X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

The newsletter is out! This week, we talked to the genius at Tracklib who makes videos showing how music samples are identified and remixed in songs.
He shared a draft version of their video for "One More Time" by Daft Punk.

Rev. Bates-Chamberlain: Once ICE came in on their rampage, you literally had mass agents kidnapping people off the streets. It felt like you were in a horror movie, but this was a real occurrence happening in the United States in 2025.

"We were never arrested. We were never charged ... it was surreal."

Trump’s Chicago Invasion continues. Our tax dollars at work: terrorizing our neighbors and attacking our businesses.
NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

If you’re going to the food drop off at ETHS, the traffic right now is gridlocked. You’re best off walking or biking, because you’ll get there faster. It took us over half an hour from Dodge and Dempster.
We're seeing a massive turnout at the mutual aid event at ETHS today. Please join us until 4pm at 1600 Dodge Ave in Evanston, and if you do swing by, we are in need of cardboard boxes!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social You should camp out in Chicago and start broadcasting live from the war zone here. MSNBC could call it “Chicago Under Siege” or “Trump’s War on Americans”. The more people see of this, the more unpopular it’ll be.
