This remarkable therapy uses an approach the Trump administration just cancelled funding for.

It's cracking me up that he doesn't even bother to continue pretending that any of this is about Charlie Kirk

The version released yesterday censored agents' faces. But this version does not:

Demonstrators were shot with more pepper balls and rubber bullets Monday at ICE’s Broadview facility. “The fact that they’re shooting me is getting me more worked up. … Every day off I’ll make sure I’m out here.” “It’s like igniting a fire.” Story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Broadview Fire Department said the village was reaching out to the DHS “to demand the fence be removed immediately” because it was installed “illegally” without a permit. “In case of fire or other emergencies… Broadview fire apparatus would be unable to use the road to accesss these businesses.”

YouTube removed a channel that was dedicated to posting AI-generated videos of women being shot in the head following 404 Media’s request for comment. The videos were clearly generated with Google’s new AI video generator tool. 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-generated...

Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

NWSRR is now reporting ICE agents snatched two people at the migrant shelter near River Park this morning:

BREAKING — Notices for the Disney+ price increase went out at noon ET today, confirming my scoop from last night. Details: www.vulture.com/article/disn...

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

WIRED asked security and privacy experts for their advice for hardening personal privacy protections and resisting surveillance. Here are their recommendations.

“I think we’re good, man,” the second agent said as he began to drive off. “Just shooken up a little.”

These pepper balls aren't just an irritant; they can cause plenty of damage when aimed directly at faces or other fragile areas. This is what one did to a protester's lip last Friday.

"The Lefts can't get their act together..." Bitch they've been killing, imprisoning, and targeting leftists and leftist orgs FOR GENERATIONS.

This is an unwelcome but unsurprising development.

“Grassroots unions across Italy called for a 24-hour general strike on Monday in solidarity with the people of Gaza […] From Milan to Palermo, Italians poured on to the streets in at least 75 municipalities across the country. + www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Broadview, IL today

Monstrous

l a e r s t' i t i h s oh

"Pain only hurts" is Chicago energy

The whole administration in one quote

Video of a federal agent (who was present at Broadview today) putting a woman in a chokehold as other protesters carry her away after he shot her with pepper balls at close range.

Asked this guy how he felt about choking women today as he stared down at us all from the roof. He proudly declared he likes it.

GWAR becoming the target of a right-wing cancel cycle is genuinely one of the funnier things i have witnessed in a few months

Why do people in the U.S., particularly white people, romanticize the 1960s in the way they do? The 60s were a terrible time and the VAST MAJORITY of white people had NO ROLE in protests etc... In fact most of them hated the protests and everyone involved in them.

Had a lovely convo with my friend @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social today about making space for joy, and y'all, I am so hyped to celebrate my anniversary this week. There's so much stress, worry, and grief in all of our lives right now (well, in the lives of decent people). I am hyped to lean into joy.

lead singer: ARE YOU READY TO ROCK???? me in the pit trying to clean the front of my glasses w my tshirt: JUST A SEC, BUD

I'm not watching and I figured this would be the direction of things...

Trekkies Against Fascism shirts are stocked! So far I've sent out 50 of these to customers in four countries - a few have already been delivered. I still have at least one of almost every available size ready to ship right away. Other sizes may be purchased on backorder. willburrows.art/shop

UPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production. Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization. David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair, donated 250K to Turning Point USA last year.

In a lot of pain. Took a strong painkiller and ate a s'more. Painkiller not working yet. Might need another s'more to get through this.

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

I was interviewed for this piece in South Side Weekly about the tear gas and pepper ball attacks ICE waged against protesters on Friday.

ICE agents peel out of their installation in Broadview as agents on the rooftop fire more pepper balls at protesters.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

You know things are bad when the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board [which is terrible] is writing editorials like this: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/e... [gift link]

Idk it feels like something is shifting. This tweet was also the language of the AP push alert, and just now the Times chimed in:

I regret to inform you that Gwar has pushed the boundaries of good taste.

At Saturday’s base-building training, we had some folks from out of state including someone from Milwaukee who brought me a thank you gift for a book club Zoom I’d done a while back. The gift was trek themed and included these socks.

As part of its continued sanctification of Charlie Kirk, NYT followed a random person who shared clips of the funeral to their personal Facebook account, and featured the story on its home page
