Jacob Savage is, per his Substack, a "ticket scalper and very occasional writer who lives in Los Angeles." Free advice: One way to be a non-vanished white male author is to be a more than occasional writer. That's what I did, and it worked a treat.

And, really, "The Dodo has more courage of its convictions than you do" is a pretty sick burn and an accurate one against numerous academic, artistic and literary organizations.

"We Beat 'Em Before... (Portland's Version)" This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.

Doing The Work these past few months has saved me

over the weekend I wrote a little defense of Doing The Work at a time where we're constantly being offered shortcuts dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

The future belongs to us! 👏

A tow truck driver who towed an ICE SUV that was blocking a driveway while the agents kidnapped Angelanos back in September was just found NOT GUILTY on the only charge against him (theft of government property). THAT'S ANOTHER WIN FOR "FUCK YOU; MAKE ME"

Tomorrow is the last day of this holiday toy drive for Chicago families impacted by ICE. 41 of the 60 kids who were registered have had a present purchased. Organizers are hoping every child and family can receive a gift. Let's help them reach their goal! Venmo: KHPWtoydrive

Not in a box. Not with a fox. I do not want it, Sam Am I. I do not want your gen AI.

I know people are rightly going to be worried about child health, their own health. But we also can't afford this. Like, John Hopkins did an estimate (next link) and every measles case during outbreaks cost on average $43,000 to treat. That kid who got tetanus cost $1 million dollars to treat /1

This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications. ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

You *know* this should have made the runoff in prior years, but some anonymous bigot at S&S vetoed it. If they do it again this year, I’ll FOIA the data to out the bigot. Vote here: www.chicago.gov/city/en/dept...

video streamed to facebook shows multiple chicago police cars ostensibly block community members + rapid responders from following a caravan of roughly 10 border patrol suvs, including one carrying greg bovino. before this, the streamer followed agents from i-55 all the way up lsd to edgewater.

border patrol agents, including greg bovino, are slamming chicago’s southwest side/near suburbs already today. at least one person abducted from tbe walmart parking at cicero/33rd in cicero—a frequent target for agents (photos below). also confirmed in back of the yards and brighton park.

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

I’ve been seeing this cover over and over and I just… In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.

Re-upping this. SEATTLE, WA: this dog needs foster! Sweet 9yo Pyr who is a good family dog. Ignores cats. Was rehomed 2 months ago due to severe family medical issue but the new owners seem to have abandoned. Can anyone take him in? He can’t stay with OP

Australian news reporting that the hero bystander here is named Ahmed al Ahmed. Muslim, father of two.

I like Pluribus because I also see myself as someone who treasures humanity but dislikes humans

Thank you, Minnesotans, from this Chicagoan ❤️

In these trying times, I get my comforting laughs wherever I can, and this game is a great source of them

Worst of the worst, you might say.

After I had my daughter, one of the qualities I looked for in infant formula was existence, which was an aspect my breast milk lacked

Bluesky told me in no uncertain terms that I am to dress luxuriously for air travel to signal respect for others. Can someone please advise on airport treadmill attire?

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

One officer was accused of spreading a nude photo of a woman he knew. Another was found responsible for acts of domestic violence and sexual assault. In spite of their disciplinary records, the Chicago Police Department promoted both of them. With @invisible.institute

The intensity of invasion has diminished substantially, but Chicago already has a bad case of PTSD. Low-intensity warfare will do that to you. We need some kindness.

NEW: About 100 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have descended on Minneapolis for Operation Metro Surge, a new phase of the Trump Administration’s crackdown on immigrants, this time targeting the city’s Somali population. unicornriot.ninja/2025/ice-tar...

NPR's faildaughter public editor Kelly McBride still at it, helping dismantle democracy.

As a DOJ attorney said in court yesterday, the feds aren't done with their deportation campaign in the Chicago area. At least 2 Chicagoland rapid response teams confirmed immigration agent activity today. Videos emerging online corroborate Border Patrol presence in Cicero, IL this morning.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

NEW — In response to a court-ordered evacuation, members of the 7500 South Shore Tenants Union are demanding more time and money for residents to leave the apartment complex and relocate. thetriibe.com/2025/12/resi...

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Abolitionist John Brown was executed by the state of Virginia on December 2, 1859.

Boycotting intensifies

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

We are all Costco

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

He’s such an idiot! Airlines treat passengers like cattle to maximize profits and he thinks passengers should dress pretty to thank them

Nothing says elegance like spread-eagling for X-rays in front of security.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I genuinely think @mrnikli.bsky.social may be one of the best business writers in history, and “Brainwash An Executive Today!” is one of the best written and insightful and funny business pieces of all time. A must read. Execs can be really stupid! ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/brainwa...

I haven't seen or heard the hokey pokey in a really long time. Maybe this is how everything has gone wrong.

There is already a party that is giving bigots everything they want; they've got it all locked up. Anyone so devoted to their bigotries that they hold their votes contingent over it is going to vote for that party. Differentiate to win. Don't differentiate to lose. This is very simple marketing.

It's actually the confidence of a *mediocre* white man, the race matters. And Olivia Nuzzi isn't channeling that confidence. She's channeling a specific kind of white femininity that's normalized in white supremacy.
