Agree. Agree. Agree.

BOYCOTT COORS!They are the seed that was planted to start the fascist heritage foundation! This was in todays Lincoln Square!

Look, I know this is controversial, but I’m on the side of the ones who **aren’t** shooting priests in the head with pepper balls.

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.

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

Opinion | CBS Deal Smells Like a Gimmick An aspiring mogul finds yet another way to appease Donald Trump.

"In any case, Ms. Weiss has certainly found her time becoming too valuable to engage in actual journalistic work."

That is from an op-ed on the .... WSJ editorial page.

The press steps up as Trump targets Chicago Local journalism is under siege, but still makes itself indispensable

As I told @markjacob.bsky.social, Chicago journalists are doing a helluva job covering the ICE incursion of our city. The dogged, on-the ground- reporting reveals what's actually happening, not what ICE wants you to believe.

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

Thanks, New Yorker

Smart piece. Too relevant.

Star Columnist Fired by Bezos Says Billionaire Is Helping Trump Destroy Democracy Washington Post star who got kicked out reveals how the Amazon boss ‘flipped’ the paper to suck up to Trump.

“I don’t know if we’ve ever seen a major media organization do such an about-face this fast. This is the paper of Watergate, multiple Pulitzers, the Access Hollywood tape—the thorn in Trump’s side—now completely flipped.” -- @karenattiah.bsky.social

When I say MAGA is post-truth, one of the things I mean is the movement—along with its fellow travelers and apologists—approaches the world insisting that there’s no such thing as factual reality, there are only words and images that are good or bad for one’s team.

We've reached the point where states are protecting us from Trump. Thank goodness for Democrats like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker who have the spine to stand up to the president’s weaselly authoritarianism.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

The US is deporting a journalist today.

Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities.

So they grabbed him.

Detained him 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without even letting him say goodbye to his family.

The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally.

Truer words.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

The entire country is walking on eggshells because a madman is hallucinating about crime sprees and burning cities.
