all the working class residents so they can raise the rent or sell to a developer who'll flip them into high end condos or w/e like it's a real estate scam! it's a fucking land grab! a fire for the insurance money!

I used to be the guy on Twitter reminding people that contractors like me do not get back pay. “And then also contractors experience permanent economic harm because they don’t get back pay.” Thanks to OMB Circular A-76 far more of the federal workforce is contractors than you know.

stealing the property of ethnic minorities in mass terror pogroms in conjunction with financial interests who want to consolidate property in impoverished minority neighborhoods. Damn. History does rhyme. bsky.app/profile/utop...

one side effect of the echo chamber the right wing inhabits is that they forget how to talk to anyone else

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.” “That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause. thetriibe.com/2025/10/mayo...

Coates’s line in his discussion with Klein that “sometimes we lose” really stuck with me. Klein was talking electoral calculations. Coates was talking about those working for true liberation and equality. To me, this is so much of the difference. Where are we actually trying to go? And how?

Just fucking call his bluff. Oh, you're gonna send troops everywhere? Gonna do Zero Dark Thirty on random Chicago apartments? With what money, bozo?

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Wow I can't believe the product of the overhyped tech bro startup mindset defense contractor run by a right-wing Trump lover who dresses like a manchild is deeply flawed and doesn't work the way they promised it would I am shocked by this this has never happened no one has ever predicted this wow.

Anyone else feel the rope getting tighter

Broadview Police have opened an investigation into an attack from federal agents on a CBS crew at Broadview, per BPD Chief Mills.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

separate from everything, the idea that 2020 was a squeaker but 2024 represents a historical mandate will simply be the death of me

New translation up on @igd.bsky.social of a piece that I found really powerful: "Resistance does not need a visa. It travels from Guerrero to Gaza, from the fields to the neighborhoods, from the rural classrooms to the refugee camps." itsgoingdown.org/ayotzinapa-a...

I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

1. Great news for trans students in Chicago. Chicago Public Schools has announced it will defy Trump's demand to ban trans youth from bathrooms. Trump will now pull millions in federal funds. "Our district will not back away from doing what we know is right." Subscribe to support our journalism.

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

has anyone considered telling the ruby millionaire programmer to shut the fuck up

ICE continues to terrorize our communities in Chicago

YOU - That's sad. LIMBIC SYSTEM - Yes, it is. And you drowned in that sadness a long time ago. YOU - What do you mean, “drowned”? LIMBIC SYSTEM - You lost.

A totalitarian movement must never achieve its goals, as that would eliminate the need for the movement itself. Even in victory, new enemies must be created in order to justify further cruelty and domination.

Last year: Austin Peay State University learns prof is Nazi who went to Charlottesville rally. Admin drags heels, pays him $56k severance to leave This week: APSU prof posts screenshot of headline - Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment- & is immediately fired

Absolutely fucking horrific crime, just cold blooded murder by ICE that's an inevitable result of their deployment in Chicago. They have killed, they will kill again, and they will continue to round up non-white people and rendition them to other countries Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Skye Valadez is allegedly the name of a trans woman 4chan mistakenly identified as the shooter yesterday. You could bet on her being arrested on websites like polymarket and Kalshi. Unspeakably evil and rotten shit happening in this country

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

it doesn’t matter how loudly Dems condemn this, or even what the shooter’s actual motive is, the machine is already in motion and will invent its own fuel if it has to

Turns out the only thing that was stopping fascists from churning out herrenvolk propaganda at scale was that they were talentless cheapskates who can't paint or draw and wouldn't dare pay someone else to do it.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

As a former resident of Georgia...come on, man.

As Amy Coney Barrett runs around shilling her new book and denying the fascist constitutional crisis, it’s fun to reflect on how Mexico just seated around 900 judges, supreme court included, in a judicial reform where voters chose their judges directly for the first time in Mexico’s history.

AI-based frontend development has the same problems as Dreamweaver-era WYSIWYG editors: you're supposed to be able to manually edit the HTML, but in practice you absolutely cannot because each seemingly-innocuous change produces fifty <span>&nbsp;</span> elements and invisible tables under the hood

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation

An element of fascism is a kind of upside down where the meanest, most rapacious, and least virtuous of society are loosed to bully and abuse people who genuinely uphold civic ideals of service and sacrifice. Public service isn’t what the system is about. It’s about conditioning the national body.

Trump taking Intel's CHIPS grant money, allocated for manufacturing and research, and converting it to an equity stake, no strings attached, is the opposite of "socialism" or whatever centrist pundits are vomiting out. It's a $9 billion giveaway to prop up their failing stock.

ICE is beyond reform and should be abolished.

Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future. It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.
