I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Now, a dispersal warning from Broadview PD.

The officer tells protesters they have 2 minutes to leave the area or they'll receive citations.

Simultaneously, folks have been watching this large bus repeatedly try to pull into the detention center. No idea who's on it.

A few years ago I read this bullshit article literally sponsored by Shell saying it’s more energy efficient to wash your clothes with cold water and it’s crazy how I feel guilty every time I turn on warm water even though I know that article was bullshit.

The AI bubble, which accounts for over a third of the US stock market, which exceeds the amount of consumer spending, which has literally warped the entire tech industry into an incestuous ponzi scheme of funding, is 17 times bigger than the dot com bubble.

My ai bubble popping prediction is that *all* of the economic safeguards and institutions and redundancies that existed during the dot com bubble and 2008 housing bubble are now gone, long since been rotted away by the very people causing the bubble.

i know i tend to have a pretty harsh line on political and historical literacy but if you think the primary cause of conflict in the near and middle east is religion rather than much more modern, material political forces, you're a world-class dumbshit and should reconsider that perspective

One thing I’d be nice if Schatz and others acknowledged is that even judging their hard right turn on immigration in Spring 2024 on its own terms it failed miserably. In July when Harris took over Trump led on “immigration” by 9pts, by election day he led 13pts. At best it, electorally, did nothing

The most vulnerable people in our society are under attack right now because that’s where you start when EVERYONE is going to be under attack and when Newsom arranges photo ops throwing out the tents of homeless people and spreads transphobic talking points he is doing the fascists’ work for them.

And charges like these do eventually get dropped all the time, a judge calls bullshit and wags his finger very sternly at the cops. But in the meantime people had their whole lives fucked up with the charges hanging over their heads.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker now to demand that he remove the ISP from Broadview. No state resources to protect kidnappers. Pritzker: Call off the IL state police 312-814-2121

Murdering Jewish people for being Jewish during the observance of the holiest day of the year is an obscenity. It's an atrocity. It's evil.

It would be equally evil any other day of the year.

And if you think you're making a point about zionism, attacking diasporic Jews isn't going to stop Israel.
