I sense that the media is starting to blame the Democratic Party for Platner, rather than the Bernietariat. Mainstream Dems saw the danger and Mills entered the primary. It’s Bernie, the Do Somethings, and DSA who have been doubling down. Don’t get it twisted.

White leftists/progressives: I HATE DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE BEING GENOCIDED!!!! Also white leftists/progressives: What's the big deal? He only has a nazi tattoo. What have the nazis ever done to anyone huh?

This whole situation with that running for election in Maine and the response is precisely why calls to just welcome everyone as long as they say they’ve reformed is not a real strategy. It will just alienate the most vulnerable b/c those folks aren’t to be trusted

Parachuters have expressed befuddlement at how harshly DHS is treating Chicago (protesters and otherwise). We invite you to review the many years of violent, racist propaganda about our city since Obama was elected. They hate Chicago. That's it. That's why they named their group chat this.

The conversation about healthcare and what happened w/ the ACA is another example of why I don’t bother when liberals/leftists or whomever try to frame discussions. Some of the critiques are usually valid but then the rest of the post or article is filled with bad faith bs or outright lies

Up on Nebula now: I went to Chicago to ground-truth the “crime-ravaged third world hell hole” allegations. You will NEVER GUESS what I found nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

oooh. Bookmarking this! "How to turn off AI tools in Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more." Step-by-step instructions from Consumer Reports.

White people have a kind of intra-white respectability politics about the level of racism that's considered permissible in polite company and I think a lot of polite racists are mad the gutter racists are tarnishing their good name. I don't care for any kinda racist but I love myself, so. 🤷🏽‍♀️

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!” Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”

Sharing for folks who want to learn a little bit more about Chicago’s East Side neighborhood:

Chicago all day

Time magazine is owned by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who just came out as a Trump supporter and said it would be great if he sent the National Guard to invade San Francisco

Weird, I thought everyone was just planning to eat their own satisfaction with the black female unemployment rate.

Y’all seen this?!

🚨After being tased and beaten by ICE, a man dies in a Chicago hospital. Date and location in following post. These are the horrors of 2025 and we cannot look away. 1/2

So interesting how that spin works…and how certain folks are way too happy to eat it up

Sailor Selenas!

CHICAGO: REBUILD is providing therapy to folks detained by ICE. Please feel free to let people know. findmeatherapist.org

💯 - Even if you don’t care about politics/didnt like the other lady, this level of daily chaos is exactly what happened last time and is why I couldn’t understand ppl actively voting for it. Too much stress

Dominion Voting Systems has been sold to the former GOP director of elections in St. Louis -- will now be named Liberty Vote. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wtf Even is this?

Of course she’s a delta and a lawyer ❤️

This right here

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

This thread also speaks to why I'm spending less time on 🦋... I can't with the performative outrage and rightousness coupled with the thinly veiled racism of white leftists in large doses anymore. And they come elbowing their way into conversations here the same way the magas did on X.

This is why class only politics or shifting comms strategy to be ´less condescending’ won’t work…

Black ppl in 2015: *warns of impending doom* White ppl in 2015: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 White ppl today: “😳Who could’ve see this coming?!🤷🏼‍♂️”

In these cases and the current political moment, I think shame does serve a purpose, but teasing that out is difficult when culture has gone so far in the opposite direction

Y’all will never guess how he sounds 🤯

Scholastic has a new app with a bunch of classic kids shows like Clifford, Goosebumps and... The Garfield specials! Free with ads.

Klein is hard to dislike, and I have biases that lead me to this, but it’s hard to feel that what he’s encouraging is constant contortion on the part of people who are right to facilitate constant comfort for people who are wrong.

The way y'all talk about Stan's in DC is how we talk about Ceres in Chicago. If you order a "whiskey and ginger ale" at Ceres:

Again, I recommend moving away from and being mindful of using of TikTok. Oracle, one of the most privacy-violating, pro-surveillance, genocide-supporting, pro-policing corporations to exist, is taking over co-ownership of TikTok.

Isn’t NY the same place that said Chicago pizza had ‘too much going on’ and ‘had too much cheese’ , so their pizza was superior…interesting developments

Don't go into a stranger's mentions and argue about semantics. Ever. Just don't do it. You're not being smart, you're not "informing" anything, you're just annoying.

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

In a addition to the consultant class, this type of consistent ´journalism’ adds to the rationale/perceived support for a toothless opposition party

BLACK PEOPLE ARE AMERICA.

I'm gonna shake the table here: Boycotting means boycotting them little football games. Because see, Disney is doing this to curry the favor needed to get that ESPN/NFL deal approved. And a lot of people either don't know or don't want to know that's a bigger deal than some Star Wars/Marvel.

Honestly I think there may be some resentment about us being right and not wanting to admit it (in a similar vein to why some wont admit they fell for a scam)

Be nice if people w nat’l followings knew more about a Cong race far from where they live. Yes, Kat Abughazaleh was there & deserves credit for regularly protesting at Broadview. But so were other IL-09 candidates Skokie school brd member Bushra Amiwala & Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss (who was gassed)

Ayy Brandy just dropped this take on folded 🔥

A pitch for those of you canceling Disney+/Hulu this week would be to use that cash and subscribe to PBS/PBS Passport. Public media is foundational to our democracy and supporting @pbs.org is just about the best value for your dollar. Plus, there are so many British mysteries!!!

Lowkey this was happening w/ Halle and that weird AI created by her ex
