New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

maybe JD Vance has never taken ibuprofen, assuming that pounding in his skull is just the normal consequence of attempting a thought at all

⭐🌟 searching by starlight 🌟⭐

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

alright. art friends. which one of you was it

Just by sheer chance we are always exactly one vote short of doing good stuff, and one vote over the line to do bad stuff.

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

just started having recency bias and i love it. easily the best bias

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Folks. If you love your city and the people in it and feel helpless in the face of the fascist forces roaming your neighborhoods, read this piece and find some way to resist or to keep resisting or to support others who are. Be like Chicago. City of Broad Shoulders indeed.

The people can buy their own……. policy? From who, Don?

I actually think what ICE is doing under Trump 2.0 is shaping up to be a world-historic campaign of human rights violations in an advanced industrialized ~democracy I’m not sure I have many modern parallels. Japanese internment? Treatment of French-Algerians in the Algerian war? Those were wartime.

This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area. “We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

A little ode to last month! I associate October with many round things: pumpkins, acorns, apples, but also my cats, who become extremely round and fluffy as their fur thickens. Here’s my little ode to the roundest month of the year 🟠

Shocking account of maniacal ICE raid in the heart of Washington, DC’s Georgetown neighborhood, followed by building owner’s mass eviction of those Spanish-speakers not already abducted.

We've got you 👍

New awareness campaign

The Fugitive Slave Act legalized bounty hunting. It’s crystal clear what Make America Great Again really means.

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

A witness in our case had ICE reject all her documents after using facial rec on her. For her, tho, it seemed like nothing could make them accept that she has a right to be here. Either way, a gov policy of not trusting gov-issued docs is going to violate lots of people's rights.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Nothing warms my heart as much as seeing someone doing this. The world is *full* of people doubling down on shit they don’t even believe out of a sense of pride, and seeing someone graciously acknowledge being wrong, in full public view, is quite inspiring.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

if you don’t spend several hours a day on your phone you’ll miss all the Crap and Bullshit

Pumpkin Garden 🎃

Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can lose their job. Anyone can become homeless. Anyone can go hungry. These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant. Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize. We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Comm for @snowystardragon.bsky.social and their Kaldorei! [ #art #warcraft ]

The carceral state is generally brutal and evil in the way it treats the human beings it cages, but it’s fine to point out when there are bursts of unusually concentrated or vigorous evil and use it to get people to care.

Whenever you think he's nazi'd as hard as any one person can possibly nazi, he just nazis harder.

shouldn't post him, but

“Let Them Eat Shit”-ass presidency

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

i've had this image in my browser tabs for months and it makes me laugh every time i'm rooting around in em now you can have it too

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

absolute workhorse of a reaction image from over 100 years ago

Again, the Bible is unambiguous about it. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another. Zechariah 7:9-10

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.
