A very disturbing video has emerged from today’s ICE/CBP operations in Avondale.

An officer pushes a woman to the ground, prompting bystanders to react angrily and throw what appears to be a rock at a moving unmarked vehicle.

This seems to be the new normal in Chicago.

Just to put in perspective how vile this is, tear gas is banned under the int’l Chemical Weapons Convention. There‘s an exception for domestic law enfcmt to e.g. disperse violent mobs to avoid even more excessive force. But against a handful of dads? It’s the very definition of excessive force.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

When it seems like half of people these days are secret Nazis and the other half are secret Nazi apologists, this feels heartening.

Right. He was doing politics to some extent. Johnson isn’t even trying to do politics. He’s just a pure Trump sycophant.

NEW: I reviewed a text chain provided by an acquaintance of Graham Platner where the person discussed with others Platner’s Nazi-like tattoo months before the story became public, undercutting claims Platner only recently learned of it.

Graham Platner’s claims that he didn’t know tattoo was Nazi-linked undercut by new evidence | CNN Politics

A KFile investigation has uncovered mounting evidence that Platner — a Marine veteran— was aware of and defended the use of Nazi symbolism that had come to be embraced by some members of the military.

With who is president now you think it’s really out of the realm of possibility? At this point I think it’s likely 😂😭

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

I would trust Van Hollen with a forklift! Or at least to say he doesn’t know how to operate a forklift but he promises he will find someone who does.

"While the indictment alleges that James made "thousand(s)" from rental income, sources tell ABC News that prosecutors found no record of James collecting rent from her niece beyond $1,350 that James reported on her 2020 tax return..."

James purchased the home in Norfolk, Virginia, for her great-niece in 2020 for $137,000 and immediately allowed her and her children to begin living in the house rent-free. Prosecutors met with James' niece, who stated that she had never signed a lease, had never paid rent for the home, and that James had often sent her money to cover some of the expenses, the memo concluded, according to sources familiar with
its contents. Here's a list of the individuals, including John Bolton, targeted so far by the
Trump administration

I’m curious what the non-trading floors look like, though. Ours are pretty good, they went from super open floor plan hellscape back to more semi-cubicles so you actually have some privacy, and there are designated quiet areas where you aren’t supposed to take meetings at your desk.

I know people will say it’s not that deep but honestly I think Americans do not realize how luxurious their lifestyles are relative to 30, 40, 50 years ago.

I am going to leave the Platner thing alone soon I swear, once I'm done being disappointed at people for whom "no literal Nazi tattoos" is a bridge too far, but I want to point out something is off here about his statements and I think this might be another lie. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The US military already has a policy that checks for extremist, racist and sexist tattoos, and Platner added that the Nazi connection never came up during security screenings, including when he joined the army national guard after his marine service and later for the state department when he worked as security detail for the US ambassador to Afghanistan.

I live in a state with term limits.

It's bad.

Really bad.

Makes all politicians amateurs and lobbyists experts. Hands power to extremists.

You can’t drain the swamp by firing the only people voters can actually fire.

Fix the districts. Kill Citizens United. Stop electing morons.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
