New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4. One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

finally got something new painted up. am very pleased with how this IWM falconer came out. did some experimenting with simple NMM which felt perfect for this project #battletech #minipainting

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

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

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

"Those radicals you've been told to find loud, 'unreasonable' and annoying keep consisently being correct, so maybe this should finally prompt some rethinking of your assumptions" remains undefeated.

My expectations were pretty low, but god damn are the Democrats good at Limbo

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Democratic leadership: YOU MUST VOTE HARDER. Democratic voters: VOTE SUPER HARD IN MASSIVE NUMBERS AND FLIP SEATS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY Democratic leadership: WE’RE CAVING. LULZ.

What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

New awareness campaign

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

lol get beaned dipshit

I've been using Linux Mint for a week now, and while it still has some frustrating issues (my printer doesn't work, some games are unstable), I'm willing to put up with a lot to not be yoked to Microsoft's bullshit anymore

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

mfs be like "you can't be purity testing we need a big tent" and the "purity test" is minorities objecting people who are trying to toss them out of the tent

EMS called to ICE facility bc protestor has broken collar bone (!). ICE agents then refuse to let EMS ambulance leave. EMS driver puts ambulance in park, which makes the vehicle lurch slightly. ICE agent then get up into the cab threatening to shoot driver in the head www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

I've been kind of nervous to post my Battletech fan designs, but I'm kind of feeling it tonight - so have the Einbora and the Kodanda. Both are heavy snipers, though the Kodanda is a bit slower and has the benefit of stealth armor.

So many folks throwing “radical anarchists” under the bus as talking points to show they’re the good guys, while they love the projects we do to support communities.

New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses. “Mexican Cartels hmu [hit me up] we dropping all the doxes wheres my 1m [1 million].” www.404media.co/hackers-dox-...

"What are you gonna do, set me on fire?"

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal

Your Nationalism is not Antifa. Winston Churchill was not Antifa. General Patton was not Antifa. Your favorite Nationalist was not Antifa. That’s literally the point. rt to spread awareness.

The only thing I'm truly, unqualified nostalgic for is $0.25 buffalo wings, why the fuck are wings $20 per dozen now? Why did we allow this to happen?

How the media are gaslighting trans people

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

just don’t create a moderation list, bluesky said that’s bad

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.
