Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

This explains a lot.

David would want focus to remain steadfastly on Palestine. But US representatives of conscience should all be demanding Israel immediately release David & all Flotilla crew members; they should also end all support for the genocidal ethnostate holding them captive.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

wizard frog is insane

Bluesky leadership might want to consider its success is due entirely to a user base that’s historically willing to move platforms.

Honestly my biggest argument against AI sapience/personhood is that if it WAS something we could easily recognize as a fellow sapient being with emotions, needs, and possibly rights, every tech oligarch in the AI sphere would be trying their BEST to convince us otherwise so they could have slaves

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.”

your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

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.

As opposed to Vance, who oozes with ooze

In the mind of JD Vance, a Black woman must be thankful for the fact that she has been elevated out of her natural state of slavery, and should express her gratitude with silence about her erstwhile masters. If you lived through the Civil Rights movement in the South in the sixties, this is familiar

Zodiac killer murders again, challenging legal bounds

*you

Yoy can call the Cook County State's Attorney and ask that all charges against the Broadview protesters be dropped: (312) 603-1880 (if there's a better number, lmk!)

*A Republican lawmaker objected to reference to Charlie Kirk holding “often racist and controversial views” in local Alaska news
*The corporate owner took down the story and edited it
*The journalists resigned

This feels like more and more of our media now.

“Lacy was charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle. He committed suicide on April 12 of this year, one day before a grand jury hearing in his case.”

Nearly a football field away from the accident.

History repeats.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not.

“Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

Judge William G. Young's ruling taking on the Trump admin's assault on the First Amendment:

He agrees ICE is a terror organization:

"ICE goes masked for a single reason- to terrorize Americans into quiescence"

The bullies have been busy this morning attacking protesters outside ICE detention in Broadview IL

Snapped this pic of DHS conferring with the IL state police just before ICE attacked the crowd, while state and county police assisted them. ICE said, "This is your first and only warning" and then instantly attacked. We were not in the road at that time. They just wanted to assault us and film it.
