The fact that this bitch mentally relives the milkshake incident every day makes me happy

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

I don't think they should be allowed to do that

Navy Federal and USAA banks are opening personal loan applications to customers who won’t receive paychecks if gov doesn’t reopen by 15th. But that’s dependent on credit check and applying will ding credit.

If Taylor Swift propaganda keeps the lights on for the rest of the crew to do real journalism, that is a price I am willing to pay

I know this sounds extreme. It is. I know I sound overly alarmist. I don't think I am. Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever. But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

genuinely think they are feeding him AI videos

We must all stand up and speak out.

Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers. Invading our state with military troops. Sending in war helicopters in the middle of the night. Arresting elected officials asking questions.

His masked agents already are grabbing people off the street. Separating children from their parents. Creating fear. Taking people for “how they look.”

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Part of the big problem we’re facing now (or will be soon) in America is simply that when everything is a joke, nothing can be serious. It’s pretty obvious through actions and words that the current administration and their deputies do not believe that there will be another transfer of power that…

The government is shooting priests in the head with pepper balls. I feel like this is a kitchen table issue.

Here’s video of the incident

Her contempt is extraordinary. Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people. And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

Pay phone sign. Gas prices below 2 dollars. Blatantly outdated MP uniforms. Winchell’s logo out of date. The eye struggles to find a single item in this photo that doesn’t look out of place in 2025. Even the humvee looks old.

Gun safety is a myth.

The funny thing about this is that it overwhelmingly says that the Democrats message on the shutdown is the correct and accurate one. You can tell this by how many times she qualifies her stance as AMERICA ONLY trying to hit the right buzzwords to mitigate the inevitable fallout on the right.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Lol

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

God Bless THIS America and THIS America only

what the fuck is going on

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

He sounds weak, scared and pathetic.

Change in Headline

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Please amplify this demand. We need y'all. I was there. We were not in the road. ICE simply let loose on us to film themselves brutalizing and arresting protesters—and state police assisted them. They brought charges against scattered people to create a pretext for this inexcusable violence.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

I really enjoy the Halo show

A shift is slowly but surely happening here. Could we actually get a real opposition party?

This is a step in the right direction for Democrats. Chris, if you do read this, my one piece of advice is to skip ahead to the stiffest spine you can find right now. For all of our sake.

The agent who said this deserves no prosperity or peace afforded to them by this great Nation. I’m just angry all the time about this shit now.

If you work in cybersecurity or have even the most remote understanding of the field, it is hard to exaggerate how bad this is. Unobservable takeover access to any and all applications associated with the product. What the fuck???

New from 404 Media: Apple just removed ICEBlock, the app for reporting sightings of ICE, from its App Store after DOJ pressure. ICEBlock's developer tells me "we are determined to fight this." "Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move." www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

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...

what a fucking loser

The shame may very well never wash clean.

Seems embarrassing idk

“Unfortunately our foreign adversaries are NOT playing nice here. Really uncool of China, man.”

The nation yearns for emancipation, and Illinois again hears the call.

They can feel fear.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

If only they had a fucking spine and didn’t put him in power. But hey, they changed their minds in time right???
