It's actually quite bad and a lot of people are just in denial about it

actually living in a neighborhood means other people will occasionally be near your house. that's literally what a society is. other people aren't your mortal enemy. YOU go live in the middle of nowhere if you think you're surrounded by criminals

All of this stuff makes more sense I think if you realize that we have a bunch of losers who are slowly talking themselves into believing in the theology/ideology of slavery www.liberalcurrents.com/sex-is-gay-r...

This was predicted by so many people IN REAL TIME and it's sad to me how easily demagogued we are as humans while insisting we're so savvy.

I presume this is more of the attempt to link No Kings to the shutdown.

The left: always correct—uncomfortably early for everyone else Everyone else: “now that we agree with the left, the left needs to compromise to accommodate us”

God, moving the TV outside so you can rip Marbs while drinking the lightest beers on the planet is such a weird version of masculinity

...at some point around the middle they came for John Bolton, and I did not speak out, because it kinda seemed like that dude belongs in prison.

Putting a ladder up to the room on the second floor of the Department of Justice where they keep the Epstein files.

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

Totally forgot about the Tea Party giving a televised rebuttal. Searching for news about it I stumbled on this section of a 2011 interview that does a good bit of foreshadowing.

“Two federal agents said they had been in the process of arresting a 46-year-old man in a parking lot when two women ‘approached and began striking them both in the head,’ police said. The man and the two women then fled the area on foot, officials said, and entered a nearby residence.”

imagining paying for a service where i want to search something on google and it tells me no, it’s too tired to do that

FIRED DOJ LAWYER: “I responded up the chain of command - that’s a lie. I cannot sign my name to that.” Erez Reuveni says he was fired by Trump’s DOJ for refusing to lie that KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA was a terrorist & gang member.

If there’s one thing leftists don’t understand, it’s living like a graduate student

Chicago - no kings

My friend Andrew Lih @fuzheado.bsky.social is a freakin hero. A gunman came into his Wikipedia event, and he grabbed and disarmed him. Thanks to him and another brave volunteer, no one was hurt—not even the gunman. Now let’s ask why we accept a society where this can happen at any large gathering.

More and more people are saying this!

The Holiday Bowl proposed moving to Saudi Arabia, according to an agenda for an ACC ADs call this summer.

I have never owned a ring camera

The DHS Twitter has been tagging and calling out a local journalist writing on immigration in Chicago. Local journalists covering what’s happening need continual support especially as they write these important stories.

90% chance George Santos is immediately hired for a media role by trump.

Their bait would be sort of impressive if it weren’t so incessant.

even if nothing goes sideways, leave your dog at home, your dog doesn’t want to be around tens of thousands of people

Chicago: Know your enemies

it really was all over the place. you had the head of the goddamned CIA telling the Brazilian military they better not do a coup or else, while Anthony Blinken was lying to Congress about what his own staff said so Israel could get more bombs

It is sick

"The officers at the Coast Guard station did not appear to wear any agency or personal identification. They did not speak when asked to identify themselves, while one officer moved behind a bush as a Block Club reporter took photos and videos." Not at all concerning!

Every democrat (really, every white american) over 60 is lucky they did not have internet access until after they turned 40.

2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

There's a larger point to be made about how these guys aren't building durable authoritarianism, but watching this video all I could think is "I can't wait to see these guys go to jail"

This graph from a new AP-NORC poll out this week highlights a crucial point: The Democratic Party's favorability rating is so low today (when compared to the GOP's) because _Democrats_ are upset with the party, not because swing voters rate Ds more negatively than Rs. 1/3

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.

literally no need for this the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems. I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

They sent a B-52 earlier this week. Not sure why they wouldn’t go the “false flag” route if they were going to get cold feet.

Holy shit. The Chevy Tahoe Border Patrol used to slam Marimar Martinez before shooting her was the personal vehicle of the officer involved, not a rental and not CBP's--and he drove it back to Maine. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

"They call him 'the Khan' and he's banned from every casino from here to Atlantic City."

This is a utterly horrifying story. A medical student in Germany that was part of 764 manipulated and coerced a 13 year old trans boy into taking his own life live on instagram and it took years to bring an arrest. archive.ph/079R6

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

These days the most shocking thing to me is that this is not the standard “middle of the road” opinion.

I remember playing the first Bioshock years ago and thinking "well this is a bit over the top," no longer

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

Lmao what if "The former prime minister praised the AI platform for answering his questions, and said he appreciated it calling him “brilliant” and “excellent”."

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Samuel Alito preparing to raise absolutely the craziest flag you've ever seen at his Long Beach Island compound.

As someone who has worked with female lawyers my entire career, the Helen Andrews piece is genuinely hilarious. Ever female public defender I’ve every worked with would eat her argument for breakfast and then go back to fighting like hell for their clients.
