We all watched the video, Stephen.

Listen to this fucking Nazi piece of shit say “we’re doing a citizen check,” like that is an acceptable thing for a fourth-grade-educated white pig incel to be asking anyone in this country. And yeah, this woman is a hero.

it's so weird that there are still people who defend chuck schumer on here so many "we don't have any power, what do you expect him to do" and "we've tried absolutely nothing strategically unique and are all out of ideas" type of folks who seem extremely happy to wallow in powerlessness

Keep Resisting Chicago! At Wilson and Sawyer -an hour ago. 10/12/25

Just as I was heading out to collect ballot signatures for my state senator, my phone blew up warning that ICE was in my area, right around the corner from a friend’s house, throwing tear gas and kidnapping at least one person.

This is what we’re dealing with here. It’s horrifying.

Everyone, no matter where you live, should read this piece about the feds terrorizing an entire building in the middle of the night. None of us are safe. They don't care about the constitution.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

This is morally repulsive, and actually more laudatory of violence.

This, along with his anti-trans statements, is completely disqualifying. Yes, it was fun to watch Gavin troll Trump, but I will never take him seriously.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

🤬What Happens Next If Abbott signs, abortion meds could stop being shipped into Texas, miscarriage patients will face dangerous delays, and anyone who so much as Googles how to help could become a legal target. And in Texas, that’s the point: terror by design. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.

Cleanse your timeline with the most wholesome Velvets cover ever. Worth watching all the way through.

Here's an extreme example of the reality that there is no absolute scarcity, only distribution politics. In Gaza created as a tool of genocidal war. But the same is true of almost all human needs, including housing here in the USA.

I animated it with the laptop touchpad. Those murderers don’t deserve quality.

Alligator Alcatraz from within

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.

THAT MOTHERFUCKER.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

Leave comments NOW, folks. The Department of Energy has issued a "direct final rule" that will eliminate the requirement that new buildings constructed with federal funds to be accessible to people with disabilities. Biff Photo for the algorithm gods. www.regulations.gov/document/DOE...

“Kind of evil”. JFC

I think most of the people insisting it's "good" that Albrego Garcia is being brought back to face BS charges are just defending the initial reactions they voiced without clicking the link.

I should be in bed, but I’m making this instead.

All of these Republican reps promised to protect Medicaid and are up for re-election next year. Flood their phones and mailboxes. (tip: they are required to log every single piece of mail, so actual mail is more reliable than email, which ends up in spam most of the time.)

As Kara says, "Please remember that these assholes walk stuff back when they get too much pushback, so PUSHBACK HARD."

Can’t get through to your senators? Afraid that your emails will end up unread in a spam folder? Send them an actual letter! They are required to log it. You'll feel like somebody’s angry grandma, but when you’re done you can have some coffee cake and watch PBS. media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2l...

I struggle with the reporting on ChatGPT in education because it often confirms society’s negative bias against young people—oh no, this generation is unsaveable!—when it’s possible to just educate people to be less credulous about it. which is why I wrote this: so teachers could print and assign it

During Phnom Penh’s hot season, as many as 15 employees a month became too weak to work at one Nike factory, a medical worker said. At other times of year, 8-10 workers a month wound up in the clinic because they felt weak, she said. By @robwdavis.bsky.social

I've seen far too many people responding to the NIH autism registry idea by pointing out that medical registries are normal and can be valuable, which would be a valid point if it wasn't being proposed by an unscientific, eugenicist administration looking to do a sham study about autism.

Do it.

A few favorite signs from yesterday’s march in Chicago

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.
