Every American who cares about their rights and doesn’t appreciate being lied to should boycott @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @60minutes.bsky.social and every cbs program aside from @colbertlateshow.bsky.social. Bari Weiss’ sole mission at CBS will be to launder maga propaganda using CBS’ credibility.

That's a lot of Kavanaugh Stops. /s

On a related note ... Brett Kavanaugh and the other five who voted to allow this blatant, disgusting racism make me sick.

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The CBS takeover by Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is the most foreboding move in a while, and I’m not saying that lightly.

It will have an effect on the 2026 elections: CBS will now lie to people and normies will believe it.

PDX, the regime is tweaking out over the fact that they can't get us to riot.

They are frantic to get us to do something to justify their extremism.
Do not give them what they want. They want to manufacture a war. Don't let them.

We have to power to deprive them. So deprive them.

The American citizens whose doors were kicked in, zip tied, and drug into the street to be detained for hours must take great solace in knowing the wise Justice Kavanaugh and his clerks believe that ICE only briefly detains citizens before politely sending them on their way.

Trump's assault on the rule of law in our country is more of a threat than al-qaeda ever posed. Bin Laden never had the power to use the federal government to attack the fundamental freedoms enjoyed by all Americans. The media should be covering this as an unprecedented and historic crisis.

@nytimes.com should be ashamed of this framing. Trump has launched an assault on the rule of law and the Times covers it as if its a debate over the marginal tax rate. This is a 5 alarm fire and the MSM continues to fail the American people by refusing to accurately report on it.

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

We’re getting very used to this but the statement is unusually unhinged.

Robert Downen @robertdownen.bsky.social · 22h

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Proud boys and other white supremacists would have signed up for a racist campaign of terror even if Trump had only offered them all-you-can-eat ramen noodles and vienna sausages.

I'd set the over/under at 750 proud boys or other right-wing militia members who jumped at the chance to get $50k cash to have their dream job of beating up brown people and assaulting women.

regulators1788.bsky.social @regulators1788.bsky.social · 16h

That would be a great question.

Senator: AG Bondi, can you confirm or deny that anyone associated with the proud boys or other right-wing militias have been hired by ICE?

Bondi: HOW DARE YOU IMPUGN THE DIGNITY OF OUR ILLUSTRIOUS PRESIDENT'S MOST PATRIOTIC AND LOYAL SERVANTS!

@davidfrum.bsky.social should be outraged that Netanyahu's government is responsible for the security failure that allowed the 10/7 attack to be possible. Investigations must be done to determine if Netanyahu knew the attack would take place and he allowed it so he could avoid going to prison.

regulators1788.bsky.social @regulators1788.bsky.social · 16h

@davidfrum.bsky.social is an intelligent person and not a right-wing imbecile which makes it all the more inexcusable that he is offended by anyone accurately pointing out that Netanyahu has conducted the war with total reckless disregard for civilian casualties or the historic humanitarian crisis.

I would love to hear @davidfrum.bsky.social elaborate on what he feels was chillingly formulaic about the unequivocal denunciation of the 10/7 attack. Mamdani could not have been clearer that it was a terrorist attack and a tragedy. He even cited the tragic death toll to drive home the scale.

Spoiler alert: there’s something catastrophically bad for Trump in there.

The better question is why didn’t Democrats make sure Merrick Garland released them and end Trump’s chance to retake power and destroy our country.
