Boalt Hall right now:

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

as utah phillips said, a long memory is the most radical thing in this country

Dear @democrats.org:

How about fighting the Fascists, tooth and nail, promising to try every ICE agent who acted without a judicial warrant?

You are *literally* being handed PR like this:

Fucking use it.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

yeah, no pity.

as if that would deter them. #lawlesstimes

it’s true, the greats always push the envelope.

Hong Kong's last major pro-democracy party moves to disband Hong Kong's Democratic Party said late on Thursday it would start preparations to disband and wind up its affairs after a meeting of its leadership, amid a years-long national security crackdown in the China-ruled city.

btw, djt calling dems domestic terrorists is more than bluster. it's another authoritarian playbook move.

hong kong again: as part of its 2020 crackdown, beijing made pro-democratic parties illegal & jailed dem officials.
the party disbanded earlier this year.

yes, this was an exceptional takedown, that in this time of censorship suggests o'donnell's days at msnbc are numbered.

This is really sick stuff, I guess puppy killer Noem is really proud of herself.

At the risk of hyperbole these really may be the most horrible people to ever live.

I can't exaggerate how important it is that every ICE officer is met with contempt & mockery in public, everywhere they go, for the rest of their lives.

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

take notes, people.

as previously noted, it really does feel like the best of our mentors see the road we're on, know how it ends and are tapping out because they don't particularly want to be here when it happens. #RIPJaneGoodall

again with the subways. magas are the new eloi.

most farmers know a bailout doesn’t help the larger issue, which is the loss of clients and market share. they learned during the first administration.

Trump’s Generals Speech Proved to Be Dumb, Deluded... and Dangerous President Trump and Pentagon Pete seem determined to declare war on America itself.

So, Trump essentially declared war on the United States today. Again. He's utilizing the full resources of the U.S. government to target...us, American citizens, we're the enemy. How does that feel? My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-gener...

good lord

hard not to hold the manager at least partly responsible for that 0-70 when trailing headed into the ninth.
