Surfing the Chaos

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

45 yrs of US history, in 25 words:

Article excerpt: Emily said she made clear the family didn’t have Venezuelan passports but was told that wouldn’t be a problem; the U.S. government would procure any necessary documents for them. They said the operator gave them an Aug. 1 departure date and told them to expect their plane tickets by email. Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved with their children to Columbus, Ohio, where Deybis’ nephew let them stay in his unfinished basement apartment until their departure. The plane tickets never came. Then the nephew was detained in a traffic stop and deported. Panicked, Emily and Deybis said they called the toll-free number again and again, leaving messages that went unanswered. Emily submitted a new application and sent more emails.

Article excerpt: ...They found travel agencies that offer to procure travel documents at a cost but said they were told the Venezuelan government requires an arrival date and proof that plane tickets have been purchased. Emily and Deybis can’t afford them. “Thank you so much for your patience and we understand your frustration,” they heard back in another email. “Wait for new instructions from DHS.” As they wait, they worry about how they’ll survive when winter comes. Most days, Deybis visits local food pantries and looks for discarded items in alleys and on street corners that they can resell. A few weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to help pay the rent. “We’d rather be in Venezuela with our family than suffer here,” he said.

After signing up for self-deportation, Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved to an unfinished basement. But DHS never sent them the promised plane tickets.

Now they worry about surviving winter. Weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to pay rent.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Fascistic and absolutely unacceptable rhetoric from the unmoored little man who is basically running the federal government right now.

This is assault.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

Opinion | Chicago Could Be a Powder Keg Many residents are willing to endorse or participate in violent resistance.

An exercise of military force like the one President Trump is threatening in Chicago, "regardless of the legitimacy of its aims, inevitably intrudes on the political rights and economic livelihoods of ordinary people," writes Robert Pape, a political science professor at the University of Chicago.

Guess which network is ignoring the survivors?

Fox isn’t news.

Thank God someone is stopping the dangerous... uh... violinists in Utah.

Entered the US with proper papers at 10, later graduated with a fine arts degree from the University of Utah and stayed. Invasion!

There's evidence he's been part of the vicious gang known as The Salt Lake Symphony Orchestra.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

🔥 @danpfeiffer.bsky.social : “We’re all going ‘how can we get young people to stick with Democrats?’— then there’s a candidate they get excited about ( @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ) and the Dem establishment & billionaires get together to torpedo his candidacy- to do it for Cuomo is unforgivable.”

WATCH: “He was cutting grass.”

Soboroff & Wallace on the sickening beating of the father of 3 Marines, and how @joerogan says he wouldn’t have signed up if he had know it would be like this, “tearing the fabric of the community”. (But he should have known)

Tech execs are joining the Army — no grueling boot camp required Tech leaders from Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI have joined the Army Reserve, bypassing traditional training to chase transformation.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.

Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.

📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.
