It’s a very small victory, but it gives hope that things can be pushed in the right direction…

Objectively a victory for the pro-Palestinian bloc that J-Street has gone from being the center-left rearguard against any and all substantive criticism of Israel to relenting on one of the most perverse elements of the US-Israel relationship, which is unlimited, unconditional, free military aid.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

A third voted against removing extremist cops.

Basic stuff costs more, also *time is money*. Traveling farther to get deals on groceries/gas. Hours on the phone navigating health insurance. Can't get a dr appt for 3 months. Pharmacy is out of your meds. Can't find/afford childcare. Enshitification adds an immeasurable cost layer to daily life.

(Trump attacks a ficus plant in the Oval Office, shouting that it is "weak on communism," wrestling it to the ground until he is covered in dirt, finally ripping out its leaves with his teeth)

New York Times: "President Trump unveiled a bold new approach to environmental hazards this morning"

I know this is just going to be a meet-the-new-boss-same-as-the-old-boss situation when we get a new monster in that job, but for now, knowing both her and her side piece lost their positions is always a happy moment…

Important to note that last month the Trump admin tried a similar thing for childcare funding and got smacked down almost immediately once sued.

JFC. He’s been found dead.

Aside from cruelty for cruelty’s sake, what legitimate reason is there for Border Patrol to pick people up from police custody and then drop them off at random locations? Let alone a blind man in poor health?

“America has been authoritarian from the moment it was founded: it was just that the authoritarianism extended to specific groups. Indigenous people, Black people, and women, those who didn’t own land.

By refusing to resolve these issues, the right has created an opening…”

Seems like “I want to start a war but not quite sure why or how yet” is something a functioning Congress should address and would involve the i-word.

Thank you! You’re here and it wasn’t even your choice! One thing the past few years have taught me is gratitude for everyone in these trenches with me!

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

One of the best threads on what we’re all going through that I’ve seen in awhile. I feel this one on my bones…and I’ve been voluntarily working in this field for years…

I truly hate it here.

happy goth valentine's day everyone

Such things are excellent bellwethers for where we’re at in society…I have high hopes that it’s a good sign ❤️

A white lady in sensible sandals set fire to a building. The tides are turning.

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."

This is good. If you're tired of smoking Tribune Editorial Board garbage infused with live Illinois Policy Institute resin, I recommend subscribing.

Replacing Bovino with Homan is like crapping your pants, then changing your shirt.

Demanding ICE raids at night says you don’t care about fascism, so long as it’s out of sight.

Walz has to know this, and capitulating like this just shows how pathetic and weak this party is.

jesus christ.

If these people had any understanding of how deeply loathed they are, they'd announce to their neighbors and employers that they had *helped* ICE agents in their work terrorizing the community.

Most major cities have a branch of the National Lawyers Guild who should be able to accommodate them. The MN and Portland chapters are pretty active too. They can help or refer locally, depending on the representation needed.

Our country was founded on independence — aspirational and clumsily attempted as it was — and has been sullied by this sort of servile, vapid Dick Wolfish law enforcement worship.

national strike to support this guy, specifically

I feel this in my bones.

I'm honestly just sick. If you can stomach watching any of this footage & still let the words "more training" escape your mouth, I cannot ever forgive you. These are state-sanctioned street executions. This is the training.

Literally lying first and correcting later is their go-to move. Any source that quotes ICE without fact checking or a healthy amount of caveats is not one that should not be taken seriously.

He's not going to end it. You know he's not. So what are you going to do about it.
