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

every small car is technically clown storage

“and it won’t stop till it gets 20 gallons”

Chicago Presbyterian Minister is fired upon by ICE and hit 7 times with pellets containing a chemical agent.

the only reason it wouldn’t be “billions” is that not being an option on the survey

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

by “Germany” we mean making a big show of not being connected to military-imperial origins & never even briefly de-Nazified?

“The records show that the police retroactively created a separate document about the Flock search a week after our article was published, in which they justify the search by saying they were concerned for her safety.”

no way is she doing an actual day’s work, c’est les autres

should be “let’s report the fucking news” but she can’t even get the tagline right

Obviously signing Trump’s compact is the death knell for a university, but the fact that any of them are even *considering* it exposes something deeply rotten at the heart of their leadership. It should disqualify them forever.

every small car is technically clown storage

while bending an entire department around yourself & blocking whole subfields from gaining any foothold

Laughs in Palestinian

personally i’d balk at maintaining the conceit my writing was so dangerous the university would be forced to fire me or shut down, then deploy that power on my national platform to give props to ronald reagan. but full marks for modeling conservative thought i guess newrepublic.com/article/2013...

Still, I happen to know of no Marxist professors in the University of Virginia department of economics. Like most such departments it's overwhelmingly populated by those who embrace econometric analysis and model-building in the neoclassical tradition. I know of no Marxists in either of the two business schools either. I know of none in the public policy school.

They would be glad to explain to anyone who would listen that the Great Depression was deepened, if not caused, by high tariffs that stifled the abilities of various countries to leverage their advantages and let goods, labor, capital, and ideas flow freely. In the nineteenth century people called that position liberalism. We more recently call it neoliberalism.

If the university signs this compact, would it have to hire a slew of extreme left-wing scholars to “balance” out those four influential units of the university? I would hope not. Marxist theory has little to offer those fields of knowledge (fighting words for some, I know, but it’s true). But maybe someday the biology department would have to hire a Biblical creationist to “balance” out all the real scientists. Or the astronomy department would have to better represent the voices of the millions of Americans who believe the Earth is flat and no human has ever walked on the moon. Don’t laugh. Not so long ago no one took anti-vaccination cranks seriously. Now look at us.

somehow ends up lauding neoliberalism while saying marxist analysis (=“extreme left-wing scholars”) has “little to offer” academic study of econ, business, or public policy; the nearest comparison being to hiring creationists in bio depts or flat earthers in astronomy

Dokodemo Dodgeball Fantasia (どこでもドッジボ−ルファンタジア) was a dodgeball RPG released for keitai in 2006. Yes, you read that right! It's got a coming-of-age story and a real time battle system. We preserved this game earlier this year, and it's incredibly unique.

Okay, gang, it’s 1940 and Edward G Robinson is spending his Brother Orchid money on art and is meeting the seller at his favorite restaurant, Good Fellows Grotto (also a favorite of Clark Gable) I bribed the valet to give us a heads up and we’re going in. What are we having? #TCMParty

legacy or mainstream media being that which has been and will continue to be complicit in the project of american empire, all these supposed shifts sorta snap into place as continuities

LSU student alleges anti-transgender discrimination after her protest arrest  • Louisiana Illuminator An LSU student who was arrested after speaking out of turn at a public meeting alleges police discriminated against her for being transgender

"An LSU student arrested last week for protesting [..] said police became hostile toward her once they learned she is transgender."

Gabriela Juárez "heard police officers discussing using ChatGPT [..] to determine what charges the students should face."
