Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

It's not doomerist to say this is 100% where I'm at too. Things can drastically change between now and then (possibly for the better, but most likely the other way) but considering we had contested slates and J6 when Trump wasn't as unleashed as he is now, I can't see it any other way.

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen

Don’t think these Texas National Guard guys are going to be chasing any immigrants around Chicago on foot

Many officials in failing MENA states praise the UAE, because they don’t appreciate the costs - which, having lived there for five years, are evident - or don’t care. Grim this becoming more of a thing in UK policy circles (having been a fringe right-wing talking point for some time).

EXCLUSIVE: Freed Flotilla Activist David Adler Details His ‘Violent Abduction’ by Israel The Jewish American writer says Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir specifically targeted him, forcing a photo op with the Israeli flag and calling him a “terrorist.”

NEW: David Adler—a Jewish American on the Gaza aid Flotilla—details Israeli detention.

At one point, he says, he was forced to his knees for a photo op with the Israeli flag, as Ben Gvir yelled in his face, calling him a terrorist.

Says US "hung up" on families of Americans, veterans seeking help.

Opinion Guest Essay That Hegseth Speech Was Actually Pretty Good Oct. 7, 2025, 5:01 a.m. ET

Despite appearances, this is not a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social joke, it's an actual @nytimes.com column by some Claremont hack who praises Hegseth for his "nuanced vision of the military’s purpose and its relationship to civilian society."

Is any journalist at Conservative conference going to ask Robert Jenrick where he got his new "Let's take our country back," slogan from?

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

Scumbag. A rotten, desperate, racist little pig man

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.

Kemi Badenoch asked about the low turnout at Conservative Party conference describes it as "teeming" with members

🚨🚨 "The ECHR is not some foreign imposition that curtails our sovereignty. It was born of British leadership after the horrors of the Second World War, drafted with heavy British influence, and championed by Winston Churchill himself". Great stuff by Sir Robert Buckland KC:

Sora is not the real problem here. The real problem is that in 12, at most 24 months, there will be a Sora clone from Tencent or Alibaba that is just as good and can be run by anybody with a 5099, at which point everyone in society needs to rapidly agree to treat all digital video as fake, period.

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

Not to be a pedant but Bari Weiss was a junior editor who occasionally wrote opinion pieces in the opinion section, not a columnist.

AMD gave OpenAI 10% of its stock for free in exchange for OpenAI announcing they'll buy AMD chips for ten years using the money made from the value of the stock, which then went up 30% in a day. They created $80 billion on paper doing nothing. This is definitely not going to collapse spectacularly

Fucking degenerate racist

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride's big speech.

#ToryPartyDeath

Every post from the Tory conference just makes me sad. Like watching a destitute clown begging for pennies.

In fact this *understates* the point here.

Tory policy is not (just) to remove benefits but to remove ILR and deport, exactly like the Farage plan the PM correctly described as racist.

the president of the USA is being lied to and fed AI slop by his advisors of Portland (& other cities) being a warzone & he believes all of it

gotta laugh to keep from crying, as they say

Wow, it must be terrible being told that you can’t use the bathroom.

I transcribed this demented ramble - he says he talked to Pete Hegseth one year before 9/11 (which he calls "one year ago"), admits he can't remember the title of his own book and claims he was the only one who wanted to kill Bin Laden in 2000 (he wasn't, and the book doesn't even advocate this).
