There's a town ~12 miles west of Chicago that is a warzone at the moment. It's called Broadview. It's home to ~8,000 people & every day for 3 weeks, ICE & other state agents have launched increasingly violent attacks against its residents & peaceful protesters, defying the mayor & local fire dept.

Jewish leaders: O wHy WoNt MaMdAnI ViSiT a ShUl??? Mamdani: So glad to go to your shul! Jewish leaders: NO THANK U

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

When I read the book this lil' part about killing folks was just thrown in and I thought I was having a stroke.

‪Cardinal McElroy: “Our first obligation as a Church is to embrace in a sustained, unwavering, prophetic, and compassionate way the immigrants who are suffering so deeply because of the oppression they are facing.”‬

Hey, if you think that the "MEDIA" isn't covering something - DM me and I'll send you links to the people covering it. Are there gaps in the "media's" attention? YES. But it's rare, usually it's just that your social media feed sucks.

Donald Trump cut funding for pediatric cancer research.

I hope every Dem Gov and AG signs on to this suit as soon as they can.

The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election. It won 51 seats - an outright majority. Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership. A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.

Wait that’s not what the article said (that quote doesn’t appear in it). It said ~half of the early posts encouraging boycotting were from bots. And then it said of 2+ million posts about it on Twitter, ~75% were from people and ~25% from bots. This was still a lot of people acting weird at scale!

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

The @BlueJays clinch the AL East title and first seed in the American League!

My Dad is a huge Fever fan but also the Mets are his primary love after his family so today is like if you broke all your bones except one leg, I guess. Keep him in your thoughts!

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

I also still think the more rigorous schedule, lack of rest, and small roster size are the BIGGEST contributor to the increase in injuries we've seen this season. Reffing is bad but if we want to take better care of players, schedule & roster size need to be addressed too.

Well those were PRETTY IMPORTANT FREE THROWS, LEXIE.

If the NBA genuinely wanted to treat the WNBA like a sister competition, rather than one of their minor-leagues, they'd have long ago thrown enough money at the referees' union to just make it a combined pool where everyone in the top group works both leagues. Never going to happen. #WNBA

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

Def Antifa. You can tell by the mask. #WarRavagedPortland

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Well I'm stuck at a gas station waiting for Triple A so expect a lot of reskeets. Also if I had just turned around the minute the tire light went on I could be waiting at home 🙃

Happy Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov Saves the World Day, everybody. 42 years ago today, Lt. Col. Petrov prevented an accidental nuclear war. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanisl...

Celebrating men who massacred women and children is a travesty. In response, I've made a donation to KILI Radio, the public radio station on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Support Indigenous voices! www.kiliradio.live

Thread. Y'all may recall a little show called Person of Interest and how it started out as boosterism for complete surveillance and ended by revealing it as a nightmare.

These are the shoes of Daniella, an 8 yo girl. She died because the poorly planned shuttering of USAID left her without typhoid and malaria medication and zero time to find alternatives. There are many like her. USAID's botched winddown may well be a leading cause of death in the coming years.

Middle schoolers are much more sophisticated than these clowns in fact.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

Tens of thousands of Jews voted for Mamdani in the NY primary. Jonathan Greenblatt was picked by a 16-person search committee.

This sounds crazy but it’s literally just a plain, accurate description. Again, like all the rest of the lawless authoritarianism, this Article III constitutional crisis is really an Article I constitutional crisis. Congress could end this nonsense at literally any time. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

It almost but not quite goes without saying: The Trump-Hegseth memory of American history treats the Civil War as having two sides of Americans, both of whom deserve to be honored as heroes. It treats the wars between the Union army and Indian nations entirely differently. 1/

Over the past 10 days, Trump has sued The New York Times, demanded investigations and firings of his political enemies, attempted (with temporary success) to bully a comedian off the air and threatened progressive groups. These are not signs of Trump’s power. They’re signs of his regime’s weakness.

I'm here at the Atsuko Okatsuka show trying to temporarily forget our national hellscape.

Just straight up Nazis.

Thinking about Jimmy Carter and his peanut farm once again

"Drug targets" like that fleeing boat was a drug target?

Uh, no, the oligarchs who own the media are not the same ones who own the bots.

FALL FASHION TIPPE - Disappear ynto the woodes of an eveninge, when the skye ys lavender and blue. Call unto the powers that dwell ther, and lo! thei appear yn their glamour and their panoplye, radiant. Aske of them what thei have seen and thei will tell thee: 'sorrow.' Accessorize wyth a scarf.

Hey USA folks, we're in peak #BirdMigration time! If you have control over exterior nighttime light sources, please turn them off. Every little bit helps mitigate light pollution. Lights at night often disorient/redirect/slow down progress otherwise. Keep all these beauties on the safest track! 💖

Can people please start taking this eliminationist rhetoric seriously instead of telling autistics we’re overreacting? Because I don’t think we’re overreacting. They want us gone. They’re saying so straight out.

My initial reaction: Goddammit, if Trump gets credit for brokering a ceasefire.... Realization two seconds later: I don't care if the ghost of Mussolini gets credit, as long as this slaughter stops.

Oooh, big Shabbteanism vibes (Jewish history deep cut!)

Re: the Des Moines superintendent, how high above 90% do we think the likelihood is that ICE got two Black men confused, and is now lying about what happened when they tried to arrest the wrong one of them?

This serves as a counterpoint to my last quote post and it's a pretty good one. I still think using the NFL using the language of exposure is insulting, though.

Exposure. For arguably the most famous artist in the world. Okay.

And if you don't like it, you're more racist than lawmakers in literally EIGHTEEN SIXTY EIGHT, so....

I’d like to thank everyone who made this possible by incessantly abusing this term over the past two years to defend the Israeli state from people who were describing its actions in a straightforward manner

I feel I owe this man and his preferred cause for the amount of times this meme has been exactly what I needed. How about you? 👇
