Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."

Why on earth would it be important for a *reporter* to work in the office? Do these people not know what reporters do?

I was hoping someone would talk to Junglepussy.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Kwaidan Bram Stoker’s Dracula Night of the Hunter Carnival of Souls

this is the most like a mike tyson's punch out guy i have ever seen anyone look

So the "next frontier" is that they will keep kidnapping our neighbors, terrorizing our communities, and pulling guns on us in the street, but Dems will fight for them to be unmasked while doing it? I bet they'll just put those gas masks on a little more often. They love gassing our neighborhoods.

I talked about Star Wars and movies from the 70s

"Look, I'm one of a handful of people that don't take corporate PAC money." "What about AIPAC money? You take AIPAC money, don't you?" "A minuscule percentage of my resources come from..." "I read it's like $800,000...."

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

israel has already broken the ceasefire

Right after Prince died, D'Angelo went on THE TONIGHT SHOW and performed "Sometimes It Snows In April" with Princess. It remains one of the most beautiful, emotionally raw things I've ever heard. RIP. (Audio-only at this link, but it's still worth hearing.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeV7...

Things ICE is afraid of: Street vendors Delivery guys Women in bathrobes Ambulances Whistles People on bikes It’s like they put your neighbor’s yippy dog in charge of the gestapo

Oh wait that wasn’t even an embellishment huh they’re really wylin out

Pop stars should get a grip, but agents who point guns at unarmed people on bikes are totally rational. Got it.

Rest in power to a true American hero.

I hate the word pretentious, but people should be more pretentious. There’s nothing wrong with reading easy stuff, but it shouldn’t be all you read. It should be a little embarrassing to only read books that don’t challenge you.

That new Nike/Ken Griffey Jr. ad features a snippet of Bo Jackson running up the wall in 1990 and I think you could go all in if you wanted that this was the single coolest play in baseball history

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Same group? Is that a pistol being pointed at the guy in blue?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what are you going to do about these dangerous thugs threatening peaceful Illinois citizens trying to protect their neighborhood?

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

The ultimate “three tickets for Challengers please” photo

Every single ice person is the bully in school who was only tough around their friends and would get the shit kicked out of them when it counted. Just an astounding amount of bitch with these people

Also can we talk about how insane it is to act like consumers have some social obligation to “find a use” for a new product, rather than the onus being on products designers to make useful shit?

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

They’re so fucking scared. a bunch of little boys jumping out of their big twucks with all their tactical gear to throw a tantrum at some guy on a bike.

Just about everyone vulnerable has been told to stay inside. There are literally hundreds of trained emergency response people on the streets of the 1.8 sq mile neighborhood. ICE is driving through alleys looking for anyone who’s brown This is Fugitive Slave Act stuff + foreign occupation

ICE / Border Patrol threatening to arrest a cyclist for following and recording in Chicago

another day of border patrol and ice terrorizing chicago—and of spontaneous community resistance. they tear-gassed community members on a residential street in albany park. they pulled a gun on a rapid responder in rogers park. they abducted people from alleys and parking lots and train stations.

Pretty deep in the NFL season to be learning about a new show on CBS. Congratulations to Elsbeth on existing

thank god the red zone channel started running commercials. when it was commercial-free i'd get to 7:30 p.m., look at how i'd spent my day, and realize i'd burned through an entire sunday without growing or developing at all as a consumer. and if i'm not a consumer i'm nothing at all

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

This is the Times describing Tony Soprano as a peacemaker for not breaking people’s legs when they pay protection money.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Hey the lostprophets guy got murdered in prison. Finally some good news

Hard to find a more obvious example of the journalism adage “If someone says it’s raining outside and someone else says it isn’t, your job is not to quote them both, your job is to go outside.”

A story indistinguishable from those depicted/dramatized in all the WWII / Holocaust movies and plays and novels we grew up with

my life for one of these white dudes in power to risk simply push past and risk getting arrested for doing the job they are explicitly legally allowed to do

Targeting elementary schools had woken up what feels like an unprecedented level of community activity. “The feds might be at your kids school.” is activating a lot of people.

these people are stealing from you and laughing at you

i’ll never get over this

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

every fucking time

the cameras cutting to A-Rod and Jeter as they do this is cinema
