Perry: "I have seen no credible evidence that there is danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois."

"no credible evidence that there is danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois."

It's mind boggling than in 2025 a federal judge in Chicago just uttered these words in court case between against the President of the United States. My god.

Scoop: Dominion Voting sold to company run by ex-GOP election official Dominion is one of the biggest election equipment providers and was used by 27 states during the 2024 election.

it's almost as if the extraction class has hijacked the press to help them use race and gender as wedge issues to distract the plebs from the fact they're destroying consumer protection, corporate oversight, democracy, and labor rights while selling the country for scrap off the back loading dock

not great that the country's paper of record has credulously decided that a nonexistent group exists, people can be a part of it, and it has its own experts

Iโ€™m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'youโ€™re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

haven't seen this posted anywhere other than Reddit, but it seems like G&L Instruments, the last company set up by Leo Fender, the inventor of some of the most famous electric guitars and basses of all time, shut down this week

anyone know more ?

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

The post-9/11 militarization of police forces remains one of the worst reallocations of material in US history. It will be the tool with which fascism likely spreads unopposed until it chokes our country. There are no well-regulated militias out there to stop these Desert Storm wannabes

I do love that the people who built bluesky learned nothing about running a social network beforehand and are thus committed to making all the same social network mistakes as everyone who came before them, from first principles

i mean most art is to a greater or lesser degree, but folklore at least was around a set of characters, rather than herself specifically

I Hate My Friend The chatbot-enabled Friend necklace eavesdrops on your life and provides a running commentary thatโ€™s snarky and unhelpful. Worse, it can also make the people around you uneasy.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this โ€” pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks โ€” they would be sued into oblivion.

Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.
