This. And this again.

Not shocking - if your business model is predicated on telling right-wing people what they want to hear, that audience can get an ever bigger dose from places like Newsmax or Fox News. Being right-wing with the faintest air of objectivity is not a market big enough to be worthwhile. (Hint, CBS...)

Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT REJECTS BID BY INFOWARS' ALEX JONES TO CHALLENGE $1.4 BILLION DEFAMATION JUDGMENT OWED TO FAMILIES OF SANDY HOOK SCHOOL SHOOTING VICTIMS

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Solidarity is the only way

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

THIS ENERGY. ALWAYS.

3D printers: WE NEED YOU! If you have a printer, start making whistles for your community. Volunteers of ours have been printing and passing them out across communities, over 200 have been handed out so far!

Holy crap. This is terrible. The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

Barabak: She won a landslide election. But Trump and Jeffrey Epstein have her stuck in limbo

Since this has gotten a few likes, I'll direct people to this STL file: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2933021 I tried a couple of different pre-builds, and this is the one I liked best: very light and small, and very loud (I metered it at >115 dB). I like the first version better than the "fixed."

More proof we're living in a simulation (and that I am, in fact, taking crazy pills): "Coming Soon: National Security Tariffs on Peanut Butter. Seriously." www.mmmlaw.com/news-resourc...

I wonder if all the people braying about the "war on Christianity" might raise some objections if it were a *Democratic* administration who had its armed thugs shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and waiting outside Catholic Churches to disappear parishioners?

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

it's incredibly telling that Sam Altman reaches for "farmer, but not a modern farmer, an old-timey manly farmer" as someone holding the archetypal Real Job, instead of, say, "underpaid, almost certainly female modern childcare worker."

Again, every time this happens, we literally have no idea if the masked, plainclothes people are actual government agents, or private citizens acting in party-affiliated paramilitaries. The whole point of IDs & uniforms & no masks is that we know these things.

I was buying ground beef at ALDI this week and was shocked at how expensive it has gotten. And so long as this regime continues to pass idiotic tariffs food costs are going to continue to rise. Between the tariff's and Nazi Steven Miller's anti-immigrant insanity US agriculture is fucked hard.

soooo my Chicagoans, has anyone else's neighborhood facebook group gone from desperately apolitical (regarding federal politics) to at least 40% about ICE/DHS activity and organizing against it? like it's hard to overstate this shift

WaPo joins NYT, CNN, The Atlantic, Guardian and others, according to @ScottNover, in announcing it won't sign the Pentagon's controversial new press policy.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

I'm glad the hostages have been returned and many Palestinians have been freed as well. Its a big deal. But Palestinians are still occupied and this extremist Israeli government has said they're going to take Gaza and everything from the river to the sea. Just a matter of time this explodes.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Moving NASA Space Shuttle to Texas from DC Could Damage It, Experts Say www.scientificamerican.com/article/movi...

The idea that there are activists and citizens who attend protests because it’s what they believe in is completely foreign to them. If it isn’t a personal grift, they don’t understand the motivation.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes. Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

This is important. Christians publicly demonstrating real Christian values, not the tv evangelical kind. You can support this even if you don’t support the Church. I certainly don’t on most things but I applaud them on this. Remember it takes a coalition to win.

The Republican Party in 2025 stands for requiring IDs to vote, but not requiring IDs to terrorize people of color under color of law. Meanwhile, there have almost certainly been more instances of fake ICE attacking people than there have been of fraudulent voting.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

Don't look away, America. This is your country now.

As we all know, real activists who achieve real things talk about doing federal crimes on public social media all the time (do not trust anyone who talks about how cool doing federal crimes is on public social media)

This contract is ambiguous.

A federal judge ordered federal agents last week to issue two warnings before using tear gas. Witnesses said they heard no warnings and none can be heard on videos, @chicago.suntimes.com reports

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

THIS. If a politician is willing to abandon today's Inconvenient Vulnerable Group in the name of political expedience? They'll abandon them all. And fascists will not be appeased by any of it, anyway. They just switch targets. That's how this works.

Cancelled

I’m convinced he’s dealing with a serious health issue and they’re hiding all of it.

Co-sign. Under no circumstances should you EVER consider doing something so insanely reckless, dangerous, and illegal. I hope this is a false flag; if not, whatever person did this thinking that they were striking a blow for justice is a moron.

if “you could kill a bunch of people and go to jail for approximately forever” isn’t a good enough reason not to shine lasers at aircraft, may I also note that it’ll be trivially easy to catch you doing it

Terrified he died but delighted that it’s just him talking about cocaine

Pretty sure after he dies Trump is going to spend eternity forcibly cleaning out Satan’s arsehole with his tongue.

Look, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...

“The single most important problem for pro-democracy forces is that too many people — especially in position of power — seem unable to truly believe that we are living in a consolidating competitive authoritarian regime.”

That’s right! #Portland

“WHOAH! Be careful not to step in that pile of shit there!” exclaimed the man pulling his pants back up.

So she's saying they're just lazy and incompetent instead.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
