Idk the details of this plan, but I know the day before the January ceasefire, something like 6 aid trucks entered Gaza. Day one of that ceasefire, over 900 trucks entered Gaza. If nothing else, any easing of the aid restrictions will save lives, even if I'm not hopeful this is permanent.

At least a thousand but most likely more folks marching in Chicago to protest the deployment of the National Guard and continued ICE raids. Chanting "whose city our city!"

The level of destruction and erasure in the Gaza Strip is simply incredible. North Gaza, before and after:

This game would’ve actually gotten me into the AC franchise, what a fucking shame

Also it’s frankly nonsensical for someone to self-ID as a liberal or progressive or socialist when they reject a moral responsibility to support the next generation - and the parents raising them - unless it’s specifically their kids.

You don’t have to have kids. You owe kids something regardless.

There is a difference between a politician’s responsibility to sell policies to the public’s existing whims and an educated layperson’s (who’s interested in politics) responsibility to understand how policy works.

I am not a politician.

Any budget-neutral expansion of the Child Tax Credit has to be offset by additional taxes that will disproportionately fall on childless workers.

And any serious liberal/progressive policy program results in a higher overall tax burden because you have to raise revenue to pay for welfare.

You are absolutely being that guy because there is no numerical or practical difference between the two options you laid out.

It is two different rhetorical descriptions of the same end result, and it is your job to figure that out when reading.

When people say we have a literacy crisis they need to include their fellow progressives and libs. Insane replies on a post that is just explaining the Child Tax Credit

We need a real liberal to buy out the NYT and do a Camden police department maneuver on the entire staff

Conservative American Christianity is a heresy part infinity

Donald Trump has heard the wails and lamentations of all the Rust Belt communities left behind by neoliberalism, and he has a message for them: fuck you and die

"99.97 percent of families, even when given the option, chose to let their children learn about LGBTQ+ people."
Nice result, and it reinforces everything Montgomery County said to SCOTUS before its theocrats made their dehumanizing ruling. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Again, with a completely hostile media environment, over half of Americans have come to see the truth about what Israel is doing in Gaza. It's genuinely quite remarkable.

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson.

Kie Gol Lanee was one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago, I miss it dearly

Wurman is one of the starkest examples of somebody who’s not stupid, he could easily explain himself why this is wrong, but has simply decided, eyes wide open and knowing exactly what he is doing, to be shamelessly dishonest.

a lot of this is just the fact that David Shor is personally a bigot

Incredible that ICE is so bad at its job that passive dearresting works.

I hope more of this is to come

I think the most useful political activity most of us can engage in rn is to encourage as many people as possible to attend the Oct 18 protests.

A shitlib is going to protest—will you?

Do Nothing and Cry Anyway Award is cross ideological btw. The ostensibly left wing people who complain about No Kings, liberals who criticize Thunberg for actually putting herself on the line for Gaza, and right wingers who complain about protesting after a political event are the same types of ppl.
