And you're what we call a fucking asshole.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

No one expected that.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

Remains to be seen.

Always agreed with this. Dumbing down never helps anyone, and it is often infuriating.

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

I wonder if all the people braying about the "war on Christianity" might raise some objections if it were a *Democratic* administration who had its armed thugs shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and waiting outside Catholic Churches to disappear parishioners?

If you live in Everett, Mass. and have any information about the 13-year-old boy abducted by ICE, please message me on Signal at marisakabas.04

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

May be able to pound this into the low0info centrist assholes who put Trump in office this time. A tax on all of us levied by one insane old man with no participation from the people's representatives. This is not constitutional. The Supreme Court has no legitimacy left.

Who doesn’t love their new trump taxes

I am proud of MIT for standing up.

The Free Press framing of DSA as a Dem Tea Party is also indicative of their willingness to lie.

DSA has what? One member of Congress now? They don't have anything like Koch money. Also, what conspiracies and violent rhetoric do they spread?

It's not analogous. Bari's narrative here is a lie.

Shouldn't they be disbarred for this?

God bless the hostages. Giving thanks for their release and mourning those who were murdered in custody.

Absolutely brutal.

I don't know what "Seinfeld territory" is intended to mean, but the show was produced in California.

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." www.the-reframe.com/the-crime-of...

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Federal agents are committing state felonies every day. Breaking and entering. Kidnapping. Assault. When they kick down doors without judicial warrants, when they detain citizens without probable cause, when they point guns at children, these are crimes under state law.
