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.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

ER wait times are going to be much longer when 13.7 million Americans lose their Medicaid coverage over the next decade due to this administration’s billionaire tax cuts, not to mention the higher premiums from expiring ACA subsidies, the thousands of jobs being lost every month, & massive inflation

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

This is EXCELLENT.

1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome.

2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

A chart of "Major concerns of PhD candidates." The top text says, "Financial pressures top the list of concerns faced by PhD candidates, but concerns differ among the sexes. Those studying in the United States rank the political landscape as their main worry." The chart shows that in the full survey, political landscape is the biggest concern for about 20% of students (a bit higher for women than men) but there's an annotation saying "In US PhD students, this rose to 64%". Overall, the highest-rated concern was financial pressures at around 40%.

That's quite the chart annotation.

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

This is class solidarity.

In case you’re at all confused.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Didn’t you just vote (on 07/30/2025) against a senate resolution that would have blocked arms sales to Israel?

I’m confused about your call to improve access to humanitarian aid and medical services in Gaza, when you support sending weapons to the very people who are killing and starving Gazans

Something I think about on a near biweekly basis is Florence Pugh as Amy March’s “Don’t sit there and tell me that marriage isn’t an economic proposition” monologue in Little Women

Is there anything more lovely than the sound of wind chimes

There is so much grief right now. I highly recommend having an intentional grief practice. On some days it will be rage, on some days it will be sorrow. But what I know is unprocessed grief leads to the very behaviors that we are watching and abhor in this moment. Move it out of your body and heart.

You do not “support the troops” when you deny people with 15+ years of military service their retirement benefits. All on top of the current gutting of the VA system. Disgusting and openly cruel.

If we are having a conversation and you casually reference the book The Color of Law, I will fall in love with you

Reading this and crying in a coffee shop. I watched so much PBS as a kid. My local station was WVIA, and 20% of their annual budget comes from CPB.

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.

Israel Detains, Chokes, and Beats Up Amazon Union Leader Chris Smalls Meanwhile, there’s not a peep from mainstream media in the U.S.

The Israeli Defense Forces surrounded, beat, and choked American labor leader Chris Smalls, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition announced

The NIH’s 2024 budget of just under $37B generated $95B in economic activity in 2024 alone. 99.4% of new pharmaceuticals approved from 2010-2019 came from NIH-funded research. I’m hard pressed to think of anything that generates as much direct economic benefit as our NIH did before they destroyed it
