I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

If you want to know what is happening right now then a recommended follow is Sarah Kendzior. I’d also say to buy her books and subscribe to her newsletter; these are insightful, incredibly eloquent, and provide a steady, clear voice with much needed context in a time when not much makes sense.

Reminder that the FBI is still refusing to let local law enforcement in on the investigation into Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s deaths. This is a cover up in plain sight.

The terrorism inside Alligator Alcatraz continues "..reports of mosquito infestations, flooding, poor medical care, and lackluster food and limited water access.. Most of the detainees are from Latin America, according to the ACLU. Many, as the Miami Herald reported, do not have criminal records."

A UAE firm dropped $187M into Trump's crypto company months before his admin approved the sale of advanced AI chips to the UAE. This jaw dropping conflict of interest degrades our national security. Is Trump conducting policy to advance American interests or his own bottom line?

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

When I hear tech bros yapping abt computer-humans they all sound like clueless teenage sci-fi dorks. Sure, Jan. Kill the humans, kill the planet, who needs 'em bc the flying robots who don't need air, water, or a desire for life or living things of any kind will be in charge.

A shockingly large # of Americans embrace a chaotic, terrorized society in to "feel more safe." The nazi playbook on full display in 2026.

but do pelt DHS agents with it

Call to Activism- Joe Gallina 🚨A video is going viral showing a sign language interpreter the moment Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f*ck out of Minneapolis.” She understood the assignment. 😎

ICE terrorists murdered her in broad daylight

The US has always been this way, but now with unstable, pedo sociopaths in charge. Watching Pete Hegsworth brag like a douche frat boy abt the illegal bombing and kidnapping is next level sadistic fascism.

He just openly announced "our oil companies are going in to rebuild their infrastructure". KIdnapping, theft and pillaging completely out in the open, vs how the US normally Fs with Latin America.

Community members made music and noise outside the Hampton Inn where ICE goons stayed in Eagan, Minnesota.

Truth.

These guys have fantasies of living in secure bubbles, only interacting with other billionaire elites. But who will cook their food, clean their houses & landscape the estate? As the wealth gap increases, their paranoia will skyrocket. As it should, if history is any indication.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

“The same systems that made sure Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color were last in line for clean air, safe housing, and political power are the same ones making sure we’re also first in line to drown, burn, or be displaced.” - @merirei.com My first for @unicornriot.bsky.social

Hot take: Dave Chappelle and Bill Maher can both go to hell.

Merry Christmas from Israel 🤬

Many of us just want to know how bad it's going to get over the next 10 or 20 years. We want the grim details, without any sugar coating. We're mature enough to handle it. We're not little kids who need bedtime stories. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/how-bad-will...

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

So chicken farms have started spending millions of dollars putting in state of the art air filtration and circulation systems - because culling whole flocks to mitigate avian flu is expensive - but we have done zero to improve air quality in schools - because kids are expendable I guess.

Losing 77 billion dollars making something no one wants and pivoting to another thing that no one wants

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

As we get ready to shop for Thanksgiving remember the farm workers who harvest the food. We wouldn't enjoy a #Thanksgiving dinner without their hard work. #WeFeedYou

“Back in 2020, many voices on cable news and in the media openly called for the mass infection of an unvaccinated population, including children, with a brand new SARS virus. Knowing very little about this new virus, they proclaimed that there was nothing more to understand.” #COVID

MAGA rendered powerless by hurled sandwich: my latest for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This piece doesn't encourage alcohol use. It's a thoughtful take on the latest trend that we all must stop drinking bc even 1 glass is bad. Multiple factors contribute to brain health + it's important to note who is promoting zero alcohol. marks-newsletter-4655f1.beehiiv.com/p/the-case-f...

Lessons from the Nuremberg Trials of 1946, when Nazi leaders were tried for their crimes against humanity. “I followed orders” and “I didn’t know” were not accepted. Lest that pattern of government cruelty, crime & corruption repeat here #DefendTheConstitution #HistoryMatters 🇺🇸 youtu.be/RsA6AdCRI-k

Two Illinois Guardsmen claim to have sworn an oath over orders, stating that they will not turn on their city

Why is there always only a tiny portion of congress willing to aikido the script of Right Wing media jackasses? Congressman Neguse (CO) appropriately rephrases the Q.

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is. They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

Republicans are taking away health care from 15 million Americans. They are doubling premiums for 20 million. Now, they are illegally withholding emergency SNAP funding that keeps millions of children from going hungry. All so they can give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.

Welcome to your surveillance state. #ICE #Gestapo #Palantir #PeterThiel #Trump #Putin #Krasnov #KGB #FSB

it's crazy that if you're a cat, your only two life outcomes are eating out of a trash can or getting treated like a little baby

Mark Cuban graduated from the Reagan school of Trickle Down economics. Over 40 yrs this has decimated the middle class. And. The stock market existed in the 70s when the rich still paid their fare share. Tax loopholes for the rich gave us billionaires. Who still, apparently, don't have enough.

Feature not a bug

The power of addiction and the addiction of power - Gabor Máte. "Don't look to the ppl in power for solutions, they're some of the emptiest people." youtu.be/66cYcSak6nE?...

How to respond to societal collapse- Sarah Wilson youtu.be/l7Ay73HHHrE?...

The construction needs to halted with the gaping hole open through winter.

Ppl are endlessly fascinating. You only have to screw over those they see below them & they'll let you take whatever they want. SNAP disappears in the 'poorest' West Coast state on 10/31. It won't change any MAGA votes nor get the "Left" to oust their lousy leaders.

I would never wish to turn a much loved dead ex into a regurgitated version of things they said previously. Talk abt sucking the soul out to build a robot. How sad. Unless I was in it for the grift, like this guy.

The hearing will take place before U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis in the Northern District of Illinois.

People are so driven by jealousy and envy (it's why the fascists easy screw their base as long as the "lesser thans" get screwed more) they'll have to isolate us or keep surveillance prices hidden from public view. Otherwise, expect checkout line violence.

The Gaza Soup Kitchen run by Hani Almadhoun and family is currently feeding 3000 people a day under the monstrous conditions of the engineered famine happening before our eyes. You can help feed at least a few people. Please donate: gofund.me/e37b4bae
