New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

AHEM

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

After Columbia canceled my course on race and media, and Washington Poat fired me for speaking about race and violence, I’m teaching about race and media anyway! @resistanceschool.bsky.social fall session on Race, Media and International Affairs starts tonight! 600+ signups. We move!! ✊🏾

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

We need a tax system where everyone pays their fair share. Not a system that benefits one group over another.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Bullshit. Our best weapons against climate change is mandating the necessary emissions cuts and ending fossil fuel driven corruption

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

🚨🚨🚨 Chicago Police pepper sprayed by ICE yesterday. These are the streets of the former United States. 1/2

And yes, some of the media conglomerations are capitulating, but what is being revealed, day by day, is that the wealth class isn't just afraid of Trump, they're on board with the ongoing fascist escalation that we've been watching for decades. It helps to see this clearly and not living in denial.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

We need to cultivate less partisan, more respectful dialogue, which is why we put an unqualified right wing contrarian troll in charge of CBS news to stoke the fires of culture war for clicks while blowing smoke up Trump and Netanyahu's ass

what the Ellisons are doing (going on a massive media buying spree to convert what's left of the press into pure, right wing friendly corporatist propaganda and infotainment clickbait) would be slightly more tolerable if not for the endless lies about how much they adore free speech and civility

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

And reforming the Supreme Court. Which made up all kinds of new law around qualified immunity. Raze the Supreme Court as an institution. Then rebuild a new constitutional court.

“Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy” – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.””

Release the Epstein files, ‘phile!

Amazing how the new issue of THE ONION effortlessly links an obsession with falling white birth rates with being a white supremacist but the US media edifice has for two years now given Elon Musk a pass on this, his primary post-Sieg Heil social media fixation besides skipping trials for Black folks

This is a strong report, and I encourage you to watch it and share it with your Trumpy relatives. Because he's right: This is wrong, and it's tyranny, whatever Brett Kavanaugh says, and no decent American should stand for it.

This is so fucking sadistic. I’d like to hear the hasbara merchants try to defend this most recent depravity.

In Trump’s America, billionaire and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is a kind of shadow president. Meanwhile, the Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store. The removal came after a direct demand from Trump’s DOJ. Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

if murder, rape, kidnapping, human trafficking, assault, and motherfucking treason go unpunished, we are finished.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I could have sworn the U.S. had a constitution with amendments preventing this, dating back to the late 1700's... I guess I'm mistaken.

Elon Musk & Trump Crypto Czar David Sacks—who co-authored the “Diversity Myth” w/ Peter Thiel—take aim at Wikipedia. Sacks calls Wikipedia “hopelessly biased,” & Musk says that “We are building Grokipedia XAI,” which he says will be a “massive improvement over Wikipedia.” 1/ x.com/elonmusk/sta...

With news that Bari Weiss is going to be the new EIC at CBS News, I wanted to reup this piece I wrote 6 years ago about how she and Bret Stephens helped turn NYT into a moral panic factory www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

“Democrats are negotiating about policy when they should be negotiating about power. The only compromises Democrats should accept in exchange for bailing out the GOP Congress are ones that would either rebalance the government, or put limits on executive power.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

ER wait times are going to be much longer when 13.7 million Americans lose their Medicaid coverage over the next decade due to this administration’s billionaire tax cuts, not to mention the higher premiums from expiring ACA subsidies, the thousands of jobs being lost every month, & massive inflation

“Newsom declared that the state of California will pull funding from any university that caves to Trump’s extortion gambit. This is the right path for Democrats. Where they control levers of power, they should use them to create counterincentives.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

‘They are hunting us:’ Child care workers in D.C. go underground amid ICE crackdown @19thnews.org "This is what she lives with every day now: “The fear of leaving your family and letting them know, ‘If I don’t return, it’s not because I am abandoning you.’” 19thnews.org/2025/09/chil...

What I'm referring to. It's a privilege to be invited onto networks to talk about my reporting but I have limits. Similarly stopped doing NewsNation after Nextar took its Kimmel stance.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans? They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs? What do the 20+ million think about that?

Damn. Liz ain't having it. 😮

History has many painful lessons.

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...
