I saw a post that was like “Chicago is being raided like an enemy city” and yes we can all agree that what the illegal regime is doing to Chicago is super fucked but ALSO it would be cool if people thought about what it means when our government does this and much worse to “enemy cities” elsewhere

The most defining feature of American right wing Christians is they aren’t.

This is personalism. It's the Charles I scenario -- the king rules without the a legislature and simply taxes and spends in whatever way he feels like.

Impeach, remove, disqualify.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

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.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

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.

We all know Weiss is both an idiot and a phony but Jesus Christ

im fiscally conservative but socially liberal. that means i think its good that there is rampant despair but i think people should legally be allowed to do drugs, gamble out of desperation, and kill themselves about it

Saw someone say you can tell Miller is actually running things because no one else would think he should be the messaging guy for all this

Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

its so funny our current moment is like 10 big companies pretending theyre building agi while knowing they are not and none of the other guys are too, but if they admit it then the investor dollars stop. big game of fraud chicken

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

delete chatgpt and stop using generative AI 🖤🤍

YES! like, do you want us to fight using every fucking tool we can put our hands on or not??

If we need to learn one thing from the damn GOP, it is their pathological willingness to go "well that didn't work, who has an even weirder idea let's fuckin go"

I dunno man, try listening to marginalized people *before* shit goes wrong, and maybe it won't keep being like that

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Journalism needs a new style guide for these times. As a start: if the basic material facts of the situation don’t align whatsoever with the official claim, you don’t have to repeat that claim. You are not mandated to cover the lies meant to obscure the facts, only the facts themselves.

Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. Ted Cruz was born in Canada.

Bad Bunny is eligible to run for president because he’s a natural born citizen. Ted Cruz is not.

Thought that was a fun little fact.

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Don't you ever get tired of making excuses for the Democrats and their failure to win elections against Nazis, stand up to Nazis, or hold Nazis accountable when they do have power? Why is it always everyone's fault but the people most responsible?

Even by American government standards I think it is safe to say that literally nothing this government tells us in defense of its violence is likely to be even close to true

This is how people are being disappeared within our own country. Due process for all or it's meaningless.

Bad faith all the way down

Part of this nightmare era is the complete, engineered collapse of belief in human creativity and an increasingly desperate belief that nightmarish computer routines will somehow produce new wonders

the thing about the “official antifa” citation is that it is just definitive evidence that she’s a stone cold dumbass

Something fundamental has broken in the brains of elites. No matter how many op-eds they read, write and publish denouncing identity politics, they still think it's a heterodox viewpoint you can't find anywhere.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Uhhh, no, you can’t have any of my money... Try getting a real job, like inheriting a big bag of money.
