Either this ends with some sort of truth and reconciliation process where a very large number of people go to prison for a very long time or we will take a short pause and then start doing it again, but worse.

All my life I was told I was Jewish, I was stopped by Hasids on the streets asking me to wrap Tefillin, I was invited to Jewish holidays from strangers, etc. The ONLY time I’ve been told I’m NOT a real Jew is when I criticize Israel. Go fuck yourself Alex

What do these corporate donors expect in return for their money? It looks like bribery for special favors from the Trump administration.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

A very disturbing video has emerged from today’s ICE/CBP operations in Avondale. An officer pushes a woman to the ground, prompting bystanders to react angrily and throw what appears to be a rock at a moving unmarked vehicle. This seems to be the new normal in Chicago.

these guys are just universally loathed

He’s designing the ballroom with AI isn’t he www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

this is worth seven minutes of your time. i've never been prouder to give somebody my vote

they’re playing for custody of the color blue

Might be the most vacuous person of the last decade. An empty vessel for lobbyist cash.

Former US Sen. Kyrsten Sinema lobbies for data center developer at Chandler AZ Plan Commission. Says she's working "hand in glove" w Trump Admin & warns city to embrace DCs or face federal intervention. City Council vote on Sinema's DC scheduled for Nov. 13.

lol this cop pissed himself

@evolvingwild.evolving-hockey.com The Buffalo Sabres Are Currently In A Playoff Spot

The Atlantic division, just like everyone predicted

ALEX TUCH‼️‼️

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

The Buffalo Sabres logo is a Buffalo and two Sabres.

So Cuomo campaign folks are just retweeting conservative attacks on the No Kings Day protests now

"A D.C. police report described Norton, 88, as having the 'early stages of dementia,' and said Norton has a caretaker with power of attorney." www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/d...

Again, please send @heartlandsignal.bsky.social tips chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Looks like a PC Gamer feature on different enemy types

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

88-year-old congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton is suffering from dementia, says police report filed after she was allegedly scammed out of $4,400

she's running for reelection btw

every member of congress over age 80 should have to testify under oath whether they've given anyone power of attorney

Reminder that three members of Congress have died in office this year (all Democrats, all 70+)

It takes the sting out of the police coming to your school and zip tying your dad to send him to a camp in El Salvador if you can see his face and ID.

Breaking: The Department of Justice announced it will "monitor polling sites in six jurisdictions [in New Jersey and California] ahead of the upcoming November 4, 2025, general election to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law." www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Just when I think this particular story can’t get any more enraging

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay. Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Ed Luce watching democracy die in the United States of America

im sorry but if you think “normies” dont care about the white house being demolished for a half billion dollar golden vanity ballroom as the economy implodes then you just arent as plugged in as you think you are

There are so many points in this Golden Age of Scamming where I get a tinge in my system now and then, a dark wish that I had the cunning and amorality to get in on the grift like this. Because god, this is SO EASY. This isn't shooting fish in a barrel, this is blowing up the barrel with C4.

Thinking that kids didn’t used to get sick in the past and that we live in an age of unusually ill children may be the wrongest belief in the entire canon of extremely wrong conservative beliefs

Hard times create democrats Democrats create good times Good times create republicans Republicans create hard times

a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

The conditions at the Broadview ICE facility are getting worse. This is why we keep coming back. Our neighbors are not alone. You can join us in demanding transparency + accountability at 1930 Beach Street.

I’ve been telling everyone that you’re a cunt and have yet to hear from you either

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.
