In a flurry of student walkouts, Chicago-area students continue protest of ICE

It's a legit addiction and just as destructive.

This honestly explains a LOT about the Times.

Elon Musk is singlehandedly doing more to ruin capitalism's reputation than a thousand communist propagandists could hope to do in a hundred lifetimes.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

Yes, ICE is a Gestapo-like police force compromised largely of white supremacists who were unable to obtain jobs in traditional law enforcement. But so many of the anti-ICE people I talk to are like the worst wine moms . I have never felt more politically homeless.

Go Bears, fuck ICE, and Free Palestine.

ICE is murdering people and lying about it. Don't let them get away with it.

Прости, Юра, мы всё проебали.

Everything is infuriating and the people in charge are irrevocably evil.

Everyone paying attention: "It's about the oil!" Trump fans: "It's about narcoterrorism!" Trump: "It's about the oil."

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Everyone is talking about the Monroe Doctrine, but what's at work here is the Trump Doctrine: "Gimme it, it's mine!"

do democratic transitions usually start with a kidnapping ursula

Achievement unlocked! Like much of reddit, r/socialism is run by a bunch of useless clowns.

I would like to formally propose that all Starfleet vessel names be witheld from the US Navy until they start exemplifying the values of the Federation. "USS Defiant" my ass. And keep these MFers away from the Enterprise!

Got this recommendation in my reddit feed, in case you were wondering how that AI revolution was going.

And there will be zero consequences.

Man this is tough.

An Anti-Defamation League that actually believed in its stated mission would savage Trump for his comments about Rob Reiner and his wife, but they are too busy trying to find out whether an Oberlin student said something critical of Israel.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Oh, wow. You really wanted your essay to open like that, huh?

I have never met a Christian who talks about Jesus as much as AI addicts talk about their chatbots. And I'm a banjo player who lived in Georgia for 20 years. I've met *literal* snake handlers. I hope the psychologists can keep up, but I'm worried they're going to get replaced by chatbots too.

Imagine being the underdog in a fight, and instead of siding with other underdogs you dream of being the oppressor. What the actual fuck?

*reads literally any history book* *raises eyebrow* You sure about that, hoss?

I'm begging y'all not to rehabilitate Marjorie Taylor Greene just because she's fighting with Trump. First, you know they'll make up. Second, this is the person who thought Jewish space lasers were responsible for California wildfires. She was nuts before Trump, she will be nuts after Trump.

If Trump ISN'T guilty as hell, why the hell is he behaving like he is? And with all the subtlety of a five-year-old who's been caught in the act.

BREAKING: Judge Immergut issues a permanent injunction against Pete Hegseth and the deployment of the National Guard to Portland. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

THIS.

Don't listen to doctors, who are paid by Big Pharma to sell you pills. Listen to RFK Jr, who's paid by Trump to utter whatever random batshit nonsense he feels like.

Am I on a bad acid trip or did I just see an AT&T commercial that said "Speed. It's what we do."?

Ireland once again reminding the world what the word "Republican" should mean.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot. The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

When you order at Novi's or Lukes, do you say "I'd like two Italian Beefs" or "I'd like two Italian Beeves?"

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame. www.bbc.com/news/article...

What gets me about the whole Bad Bunny Bullshit Bomb is that so many people see monolingualism as a point of pride rather than an intellectual limitation.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

After all this, BlueSky is just another Twitter.

Man, the Pete Buttigieg cult is *weird*. They actively search for people taking about him and either argue with them or block them if they're not properly differential. They say he's well-spoken but if you ask him about Gaza he gets Trump-level incoherent. Also he's a union buster.

I'm bored and want to try an experiment based on my past experiences.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

Jane Goodall, the conservationist renowned for her groundbreaking chimpanzee field research and globe-spanning environmental advocacy, has died. She was 91.

If that country is called Israel, however, we'd send it billions of dollars and arm it to the teeth so it could commit genocide

this is why you can’t give an inch to transphobes. they are driven by hate and no amount of kindness will make them even momentarily soften. it is a militant ideology.

One thing I'm learning from the recent news cycle is that Democrats are blissfully unaware that the NRA collapsed last year and barely functions as an organization anymore. Wayne LaPierre was even tried and convicted of corruption.

Leftists don't really have a special hate-on for Mormons. LDS is seen as one right-wing church among many. The only people who really hate Mormons are other Christian sects.

Border Patrol boats have been spotted in the Chicago River. Where's Dave Matthews when you need him?

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better. [reads any New York Times focus group] Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]
