For my Chicago neighbors, here's the petition to sign to oppose the delivery robots: nosidewalkbots.org

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

I love my friends

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

emphasis on the spite

if youre trans and youre struggling to justify why you as a person should be allowed to take up space in the universe just consider that by your sheer existence you make a lot of the worst people on earth mad enough that they will die early deaths from stress. so thats a p good reason

I am going to commit actionable threats against my employers

In the struggle against authoritarianism, the pro-democracy opposition needs ruthlessly strategic leadership.

Chuck Schumer ain’t it. It’s time for him to resign. We don’t have time for more Schumer Surrenders.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Claim: Mamdani is a communist. False: Any real communist will happily spend six hours explaining why this isn’t true.

Everyday we must remind people that fascist gestapo agents and their enablers are committing atrocities. This is an ethnic cleansing. These are crimes against humanity. And they will be held accountable.

Covering this as a national ban is absolutely correct, and is the only framing that it needs to be. Its horrifying. There's no reason to think they'd stop at kids too.

Let's all keep pretending the forces behind this are just 'concerned parents with reasonable questions' rather than deranged bigots

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Federal agents have tear gassed Chicago neighborhoods three days in a row. Confirmed gassings during recent immigration raids in: Logan Square, Brighton Park, Albany Park, Little Village, East Side, Lakeview, Irving Park and Avondale.

Thousands more have had their families ripped apart. Parents, spouses, children, siblings, cousins, grandparents disappeared Thousands beyond that live in fear and terror.

Nearly 3K arrested in Chicago immigration crackdown, BP Chief Bovino says Border Control Commander Greg Bovino spoke ABC News ahead of his federal court appearance in Chicago Tuesday.

Trump Administration Live Updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing

White House "changes course"? No. Trump lied. This was always the plan, obviously. Now people can see it, is all. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

The press treated Biden pardoning his son to shield him from the obviously malicious and lawless incoming Trump administration as a bigger scandal than anything Trump has done with DOJ since. (Guess why this is the case)

I went to get fernet and imagine my surprise seeing what was right next to it lmao. I was talking to the cashier and was like, "people say it tastes like piss but I say it tastes like GOOD piss"

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
