Goddamn is it depressing that the Fox Cinematic Universe has pulled a majority of Supreme Court justices into its propaganda-verse.

I keep saying it, but my β€œblue” β€œprogressive” mayor (at the time) Lori Lightfoot shoveled COVID funds intended for struggling people into the police coffers.

The hero I’m still apparently waiting for is gonna campaign on breaking the backs of police unions and is gonna get to work on that from day one.

Trump went for a Covid shot and then set the CDC on fire.

If that ain’t that asshole in a nutshell.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Chicago. 10/11/25. Pre-race day for the Marathon. It’s beautiful, buzzing with energy, alive, diverse, and vibrant. This is not a city that needs Donald Trump or Stephen Miller’s goon squad.

"Of the judges who responded, 28 were nominated by Republican presidents, including 10 by Mr. Trump"

Short thread about how DHS, ICE, and cops in general just freely lie.

First, the lie:

Really seems like a thing that a consortium of blue states could set up in exile, maybe with corporate donation help.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - β€œincredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a β€œjudicial crisis”; a β€œslap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Department of Justice lawyers, from Main Justice to AUSAs in the districts, have ALWAYS enjoyed a sort of aura of truth and justice and trust. That was arguably always unjustifiable but Trump DoJ has absolutely pissed it away with compulsive lying.

It helps also that they don’t have millions (or billions) of dollars motivating them to pretend what’s happening isn’t happening.

I wish lying wasn't just accepted and allowed because there's no way that happened. Sorry but no producer is ever doing that. Ever. Just not something that happens. And I'm referring to real producers like Ms. Brockman here and not a "producer" on Timcast

This arrest appears to be in direct violation of a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS officers from arresting journalists. The officers here may well be subject to contempt of court. protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...

Bari Weiss watched "Broadcast News" once when she was in college and decided that producing the nightly news is like that all the time.

Seems important to say this today: I did not come to this platform to be fed β€œBlue MAGA” style content. I am here to get good, quality, reliable information. I think my follow list is pretty good at providing this. But if you break my trust in you on that specific point, I will unfollow.

Fearless journalists & vigilant residents tell Chicago's story The abuses of federal power are far worse here in Chicago. Don't look away.

Chicago is safe, beautiful and vibrant. In fact, it was just voted the best big city in America for the ninth year in a row. If the jaw dropping images you’ve seen recently on TV or social media make it look like a war zone, that’s on Donald Trump. My latest:

this is nonsensical. β€œsure all of the founding era evidence is specifically about congress, but if you look closely it also applies to the president. q.e.d”

Opinion | The Supreme Court should listen to the founders on tariffs James Madison and John Marshall would say Trump’s tariffs are legal.
