Absolutely sick of these thugs standing like they are ready to empty an assault rifle into a Chicago playground at a moment’s notice.

Next Dem president needs to put all these GI Joe wannabes on desk duty, armed with nothing more than a cheap plastic water gun.

This behavior is vile.
NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

Have you ever looked at the US business created monstrosities that are maquiladoras--an outcome of neoliberalism--leading to another outcome: feminicide of the women workers. Here's Ciudad Juárez.... From the top. The red markers are the maquilas.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics.

This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

New podcast about radical abolitionist Benjamin Lay, featuring Loretta Fox, Mark Povinelli, and me. If you donate, you get a free mug with Lay’s picture that says, “Smash this mug,” as he did to china cups in 1742 to protest the exploitation of tea and sugar workers.

🧵Excellent piece "They appear to have inverted the promise of the internet as an endless archive of information one can navigate for themselves. Do your own research has, in short order, become Get one canonical answer."

This helps explain why Trump/Vance have gone all in on AI...
Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Don’t forget: “crime” by black and brown folks has long been the pretext for bringing the boomerang home, militarizing our streets, & deploying the tactics of colonial control on citizens.
Comer: "We're gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington DC. We spend a lot on our military. Our military has been in many countries around the world for the past two decades walking the streets trying to reduce crime. We need to focus on the big cities in America now."
