Among many other obvious horrible aspects of the state violence shown here, I’ll point out again: it is very likely that lots of the Camo-wearing, masked *Agents* who are Terrorizing this Latino community in #Chicago are themselves LATINO. It is Sickening. 🤦🏽‍♀️😢

PS: If I or any other BW Journalist had done a tiny fraction of the Unethical things that #Nuzzi has done, while covering ANYTHING under banner of a major news company, I guarantee you we’d be stuffed into a casket, and set aflame by the “Legit” US News Industry. 🤷🏽‍♀️🔥 #WWPrivilege

This is a #NetworkState gambit from #Andreessen + other RW Oligarchs who want to start developing “Company Towns” that suits their authoritarian aims. The most sinister part of this recent turn (which an experienced Journo must dig into!) is that #SuisunCity is poor—and it’s Electeds are desperate😬

Btw, #Kaiser raked record high profits last year: “The union says its bargaining team has met with Kaiser in good faith over the last several months to negotiate a new contract, but Kaiser has resisted their proposals to ensure better pay and fix staffing issues.” www.sfchronicle.com/health/artic...

Kaiser workers launch historic five-day, multi-state strike

Thousands of Kaiser Permanente employees, including Bay Area health care workers, are walking off the job in a five-day strike over staffing and pay concerns.

In 2024, #SiliconValley Oligarchs failed to convince Solano County Electeds to let them build “Forever California,” a dystopian Techie company town they envision. So what’d #BigTech do next? Bribe officials in Suisun City—the poorest town in SolanoCo—to let the Oligarchs “partner” with the city🥴👇🏾

Obama is right; Schwarzenegger is wrong.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Sometimes that means holding your nose to allow a stinky but necessary corrective to be applied.

T’yeah, right? That’s “one way” of describing what really went down. 😡 This curriculum is from a company called “Amplify,” according to this NYT report. Seems very close to the BS that PragerU publishes.

It’s unclear what Trump might do about the Time cover besides complain.

Update: Should’ve added — the NYT reporter who *broke* the story of Benioff apparently encouraging 47 to send USMIL troops to #SF possibly mischaracterized (exaggerated) his comments. Just a thought, based on this #SFStandard report: sfstandard.com/2025/10/12/b...

Benioff downplays comments about welcoming National Guard in SF

But it wasn’t until he already started a firestorm.
