People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

It’s #WorldAIDSDay - Did you know sanitation and barriers are industry standard in tattooing because Cliff Raven, a gay tattooer from Chicago, made sure he could still provide service to his own community as most shops refused to tattoo homosexuals when the AIDS crisis emerged?

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Everyone is correct to be outraged by this, but also it's such an absurd pose he has nothing to back up. These cowards will be arresting roofers and cooks and bullying normal people minding their business. They won't even be near the 'crime' they claim to be stopping. They think the L is too scary
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Brief standoff between masked federal officers and one person outside immigration court in Chicago.
This was after the same protester sat in front of their arrival vehicle that may have been returning for more arrests (8 so far) and it backed up and left.

The USA’s two leading scholars of authoritarianism and fascism moved to Canada (one permanently, one on leave).
“Stanley writes he has been “very happy at Yale, with the department and the university,” but he wants “to raise my kids in a country that is not tilting towards a fascist dictatorship.”

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.
