Turns out growing and funding an organized paramilitary culture and legitimizing it with the State is a bad idea

Years and years of Democrats militarizing a police force to score points with people who actively hate them and to support a system that ultimately finds them disposable working out really well

Pritzker is offering the following at the moment:

1. Trust the courts. [not a viable strategy]
2. "Film the cops"
3. Vote in 2026
4. Protest [peacefully]

And he knows this is not sufficient. Everyone does.

He will not address the local cops angle because he might be deposed...

me, leaning over: can i get a hit of that

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.

“No ethical consumption” and all that but as far as I know currently Apple is not investing in military AI (not that it is beyond them)

You can import your Spotify playlists to Apple now and enjoy better sound quality while not supporting this loser ass company just saying

ICE in Chicago is a big f*cking story. Get the details from local Chicago journalists:

(this is a list in progress so please send me more suggestions to add. Also note that many of the reporters/ news outlets on this story are not on bluesky.)

Oh no

Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker now to demand that he remove the ISP from Broadview. No state resources to protect kidnappers. Pritzker: Call off the IL state police 312-814-2121

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW:
(Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122
(Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831
Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

“New tswift album dropped today” brother i am exhausted and have only one life to live

The role Italian unions have been playing in the flotilla crisis throws into such sharp relief the near-total lack of mass organizing capacity we suffer from in the US. So many determinants of our predicament but the murder by a thousand cuts of labor in this country is top among them

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I support social democrats running mostly because it will radicalize people and show them 1) it’s not enough 2) they will be sabotaged

They serve as a radicalization point. I do not think them misusing the term socialism is helpful though

feels like we are in the era of people at the top of the hierarchy with all the money and/or power, will not stop saying "wahhh you're so MEAN to me"
