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.’”

People may get tired of hearing this but this is what the Nazis did

Senator Marsha Blackburn tagging a public university for a facebook post where a professor share's Kirk's comments saying gun deaths are worth it.

We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.

Since last November I've been working on an alternative to Facebook that will be a non-profit cooperative. It uses a friend model rather than followers, supports long form posts and groups, with more to come.

Open Beta started a few weeks ago and the mobile apps are now code complete!

NYC youth baseball coach confronts ICE: ‘I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids' A New York City baseball coach said he confronted immigration agents who questioned minors at a park: "I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids."

#NYC baseball coach confronts ICE child predators.

“There's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids." www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...

Despite what some Democratic consultants suggest, the pro-democracy party’s first question shouldn’t be, “Does stopping fascism poll well?”

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.

Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

One sign that we are living under an authoritarian regime is that a lot of people are acting like they are living under an authoritarian regime.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Part 2/2 of the video:

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Get Your Highlighters Ready The hottest place to be this summer is at a lecture.

Y'all!! Resistance Summer School made @thecut.com !!

This is a great piece about the new wave of post-grad, independent lectures being taught outside traditional structures.

As I said in the article, we don't need to wait for elite permission to share knowledge!

People who are shouting about economic indicators ultimately are ignorant about people's real lived experience at best or gaslighting at worst.

When the context is trying to figure out why people supported fascism and how to prevent its return, neither serves us.

People feel financially worse off than their parents—but say their kids will be better off Millennials and Gen X were most likely to say they're doing worse financially than their parents, and they have a few good reasons.

And people feel that.

Boom and bust? Millennials aren’t all worse off than Baby Boomers, but the rich-poor gap is widening A study of over 12,000 people in the US, comparing Baby Boomers and Millennials, raises concerns about Millennials’ diverging financial gains.

Most millennials (richest excluded) are worse off than their parents.

`While 62% of Boomers owned homes at 35, for example, only 49% of Millennials did. Around 14% of Millennials had negative net worth, meaning their debts outweighed their assets, compared with 8.7% of Boomers.`

Kindly take off your partisan blinders. If you're only looking at the Biden economy you're missing the forest for the trees.

Both the reality and the feeling are measurable and have been measured.

People feel financially worse off than their parents—but say their kids will be better off Millennials and Gen X were most likely to say they're doing worse financially than their parents, and they have a few good reasons.

The ultimate measure is how people feel. And they feel worse off.

Millennials are "the first generation worse off than their parents", and that is measurable.

The headline undercuts the statement above, because the richest are doing better than ever. But the article supports it: the average are worse off.

If you're saying "things were doing extremely well" prior to Trump's elections, you have no grounds to call anyone else "deluded".

Millennials are the first generation to be worse off than their parents in almost every major indicator. GenZ is projected to do no better.

I'm sorry. You have no grounds to call anyone "deluded" if you're out here saying "things were doing extremely well".

If you're wealthy and you measure "doing well" by the stock market, sure. For the vast majority of people, things have no been going "extremely well" by any standard.

If we cannot learn that lesson we simply end up right back here again.

This. But, also, getting 3.5% to show and wave signs every two weeks is where it starts. It just can't stop there. We have to escalate and start actually disrupting the regime's ability to govern.

Army vet says marchers were out of step in parade because they didn't want to be there on a Saturday.

seems accurate.

ICE raiding a crowded supermarket in Rosemead, California with no identification, indistinguishable from cartel hitmen, pulling high caliber rifles on unarmed US citizens trying to ask questions about wtf is going on. #3E #StopICE

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it.

And today showed us that beautifully.

No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

Nah, we had our own rally. I'm not a picture taker and have little kids to chase, so no photos to share, but it was well attended. I got there late and it was still really active. Not sure what the peak was.

Still we had a great turnout in Bloomington and it's great to see Nashville turning out too!
