The different between the right and centrists is that the right gleefully kills millions of people and centrists present mass murder as a technical solution, like they added up all the numbers and carried a zero and oops, sorry, millions have to die.

Feds quietly plan Pittsburgh office for unspecified law enforcement NPR and the Washington Post both reported last month that the office space request is being made on behalf of ICE.

NEW - The feds are seeking Pittsburgh office space for an unspecified law enforcement agency expansion in the region. Reporting from WaPo and NPR indicate that ICE is behind the request as part of a 10,000 officer nationwide expansion www.axios.com/local/pittsb...

This is my family’s cemetery. Generations of us are here. DHS thugs attacked the workers who laid my father to rest and tend to his gravesite. i dont know whether to cry or yell. I hope these DHS thugs find no peace in this life and the next.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

One continuous scene of two separate run-ins with ICE from an alley in Rogers Park this morning, from three entirely different POVs.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Suzie rizzio via X (@Suzierizzo1): "ICE agents just snatched a Journalist & were Speeding away when they hit a woman’s vehicle that was going to work & doing nothing wrong! They almost left the scene after slamming into her,but then snatched her out of her car at gunpoint and took her with them! 🤬"

The latest from ICE in Chicago:

You cannot trust anything any of these assholes say. They killed a guy in cold blood in Franklin Park and lied about that too. "Do something b----." Yes, that's what you're living for. An excuse

how many good guys could a good guy good if a good guy could good guys

Trump’s NSPM-7 Labels Common Beliefs As Terrorism “Indicators” New order targets “anti-Christian,” “anti-American,” and “anti-capitalism” opinions

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened:

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

It really is this simple. The idea that there’s this deluge of people out there that “want” to be homeless no matter what society would try to do for them is a political myth; ginned up so that we all have more people to hate and we’ll maybe not look more closely at income inequality.

Referring to this case, in which the letter "B" scratched into her face was backwards because it was done while looking in a mirror:

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

Silkworm is playing in Louisville, Atlanta and Columbia, SC this November. We're are surprised as anyone.

Announcing three more Silkworm shows for 2025.

these people are genuinely idiots

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

Mahmoud Khalil on exile, liberation and Ice detention: ‘It was a clear act of cruelty’ His grandparents survived the Nakba and he fled Assad’s Syria. Khalil is no stranger to political persecution, but not even Trump’s crackdown can silence him

“What shocked me, when I was kidnapped [by US immigration], was just how reminiscent that was to cases I witnessed in Syria. You would have plainclothed officers without any warrant come and take you just because of your political speech.”

This happened during Trump's first term, but I believe under Pete Hegseth we are about to enter a new golden age of the SEALs being told "your mission, should you choose to accept it: take these amphetamines, fall out of a helicopter, and drown."

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down.

In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

I do not understand how you can believe that outsourcing your thinking to AI is a good idea when you know who's controlling them

Awesome, thanks so much!

Hey, I tried buying a shirt but the shop said it's not shipping to several addresses I tried in Pittsburgh. Are you doing local shipping only since the site said the shirts are coming from Chicago? Or should I contact Jon at Comedy Minus One to see if there's an error with the site?
