It is also notable that so much of right-wing media being a grift with transnational participants and funding posing as Americans ought to tell us the presence, volume, and claims, etc of right wing media (esp social media) are not actually indicative of American political beliefs and preferences

"ha ha bitches, I got a new scooter" is a Top 20 line of the 21st century

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern. They had misidentified the intern.

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

the cook county public defender's office not mincing words in its response to a plan to allow all chicago cops to directly file felony weapons possession charges. "This policy abandons prosectors’ duty to review felony charges and simply hands that responsibilities over to police."

This is seismic news. It's hard to overstate how big the implications are for both future prosecutions and wrongful convictions. This NJ decision could reshape how courts across the country treat shaken-baby expert testimony. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/n...

NOW UPDATED: @meganpiont.bsky.social's "How to report ICE" zine includes the ✨new ICE hotline number for NYC✨ For those new to this type of guide: "SALUTE" is an acronym to help us remember what steps to take.

That fact that you're not 100% sure if this is satire or not speaks volumes.

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

Not for nothing, this is one reason why we say "pregnant patient" instead of "woman." It's not just for non-binary inclusion.

"But it's not only the letting go — there's also the rejoicing of how we can break the system that created the trauma and the division between us and the original caretakers of the land."

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

been awhile since I felt a literal chill down my spine but this honestly scared the shit out of me

Dog they reenacted Jim Crow and apartheid in front of our faces in less than five years because we just STARTED to hold them accountable Stop asking “How could this happen” Start asking “ How does this never happen again”

"She [the ICE driver of the car, at the hospital] was just like, 'You know you're having a hysterectomy, right?'" it's always worse than we'll ever find out about, and this is unbelievably heinous

In case you wondered why the state just keeps building bigger and bigger prisons…

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

"Last year saw a doubling of Americans who were hospitalized or killed by contaminated food outbreaks ... Despite that, the new funding bill blocks federal rules designed to trace sources of outbreaks, and to prevent contamination of produce."

This is a wonderful and right-on-time conversation. I especially loved the recognition that fear clarifies what we value that we don't want taken away, and the invitation to connect with our fear, without shame, to let it show us what we love, and then to "think about possibility from that space."

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Sees a male patient walking in the hall in his hospital gown with a physical therapist and why my brain immediately goes to "I like a man with a short skirt and a looong jacket!"

Narcisstic systems survive by finding people who will engage in transactional relationships with others. And creating the fear that doing the right thing will be more costly than sustaining the system The only way to stop that is consequences so bad everyone stops

A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy. www.wsaw.com/2025/11/12/g...

Maligning basic, safe OTC medications that most people have to resort to, like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, is part of a larger scam to blame people for their health problems (or their children's health needs or problems), so that the administration can claim people don't deserve care or support.

After Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 4 Michigan insurers are dropping out of the ACA marketplace altogether. That’s 200,000 Michiganders who just lost their plans.

A fed directly aimed his gun at an unarmed woman in Santa Ana on Sunday, continuing ICE's violent tirade against L.A. residents. The full story: lataco.com/ice-gun-aime... By Izzy Ramirez

Chicago's Far South Side devolved into chaos when residents confronted Border Patrol agents who rammed a car to make an arrest. The feds ultimately used tear gas to flee, despite a Chicago police leader offering to clear a path and warning that cops didn't have gas masks. tinyurl.com/mt3sfh4j

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

Aguascalientes Carnicería y Taqueria released a statement expressing their rejection of ICE raids in Chicago after one of their own workers was taken 3 weeks ago. Bovino and federal agents also entered Aguascalientes last week but were denied service.

outside of individual donations to gofundmes and such, one helpful destination for your money right now is this bond fund. everyone being released from broadview needs to pay $1500 bond, which is obviously insane. it's going to cost like $925k to successfully spring 615 people linktr.ee/mw_bondfund

Aaron Goggans and I talk about what happens when movements start running on empty—how trauma, burnout, and dysregulation can shape our organizing, and what it takes to sustain ourselves and each other in a moment of crisis and emergency. I found this conversation so helpful, and I hope you will too.

Drunk border patrol agent was in a womens restroom with a loaded gun + one in the chamber then wandering the parking lot of a restaurant with his gun out then resisted police and threw the fucking thing *loaded* The police tried to deny giving any of this info but this indie newsroom prevailed!

One of the main reasons I’m *like this* politically was reading left wing publications in 2006 explain what was about to happen in great detail and then watching it happen live over the next couple years

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
