Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

Note to Democrats: Stop punching left. The left is fighting mad and the words we use are "Fuck ICE" and "IMPEACH" and "SHUT IT ALL DOWN." Maybe you'd get somewhere if you used those words, too.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

This is incredible.

Also. Fuck RFK Jr.

Great vibes at Record Store Day at @electricfetusmpls.bsky.social.

But then we wouldn’t have the fun of standing and turning our backs on the ones who have betrayed their communities!

See new posts Conversation Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane HORRIFIC: Israeli settlers attacked the town of Sair in the West Bank, beating an elderly Palestinian woman who has been hospitalized. The Israeli army arrived later and arrested three of her sons instead of arresting the settlers who attacked her.

Israeli settlers beat and assaulted a Palestinian mother in the village of Sa’ir, south of Hebron, leaving her injured and requiring hospitalization, WAFA reports. As she was being evacuated for medical treatment, Israeli forces detained three of her sons, according to multiple reports.

From my POV it’s about controlling pregnant people, but guys like this specifically hate the women they’re in relationships with.

Their tour isn’t coming anywhere near here, so I’m considering buying a plane ticket to go see them. They hit their stride when I was young and broke and couldn’t afford the kind of venues they played. Now that I’m old and have a more flexible schedule, I might do it.

It’s not about babies, it’s about controlling women. Forcing them to have babies or forcing them to have abortions is two sides of the same coin.

MLK had a 63% *unfavorable* rating with Americans in a 1966 Gallup poll.

Nelson Mandela was legally considered a terrorist by the U.S. government until 2008 (!!).

People saying this shit almost certainly would have hated both and found a way to delegitimize their causes at the time!

An important message from Indigo Girls. We know it’s long, but please listen to it in its entirety if you are able. TikTok video by Indigo Girls

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.

And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.

And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.

And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Two bankruptcies, six jobs before ICE hired him Among the new hires is Carmine Gurliacci, 46, who resigned as a police officer in Richmond Hill, Georgia, to join ICE in Atlanta in December, according to a resignation letter obtained by AP. He filed for bankruptcy in 2022, saying he had no income and had been unemployed for two years after moving from New York to Georgia, court filings show. He said he was living with a friend and doing chores in exchange for housing, listing tens of thousands of dollars of unpaid loans, bills, child support and other debts. He also had filed for bankruptcy in 2013 in New York, when he listed $95,000 in liabilities, records show.

Really good reporting from AP. They took 40 people who had listed their new ICE job on LinkedIn, then looked for red flags.

This is John Abendshien, 79. He previously owned the Winnetka house where “Home Alone” was filmed.

Once again. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not a Mexican. smh

Thank you for sharing this. It dialed my anxiety about the imminent takeover of robot overlords way down.

What we can learn from the playbook that defeated Orbán How Hungarians ousted Viktor Orbán is a critical case study for people doing the unglamorous but essential work of democracy defense.

Great lessons from Hungary. We can do this too, USA. wagingnonviolence.org/2026/04/less...

I especially love the part when the legs continue to flail long after the head explodes.

They make these things vaguely humanoid so that we anthropomorphize them and pack bond, but when I see something like this all I feel is glee and schadenfreude and for about ten seconds I felt guilty for that.

They excel at voting No.

The vast majority of mentally ill people are NOT domestic abusers. Please stop conflating these things.

you are not a violent abuser BECAUSE you have mental health issues. You can be a violent abuser who is ALSO mentally ill. The mental illness is not the cause of your domestic violence.

ICE charter lands in Congo carrying 15 Latin American migrants The Democratic Republic of Congo becomes the eighth African nation known to have taken third-country nationals from the Trump administration.

Government hopes decision on the death penalty for Vance Boelter will be made before Labor Day Vance Boelter, charged with killing Melissa and Mark Hortman shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, is back in court Friday.

going to preface this by saying that I'm against the death penalty, but dysfunction at the Department of Justice sure seems to be affecting the death penalty decision in the prosecution of the murderer of Melissa and Mark Hortman.
