What a Chicago immigration raid says about Trumpism The worst excesses seem designed to produce content

I live in Chicago. ICE and its various manifestations is a reckless, inhuman way to "produce content." I'm a 75-year-old white guy who says get the hell out of here. www.economist.com/united-state...

They aren’t as powerful as they want you to think. Twelve or thirteen of them couldn’t catch one little brown delivery guy with great focus and moves on a small bike, and their gormless leader Noem (or is it gnome?) couldn't even wangle her way into a police station to take a s—-t.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Johnson must have some seriously scandalous bones in his closet to be lying so ridiculously! All of us know it’s Dems tryin to save healthcare for Americans! #arrestjohnson

How likely is it that Matt Taibbi becomes a correspondent on the Bari Weiss version of 60 Minutes?

Let’s just call it Gen X mode and be done.

Exclusive | CBS News taps Adam Rubenstein — once ostracized at NY Times for liking Chick-fil-A — as new deputy editor Sources expect Rubenstein will effectively run the Free Press now that Weiss will be busy steering the editorial direction of shows like “60 Minutes,” “Face The Nation” and …

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

An idiot just walked down my street blasting loud music. Then I looked up, saw a full moon, might explain it. Hopefully.

Maybe the tights will help with Pete’s wiggly legs and girl grip pull ups … (alpha man 😂)

Ray Dalio says today is like the early 1970s and investors should hold more gold than usual "Gold is the only asset that somebody can hold and you don't have to depend on somebody else to pay your money for," Dalio said.

When those who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of greed say, 'hey, time to play it really safe,' we know it's bad.

Trump's tariffs are driving our economy's growth into a ditch, while skyrocketing consumer pricing.

"Today is like the early 1970's," means Stagflation is coming.

Legacy newspapers: "Print media is dying, and the public will suffer for it."

Also legacy newspapers: "We can't offend the government with information and framing that helps the public."

Leavitt: “You guys are framing this like the president wants to do the exact thing he says he wants to do.”

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

The Convicted FElon has finally united the people on one thing.

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

Don’t worry America, Californians will save democracy.

Malignant narcissists employ a technique called flying monkeys, In order to protect themselves because that’s their ultimate goal. Always to protect themselves. They will send out other agents of chaos and hate to cover for them Like the wicked witch did in the Wizard of Oz.

After passing $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Mike Johnson now has the gall to say Medicaid is underfunded.

YouTube video by Silicon Curtain Russian Empire - The Myth of Strength that Will Not Die

Putin projects strength, but those lies are a mask over weakness. The Russian Empire is a myth of strength that will not die. Lying is not incidental — it is structural. Russian power is not built on competence, legitimacy, or prosperity, but on deception. youtu.be/5gQbKbzHDzM

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

My dad’s side is, too! I feel proud to be a mix of Nuevomexicanos and recent European immigrants. There is such a deeper history in the territory of the US than just the Pilgrims and that 1950s White US culture

As my mom's side in N. New Mexico. Descendants of Spanish conquistadors + Native Americans

Maga clings to Manifest Destiny bc otherwise they'd have to acknowledge America was built on stolen land, genocide of First Nations + enslavement of Africans

Until we teach history we're doomed to repeat it
