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

Failed country.

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments.

From Justice Robert H. Jackson's ruling against Truman's steel mill seizure: “No penance would ever expiate the sin against free government of holding that a President can escape control of executive powers by law through assuming his military role.” www.thebulwark.com/p/founders-t...

Gov. Shapiro: “America has a president, a vice president, that don't give a damn about all Americans…When I see hungry people in my state who are hungry because of J.D. Vance's bullshit politics, that makes me angry…America deserves better than J.D. Vance.”

Masked, heavily armed Trump regime agents abducted a U.S. citizen in a Los Angeles Home Depot parking lot during an ethnic cleansing raid, then drove away in his car with his one year old daughter, also a citizen, still inside. #OpDeathEaters #EndImpunity

It is extremely hard and brave to be a woman who wants to take away other people’s rights, including women’s, and for that I am feminist

Holy shit he's Milton Dammers. Right on the money

"After the federal mass-deportation initiative dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz” hit the shelter, a meeting was held the next day. Black residents affirmed they stood with Latino residents and the raid impacted everyone. Afterward folks were less divided by race..." hammerandhope.org/article/trum...

“We’re losing billions of dollars a year, but at least we’re telling teens to kill themselves”

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

This motherfucker really thinks he's in a Call of Duty game. Insanity.

If you don’t test for Covid there won’t be any Covid theory, but for air travel.

"They want everyone to know these thugs they’ve deployed to terrorize cities are battle-hardened and impervious to pain. But in court, they're such delicate flowers that if they are, say, lightly grazed by a sandwich, they are entitled to justice because of the horrific assault they have suffered."

I brought my Wu tapes (yes tapes) with me when I was living in Rome and accidentally left Liquid Swords in the boom box in the printmaking studio. I found out from his TA years later that Mr. Teleri would play GZA now and again after I had moved back to the US

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

Elon and Marco are genocidaires and I hope they are one day tried in chains at the Hague.

So Mamdani's win in NYC was so powerful Tuesday night that Trump has become a socialist too?

The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

What a dick

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

New York Daily News owned by Alden Global Capital is a Manhattan-based hedge fund founded in 2007 by Randall D. Smith. It is known for its strategy of purchasing and breaking up distressed companies, often in the newspaper industry, leading to its reputation as a "vulture capitalist".

The media is rushing 300 “New York Jews worried about Mamdani antisemitism” fetch essays based on nothing but Mamdani being a Muslim meanwhile the Republican Party from top to toe has the confidence to wear nazi makeup every day knowing the press looks at it like the westworld bots seeing a polaroid

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

the way the daily news addresses mamdani is demeaning and dripping with disdain. he’s the mayor-elect ffs. even if you don’t agree with him show a modicum of respect. there is simply no way they would ever treat a white man like this. they’re no better that the NY post.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "This is a president who doesn't respect the rule of law and doesn't respect the people of this country enough to let them go to the polls and make up their own minds without him trying to interfere in that process…We're going to continue to stand up to him."

Trump is on live TV saying he wants to rig elections so Democrats can’t return to power. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in our history.

Trump does not even have a nub of a brain left. He is completely gone into his own demented fan fiction self-insert AU story with basically no reference to the real world.

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of 'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

The FAA will reduce flight capacity at 40 major airports across the U.S. starting Friday, officials say

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Just so we are clear: ICE went into a day care center—a private business—without a judicial warrant, and unlawfully kidnapped a worker in front of parents and children.

ICE is a terrorist organization
