FRANK BOOTH: straight from my heart, fucker! You know what a love letter is? It's a bullet from a fucking gun, fucker! CHATGPT: Wow! 🤯 that was a really passionate statement! You clearly have thought deeply about what love means!

We've found DHS is giving local cops a new facial recognition app to find immigrants. Point camera at face, tells the cop to detain person or not. The app is available on Google's Play Store. Google took down apps that report ICE sightings but now hosts this app www.404media.co/cbp-quietly-...

Sooooo choice!

BREAKING NEWZ: Ho ho ho…we’ve done it again! Xmas in October? At Nisei Lounge? You can bet your sweet jingle balls on that! And if you know another Chicago bar pouring @GLBC_Cleveland Christmas Ale on…checks notes…October 24th we’d love to meet them…and ask “Why?” 🎅🍻

Our community is being ravaged by violent secret police with the judicial branch being our only defense and our Senior Senator is voting confirming the President’s judicial nominees. During a government shutdown. While the speaker of the house refuses to swear in a Democratic house member. Dick.

Several states are warning they’ll soon no longer be able to fund SNAP & WIC programs so people can buy food, but Republicans have ensured the uninterrupted flow of tools of mass death.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

The best time to push back on expansion of the state surveillance apparatus was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

In 1983, 90% of U.S. media was owned by 50 companies. By 2012, that number was 6. Today, it's just 5. Decades of media consolidation made it "a lot easier for authoritarian government to exercise control," consumer advocate Gigi Sohn says. Much more in my new piece: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

NBC has a show via The Office about newspapers and my rage is white hot

The baseball/college intelligentsia now blaming schools for being punished by the current US admin. You love to see it.

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

It's curious how Rupert Murdoch and son's repeated secretive meetings with JD Vance, like this one in Montana, get huge coverage in London tabloids, but aren't reported or talked about at all in US media. Why is that? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If you use imported materials, this is 💯 what is about to happen. Domestically produced materials are 3x the cost, so it’s either raise the price or shut down.

Every author who says “My article about a 19th century event is relevant today” is criminally out of touch with the current environment. What a privilege to navel gaze. Hi correlation reported amongst baseball posters.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

I suspect many American institutions--law firms, universities, the news media, the Republican Party--were more susceptible to authoritarian takeover than was expected because they were already so dependent on the largess of billionaires. If you depend on oligarchy, you can't fight for democracy.

After seeing all the posts about Ozzy’s farewell show, I decided to listen to Blizzard of Ozz this weekend. Then I listened to it twice more and contemplated a world w/o him. I did not think it would be this soon. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

great synopsis.
