Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

🚨🚨 Both the police and Flock's defense for why Texas police searched the entire country for License Plate Reader data to find woman who had self-administered an abortion was because she was a missing person and family was concerned with her health. Now documents reveal they wanted to charge her.

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Bari Weiss Signs Huge Deal To Usher CBS News Into Its Vichy Era | Defector On Monday, newly appointed Paramount CEO David Ellison announced that his company had acquired the Free Press, the smirking blood-and-soil blog founded and run by former New York Times hall monitor Ba...

"The Free Press is attractive to someone like Ellison for its choice of enemies... lustily punching down and left at the critics and adversaries of the ownership class. As a billionaire [seeking] to consolidate and expand power and influence, you could not find a more eager servant than Weiss."

Remaining feds left the scene in a large caravan, deploying more tear gas straight into the crowd - and right at my feet - as they left.

How ICE Terror Campaigns Are Used to Discipline Labor While Chicago sees a surge of ICE detentions, workers are facing retaliation as immigrants when they advocate for their rights.

ICE is terrorizing immigrants—and being used as a tool to discipline labor. A witness in a wage theft case was detained. Immigrant warehouse workers face discrimination. Day laborers and street vendors are being targeted, and so are rapid response networks. My latest.

Pentagon chief Hegseth's "speech to the troops" is further proof that the word fascism is completely inadequate to describe the new advance. Fascism had less than a century of socialist uprisings, workers' and farmers' strikes to settle. Against the "reds," in short, on behalf of the bosses. These people want to settle accounts with two and a half centuries of democracy (starting with their own): with human rights, civil rights, women's liberation, the end of true patriarchy, the hegemony of the state in the use of force and weapons, the law as the equal rule for all. In short, they want to settle accounts with civilization, which disturbs their primitive male exuberance—the same as the colonists who built America by exterminating the natives.

These people aren't a political phenomenon, they're an animalistic phenomenon: the extreme regurgitation of the atavistic law—that of the strongest—rebelling against the very principles of mutual respect. This lunatic who rails against "the fat," against the bearded, against the cowardly and the gentle, and calls for war as the only measure of valor, isn't just a fascist, he's much worse. He's the uncivilized person who repudiates civilization, who considers the very principles of respect and tolerance a symptom of decadence. But he is decadent, a parody of an archaic culture aped by embittered males who are a hundred times more decadent, improbable, ridiculous, and weak than the worst woke activist. But they don't know it, they're in no position to understand it. And on top of being stupid and evil, they're armed. Do the math on what awaits us, the unarmed ones.

In La Repubblica, really extraordinary text (look at alt text), essentially saying calling this fascism is too subtle, that it’s worse and Hegseth is a lunatic.
Who am I to argue?
