Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Donald- So I just admit that I was wrong and I get to go into heaven?

Jesus- Yes my child. I paid the price for your sins when I died on the cross

Donald- But I have to admit I was wrong?

Jesus- Yes my child.

Donald- I like messiahs who weren't crucified.

Read it all. From one small section:

Shortly after a man fired >500 rounds at CDC and killed a cop, the staff that safeguard employee, facility, and data security are gone. And the Office of Strategic Business Initiatives, that trains and supports risk management across the entire agency, is gone.

Bynum Demands End to ICE Raids After U.S. Citizen Allegedly Abducted by Masked Agents Bynum compares ICE’s conduct to U.S. Marshals hunting down Black Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act.

I'm demanding a thorough investigation into what happened to Frank Miranda, my constituent who was abducted by masked ICE agents without reason.

This behavior is unacceptable and un-American. It has no place in our state or our country.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Let's check in and see how September temperatures have changed in the U.S. and Canada over the last 75 years. 🔥😢

It’s so funny that we finally got confirmation it was an accident and even funnier that we didn’t know for sure because he tweets such crazy, criminal shit all the time

As @brooklynmarie.bsky.social often says.

Borders aren't just for keeping people out.

They can also be used to trap people within.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

The Right is nakedly trying to make it illegal to call them fascists which is about the most obviously fascist thing you could come up with.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

this is the kind of thing journalists call “clip and save”

Trump:

"When you have a network, and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump... They're not allowed to do that."

*sigh* George W. Bush's homophobic campaign manager has a point

Jimmy Kimmel Live! suspended indefinitely after host’s Charlie Kirk comments ABC says late-night show will not air for foreseeable future after Kimmel accused Republicans of ‘doing everything they can to score political points’ from Kirk’s killing

If we’re going to have Chinese style autocracy in the US, I’d also like the renewable energy infrastructure, high speed rail, electric vehicles, investment in science, and good food.

Cancel your Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions and tell them why. We just did.

This is bananas

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

Silverio Villegas González, who was killed by ICE agents, 'touched the lives of so many' Neighbors and activists remember Silverio Villegas González as a friendly dad. They are grappling with questions, anger and fear about his killing and ICE's presence in Chicago. "May Silverio’s memory...

Last week just outside the city of Chicago ICE shot & killed Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. The circumstances murky & the ICE explanation is dubious.

Silverio was raising his 7 year old & 3 year old by himself.

one of the most important technological revolutions in modern history and you're likely not hearing anything about it because it's making the oligarchs who control our information environment poorer instead of richer

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

Wow that’s a lot no wonder the line at Panera Bread was shorter

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.
