THE FUCKING SUPREME COURT USED IT'S POWER TO HELP THE PRESIDENT BLOCK POOR PEOPLE FROM GETTING FOOD. That's how it's going here in the US.

I admire his honesty in this case but I do not love it when the president's closest economic adviser fails to predict the massive negative impact of the administration's policy choices

My right eye has been twitching for a WEEK. Someone deliver me from the stress.

You really do have to be willing to be part of making the thing that you say other people must make or do. That's just basic at this point. [feel free to rage about this on your own timeline not in my mentions]

Ready girls?

Bovino already violating the judge's injunction.

FULL STORY: Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and its suburbs, lied about firing tear gas at protesters in Little Village and tackling a man outside the Broadview ICE facility, a federal judge said Thursday. @wttw.bsky.social

Here's how bad it is: Americans have to go to court to try to stop the president from taking food away from poor people.

I have to emphasize that I've been working on my presentation about Big Tech and AI's Impact on Mental Health for a few weeks but every time I think I'm done there is another suicide involving AI, another study showing cognitive degeneration or another data breach. It is non-stop destruction.

Someone gift link me this article so I can add it to my presentation. BTW the answer is No & we have known this. The scope & ability for "AI therapy" bots is a) very small and b) very unstable. My talk on Big Tech, AI and Mental Health is next week. Yes I will try to get the recording released.

Gosh.... now I feel like I should go get a sandwich

I appeal to you, my brothers — I am a university graduate in Gaza, and my father is elderly and suffers from heart disease. There is no work in Gaza for me to afford his treatment. Please, I beg you — the cost of his medicine is $500. chuffed.org/project/azez

BREAKING: A man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington, D.C., is found not guilty of assault.

This—agents driving around in circles and provoking the community—has gone on for hours at this point with no discernible goal other than to inflict terror. They also just fired pepper balls at someone.

new: at least 26 unhoused chicagoans have been abducted since the start of "operation midway blitz." the full scope of people disappeared is likely much larger but is obscured by heavy criminalization, social stigma, and fewer eyes and phones around to bear witness. via @katieprout.bsky.social

Once again showing that these things are totally possible. But here in the US we choose to starve people and let them freeze to death because food and heat are too expensive.

Seeing this bubble grow from the front row and yelling into the void as we head towards 2008 part deux is making me lose my mind.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection. The arrest reportedly took place in front of children. 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil...

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Chicagoans chanting, "no ICE! No ICE!"

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

These fuckers don't even acknowledge nor understand the danger of the CHEMICAL WEAPONS they are firing in neighborhoods and near schools. Disgusting ignorant malicious bigots. Anyone who can't/won't understand the dangers of a weapon shouldn't have access to it.

Target, who openly fucked over black & queer people for a few bucks, is offering a Thanksgiving meal for 4 people for $20. Aldi, who pays employees well and hasn't given a red cent to Trump or various PACS, has a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people for $40. It's not a hard choice. FUCK Target.

A photojournalist was arrested by ICE at gunpoint — and his DACA status revoked. “Ya’akub isn’t being accused of breaking immigration law — his DACA protection doesn’t expire until May 2026. In fact Ya’akub’s lawyers say he hasn’t been accused of any crime.” thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/04/h...

As many eyes will be on court downtown today, there are early indications ICE may be active in this area again. Agents reportedly snatched a daycare worker in Roscoe Village this morning.

50% in a 4 way race PLUS passing 1 million votes were BOTH campaigns goals. Even people who weren't privy to the inside organizing knew both of these things because they were publicly articulated. They hit both goals.

Turns out a lot of Americans understand that trans people aren’t the reason shit is expensive and people are being starved

Dick Cheney has died. "boom!" by system of a down (2002)

Good morning to everyone, except billionaires.

Chicago Public Library (IL) workers speak out against the city's proposed cuts: www.fox32chicago.com/video/1735171

Remember: Singular people in office are not the end. The take away from this election isn't "we won, they'll fix it". The take away must be that together we can do good things. That these manmade institutions can be changed & remade by us for the better if we keep consistently working together. 1/2

But for real, collectively, progressive, left leaning folks needed something we can call a “win.” Proof that sticking to our ideals, without wavering or compromise can still win out in this day and age, no matter what the fascists try to tell us. It’s not a line in the sand, but it’s something.

It's WMW Release Day! Ep 12 of Windy City Nihilism is a talkback. We dig into episodes 10 and 11 as well as unpacking shut down through overwork. Cast @synxiec.blacksky.app @thedragonemrys.bsky.social @kyngvee.bsky.social Edited by @sassy-composer.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/1211549/epis...

Body cams apparently show Border Patrol agents joking about tossing tear gas at a nonviolent protest, with one agent saying "Hey, throw it [tear gas] for fun." Agents then tried to drive away, but there was apparently so much tear gas they were overcome, couldn't drive, and had to leave on foot.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

If a collection of myths and threats is the only thing that keeps you from doing bad things to others, you're not a good person. You're a bad person on a leash.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Dick Cheney was one of the architects of the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, one of the faces of a deadly war that should never have been waged, that killed millions and destabilized the region. If there was justice in the world, he would have been tried at The Hague for war crimes.

I better not see anyone saying Dick Cheney was a human being today, so help me God

Tea's up! 🔴 twitch.tv/mentallamia Tuesday Tea and Co-Working is live! Will I have the attention span to work or will I just be chatting? The world is wild and my client got me to listen to Lily Allen's divorce album and.... DICK CHENEY IS DEAD?! Probably a lot of chatting.

Wild how we have structural collapse in multiple knowledge economy sectors at the same time. Journalists and academics are stuck in institutions that force them to compromise on ethics and there are no exit options, much less open jobs in lateral fields

I have supported Teen Vouge for their dope progressive stance and political writing for years. Looks like it is time to unsubscribe. I mourn the loss of what made Teen Vouge special and important. These staffers deserve better.

One thing that's distressingly clear when you look at various forms of AI & the possibilities is that there is promise. There's a world where these technologies solve problems, make life better & easier in so many ways. Yet the people with power have chosen for us not not live in that world. 1/2

Federal agents once again in Albany Park this morning.
