“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

a person too narcissistic and egotistical to engage in self-reflection and who has also surrounded themselves with people who will indulge their worst qualities, many such cases.

honestly so chilling to receive a no-subject email from burger king

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement. At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Portland is showing the way. Hail Portland

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

When someone buys your pitch and you realize you have to actually write it

The real story here is not about how scared individual cops are (they're almost certainly exaggerating), but about the fact police depts in the US openly intervene in partisan politics, and decline to obey reform-minded politicians. We effectively have no democratic oversight of police in the US.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

UMG responds to the dismissal:

A judge blocked the deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area for two weeks, finding no substantial evidence of a “danger of rebellion"

Federal charges against a Chicago couple who were arrested for protesting against ICE were dropped after a grand jury refused to indict them.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray. The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Remember when these guys ran a completely fabricated story about trans kids sourced to a single bigot who worked at St Louis Children’s Hospital and it got so much traction that they ended a bunch of programs for trans kids because of all the bomb threats

Just finished, a lovely read

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Fix your hearts or die

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
