If I won the lottery, I wouldn't tell anyone. But there would be signs.

The media coverage does not reflect this AT ALL.

RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

NYT Issues Correction After Bari Weiss Uses ‘Antifa’ Account Run By Alt-Right Trolls to Prove Left is Intolerant New York Times writer Bari Weiss has been duped (again).

Nevermind.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

wild, Miller saying that Trump has absolute authority over the military seems rather newsworthy and yet apparently CNN scrubbed it from their full youtube clip. The WH probably screamed at CNN to scrub it otherwise they wouldn't grant access anymore and CNN needs the clicks soooo here we are

Dear White Democrats:

The word you're looking for is GENOCIDE. That's what Israel is doing. You won't spontaneously combust if you call evil by its name. It feels good to have a spine.

Sincerely,

This story describes such a psychologically complex phenomenon, breaking with the parents who didn’t vaccinate you to get protected now. But it’s encouraging to read—it’s not too late to protect yourself and others, and the shots themselves are generally no big deal

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

Catching up on reading, this by @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social is excellent.
"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Calculating the Damage of Vaccine Skepticism It’s clear that we’re on the precipice of a surge in preventable diseases. But how bad will it get?

The US may be doing more than simply failing to aid global vaccination efforts, Rivka Galchen writes. “The domestic stoking of anti-vaccine sentiment is itself infectious.” Millions will die and this will be the principal consequence of Trump's rule. www.newyorker.com/science/elem...

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Pritzker says the Trump admin is about to deploy the National Guard in Chicago.

Trump no longer distancing himself from Project 2025 as he uses shutdown to further pursue its goals President Donald Trump is now openly embracing the conservative blueprint he desperately tried to distance himself from during the 2024 campaign.

As co-founder of the Stop Project 2025 Task Force, I take no joy in saying "I told you so."

DHS cameramen film their approach.

DHS cameramen film their leader.

DHS cameramen film their assault on tackled protesters.

You can see how their cameramen document their violence. This is about content creation. For the last one, I had to search my files for a photo of this moment that didn't include the face of a pained or screaming protester, but for clarity: those are tackled human beings on the ground.

Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors.

This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.

Trump administration offers migrant children $2,500 to voluntarily return to home countries The Trump administration is offering migrant children $2,500 to voluntarily return to their home countries, dangling a new incentive in efforts to persuade people to self-deport.

JUST IN: ICE didn’t say how much migrants would get or when the offer would take effect, but The AP obtained an email to migrant shelters saying children 14 years of age and older would get $2,500 each. Children were given 24 hours to respond.

In the past 4 weeks in Chicago, ICE/CBP have snatched hundreds of people off the streets & homes, shot & killed a single-father in his car, smashed & abandoned countless cars, and deployed chemical munitions at protesters, journalists, & now on public streets. Today they cuffed an alderperson.

Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker now to demand that he remove the ISP from Broadview. No state resources to protect kidnappers. Pritzker: Call off the IL state police 312-814-2121

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW:
(Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.
