It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Casual lying without even the most basic of accountability in response like this is indicative of a society in free fall decline

'we should try 5 community grocery stores as a pilot program' enrages the usual suspects more than 'donald trump just took a 10% stake in a giant multinational'

Mr Mamdani do you recognize Skyrim as a Nordic state

Yes. But remember: Know Your Values, Frame The Debate. Do not accept an unfavorable frame from hostile questioners! It is very hard to do this and requires explicit training because we are socialized from a young age to respond to questions directly (accepting the questioners frame)

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

AAA estimates the average cost of owning a car is $12,297 a year, and recommends drivers spend no more than 10 percent of their income on car costs. This means you should make 120K to afford the average cost. Median *household* income in the US is $77K. The math just doesn't work.

Soldiers at the Bass Pro Shops pyramid in Memphis, TN.

> It is 2025 BC. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis

> It is 2025 AD. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis

the hijack of cbs is a great impetus to fund indie media! but the parallel to twitter is instructive here bc after musk took it over *a lot of people stayed there,* cooking their brains in right-wing slop. and cbs' reputation among low-info normies is much better than twitter's ever was.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety

Video from: www.reddit.com/r/chicago/co...

"This is not how the government is supposed to work. We pay federal taxes but get a President who sees us as the enemy and takes away our own money as retaliation. This has to stop. "Donald Trump has shown again and again that he is unfit to lead this country. When he's not too busy golfing, he's doing active harm, whether it's sending masked troops into cities or shutting down vital infrastructure projects like this. "These funds were already approved. And if people can't cross the Hudson to get to work, it will literally destroy our economy. "We have to show Trump that this isn't okay. "Yes, New Jersey should sue the Trump administration, but we have to do more. We should be withholding federal taxes, dollar for dollar, to backfill funding that's illegally cut. The state should also eminent domain Trump's golf course in Bedminster and build some affordable housing there instead. If the federal government won't stand up for New Jersey, Trenton should."

Maybe pushing the definition of city but Joplin, MO was bleak. Sticking to metropolises, Dallas was totally underwhelming.

Coal executives will pocket the cash, and the US will fall behind in the clean energy race. This isn't going to make coal come back into fashion. We're governed by idiots.

I assumed the only people riding an outbound Hoboken train on Sunday morning would be bike sickos like me, but it got decently full after Secaucus

Maybe the Outerbridge Outer Bridge then

Rename the Outerbridge Crossing as just the Outer Bridge

Amtrak Police Arrests Surge at Penn Bathroom Cruising Spot Federal law enforcement turned a person they arrested in the transit hub directly over to ICE.

"David, who is gay, was wearing a rainbow Pride wristband as he says he was simply trying to pee when he was arrested."

New from @gwynnefitz.bsky.social / @thecity.nyc:

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Growing up, I heard constantly about how polluted the Chicago River was. This is making me feel hopeful

I would love for Mikie to give the real New Jersey answer when Jack keeps invoking Pennsylvania: I'd rather be dead than Pennsylvanian

Exclusive: Leaked Messages from Charlie Kirk Assassin Accused shooter’s “politics” is not what government and media say

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before:
www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

Instagram account connected to Gilroy shooter pushed staple of white supremacist internet forums

Anti-Semitic open letter posted online under name of Chabad synagogue shooting suspect

Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect threatened Jewish groups, pushed migrant caravan conspiracies

New Zealand mosque shooting: Attacker's apparent manifesto probed

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

"Bosses value a compliant and easily abused workforce more than money" is the woefully underdiscussed knuckle tattoo on Adam Smith's invisible hand.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?

It is wild how confident these people have been for decades that they could incite chaotic violence but it would never be directed at them. Just absolute confidence that they held the fire hose and could point it exclusively at others.
