This is feminism.

These are like the cia trained men in Guatemala who abducted Maya children and murdered their parents. My dad survived these horrors himself as a mere child in 1982, at 13 years old. It's hard not to recall the history and stories I was told by both of my parents as I see ICE patrolling the streets.

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

It occurs to me that what we needed was not more education on the Holocaust itself, but we needed more complex education - some might even say critical race theory - on the role of America. We needed to be more aware of the opposition to fighting Hitler, so we knew it could rise again.

New: Pablo Moreno González and Felipe Agustin Zamacona, two men formerly held at the Broadview, IL ICE facility, and now the named plaintiffs in a federal class action alleging inhumane treatment at the facility, are being released from federal custody per a successful habeas petition.

Another video confirming Bovino's presence was shared online about an hour ago in Park City, IL, which borders Waukegan and is closer to the Wisconsin border than to Chicago. Even if bystanders weren't audibly heckling Bovino in the videos, the haircut is unmistakable.

pfft. absolutely not

We're closing on two months of one person single-handedly shuttering Congress. This is beyond absurd. No one should be able to do this.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The diagram for what Palantir does is like if Richard Scarry got super paranoid and did an Apocalypse picture book

I'm a few chapters into @lkatfield.bsky.social's great new book on MAGA intellectuals and I thought the close of her introductory chapter made a very important point about the dangers of talking about MAGA as it it is an intellectual desert. It's more like a refulgent swamp of shitty, toxic ideas.

A cleaning woman showed up at the wrong house with her husband. Someone inside shot through the door, striking 32-year-old María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez in the head, killing her. The Indianapolis suburb is called Whitestown.

Feminists have long been scared of looking mean, and as a result we’ve been way too nice to antifeminist women. Sorry no, you’re not submissive, servile, and dependent because you’re a woman and that’s just your feminine nature. You’re submissive, servile,and dependent because you lack self respect.

amidst all this, the only trans member of congress is getting slurred and deadnamed in front of congress and it’s being posted all over RW internet

"It's inhumane because the conditions are bad. There's a lot of people in a room and there were only two bathrooms," Torres said in Spanish. "There were showers, but only one of them was working and they had no curtains. And you practically slept on top of garbage."

Not just the agents either. Every single person in the organization. Even the clerk writing out documents.

Present situation: Faith over Fear clergy are trying to deliver a letter to the processing center but are instead engaged in what looks like an intense negotiation with Broadview Chief of Police Thomas Mills. Has been going on about five minutes now.

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

“Federal immigration agents led a caravan Thursday morning across Chicago’s Southwest Side, making several stops to question residents on their immigration status.”

Love my PNW

If you think this about ICE/CBP, you are not my ally. They are all evil, they are all guilty. Full stop.

“Attorneys representing Santillana Galeano said her arrest violates the consent decree. Her attorneys wrote that detaining Santillana Galeano “without a bond redetermination hearing to determine whether [she] is a flight risk or danger to others violates [her] right to due process.”

Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this. To ICE: "You can repent"

When I get my green tea downtown after Court, I don't go to Starbucks (because I'm still boycotting). I go to Veterans Roasters, right across the street from the Daley Center, a Black-owned indy coffee shop that hires unhoused veterans and donates money and food every day to unhoused people.

Sending this around again. We keep us safe!

MKUltra is mentioned here. While I was at McGill, I went to a talk about MKUltra experiments in one of their hospitals. Some older people came to defend one of the doctors involved, saying he came from a good family. Blows my mind what people can overlook. www.thehastingscenter.org/what-researc...

🤦‍♂️

Getting visibly angry at the Nuremberg exhibit waxing poetic about how many Nazis got convicted. Cool story bro, it was basically none of them, and of those convicted how many actually completed their sentence instead of post war Germany just going "ah they're good guys" and releasing them lol

People should do check in's with themselves about what things they are not saying or doing because they are afraid of conservative backlash, including threats and bombardment You need to pay attention to how you are being worked on and how fear is being used to govern you

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

Phenomenal reporting here by @tonia.thetriibe.com. Fabio Valentin, who was tapped to oppose an upcoming certificate of innocence for a wrongfully convicted Englewood man, is the same 90s-era assistant state’s attorney named in one of Chicago’s most expensive wrongful conviction settlements.

Nick Fuentes has long trafficked in racism and misogyny. Now, mainstream podcasters and platforms are helping him reinvent himself—muting his slurs while amplifying his reach. His sanitization shows how extremists are being normalized in U.S. politics and media. Read more:

The airport in Boston is hosting a food bank for TSA workers because the GOP would rather send the cost of healthcare through the roof than make sure Americans can eat three meals a day wbznewsradio.iheart.com/content/loga...

thank you for the size comparison. so many times some aquatic creature I thought was huge is 4 inches long/tall

NEW: SSA employees are getting extremely worried about how the agency will continue to provide benefits to some 70 million Americans, according to meeting minutes obtained by @wired.com. @zoeschiffer.bsky.social and @leahfeiger.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/social...
