Chicago priest urges parishioners to leave mass with caution after ICE agents reported nearby Chicago's Rogers Park community remained vigilant after reports of federal agents near a Catholic church during Sunday mass.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Bank of England Warns of Impending AI Disaster The Bank of England has sounded the alarm, warning of an intensifying risk of a "sudden correction" due to an AI spending frenzy.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

It's just become unambiguously clear to me that liberal democracy cannot survive extreme wealth inequality.

These people need to be stripped of their assets.

This really captures the nexus of cruelty and corruption at the core of MAGA:

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Photo of a passage from "The Watch That Ends the Night" Jerome stopped and stared at me with incandescent eyes. "Try and understand this-the fascists have brought back tor-ture, and torture calls for martyrs. And what else is fascism but the logical product of the capitalist system?" "What do you mean—torture calls for martyrs?" "Simply this. Unless a man is able to stand up and look the torturer in the eye and say, 'I'm not afraid,' torture becomes the way of the world. It's as simple as that." "Is it really as simple as that?" "No." He shook his head impatiently. "No, because underneath it all is the plain economic exploitation of a rotten world. The communists are the only people who understand that. How can you pretend they're not one hundred percent right when they say that at a time like this the life of a single individual isn't worth a snap of the fingers? Wasn't Debs right when he said that so long as there was a soul in prison he wasn't free? What does a single marriage count in a balance like that? It isn't easy being me. I know what all this means. [Highlighted sentence:] This evil inside the human animal-the fascists are charming it out like a cobra out of its hole and the capitalists let them do it because they think it's good for business. You think I'm abandoning Sally by leaving for Spain. I tell you, if I don't leave for Spain then I really do abandon her to a future of fascism and concentration camps."

rereading a novel from the 50s set in the 30s and i know this passage did not hit as hard when i first read it in the 90s as it does now

I couldn't find stories in other outlets about,
1) POTUS is clearly OUT OF HIS MIND & as he was babbling WH announced a "yearly" physical tomorrow 6 mos after last one
2) FUCKING PIZZAGUY WAS TREATED AS AN EXPERT
3) Trump, whose Wormtongue is talking suspending habeas corpus, though it was a person

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

My friend Matt Inman made a great comic about AI…

Literally unconstitutional; Congress has the power of the purse under Article I. Trump is trying to create a personalist regime where every dollar of federal spending is allocated at his whim.

Pam Bondi Has A Full On Meltdown Over Simple Questions About Trump The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee let the attorney general run all over lawmakers.

Pam Bondi is supposed to be a public servant.

The performance at today's hearing - an utterly horrific display - indicates she is fully comfortable letting taxpayers know: she is Trump's lawyer, not America's.

Zero shame and zero checks by Republicans:

When workers stand together, we don't need ghosts to haunt bad bosses– we’ve got collective power.

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

ICE agents clearly feel empowered to punish people who treat them like the name-caller in-chief treats those he disagrees with.

This is the second video today showing ICE officers retaliating against having insults hurled against them with riot control agents. This is assault.
