This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

great list.

Just a reminder: senate republicans have “gone nuclear” twice in the last two months to ram through over 150 Trump appointees. Now they’re acting like they just learned about it.

A scanned legal document from the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, titled “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. MICHAEL RABBITT, KATHERINE MARIE ABUGHAZALEH, ANDRE MARTIN, CATHERINE SHARP, BRIAN STRAW, and JOSELYN WALSH.” It shows case number 1:25-cr-00693, filed on October 23, 2025, before Judge April M. Perry and Magistrate Judge Heather K. McShain. The document is marked “UNDER SEAL” and notes violations under Title 18, U.S. Code, Sections 111(a)(1), 372, and 2. The first section is labeled COUNT ONE and begins: “The SPECIAL JUNE 2024 GRAND JURY charges:” followed by four subpoints (a–d) describing an ICE officer (“Agent A”), the Broadview Service Staging Area in Illinois, and the defendants’ residences in the Northern District of Illinois. A red “FILED 10/23/2025” stamp appears at the top right, along with the signature of THOMAS G. BRUTON, Clerk, U.S. District Court.

A page from a U.S. District Court indictment titled “COUNT THREE” in case number 1:25-cr-00693, filed October 23, 2025, in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The document states that the Special June 2024 Grand Jury incorporates previous allegations and charges that on or about September 26, 2025, in Broadview, Illinois, defendant Katherine Marie Abughazaleh “forcibly impeded, intimidated, and interfered with an officer of the United States, namely Agent A,” while the officer was performing official duties. It concludes that this conduct violated Title 18, United States Code, Sections 111(a)(1) and 2.

Kat Abughazaleh (@katmabu.bsky.social) has just been indicted by the DOJ over participation in protests against ICE at its Broadview facility in Illinois. This is a brazen weaponization of the DOJ to target political opponents with bogus charges.

It is legitimately good. Just re-watched it after finishing Andor. Something interesting I read about Rogue One is that it was originally planned as an episode for a show called Star Wars: Underworld.

Again, I encourage you to talk to your local officials (mayor, city council, state reps and senators) about working immediately to limit the use of public and private area facilities for detention. If immigration enforcement doesn't yet have a big presence in your community, do it preemptively.

I've talked before about power struggles within hardening authoritarianism. Usually, regime supporters fight over using rule-of-law in crackdowns (with massive abuses, of course) vs. completely embracing extrajudicial methods. Here, we see the latter dominating. Which is very bad news going forward.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Ezra Klein Accidentally Shows How the Media Brought Us Trump The prominent liberal pundit made up a fake version of Charlie Kirk to praise, laundering his reputation the way a lot of mainstream media launders MAGA

The unspoken premises of these "media lost trust" laments:
-conservatives' opinion of mainstream media matters most
-some of the biggest media outlets don't count as the media
-anyone left of center losing trust doesn't count as loss of trust

So the obvious "solution" is reach out more to the right

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer

1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else

2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
