did i need to learn fortran? no. but is it making my research better? also no.

The state goons are powerless before the awesome might of someone in an inflatable frog costume, and you seriously expect me to believe the situation is hopeless?

inching a bit too close to "historical event" for my taste

This is the 19th death of a person in custody of ICE since Trump turned it into a poorly-trained personal army of terror.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

In my youth older Italians would tell you fondly about how when the fascists realized they were cooked, they began to slip away first in a trickle & then suddenly almost all went to ground or fled in a rush - often in disguise. Sometimes they were caught on the edge of town. They know they're hated.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

I've pulled beauty from the jaws of creation and yet still you all forget my power

the decline of organized labor in the US is a large problem

my favorite generic response to hearing my friend is doing something fun is "ooh what a treat!" one of the most earnest things youll ever heard me, the treat guy, say

BREAKING: A video from Chicago shows a masked ICE agent slamming a truck driver to the ground during a stop on 47th Street, right outside Elizabeth Beauty Salon.

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

I keep going back to this, but one of the reasons South Korea has an incredibly effective protest culture is because they have *decades* of organizational experience through daily/weekly protesting. it helps a lot to do the routine stuff to be able to pull off the big stuff.

I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists."

The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Just witnessed Chicagoans following this undercover ICE vehicle (Black pick-up truck) heading south on Ashland honking their horns incessantly and alerting everyone that ICE was coming.

and don't get me started on volume

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

generals gathered in their masses

One thing everyone on this site can agree on is that instead of listening to the new Taylor Swift album people should listen to real music like Steely Dan

i actually prefer it when the mods actively hate the user base and vice versa, that’s how every great message board worked for years and i think we should give it a whirl

first time in months trump has used "democratic party" instead of "democrat party"

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

My god.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

he was years ahead of his time

to be fair, most graduate students are annoying, malicious, and do not read. but this seems a bit much

YouTube video by New York Daily News Sen. Eric Adams: Combating Gun Violence

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content
