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.

ICE just nabbed a man on my corner and it was so fast by the time I got my shoes on to run outside they were gone

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.
I thought we couldn’t do much worse than Kevin McCarthy. I was dead wrong.
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..."

NJ gov looking like she could underperform Harris, which…😬
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.
Oh hey the Pikesville Armory is a block from where I grew up!
Do you honestly think they would be happy with that? That’s basically what we have/had and it wasn’t enough!

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...

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...
