Border Patrol moving through Charlotte as videos document arrests, confrontations | By @jmarusak.bsky.social and a team of reporters at the Observer www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/a...

Maybe one legacy ICE will leave is that Chicago and its suburbs have more in common than we thought. They were both targets, and they both fought back, writes @tedmcclelland.bsky.social

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd. he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him. situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Here in Broadview, outside Chicago, a large group of faith leaders & protesters have gathered this morning outside of ICE’s detention center. This looks like one of the largest protests on Beach St. in weeks, where the city of Broadview is still enforcing a small “free speech” zone. It’s packed.

DAILY MEMO: Over 50 Arrested in Record Raids: Baby, Pregnant Mom, Gardeners, Sons, Elderly, Vendors, Unhoused In Last Two Days Full report: lataco.com/daily-memo-o...

🚨new publication🚨 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝘆 in: Understanding Social Struggles: Relating Recognition Theories and Epistemic Injustice (eds. H. Hänel and F. Schuppert), Transcript. pp. 49-64. 2025. Open Access: philpapers.org/archive/BLUC...

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

The ongoing 'bailout' of AI covered here is just another aspect of creeping state capitalism in the U.S., and how even it's supposedly most "innovative" sectors can't survive without truly massive infusions of state money because they're not actually profitable www.wsj.com/opinion/you-...

I got to work this morning to find a close coworker weeping. They're in bad $ trouble bc of our bad pay & a weak social support network... $7 in the bank for a week. I told them I could help bc my people help. So I ask if anyone can spot $5 to my Venmo so I can transfer as a lump: @Kristofer-Nivens

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

German capitalism as we know it is coming to an end.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

absolutely cannot be stressed enough how incompetent and stupid these goons are. add the hundreds of detainees being released in Chicago today (& prolly more to come) because these morons were too dumb to think for a minute about what they were doing. self-defeating stupidity all the way down

great news and great example of how the admin’s “move fast and break things” approach really just amounts to being so stupid and reckless they undermine themselves www.nbcchicago.com/investigatio...

Starbucks workers are kicking off a super ambitious, and EXTREMELY IMPORTANT nation wide strike this Thursday. The success of this highly visible strike, in this political moment, is likely to determine whether other workers have the confidence to organize and strike in their own workplaces.

ILC Chicago members are invited to next month's Bowling Night and Friendsgiving Potluck! We'll be gathering at Timber Lanes on Sunday, November 23rd at 4pm. Families welcome! Learn more and RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Google AI is like an Eric Adams quote generator

“Worldbuilding” has become synonymous with the creation of endlessly exploitable IP. This doesn’t resemble what’s going on with Elysium, which is both too expansive in scale and too scathing in its analysis of our own reality to be so reduced.

I finished this tonight, it's excellent, highly recommended, check it out!

Members of the community argue with federal officers during an immigration enforcement action in the Little Village neighborhood Saturday in Chicago.

I've been working on this fantasy project since the year 2000 (that's two thousand with three zeroes). There are novels in the works - of which two are almost complete, with two others partly drafted. The shorts on Patreon are free to read, but please support me if you feel inspired to do so. :)

Looking for some creepy good original fantasy shorts? look no further. @solidaritygoth.bsky.social with some guud shit

Grok asks a 12 year old for nudes after asking Grok its favorite soccer player. When CBC requested comment, xAIs said “Legacy Media Lies.”

When all the excitement has settled and these events are remembered by future generations, historians will recognize the real hero of the moment: Mayor Pete for knowing what day election day is, and for letting us know about the calendar.

This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.

border patrol agent lairmore is going to get roasted by the boys every day for the rest of his pathetic little life

how does these clowns expect anyone to take them seriously

The sandwich: a dramatic reading

rip to one of the all time greatest runs in publication history imo

ive been saying this for years but the last thing i need is to hear more points of fucking view. points of view is how we got into this fucking mess. we need like a 99% reduction in points of fucking view. oh you've got an opinion about stuff do you? stick it up your ass dingus

will never cease to blow my mind how virtually the entirety of the academy, hand in glove with the democratic establishment from biden on down, just cut their own throats in service of protecting israel. just served up a meatball on a platter for trump. and now handing out favors for it

the trump regime legal apparatus is coming after these schools *expressly for allowing antisemitism to run wild.* they're using their own claims against them to extract massive cultural concessions. literal nazis are breaking these guys on the wheel using their own phony crisis. crazy work

Watch Mahmoud Khalil’s interview on Ezra Klein, he details how Columbia used the same ratfucking tactics the cops used on civil rights protesters to provoke confrontation. And what was terrifying is nobody, not the colleges or the admin seemed aware of the Pandora’s box they were opening.

Allow me to summarize: 1. 5 IDF soldiers caught sexually molesting a Palestinian prisoner. 2. IDF files charges. 3. IDF AG faces enormous pressure from government to drop charges. Mob storms base where it happened. 4. IDF AG leaks video documenting the molestation. 5. IDF AG pushed out (continued)

Complicity of liberal institutions with the crackdown on student protest paved the way for the crisis of academia. To defend our work we must sever the link with the security state. Come join us at U of C tomorrow, where we will discuss how to confront the hiring of the inveterate liar John Kirby.
