There's a bigger play going on here. Slumlords coordinating with ICE to roust tenants, steal or destroy their stuff, damage the building so its uninhabitable. All to trigger legal expedited evictions, make insurance claims, and then sell to developers. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

A lot of these people will now wind up unhoused. And then they'll be criminalized for living on the street. It's a slow-walked genocide of the poor.

There's a bigger story at play here. Landlords using ICE to roust tenants & intentionally damage, destroy or disappear their property, damaging the bldg. (already in poor shape) so it's unliveable, and then..............insurance claims & sales to developers.

The media will use any excuse to shush champions of human rights while lionising the Zionist regime. It's very conspicuous that they cover only one side of every story. https://novaramedia.com/2025/04/07/ten-brits-accused-of-war-crimes-in-gaza-including-killing-civilians/

Secret Agent’s Back’s Always Been A Bit Hinky Ever Since He Burst Through That Skylight And Landed In Fountain https://theonion.com/secret-agent-s-back-s-always-been-a-bit-hinky-ever-sinc-1819575630/

From @byjustinmiller.bsky.social: Two days after Kirk’s murder, the Texas House speaker and lieutenant governor announced a select committee on Civil Discourse & Freedom of Speech in Higher Education, an Orwellian title for a body to ostensibly oversee two recently enacted laws policing speech.

BREAKING: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said the Defense Department plans to deploy 300 National Guard troops in the state over his objection.

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Police in Georgia used water cannons and pepper spray on Saturday to push back protesters who tried to storm the presidential palace, as the South Caucasus country held a municipal election boycotted by the main opposition blocs amid a sweeping crackdown on dissent.

As Utah families welcomed children in the 1970s and ’80s, many lived near refineries and manufacturers that were releasing toxins.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

This Sunday, we’re SHREDDING 🎸 Join me (or someone who looks a lot like me) at one of two locations to safely dispose of old bills, bank statements and documents you no longer need. + DJs, family portraits and frozen treats. 12-3pm in Harlem and the Bronx. Details in the video ⬇️

i just can’t get over ICE going into the streets of the city i live in, throwing gas at citizens, invading people who live here. this is state sponsored terrorism being enacted on americans

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

They want to weaponize the military against citizens. How 'bout you career generals use that same weaponization in a Coup d'etat against the trump "Administration?" OUST trump and his F(kkk)ing crew! Other Banana Republics OVERTHROW the Villainous 'Tards(B) holding their countries down. Just Do It!!

Honestly I'm tired of unnamed lawyers being upset that their firms capitulated, federal prosecutors concerned about the politicization of DOJ, and reporters dismayed that their media owners are capitulating to Trump. Either do something or accept that you watched democracy collapse and did nothing.

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Nashville ruled that the Department of Justice’s criminal case against Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be a form of punishment against him for legally challenging his abrupt removal to an El Salvador megaprison earlier this year.

"Federal agents detained four children who are U.S. citizens during an ICE raid this week in South Shore." "These were families with their children escorted out in the middle of the night." #Illinois #USA #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

I, for one, think it is wrong to feed one's children to the Torment Nexus

every single ice agent deserves to spend the rest of their life in prison

This guy is so fucking stupid, man. This is straight up caveman wisdom

The idea of jerking off, simple. ACTUALLY jerking off?!

only a true visionary would know that "doing things" is harder than "thinking about doing things"

welcome to the Resistance, psychotically violent fascists who tear gas children

I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources." Oracle is about to own TikTok.

"Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities." 31 USC 5114(b)

This regime can’t stand to be laughed at. They can’t stand to be the butt of a joke because the moment we’re able to laugh at them, their fragile ego begins to crumble. @nowthisimpact.bsky.social

This is why they always go after comedians & other artists first, art exposes them in ways courts and institutions no longer can. When every other court is under their control, the court of public opinion is the last one left. It’s our job to keep it alive, to keep resisting.

A little about Kat: She’s fought for years pushing back against corporate overreach as both a union rep and independent journalist. Now, she’s running for Congress with that same energy. Unlike other candidates Kat’s showing up to talk with us, not at us. Come be part of the conversation.

There are 340 million of us. Time to get to work!

But we have to keep the pressure up! If you live in Illinois, PLEASE contact your leaders and ask them to stand with the people instead of ICE. Here’s a template: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
