Broadview police chief accuses ICE agents of making false 911 calls www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

the whole point is that they don’t think it will matter

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

The NYT story left out the Charlie Kirk angle, but they did a good job proving that this 17-year-old creep was passing around nudes of his underage classmates. NYT saw the screenshots and the threats to produce more, implying that he was making deepfakes.

It's neither. He's simply creating a calculated pretext to justify violence against political enemies. They teach it on the first day in dictator school.

There will be multiple Kent States before this (fascist regime) is all said and done

so i don’t think this should be a hot take but for the record i think the chances republicans give up power without some level of violence - a mini jan 6 at best - is basically nil.

It’s essential that you find common ground with Trump supporters. For instance, you know that you have many flaws, and they believe you are less than human. Work with that. —Ezra Klein, tomorrow in the New York Times

once again, it's a race between whether centrist elites can capitulate faster than these fucking imbeciles can step on their own dicks

if you’re a visual learner i made you some maps of where the people quoted in this article as supporting portland being occupied by troops live

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Wow, they did all that and got *two* suspected gang members? Suspected? Wow. And two of them? Wow. Plus a guy with a previous charge of marihuana possession? Wow. Wow, that is impressive. Wow, when are we throwing these heroes a parade? Wow.

BREAKING:

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

The creepiest part of Ezra' Kleins present spiel is that his mind can't separate fascist LEADERS (Kirk, Ben Shapiro), whom one should shun, from ordinary citizens seduced by them, to be engaged as neighbors, even if deplorable. A genuine elite derangement.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

interesting how they pretend that "vehicular homicide" isnt a literal category that exists so the headline can make it sound like prosecutor overreach.

For example the GOP lawmaker, a Christian nationalist, said it was "prejudicial" to label Kirk a Christian nationalist. But it is a factual statement. He was labeled Christian nationalist by mainstream media! Christian nationalists embrace him! He espoused their views! www.akmemo.com/cancel-cultu...

The owners removed factual information about Kirk's views. The owners said the piece fell below their journalistic standards, but refused to saw what was wrong about the piece.

*A Republican lawmaker objected to reference to Charlie Kirk holding “often racist and controversial views” in local Alaska news *The corporate owner took down the story and edited it *The journalists resigned This feels like more and more of our media now. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

well maybe they *can* put him on a coin, if, well...

I saw @radleybalko.bsky.social speak once when I was in law school and did think oh huh I guess there are some civil libertarians who are actually serious about civil liberties after all

the usual story. rich guy wants to punish universities for not clamping down on pro-palestinian protests and for doing too much to recruit minorities. at base these guys want the top tier of american universities to become, once more, safe-spaces for their dunderheaded failsons

*Reliably in line with the priorities of the country’s most important and powerful people, regardless of whether you’re correct or catastrophically wrong* is the sweet spot. That’s where the actual money is, not the chump change given to the rest of the lads.

Your choices for Andy Rooney are: —Jordan Peterson —Jesse Watters —The MyPillow guy if he's still alive (did not google) —Rob Schneider No matter who you pick they're doing a spittle-flecked tight five on either paper straws or your third-grader's genitals every Sunday. So.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

Elon Musk’s Twitter feed is the farthest-right, most hateful and disinformation-forward social media feed I’ve seen of any person who doesn’t openly identify as a member of a hate group. It’s toxic at a level that in any other era would have led to *anyone* in business ceasing all dealings with him.

they’re gonna fire on protestors sooner or later

Am I the only one who thinks that this militarization of America is inevitably going to lead to a bloodbath of some kind? What will happen if it does?

They want you to think Obama kicked off cultural hunger games by...saying a random cop acted stupidly, then inviting that cop to the White House. Meanwhile, they were birthers or in bed with birthers, and obsessing about how "politics is downstream from culture." www.offmessage.net/p/they-radic...

All Trump loyalists get a libidinal thrill watching him piss on the Constitution, but I wrote about the subset who feel exposed by their obvious hypocrisy, and so pretend it's all a regrettable consequence of Barack Obama radicalizing them. www.offmessage.net/p/they-radic...

This is the point. The difference between 2024 and now is that Trump is in office and the secret police, masked kidnappings, militarization of cities, state censorship of TV personalities, corrupt investigations of enemies, etc are all around us and getting shoved down people's throats every day.

im increasingly convinced these guys are alienating people faster and faster with these (a) blatant, childish lies; (b) told by unctuous, charmless, deeply unlikeable children; (c) in service of putting violence in american streets

we Americans are dumb, sure. but we're not this dumb. im sorry but this is the type of shit amerifats laugh at when it's "baghdad bob" and i guarantee you virtually no one is fooled by it. this is weakness and desperation

Just gonna keep reposting the meme every time it's relevant

Right after babbling like a crazy person in front of all the military brass, you're saying?

Chappelle: Y’all are more free than we are Riyadh crowd: Wooooooo Chappelle: Like if I tell jokes about trans people at home people say shit about me Riyadh crowd: booo Chappelle: but you guys clap Riyadh: [applause] Chappelle: you see THAT’s free speech

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.

didn’t realize the virgin AI actress piece was from the free press. bravo

I asked Chris Murphy if he privately talks to Dem colleagues about why they don't sound the alarm loudly. His answers were depressing. Dems tell him they don't want to be "alarmist" or that "democracy" didn't work in 2024, so they want to stick to health care. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

It’s so fucking funny that we’re still getting five NYT op-eds a week calling for the left to tone down their rhetoric
