The AI phenomenon may functionally print money for tech billionaires, at least for the time being, but it comes with a gargantuan environmental cost. www.thenation.com/article/envi...

I think it’s ok to admit that the Nazis borrowed from US white supremacy and current US white supremacy is borrowing from their innovations and previous US white supremacy Both can be true at once

They told the world there was a truce, but it was a lie. They break it every moment—bombing us, starving us, controlling every aid truck. Children are still being killed. Nothing has changed. Gaza still needs you. Please don’t look away—we need your support now more than ever. gofund.me/073a5f742

Hello @support.bsky.team why has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

Sadistic, marauding fascist monsters having a tourist moment. “The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, ‘Everyone say, “Little Village!”’”

Border Patrol agents posed at "The Bean" for an apparent photo op after a weekend of clashes in Little Village. blockclubchi.co/4oUHKae

Today, community members across Cook County monitored and protested the Trump administration’s assault on migrant communities. In total, 15 people were arrested by multiple law enforcement agencies. Read our full statement here: nlgchicago.org/2025/11/08/i...

I've been following the aftermath of a car crash where a federal agent was captured on video placing a Black man in a chokehold. We obtained the 911 call made by a US Border Patrol agent who was on the scene through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request thetriibe.com/2025/11/list...

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here. And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Years of US police impunity conditioned USians to accept this as acceptable.

It will always be incredible when history is written that Trump attempted a coup d'etat and then was given the keys to the entire government a mere 4 years later.

The government lawyers appear shell shocked.

Is ANYONE going to stop Trump from blowing up boats????

I feel like the white house has underestimated the negative impact of making their supporters much poorer immediately upon taking over

I’m pretty proud of myself for staying sober through all of this [gestures widely], not to mention the many adverse personal life events I’ve had to manage. If you’re staying clean and sober, I’m proud of you too.

My take on the Trump video is that Dave Mathews Band did it first

And you, governor, should stop providing state cops to police protesters for ICE at Broadview.

They killed someone.

Really would like people to shift their thinking to the point where they see themselves and the people around them as the people who will collectively navigate through this moment.

Fun fact: Obama remains the only Nobel winner to order a drone strike on another Nobel winner

She's a U.S. sponsored opposition candidate and the daughter of a steel oligarch. Machado champions the privatization of Venezuela's oil, power, and steel industries.

Feds were actively arresting people just a few miles away while he was giving this interview.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

Someone should ask what Miller was doing between 2021 and 2025, why David Horowitz recruited him to the foreign policy team of the Trump campaign, why the Democrats never followed through on their 2017 investigation of alleged lies on Miller's SF-86 clearance forms, but no one asks real questions

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.

Ooofff @govpritzker.illinois.gov asking Chicagoans to leave any troops deployed here alone because essentially they're just following orders is...not it

If Palestinians, especially those in Gaza, can keep going, so can we.

give the court room sketch artist a raise immediately

This WILL NOT mitigate any problems, and the state should not be pulling this shit. @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you've talked a big game about opposing Trump, and now the state is pulling this? "Free speech zones" exist to make protesters irrelevant. Everyone knows this.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

God bless and protect the members of the Samud Flotilla, who were abandoned by the Spanish and Italian navies at the 11th hour much as the world has abandoned the people of Gaza. Bless them for refusing to forget Palestine. Bless them for not giving up when so many of us have failed Gaza.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be Jane Gooddall when I grew up. What a life.

Honestly, this entire opinion is just jaw-dropping. The first postings I saw on Bluesky were about the first page, which is lovely in its own right and exemplifies one of the less-well-explored roles of a judge in a democracy: to explain what is going on legally to non-lawyers. There's way more.

"Political violence is the norm for the Black experience in this country. It just is." At this part, I yelled, "Yes!" The Black experience has yet again been erased in the conversation about political violence when it should inform how everyone sees this country.

temp check from Chicago: just witnessed four wine moms in the wine bar in a Marianos grocery store on the Far North Side swapping recommendations on where to buy “Fuck ICE” t-shirts

Go buy THEY KNEW. It holds up even in the stupidest situations. In fact, the stupider the situation, the better it holds up!

Three U.S. states incarcerate women at a rate higher than El Salvador, a country that's been described as an authoritarian police state. The rest are not far behind – take a look at who holds the top 10 spots for women’s incarceration around the world:
