A time to reap and a time to whatever.

This thread. Let's make sure LCRW gets some hazard pay for going on this journey so we wouldn't have to!

Technologically advance a band: Bruce Aqueductsteen and the E Street Band

again, for those just learning about Turning Point USA recently, I’ve covered them and their events for years as they live in my backyard and have consistently hurt the communities I love so ⬇️

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.

This must not be allowed to continue

Great story by my colleagues on the constant political realignment of Grok, the generative AI chatbot over on the other site. This change to Grok’s answer about the greatest threat to Western civilization is particularly ironic/meta. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

Trans people: can we have rights? Conservatives: no because we're killing you. Centrists: No because you're the reason we can't have unity in this country. Liberals: No and this is why we have Trump, because you're so selfish. Leftists: No because we have to focus on real problems first.

The federal government has made it a more difficult climate for orgs like ours to fundraise, so I really can’t express enough how grateful I am for your contributions.

The Islamophobic biker gang running Gaza aid sites is just the U.S. empire in a leather jacket mondoweiss.net/2025/09/the-...

Fucking incredible to lose to a sundowning racist gameshow host, one of the most humiliating political defeats in American history, and then put out a book like "no no no, you guys got it all wrong, I hate trans people too!"

We're calling it a night. People continue to peel off. A protester tells us there were six of them total taken, at least one with a head injury. We heard about but can't verify other reports of injuries at this time. Expect some kind of update in the morning.

It's amazing. This crop is, too. @staceywescott.bsky.social (If anyone needs alt-text on mobile, btw, feel free to edit mine down if you want. I'm at my actual keyboard today.)

Crowd out here is chanting, "say his name! Silverio!" ICE agents shot and killed Mexican immigrant Silverio Villegas González during a jump out traffic stop a few miles up the road in Franklin Park last Friday.

Feds just fired a tremendous amount of pepper balls at Reverend David Black, a regular protester here. A number of them hit him in the face and head.

Graciela is here. That's it, gang. We love it.

I needed this cackle so dang bad, Kyle.

There’s been a court order to release him from detention since July, too.

Happy National Tradesperson Day! America’s unions celebrate the incredible skilled trades workers who build and maintain our communities. Thank you for your expertise and hard work that powers our country and makes us strong!

JESUS: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani CHATGPT: you’re completely right. And I want to thank you for holding me accountable. It looks like you’ve somehow got nailed to a cross

Broadview, IL - The crowd assembled outside of Broadview Detentiom Center getting chemical munitions from federal authorities as a white can leaves the facility. At least two arrest. (1)

ICE pepper sprayed civilians & reporters outside of a facility near Chicago being used for detention. This is another dangerous escalation of violence against our rights. Our community will not be silenced and will not back down.

Some people out here come with bags of clothing and paperwork to drop off to those detained inside the Broadview ICE facility outside of Chicago. But there’s no drop off information or instructions. When they knock on the boarded-up door, no one answers. 📸: The TRiiBE

It's almost like we should listen to and center the most vulnerable instead?? And then when they are, inevitably, correct, we can say, "Thank God we listened, and tried to address the needs of everyone."

my wife finishes buckling my tear gas bandolier and kisses me sadly on the cheek. I hug my children. They don't know if I'll even be coming back to read them a bedtime story on any given day. It's the danger inherent to my job: finding the smallest woman I can and hurling her across a paved road

Let's go

Been thinking about the way gAI is being sold to us is as the universal tool, a kind of Swiss Army Knife—especially in higher ed. What might have a use in Compsci doesn’t have a use/is harmful in the humanities and arts, and there is something coercive about how it’s being forced on us regardless.

outside the detention/“processing” facility in broadview, illinois: a crowd of protesters, some of whom showed up before 5 am, is heckling ice agents arriving to work. a few minutes ago, special response team agents came out to push protesters away from the driveway. pepper balls already flying.

“Being cruel and competent is beyond them. Being benign and stupid is beyond them. Their only talent is being cruel and stupid.” The fascists are detaining people in camps without due process… and then they’re losing them. More than 1,000 detainees have disappeared.

Please, share, boost and donate if you can. I truly appreciate that: gofund.me/509607f80

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

babies learning to walk look like they’re doing a mean impression of a grown up

Saw this and literally forgot it happened.

Notably, third pic, man on the right is violent (to smaller people) neonazi David Willis who claimed to be affiliated with Portland bonehead gang East Side White Pride. He’s a sorry ass coward.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

Surprise! @punknews.bsky.social has an exclusive premier of my new album, AMAB/ACAB, which means you can go listen a whole day early. And I chatted with @emmoore.bsky.social about each song. The record is out everywhere tmw via @getbetterrecords.bsky.social !!! www.punknews.org/article/8655...

And that's why you should always register for a protest.

I was just going to say! Cancel your trips to Disney. 1000%

The family of Trey Reed is seeking an independent autopsy following the Delta State University student’s death on Monday, when his body was found hanging in a tree on campus.

This is the stupidest I think it has ever felt to just be going to work every day

HAPPENING NOW: Rep. @jayapal.house.gov hosts a shadow hearing to delve deeper into the cases of those lawlessly disappeared as well as the economic impacts of mass deportation.

two people stopped to document ice agents who'd pulled over a work van near grand/kostner in humboldt park around 6:30 this morning. that's when they say ice agents blocked in their car, threatened them with arrest if they didn't stay put, and took photos/videos of them and their car.

Oh, I get it. My bingo card was on earth. I needed a bingo card from another world.

If you're mostly listening to white voices, you're not going to have an accurate read on what's going on in the US.
