A fascist raid on a Chicago building that destroyed property and terrified people was already bad enough.

OF COURSE there's a fucking end-stage capitalism angle to it.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

The US consumer is completely drained, and what did they do with all that cash they extracted from us? Lit it on fire to make a machine so advanced its the first ever computer that can't do math and spent the remaining scraps buying the media and presidency so people couldnt be mean about them

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 5d

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

This is like the bare minimum ask in this situation and it would be great to have someone like Murphy leading the Senate

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 5d

Senator Murphy also lays out a clear set of codified demands that Dems can stand for. Among them:

*no more using budget to punish enemies
*no more using FCC to censor critics
*restrictions on ICE lawlessness in interior
*clear ban on troops in cities

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation.

Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

Pritzker's an A+ Dem leader when grading on the party's godawful curve, but you're right - he's mostly just posting instead of using his power.

If you're wondering why they don't go to court with their high paid lawyers for an easy win, it's because this allows Google to bribe Trump.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.
