Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

dreamt that someone told me there are two types of indie games: Rooms About the Rooms, and Weirdo the Guy; and i'll be thinking about this all day.

We need to turn to lessons from the 60s & 70s with COINTELPRO destroying Black movements from the inside including with assassinations, & the MOVE bombing of the 80s. The same struggles repeat & there are elders with wisdom. And this is why we will not get through without centering Black struggle.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:
