Media Refuse To Enlist As Propagandists For The Pentagon [1/7]

Photojournalists Anthony Vasquez and Ashlee Rezin from the @chicago.suntimes.com deserve Pulitzers for their work. 🔥

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

All that anybody needs to do is look at who is attacking whom — who is doing the #disruption nationwide — and it becomes evident they need #repudiation not excusing, and shown the door. Get the masked #sturmabteilung thugs the fuck out of our neighborhoods, our states, our future. #counterdisrupt

U.S. House Speaker calls Portland naked bike ride ‘most threatening thing I’ve seen yet’ I don't know anyobody who's seen any greater threats from the citizens, but the masked whitenationalist mercenary abductor-thugs are BEAUCOUP threatening; get them the fuck out. [1/3]

This includes some racist, parasitic screed from my #VT state senator, bigot Sam Douglass -- #orleansCounty voters ought to let him know what they think about this at [email protected] (802) 828-2228 and his website at legislature.vermont.gov/people/singl...

FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔 Privatizing public schools at breakneck speed, filling their pockets with taxpayer funds. www.fox13news.com/news/charter...

whoever did this little bit of magnificence, take a bow

Turns out your assumptions about what republican group chats are like is correct www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Will Republicans clean house of all these Nazis? Inquiring minds...well, we know the answer. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Still hearing broadcast news items designating assassinated whitechristian nationalist Kirk as mere “right wing influencer”. Rather than misanthrope or, like, neonazi.

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

WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court rejects Alex Jones' appeal of $1.4 billion judgment for calling Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax. @apnews.com

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Mike Johnson — man of deep faith, we are told — wants pastors to be shot in the head with pepper balls.

"On the Media" invited me on to chat about my recent piece on Stephen Miller's theory of how to do fascist politics, and how JB Pritzker's understanding of it is shaping a new kind of Democratic response. It's short and well-edited! Hope you enjoy: www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said people who attend this weekend’s No Kings protests are “antifa.” trib.al/dar37Om

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose. I never bluff and I usually win.

President Trump—a man regarded by some as the most corrupt president in U.S. history and a flagrant abuser of the presidential pardon power—on Monday called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be pardoned for corruption charges. trib.al/hzrUsc8

The lawyer for Marimar Martinez (the woman shot by CBP on October 3) seems to think the communications that led to Tricia McLaughlin's claims about the shooting might start disappearing -- he's asking for a preservation order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

By the time you get to the point where the Transportation Secretary is complaining about political protests, you know the administration is truly scared of the public backlash.

In which John Oliver methodically unpacks how thin it is to claim you’re all about “the truth” when you’re only running essays don’t get properly fact-checked — and don’t hold up to even basic reporting scrutiny www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

Trump appears to forget that Jan 6 happened on his watch as he blames Biden in late-night screed: ‘What a SCAM!’ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-biden-fbi-jan-6-post-b2843973.html [1/2]

She was taken hostage by Palestinians 55 years ago. Now she’s an anti-Zionist activist. Catherine Hodes was taken hostage by the PFLP at age 13 while traveling from State of Israel to the U.S. The experience sparked a lifelong commitment to Palestinian liberation. [1/2]

"It’s happening in Portland. It’s happened in L.A. It’s happening in D.C. ... To be frank with you, this isn’t about politics. This is genuinely about the future of our country. Do we believe in a constitutional republic, or do we think that it’s okay if this becomes the law of one?" trib.al/FA8Dioq

The Pentagon has to provide The New York Times information about Elon Musk’s security clearances, a federal judge ruled Wednesday—and the billionaire’s own posting habits helped decide the case. trib.al/OSpdFXt

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The hilarity continues, let's laugh the bastards out of power.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Chicago TV journalist pushed to ground and arrested during raid, by masked mercenary abductor-thugs, then later released. Successful deflection from State Terror acts. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/10/chicago-ice-raid-arrest [1/2]

The United States is in the midst of a “cold civil war.” For liberals to win it, they must use “hardball” tactics—including borrowing from the Republicans’ own playbook. trib.al/Vy3kJ44

How Trump plays you: He posts a claim undermining the facts about January 6. YOU ALL DISSEMINATE IT!!! You don't mock that he's complaining that the FBI responded to a terrorist attack. You instead "fact check" re his claim that Joe Biden was in charge of the FBI--which is abt tribalism, not truth

The masked mercenary secret-police abduction squads who evidently receive marching orders from Stephen Miller (criminally, without any legal authority) needed a court order to stop committing violent acts against journalists, civilians, passersby.

North Carolina lawmaker appears in court from hospital bed on child sex charges. (The child-rapist 'in chief' ought to be compelled to mount a defense from a hospital also, but Our Elected Officials have thus far prevented the still-necessary release of public records.) [1/4]

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump. It’s oligarchs all the way down. My first for @zeteo.com: zeteo.com/p/this-famil...

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Russell Vought and poor little Stephen Miller have NO LEGAL AUTHORITY — nor does anybody — to instigate disobedience, foment violence & terrorize communities and then call their attacks a Domestic War Response as transparent pretext to end elections.

Civilian not-C sbag sends gangs of federally-hired mercenary abductor-thugs & Republican-state militaries into the peaceful communities that subsidize those Republican states, terrorizing civilians. Admits that criminal act & also, implicitly, that his thugs & our forces are doing all the “rioting”.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

There really needs to be a massive betting line on which bubble will crash first, crypto or AI. Lucky for the billionaires who created the bubble, Trump installed the guy who started the run on SVB then wailed until he was bailed out, David Sacks, as his Crypto/AI Czar.
