Winning with misinformation: New research identifies link between endorsing easily disproven claims and prioritizing symbolic strength Conversations around misinformation that assume everyone cares about literal truth may be missing the point.

"Our new research, published in the Journal of Social Psychology, suggests that some people consider it a “win” to lean in to known falsehoods."

New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses.

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

The first Antifa Counter Terrorism Task Force Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

The ones listed in this thread below are a great starting point for most people. Just remember, this isn't an anarchist zine fair. Focus on the basics, pick 5 - 10 total, and print off as many as you can so everyone can take one of each. This way, we can agitate, educate, and organize our cities!

Depends on what you're into really, but Subterranean (downstairs), Livewire, Bourbon on Division, Liar's Club

Every bit of this mess that we’re currently enduring is because rich people need more money & they dgaf if you’re hungry or homeless or dead in order for them to get more money

Excellent thread on how the right projects political violence onto the left. They consistently reframe violence perpetrated by right-wing affiliated people as leftist. This isn’t new and is a common tactic of their projection and distraction.

a lot of what seem to be fresh horrors is simply that you are now seeing in full view how the sausage was made, and perhaps now instead of going along to get along you might go with the people asking inconvenient & uncomfortable questions about it

it wasn't safety you felt, it was numbness

I couldn't believe this but it's true, Thiel can't decide whether the antichrist is Greta or Big Yud. Positively reeling.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire A $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The bailout is going through because it's for Rob Citrone, a hedge fund manager who's friends of the US Treasure Secretary. This is nuts.

Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom."

This is a good time to revisit our guide to preparing for repression:

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

The Pillars The pillars are ancient if not immortal, having existed since the dawn of recorded history.

Over on The Snarl's Dev blog, we talk about a key aspect of the setting: the gargantuan trees called pillars that make up the entirety of the world.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

*Many more neighbors were affected, but you won't get tallies on those numbers from the media because they don't get free ambulance rides and a PR team to issue statements on their behalf

Educate yourself about informants!

Years ago, a group of people who were directly harmed by informant provocateurs put together this checklist, drawing on their own experiences and those of other activists as well as information from informants who have gone public.

“Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, b----,” before pulling over & shooting the woman five times.”

DHS has lied, a lot, about every act of violence.
