They’re working their way down the list of who they are coming for at a very fast pace.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

There are more people living within five miles of my home than in the entire state of Maine.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

As a student, I always loved the Purdue Exponent, and now my love has grown deeper.

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

Hey, it’s your daily reminder to get out there and do something! Our neighbors have been terrorized more over the weekend and are pretty scared. Hearing there’s been a lot of interest in rapid response, but schools may still need help. Talk to “friends of” or parent networks at your nearest school.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

I am so angry, my heart is broken. Young children are waiting at school for this mother to pick them up. What will happen to them? What will happen to her? To her car, her purse? Why does it take over 12 heavily armed men to kidnap her? Is she really "the worst of the worst" or just a human bounty?

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

Tossed into the neighborhood as feds were departing and other times

Fascism relies upon the privileged illusion of normalcy to thrive and take root.

BACKGROUND — In April, we dug into how asylum seekers from Latin America landed in Black Chicago neighborhoods like South Shore, the community rocked by a militarized federal agents raid earlier this week. thetriibe.com/2025/04/some...

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.

Watch this. This is what this criminal administration wants to do to all of us. Find the groups in your community that are standing up against ICE and join them.

If you live in Illinois, we need your help. This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

Our cities aren’t war ravaged. They’re ICE ravaged.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Now that summer is over, Chicago is still on track to have fewer homicides in 2025 than almost any other year since 2001. This is especially impressive considering that the five most violent years of the 21st century have all been in the past decade.

Trump once suggested that injecting bleach could help cure COVID. RFK has a long, long history of peddling medical misinformation to enrich himself. Please talk to your doctor. Please talk to your doctor. Please talk to your doctor.

50 years after punk’s birth, a sociologist looks back at the heyday of the anarchist-inflected punk scene in Philly in the 1990s and 2000s, and how the political ideology and activism – encouraging opposition to capitalism, government, power and more – is still influential today. buff.ly/hVoWiDG

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture. His posture.

#BREAKING: Sinclair says it will air a one-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk on its ABC-affiliated stations in the time slot that is usually occupied for "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The special will air on Friday, per a Sinclair spokesperson.

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

I spotted fall this weekend. #nature #urbanhike

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

How can snowflakes start a war?

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Slow media is way better than AI slop

🤡 Ted Cruz BURNS 🔥 Trump (2016) Trump is a pathological liar, narcissist, & utterly amoral

Being on social media is fine but if it’s getting in the way of you doing deep reading and deep thinking, then your balance of how you spend your time is off Lots of interesting threads here and none of them are a substitute for reading a good book or essay

It's clear that printing and distribution of my publication TASKS FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD IN CHICAGO is going to disrupt my life at a time when I have no time, so here are files you can print from. It's a double-sided 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. Please do not edit the text. Have fun!

Reminder if you're in/near Chicago, CIGS is this Saturday! We've got 30+ fresh hot indie games, plus live music and flash tattoo artists! #indiedev #indiegame www.tickettailor.com/events/indie...

It’s our civic duty to be informed citizens. I’m starting to get very angry at the loads of people I know who own being non-informed. Your “ignorance is bliss” mindset is part of why we’re here! This what I want to commit to saying to all of those people who tell me “they don’t keep up w/politics.”

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Like seriously, where are the announcements? We've been hearing about government cuts, billions in savings, increased revenue, etc., all year. I haven't heard one single announcement about what I'm getting in return. Lower taxes? Nope. Better public services? Nope. All I hear is more money for ICE.

"Only when the last tree has been cut, the last river has been poisoned & the last fish been caught will they realize that they can't eat money" old Cree proverb

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.

I keep thinking about this. No one, a tourist or resident or anyone, is ever going to say 'I spent 20 minutes at the fanciest L stop in the city' but they *will* say 'why did I have to wait 20 minutes for a train'?

I want to share more of my thoughts with the world, but I don’t want them to be used against me. Until it feels safe again (which hasn’t been since 2016), I’ll keep them in my head and for those who talk to me in real life.
