Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

"lying silver-tongued charlatan runs to the US, attempts to reinvent himself, turns out to be pretty good at an important job" this is like one of the foundational American Stories www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/u...

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

"And in light of an alarming increase in domestic violence, we are instructing victims to longer provoke it by being late with dinner."

Something fundamental has broken in the brains of elites. No matter how many op-eds they read, write and publish denouncing identity politics, they still think it's a heterodox viewpoint you can't find anywhere.

We really need to retire "contrarian" as a descriptor for Weiss immediately. The reason she is getting this job right now is because of her *non-contrarian* sensibilities. She espouses views that the US's current power structure likes.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Is it too late to add some others shutdown demands, eg stop deploying the national guard to cities for no reason, violently detaining people with masks on, murdering people in international waters, eliminating federal agencies, using the civil rights act to recreate Jim Crow…

Those who are so inclined to immediately dismiss all the seemingly grandiose reports of torture and abuse in the Israeli prison system should read this report from B'Tselem entitled: "Welcome to Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps"

Jury nullification has never been more important in your lifetime.

You all realize ICE are slave catchers? That’s the horrifically simple truth. They make money off of every person they kidnap and rip from their families to traffic to private prison owners who get our tax money to hurt them. What will you do? Don’t answer me here.

I assume this was done through ARNORTH since they'd have OPCON of any Guard forces in a T10 status, so suffice to say going along with this charade means there's yet another target for Dem investigations and demanding resignations Guillot is rapidly approaching jail (or at least crimes) status too

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it. Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes. He's now charged with murder.

Black people who have been suicidal will tell you hanging themselves from a tree outside was always off the table.

racism in the trans community is extremely real and extremely dangerous. unfortunately, a lot of white trans people haven't done the work to be anti-racist and don't notice how they mistreat and dehumanize Black and brown trans women. you gotta put the work in. bring POC into your social circles.

Dem leaders are just not up to the job. I understand healthcare is vital, but if we dont have a democracy we won't have to worry about Healthcare. Why are dem leaders not in the streets with protesters???????

With at least half a million people still left in Gaza City, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a "final warning" for residents to evacuate, saying those who remain will soon be regarded as “terrorists or terrorist supporters.” mondoweiss.net/2025/10/isra...

Please note that the things Mills is most mad about—false calls, and his officers being exposed to chemical weapons—have nothing to do with the feds attacking protesters. He's perfectly happy to have ISP do that instead so long as his guys are unbothered.

It is a cascade of inhumanity unconsidered by its authors and truly monstrous in its details and breadth, and I hope everyone will consider that EVERY SINGLE DETENTION is a repetition of this complicated, terrible torture of innocents.

Today, I drove an hour and a half with my wife and a couple friends to pick up a neighbor who was summarily, inexplicably arrested by ICE at a check-in ten days ago and then just as inexplicably released, 100 miles from home today. It was a happy occasion, all things considered, but...

Each act of immigration detention unleashes a wave of cruelty that extends far beyond the state’s act of violence, shattering lives, tearing families apart, and poisoning the moral core of society itself. #CrueltyIsTheOnlyPoint

It's bleakly funny about how the GOP was able to form a multi-racial reactionary coalition largerly through the sheer power of anti-black racism in this country (and exploiting intra-Hispanic racism too), only to go "wait, we actually hate Hispanics too" at every opportunity

Governor, you need to direct state law enforcement to be present during DHS raids to keep the peace & document DHS abuse. State troopers MUST defend peaceful protestors. DHS agents don't have immunity from aggravated assaults under state law. youtu.be/sOmOWf-HklU

i think anyone taught by ilan wurman ought to ask the university of minnesota law school for their money back

Black Lives Matter was the last true bastion against fascism that posed a real threat to what the regime is now And instead of supporting it, many of you “both sides’d” it because of your loyalty to carcerality and lack of imagination Our ancestors fought for a world they’d never see. You can too

For all of the people who want to know about suing the federal government: Google "sovereign immunity." Then Google "qualified immunity." Then you'll understand why fixing so much of what we see requires defunding the police.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

One of the things we are going to have to be very, very aware of is that a lot of people who are being heavily armed right now will simply not be willing to accept the results of a democratic election because they will go to jail.

We need to turn to lessons from the 60s & 70s with COINTELPRO destroying Black movements from the inside including with assassinations, & the MOVE bombing of the 80s. The same struggles repeat & there are elders with wisdom. And this is why we will not get through without centering Black struggle.

ICE / DHS shot a woman in Chicago because she has been working to identify the secret police behind the masks. According to the @chicago.suntimes.com story it sounds like federal agents used live rounds as the victim needed to be brought to the hospital. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

CPD just formed another line separating protestors from the federal agents. The crowd boos. A chant of "who do you serve, who do you protect?" starts up.

Remaining feds left the scene in a large caravan, deploying more tear gas straight into the crowd - and right at my feet - as they left.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

congress has more or less vanished as an institution since 9/11 and it seems like a direct consequence of this is that they never, ever passed any kind of tech regulation and left it all up to various agencies to patchwork it together, and now here we are

Dem politicians interested in a 2028 presidential run: I need you to be keeping lists of these incidents (which you do not share with this administration) and vowing to investigate, fire and if possible prosecute the people responsible please

Honestly I'm tired of unnamed lawyers being upset that their firms capitulated, federal prosecutors concerned about the politicization of DOJ, and reporters dismayed that their media owners are capitulating to Trump. Either do something or accept that you watched democracy collapse and did nothing.

Want to pull out this slide: people deserve to know there’s a growing mountain of evidence finding more Covid infections = more likelihood of being left chronically ill. There’s a temptation to think that if you recovered ok last time, then you will next time too, but that’s not what the data say.

Doing massive damage across the economy and then individually "saving" those who kiss up to the leader, doesn't seem like the best way to build a strong economy.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

It’s very weird that they don’t seem to know that Puerto Ricans are Americans. It’s because they hate Spanish and everything associated with it. Racist motherfuckers.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

It's too long a story to explain how I know this, but I once found out that the FBI made challenge coins about how they tried to force Apple to break iPhone encryption. Challenge coins celebrating shitty behavior is deeply a part of FBI culture.
