As long as ICE exists, there are no good options here.

The best "defense" of SCOTUS' hypocrisy is that there's an asymmetry between how Democrats and Republicans wield executive power. Broadly—Dems want to give things (health care, asylum, foreign aid, loan relief, civil rights) while Republicans want to take things away. SCOTUS makes the latter easier.

Taylor won’t see your mean posts but your 35 year old billionaire friends who write ass lyrics will :/

NYT's Ezra Klein: Taylor Swift's Album Is Good, Actually

a taylor swift album so bad it got me revisiting brat

im going to go even further and say, there's a certain bravery being shown by msnbc, or some of the bro podcasters expressing doubt about this. more than others! i would resist any instinct to dismiss or chastise people as they show signs of coming around. we're gonna need every body we can get

-Obsessed with conflict -Riven by petty grievances -Likes football Welcome back Richard Nixon

I like a number of songs on the new TS album, but there’s just no getting around the fact that it’s hilarious to fall deeply in love with Travis Kelce. It couldn’t be funnier if you wrote a set of romantic pop-ballads about Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

oh the border patrol accomplished this bit of work with the help of a kavanaugh stop www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/29/i...

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Short-form social media:

Can’t stop, won’t stop when it comes to the NFL’s field goal block fest. The Bears are 2-2.

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out. They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

I see the tired scolds have already started posting “oh that’s nice you got Kimmel back, if only all of you cared about (this thing that is way more important)” these people are wrong on many counts

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

What this says to me is: 1) PROTEST WORKS. Pritzker and everyday Chicagoans effectively repelled the threat, at least for now. 2) They are weakened. Afaik it's the first time he's seriously threatened to do this in a GOP governor state. Which tells me they're feeling less confident facing off

I’m also fairly sure Klein didn’t write anything like this after the assassination of multiple Dem politicians in Minnesota. I’m not saying this as a gotcha, but rather the show the implicit assumption of our discourse, which is that Right Wing violence is to be expected, and thus tacitly accepted.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

He has the juice.

Anyone talk about how MTV was a generational miscalculation? They stopped airing videos to dedicate themselves to making stars out of Snookie and Johnny Bananas, but people didn’t stop wanting videos. the thirst for videos is so insatiable YouTube music videos get billions of views

The media gave Biden more shit for pulling US troops out of Afghanistan than they have given Trump for putting US troops in American cities.

Last week was so fun when we thought he was dead

This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

A big problem in liberal circles is that liberals don't think they represent any real voters regardless of how many people vote for them

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

societies used to have respectable reasons for crumbling. famine, plague. crop failure and mass starvation. honest, hard-working disasters you could wrap your head around. but this!

If the Taylor be Swift, it’s a real gift If the Taylor be Lorenz, get better friends

They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens

every discussion about whether we should prioritize urban wellbeing over rural wellbeing has to start with an acknowledgment that the primary reason we are having the discussion at all is because the representatives of rural americans are forcing us to

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

“The new @lindsayellis.bsky.social video has everything: Analysis of pre-K children’s entertainment, doomsday cults, digressions about Andrew Lloyd Webber, Rwandan genocide—“

your gym teacher and your english teacher are getting married

i don't really have the emotional bandwidth to engage with this right now so i'm just going to say that we don't have to put up with this as a society. if the rules don't let us make it illegal, we can change the rules. this should not exist.

PHOEBE BRIDGERS: it feels like you played a lot more two-high last year STEVE SPAGNUOLO: that's right, phoebe

taylor swift's engagement is a distraction from the real issues, like The Federal Reserve being a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity that follows in the distinct historical tradition of the First and Second Banks of the United States.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

One of my most moral panic style opinions is the use of “NPC” as a slur is a symptom of a societal sociopathy epidemic.

Like if you don't think centrists use their own impenetrable jargon that nobody likes then I have a commonsense bipartisan opportunity economy where existential threats to fair trade are a national security threat to sell you
