All 3 men inside of the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo “‘reiterated that there were never any ICE agents in front of the van…They came in and started shooting from the sides.’” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Everything about this take can be surmised in this fool signed the Harper’s letter. She’ll claim it’s sarcasm but this vapid nonsense matches her middling book But hey when she actually does something it’s usually in the side of the autocrats she claims to critique

God! God! God!—crack my heart!—stave my brain!—mockery! mockery! bitter, biting mockery of grey hairs

We are ALL targets. Anyone Black & brown: Supreme Court shadow docket greenlit racial profiling. Anyone who protests: activists are being rounded up through anti terrorism laws (another original homeland security creation) They’ve bought tech to hack ALL phones. Fascism is the design.

I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.

There is not a line in the world worth anyone's life.

I didn’t watch his statement video because fuck him but THIS is how he went out? “I raped some people but the real victim in all of this is me.” Oh I hope he gets oyster herpes.

Not only does this horrible story illustrate the wanton cruelty of our immigration system as it was is now, it also illustrates how utterly heartless it's been for decades. This man tried to get his citizenship for as long as it takes to raise three sons. He did everything "the right way." And...

Enemies of humanity. They are building massive polluting data centers to store our data. Our data, is what is being harvested. And yet our leaders and institutions plow ahead and adopt GAI systems that will never live up to their billing, b/c the marketing claims are impossible.

Astonishing how many self-styled progressives have turned on AOC for what clearly amounts to base misogyny.

Syria says captured Damascus bombing suspects are affiliated with ISIL https://aje.news/w7a6ln

He is like a stock villain from every low budget mob movie

The humans went out for drinks last night. We took the streetcar like responsible adults. Apparently we took all the responsibility with us because the squad did not exercise any while we were away. Exhibit 1:

ICE agents must be tried for the murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

Nothing describes the cut throat nature of US right wing politics quite like being brain dead in a hospital bed, your wife didn’t cut her trip to China early to see you, the top tier of your Party is lying about conversations with you & your President hasn’t even noticed you’re missing. #uspoli

God I miss the days when every other news item wasn’t “this awful person with way too much money just made your life worse in unimaginable ways for no good reason.”

🪶 Hope you had something tasty for dinner tonight!

When I talk about the kind of lefty rhetoric that enabled Platner, this is what I mean. "Socialist" "anti-Empire" and "the Left's Trump" (oh my god, he admit it!) But also elsewhere in this piece, the author says the rape allegations pale against the genocide in Gaza. Centrist rhetoric this ain't.

If you’ve ever worked or interacted with Dan Moraff, I’d like to chat for a story. Message marisakabas.04 on Signal.

Post station remodel only two out of four doors onto and off the platform have doorknobs which means we now have this super amazing chokepoint where everyone has to funnel into two doors

Harper’s Magazine was founded in NYC in 1850 & has been a treasured publication here since then. But the leadership needs to step up & offer their workers a fair contract, one that pays enough to live here. Right now, they are far behind their peers. (1/2)

good news everyone! access for $5/month or a one-time $3 purchase. (patreon sets the minimum at $3, not us.) title is from @reinasultan.bsky.social.

Years ago, was asked to illustrate "a diverse group of fashionable women" for a handbag company. Drew 3 diverse women. CEO had me come in-office for feedback and demanded 2/3 of the women be blonde/white, the 3rd had 1-shade darker skin and could be brunette. That was deemed "diverse enough." 🙄

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.

have you considered showing a backbone and openly opposing a deal that's going to be immeasurably harmful for markets, consumers, and labor

Jon Husted has taken $116,000 from an Epstein co-conspirator who said under oath that he helped Jon Husted’s political career. Just weeks after accepting another maximum campaign contribution from this co-conspirator, Jon Husted voted against releasing the Epstein files.

Heads up Seattle! Keep your eyes open, and wear your whistles.

Trump just denied disaster aid to four blue states, after approving aid to six red states.

Everything from ICE is a lie. CBP lies. They lied about Silvero Villegas González. They lied about Marimar Martinez, but by some miracle she lived to testify against them.

Mexico will request criminal charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody or during immigration enforcement operations by the Trump admin.

the speed at which entitled men who are invading your space and won’t back off go from “what’s up, beautiful” to “wow, fuck you bitch” the minute they are held to even one (1) single boundary is why I am not surprised to see Graham Platner go full Veruca Salt after being denied something

There are Feds in BOTY right now as this conference is taking place.

Of course AI comes for Native land. Meanwhile how many reservations don't even have clean or reliable water sources?!? Genocidal logics always find allies in capitalist expansion bc disposable peoples are always counted as resources to take. thenextweb.com/news/ais-lan...

i am once again saying that while i get this is a bit, THE DNC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING CANDIDATES, THE STATES AND THE DSCC ARE. like this is a perfect opportunity to dunk on Chuck Schumer, DO IT!

"Look, Democrats are losing male voters, and...you know who isn’t a feminized ladyboy with a skincare routine? A guy whose face literally liquefied into a puddle of lard faster than a tourist trying to climb Cadillac Mountain in July." @rebeccasaltzman.bsky.social killed it with this one y'all!

After receiving urgent medical treatment, Palestinian-American Sama Safi is being forced back into detention by the Israeli military, despite being wrongfully detained in the first place. Tell your Senators to demand Sama’s immediate, unconditional freedom so she can go home to her family safely.

Watch my psych out the goalkeeper, I say, as I hit the ball towards the left sideline and trip over my own feet, it’s not clear what move I was trying to do.

1ce has been escalating in Chicagoland. This agent in boogaloo shirt and acceleration skull gator has been aggro t3rrorizing multiple areas all week, Joliet Monday, Pilsen Tues/Wed. Today in St. Charles, he smashed a persons face into the cement while calling him "pendejo". But he let his mask down.

The mistake I think some understandably make is imagining that fascism wants to eradicate opposition. What it wants to do is cow nonviolent opposition. Small numbers of violent opponents are necessary to fascism's larger fictions.

I really love seeing the kayakers (and a canoe right now too!) on the river. It is such an illustration of how much we have improved its health over the years.

Love seeing coverage of Haymarket, a publisher I love buying from as a reader and working with as an agent

I just had a horrifying realization. It seems like the new test to prove you didn't use "AI" to write a story is gonna be sharing all your notes and drafts with editors. Which means all my frantic all-caps "WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING WHY HAVE I FORGOTTEN HOW TO WRITE" might become evidence. Fuck.
