During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The 1970s second Ka-Zar run has everything I miss in comics and loved in childhood; alien invaders, flying sharks, green men, purple horses, priestesses and zombies, warriors riding bat-winged creatures, sabretooth tigers.
It's Ka-Zar by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard.

I 100% get why Link did the mutual aid Fridays.

Like, every time someone replies by telling me the need is met is one less person struggling in the world.

You see this a lot in fundamentalist spaces: If XYZ enemy is opposed to what Im doing, then what I'm doing is right. They place themselves above culture, temporal affairs, etc while simultaneously reacting to and being influenced by them.

FWIW, Im generally pro-"tell the world about this once-fringe thing" journalism. And the NYT piece had some good pushback. But these folks want to be normalized, and every "grievance presented as fact presented as justification" that they get through is a step in that direction.

As a straight young white man who covers Christian nationalism, I would perhaps have asked Doug Wilson some follow ups on this if it were running it in the NYT as part of his 10K-word defense of Christian nationalism.

For example:

“That really happen?”
“You sure about that??”
“But did it tho?????”
Wilson: No, I grant the point in principle. I don't believe that classical liberalism gets everything wrong. I really don't believe that. And I enjoyed very much the country I grew up in, and I received many benefits from that era. So that point's granted. But on the dank right, I believe that the liberal treatment of young white males has been one of the causes for this recoil and eruption. What you had was a toxic combination of a bad economy of young men being told repeatedly that they are the cancer of the planet, that their masculinity is toxic, that their skin is the blight of the world, and their heterosexuality is a hate crime.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

Exactly. In my last story for Rolling Stone, DHS gave me a statement making claims about passengers on an ICE flight, and editors and I agreed not to publish the claims, because they are liars.

From @gregsargent.bsky.social's interview with Gov. Pritzker:
newrepublic.com/article/2016...
Governor Pritzker: Absolutely false. Although I must say, you know, whenever the ICE and CBP agents say something, they put out a release or, you know, you've got Stephen Miller talking about it, they are lying. I mean, there are several times now where it's just obvious they're lying. You know the story of the man, Silverio, who was shot and killed on a street in Chicago. They claimed that he had dragged an officer and that the officer was seriously injured. Look, we don't know all the details. They don't wear body cams and share any of the information with us. They just sort put a release out later about what happened.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week
House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period. Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.
