Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

this is exactly what i was worried about. @govpritzker.illinois.gov gives great speeches that mince no words over the fascism we're experiencing. This sort of 'compromise' isn't fit for the moment

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.

Deepfakes of broadcast journalists are spreading across social media. Many of them are ads selling cryptocurrencies, gambling apps, and snake oil medicines. Meanwhile, social media companies like Meta profit off the ad dollars. My latest @niemanlab.org. www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/scam...

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

DAILY MEMO: At least 43 People Abducted in Southern California in One of The Largest ICE Raids in Recent Memory If you appreciate reporting like this, please consider becoming a monthly or yearly member of L.A. TACO so we can continue to bring you this vital information. @eltragon.bsky.social

Some interesting little details in this new study. Particularly fascinating is the suggestion some therapeutic benefits from psilocybin emerge out of the complex interplay between both 5-HT2a and 5-HT1a receptors. It's not just one or the other.

They can call it whatever they want, but by setting up a "Unified Command" to handle crowd control at Broadview, the Cook County Sheriffs and the Illinois State Police are performing security work for ICE—something that is not supposed to happen in this state.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation. Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

A nation of 340 million people, and they honestly think everyone will just go along with this. The rest of the world already thinks Americans have main character syndrome. I'd also suggest that collectively, America is a sleeping giant that has never, ever been fully awakened... Stay woke.

❗ ABJECT CRUELTY & DEPRAVITY. In Chicago's South Shore, federal agents went after Black Americans--US citizens--& Venezuelan families. They dragged a 67 y/o American man outside, leaving him ziptied for hours. They dragged out Venezuelan families, some unclothed, separating parents & kids. @wbez.org

being nice to bugs is hot

That’s why I need to ask everyone in Illinois for a favor. Contact your elected officials TODAY and tell them to stand with the people — not ICE — for a press conference demanding transparency + legality this Friday at 1930 Beach Street, 9AM. Here’s a template: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Breaking News: The FDA approved a generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, expanding the supply at a time when the Trump administration is under pressure from abortion opponents to sharply restrict access to the pills.

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

I am in fact begging people to signal more virtue. That would slightly raise the net global virtue

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

On the Gaza flotilla live stream, one by one, boats are intercepted by IDF & blasted with water cannons until comms are jammed & the feed for each boat goes down. Israel is illegally kidnapping civilians on international waters, & they're preventing the world from witnessing.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

if they 'review' this like they did acetaminophen, (a word the president can neither say or spell, so he says Tylenol), we are fucked jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Farm fact: the South is famous for clayey red soil, but a lot of it is actually... sand. Like beach sand. See the yellow on the map here. Why? It IS beach sand. That's where the shoreline was during the Cretaceous.

apropos of nothing, wikipedia is a more objective and informative source about the gaza genocide than any major news outlet i can think of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_ge...

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

After Lahaina burned in August 2023, Hawaii invested in a modular home development, hoping to nurture community and leave behind permanent infrastructure.

unlike most of the people who signed onto this, Atsuko is actually really funny—and she has integrity!

Some say Charlie Kirk did Politics the right way, that he was an authoritative champion of free speech and discourse. Part of that “Politics” is a 1200-person Professor Watchlist that’s led to harassment, censoring, cancellation campaigns, and death threats.

As ICE continues to terrorize Chicagoland, protesters gathered this morning outside the Broadview detention center—throwing stuffed animals at DHS agents, playing music through tear gas assaults, and putting their bodies on the line to stop ICE vehicles. My latest.

Banded coral shrimp (Stenopus hispidus), hanging out on the underside of a ledge in Anilao. Gravity is more of a suggestion than a law when you're underwater :) Didn't see many of these in Anilao, although they're common as muck in the Caribbean. #MarineLife #Invertebrates 🌿

Thinking we need climate change tourism, people need to go visit the burnt husks of forests and see how the desert has become a landfill, see where the dams have turned rivers to dregs, where oil rigs transform oceans into sewers. I don't know how else most people will understand.

jfc why did no one ever tell me Peter Thiel is an anagram of The Reptile?? clearest proof yet we live in the Matrix
