"Antiwoke games media" is functionally just "my racist uncle works at Nintendo."

it’s all just a grift

This is why Americans think 29% of the US population is Asian

This is maybe the most insulting thing you could say about a human being lol

Hundreds of people arrested by ICE agents around Chicago over the past few months could be released, according to a new fed. ruling. |https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/08/100s-could-be-freed-from-ice-custody-after-ruling-that-warrantless-arrests-violated-consent-decree/

Have you seen 3D animations from the IDF showing secret Hamas hideouts? According to Israel's +972 magazine, many have "serious spatial inaccuracies or prefabricated assets—sourced not from classified intelligence but rather from commercial libraries, content creators, and cultural institutions."

so bluesky finally got some thiel money huh

Listen, I study witch hunts and y’all know what witch hunts were, right? They were abstract unregulated emotions disguised as social ills that relied entirely on manufactured and coerced accusations of an imaginary cabal doing imaginary crimes. This is true of every version of witch hunt.

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down. n.pr/3KIfcSn

It is the fervently held belief of every Christian Nationalist that Jesus was a pussy

Coming around to the theory that they're Truman Showing him

genuinely think they are feeding him AI videos

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

I think it plausible given how disconnected Trump is from reality that Stephen Miller is whispering all sorts of insane lies to him about how Chicago has fallen to antifa warriors, and Trump believes the stories because they make him feel important and victimized, his two favorite feelings.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

A violent MAGA extremist broke a journalists leg at ICE. He just got out of surgery. I do not get why the media ignores all the extreme violence on us. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMkgg33c/

who could forget when TFP published a totally dishonest hatchet job on a youth gender clinic from a bilious transphobe that (again) turned out to be bullshit, and she refused to take that down too prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

Judge Immergut isn’t playing around and I suspect will slam the Trump Administration for trying to end-run her order from yesterday blocking Trump’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard in Portland.

absolutely brutal

White House Struggling to Deny Stephen Miller Murdered Boats of Fisherman www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/03/w...

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

I mean I'm not sure you can use this argument when the ToS was changed explicitly to support not booting him lol.

Chicago has journalists. We and others have been documenting ICE attacks on our communities for months. If you're going to parachute in, the least you could do is acknowledge the work already being done here, and demonstrate care for the community being terrorized.

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration. @politico.com had a big piece about it.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

the mods of this place will strangle it to death trying to avoid it having the reputation it already has and unavoidably will always have

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

It's not new, but I do think we shrug it off a little more than we should

a lot of er doctors are immigrants. good luck not dying when they get deported

Fair play correcting the right wing journalist, but I have to confess it’s hard for me to enjoy a political culture whose main point of consensus is that it should be illegal to use federal funds to treat people who are injured or sick and happen to have the wrong immigration status.

"The ads are a lucrative part of Facebook’s advertising revenue that, the project’s researchers and others say, has led the company to turn a blind eye to a flood of low-quality or deceptive content, spam and in some cases outright fraud on the platform."

BREAKING: ADP report: number of jobs created in August was revised to -3,000 from 54,000

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

I asked the FBI to expedite the release of the tape of "border czar" Tom Homan being bribed. FBI said it couldn't see how there wasn't an urgent need to provide the public more information about (checks notes) an active federal official taking bribes and denied expedition of the request.

Exclusive: In the first half of the year, upheaval from the Trump administration’s foreign aid freeze delayed the delivery of hundreds of USAID shipments of antimalarial and HIV medical supplies to regional warehouses in dozens of countries. The consequences were deadly.

Is this not straight-forwardly a declaration of civil war?

This is a rapist telling the military that rape of military women is now permitted, as a policy

this guy has no idea what the american military is (the most sophisticated logistics operation ever assembled in human history)

It's enough to drive you insane watching the government constantly doing crimes and then calling a press conference to say "The real crime is when people say we're doing crimes, and we have to stop it"

“.. a fivefold increase in U.S.-based applicants seeking to relocate to European institutions ..” 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.eu/article/euro...

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

Yes.

This passage nearly broke me.

If you're cis, trans people are your coalmine canary for a collection of civil liberties. BODILY AUTONOMY: does your body belong to you, or to your parents/husband/state? PRIVACY: do you owe everyone you meet a full medical history? EXPRESSION: to what extent is your clothing a legal matter?

Please shut it down and become the most unpopular administration in US history because all of you have a super weird obsession with trans people that you desperately require to keep from facing the disgusting horror of your pedophilia.
