This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Oh, this is going to *thrill* Judge Friedman.

Tomorrow will be exactly 3 months since a reporter angered Trump by suggesting he might bore of his new war. Trump claimed he “never gets bored” before meandering into talking about his ballroom. Now he says negotiations are “very boring.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

given some of these attorneys are long-time DOJ veterans, such trust was never warranted

never ceases to amaze how often corporate leadership measures the wrong thing and incentivizes the wrong behaviors. all that $ spent on management but they can’t think two steps ahead about how human nature works.

Videos shared publicly online yesterday show federal agents (at least two marked ICE) arresting one man on the grounds of the Kane County, IL Sheriff's Office (one rapid response group reported 2 detentions). The facility shares grounds with the Kane County Jail & Kane County Judicial Center.

“At any point, any of us could have taken a deal… And none of us did.” 'Broadview Six' defendants reflect on a case doomed by apparent misconduct by prosecutors: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

What. No. How could have anyone have known that all this corporate media talk about there being an imminent deal was all horseshit market manipulation. I'm stunned. Stunned. You have to be kidding.

here’s a recent example: remember the car crash into City News @ Six Corners a few weeks ago? this is what cpd told media. In reality, cops pursued this car for about a mile, and the car had not been reported stolen at all. Cops woke up the car owner after the crash and then it was reported stolen.

NEW: The Chicago police officer who punched a 17-year-old in August 2019 in what investigators ruled was an unjustified use of excessive force and called a Black man who was filming the altercation “boy” will not be fired, according to documents obtained by @wttw.bsky.social news.

good article, shout-out to time for putting an AI ask me anything bar over it

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

Greg Bovino and the head of New York's Young Republicans were in Portugal this weekend for a neo-fascist summit on ethnic cleansing. So why didn't the press cover it? My latest for @theredoubt.net, on extremism, antisemitism and media double standards: www.theredoubt.net/why-did-the-...

“Government stats say incomes after adjusting for inflation are now declining YoY. What do you say to that?” “Well, it’s true, but/and partly because we have reduced incomes for people by cutting their social programs.” Not a mystery why Trump’s approval on the economy is -50

“The attack brings the death toll to 205”

We're told that Trump's fund is terrible because money will go to people "who assaulted police officers." This is the frame of every single Democratic politician. It's the only legible critique they levy.

I recently heard an ad from one of the AI vendors, maybe Google, that was basically “are you embarrassed to talk to your doctor? ask our AI instead for answers about your health,” and we’re going to see so many bad outcomes and lawsuits.

One of the stories in this article that will never leave my mind is the story of Dajaun Gates, who died in the back of a Forest Park police car just feet away from hospital doors. A lawsuit alleges Miller believed Gates was faking his medical emergency and taunted him as he died.

your moment of zen (bunch of baby geese come ashore and shake, shake it off at LaBagh Woods)

to protect our people from the violent federal paramilitary forces, we’re deploying our police to preemptively beat and arrest our people before the Feds get a chance is like something you’d read in Catch-22

sounds like some kind of prosecutorial shell game

We're constantly told that the reason MPD can't recruit is because leftists and commie Council Members aren't nice to them and don't praise them enough...... But what if it's because the Chief hits on recruits then has his bagman strongarm them after?? www.startribune.com/ex-chief-bri...

Far from the worst thing we found while reporting on Lt. Daniel Miller, this complaint from a white man stood out as a particularly insidious way for Miller to push his apparent ideology: sorry man I have to give you this ticket because DEI. This stop also was not in his jurisdiction.

Update: The White House—which originally claimed not to have received our questions for two hours ("It seems like your email is having some problems")—suddenly updated the site to remove rows mentioning Americans. But in the process seems to have deleted over 200,000 arrests from their dataset.

Significant development on $1.8 billion fund: Federal court responds favorably to motion by 35 former federal judges. Their motion asked court reopen the case to see whether a fraud was perpetrated on the court to effectuate the "settlement." Judge responds⤵️

this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen... so I had to watch the whole thing. unbelievably, there's even more. if you start at the 2:25 mark you can skip serious people to get to this guy and another. kudos to this reporter for somehow maintaining a straight face throughout.

This resembles the same play IL authorities made re: the Broadview ICE facility last year. Fearing escalation by the Trump admin (not without cause tbf), state & local officials decided to use state & local cops to effectively guard the facility, purportedly to protect people and their 1A rights.

you have to upload a govt ID to get a Google Voice # now? gtfoh

Bovino announced his attendance with a post echoing the manifestos of the mass shooters who attacked the mosque in San Diego, the El Paso Walmart shooter, and the Christchurch killer. This is the man who the Trump admin put in charge of immigration enforcement. It’s no wonder people died.

Someone asked me the other day, “If Trump can just do whatever he wants, then a Democratic president can too. why is Medicare for All impossible? Why are reparations impossible? Why is anything off the table?”

Minnesota keeps doing things that Illinoisans are repeatedly told are impossible

BREAKING: Organizers of a neo-Nazi summit on "remigration" just revealed that Gregory Bovino is their special guest star this weekend in Portugal: www.theredoubt.net/afd-republic...

Really disgusting stuff. The ongoing escalation of already pervasive quotidian police violence in this country is terrifying.

We found Miller's name linked to another death in suburban Oak Park. He was one of several officers who allegedly taunted Dajuan Gates as he lay dying in the back of a police vehicle just feet away from an emergency department. Miller and the other cops ignored his pleas for help:

According to state records, Miller is the owner of the Stars and Stripes Sports Lounge, a sports bar in Indian Head Park, as well as Roselli’s Pizza Parlor, which sits next door. This is what his Jeep looks like when fully decked out:

NEW, from @zoetakaki.bsky.social & @peoplesfabric.bsky.social: A Forest Park cop won't be charged by North Riverside police over an incident captured on video where, while off duty and wearing a Trump jersey, he yanked a terrified young woman from her car and arrested her—for hitting a curb.

Hadn't checked in on SSTI's stock in a while... down almost 81% from when Brandon Johnson was elected mayor.

DOD sent me a response to a story yesterday, but it made literally no sense. And this morning wrote: "I apologize for confusing your email with the Dell contract announcement." And it took me several minutes before I got what happened.

A golden age for rocket explosion videos

Great piece from @dell.bsky.social on how the military has known about this problem for years: www.wired.com/story/the-pe...

damn even bret michaels wants nothing to do with this

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

a federal jury in washington found three people guilty of conspiracy for participating in a protest during which demonstrators attempted to stop ice from abducting two people from the spokane field office. they face up to six years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

This carefully worded statement is consistent with subsequent reporting that Boutros is actually investigating Reid Hoffman’s charity.

New statement from Boutros: “The Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office can confirm that it has not opened—and has never opened—a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll. Any claim to the contrary is categorically false.”

I can confirm that Da Pope got a Pope Chicago shirt! Big thanks to Mishkan for bringing it all the way to the Vatican. #chicago
