Quickest way to confirm that the AI bubble will imminently be popping is to watch two boomers interact with AI agents at an airline.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.
Can I just read it, pls?
I'd like to see hockey players argue penalities the way baseball players argue balls and strikes.

We cannot normalize this! We must show Home Depot what happens when you fail the community
For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

My understanding is that Home Depot uses Flock automatic license plate readers #APLR and Flock is known to share data freely with ICE.
@404media.co writes about this.
If you drive to Home Depot, you could be tracked wherever you go if cities also connect their Flock cameras to the national network.

BREAKING: new racist Republican groupchat has been leaked to Politico featuring texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Ingrassia’s texts include vile pro-Nazi & racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

it’s honestly impossible for me to respect any Trump supporters.

if you are proud of this man leading our country, I cannot respect you on any level. the lack of class, intelligence, or taste is just stunning. pure trash

Am I the only one who switched to "little sunshine" after having their second kid?
Maybe planning a permitted protest a month in advance isn't the most effective then?

Weird that people are traveling to Chicago for business when the federal government is illegally and violently attempting to occupy the city.
My 2 year old just asked to stay in bed for one more minute...
Things suck, but just had a moment with a stranger stopped at a red light who was blasting and belting this one out. Made me smile. youtu.be/X9fLbfzCqWw?...

After over managing all playoffs, Hinch played it safe and lost big time last night. For once, his pitchers gave them a chance for 14 innings. But AJ lets Keith go 0-5 with 3 strikeouts, after doing nothing all series.
Skubs' gonna have to leave to get his ring, just like JV.

"Since September, at least six unhoused Chicagoans have been abducted by federal agents. That number is likely higher, but the social invisibility and isolation already faced by people experiencing homelessness make their disappearances harder to track" by @katieprout.bsky.social @mulchy.bsky.social

My take on the Republican’s government shutdown. Dems hold the line, protect American’s rights and hard earned benefits.
