Bone sawing is just a thing that sometimes happens to critics of the state. Everyone knows that.

A guy makes ONE tiny mistake (has a years-long friendship with the world's worst sex trafficker; brags about sexually harassing colleagues; is racist; says women are stupid) and his whole LIFE is blown up (does slightly fewer speaking engagements; keeps teaching at #1 university)??!?!?!?!?!

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

This shit is crazy, just the rumor of Drake liking lil girls or being weird with em was enough to change his entire reputation in the Black community. But in the white community, these muhfuckas are OPENLY giving cover to KNOWN pedos. HOW CAN I TRUST Y'ALL????

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Based on today’s news I guess I need to rewatch Eyes Wide Shut.

I love The Lowdown.

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

Call it TrumpCare dumbass.

Socialism is bad for NYC but good for the AI chatbot mafia.

Crazy but true. It’s taken me awhile to realize it, but the majority of people really are this misinformed and motivated by wishful thinking.

This.

For most people GenAI will become a shopping and entertainment channel that caters to your every whim based on the reams of personal data it captures. How is this empowering? And why shouldn’t the average person be concerned?

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

News on Trump boat bombings --> Rep Adam Smith, top Dem on Armed Services, tells me GOPers are failing to press for testimony from the top Pentagon official who recently resigned, potentially over the strikes. Appallingly, we may never hear from him. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2025...

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

The Banff Springs Hotel is one of the most beautiful hotels in Canada. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, it offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. It also may be one of the most haunted places in the country. This is the story. 🧵 1/11

This is America

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

This is America

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Show me your papers…

NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/13/i...

NEW: A professor at Rutgers University who wrote a book about “antifa” almost a decade ago is trying—and struggling—to flee the US for Europe after a weeks-long online campaign against him by far-right influencers was followed by death threats. www.wired.com/story/mark-b...

Incredible. Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.
