just guessing but I suspect the reason they're haphazardly bulldozing half the white house is not going to end up being very smart

Happy World Wombat Day! Sound on to listen to the very soothing munching noises of this chonky wombat...

cops tackling and marching off with a giant penis, Kristi Noem menacing a chicken she swears is antifa, feds pepper-spraying a frog ridicule is an extremely effective protest tactic and foil for authoritarianism

May your protest today be peaceful and your message loud. For the generations before you who fought against tyranny and fascism. For the generations yet to come. America has no need for Kings and Oligarchs.

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up. Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other. We go through this every 3 years and it works every time.

"Hundreds of Catholic priests, nuns and lay people led a march from a Catholic church in Maywood to the ICE detention center in Broadview..." www.fox32chicago.com/news/faith-l...

Don't try funny stuff, Lions.

There is no rock bottom for ICE.

Zach Bryan, thank you for being on the good side of history.

A new ICE escalation in Chicago....kidnapping what looks like a white, middle-aged, U.S. citizen because he was recording them.

It’s remarkable to realize Diane Keaton created a signature look and sensibility back in the 1970s and for about half a century continued to be a creative inspiration for how to be yourself in a world that tries so hard to put you in a box. Well done, Diane Keaton. RIP.

hello from outside the ice detention center in broadview, illinois. i’m at the corner of 25th and harvard, where a small (for now) crowd is gathering to protest the masked federal agents abducting people throughout chicagoland. state and local police have already made a handful of arrests today.

For you Diane Keaton..will miss you..🦋😢 now you’re with IZ…💕 youtu.be/Z26BvHOD_sg

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

🚨 🚨 This is a producer for WGN Chicago. This is Putin-style autocracy. WATCH

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I've always loved Chicago!

With his ban on military shaving waivers, Pete Hegseth knows damn well who he’s pushing out: Black troops.

Putin not Musk is probably the richest man on earth but that only makes the point stronger — control of media by oligarchs leads to folly, fascism, and war

I'm officially opposed to college football teams not wearing their team colors. I expect Oregon Duck players to wear some green, not the black/white/gray combo they are wearing tonight.

Way to go Central High! Here's a related report about students/athletes in OPS transfering to the Westside district, causing an imbalance and lopsided victories. flatwaterfreepress.org/friday-night...

FBI goons at Cozy Restaurant & Pancake House in Chicago Keep up the pressure!

Watching the interview with VP Kamala Harris on @maddow.msnbc.com tonight. So many emotions -- sorrow over what could have been, but also hope and inspiration.

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

Ignore him.

It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do

🚨NOW! A female protesting outside Broadview ICE facility is shot repeatedly with sting balls, thrown to the ground, maced point blank in the face, placed in a chokehold, arrested then taken into the ICE facility. #AbolishICE #Chicago #ImpeachRemoveConvict 🎥@fordfisher

As the artwork on my office wall says: TIDES WILL TURN.

Kirk is not a modern day St. Paul, despite what Cardinal Dolan says. The only thing that such myth-making achieves is fomenting resentment, curtailing dialogue, and stifling action to otherwise prevent this tragedy from happening again, says John Grosso.

There’s a terrible situation at an ICE facility in Chicago. ICE GOONS are forcefully arresting people, pushing through protesters, and even lobbing tear gas at reporters.

“This is an unprecedented abuse of the FCC’s power,” @caitlinvogus.bsky.social told @newrepublic.com. “The ‘public interest’ standard was never meant to be used as a cudgel for the government to pressure broadcasters into only saying what the president wants them to say.”

We are point where … Karl Rove and … John “Torture Memo” Yoo feel compelled to loudly and publicly denounce MAGA overreach (louder, honestly, than many Dem leaders). I don’t know what it means: things are abt to get really bad? Or proof of fatal overreach? But either way, it’s just wild.

i am once again asking if you know that if you routinely sing to a cat while they're curled up on your chest they will learn that singing means cuddle time and come trotting over from wherever they are when you do. it's important that we get this message out to those who need it most

Watching "The Way We Were" in honor of Robert Redford tonight. Crazy how that movie hits in 2025.

I believe this 1000% Showing students how we got here. Teaching them how to evaluate evidence for themselves. Enabling them to evaluate the present for themselves. SO important right now. Understanding the past is our future.

Huh an awful lot of rhetoric shifted from Old Testament to New Testament over the past few hours

My final though on this topic...

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.

how did the protesters know he was going to be at that restaurant is what iiii want to know
