Scary to think of how bad things would have to get before USians are compelled to general strike.

Understand this: most Black people see the Graham Platner controversy through a completely different lens than most white people— our lived experience. So stop telling us it’s no big deal. It’s no big deal to YOU.

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

He murders people in intl waters w/o due process or evidence. He demolishes our East Wing because he feels like it w/o consultation. He fuels an abusive police state to grab people off the street w/o due process. Meanwhile, billionaires & corporations keep handing him millions. They are complicit.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.
Also - so what if someone bought steak with SNAP? Lower income people can’t have nice things? They’re supposed to buy and eat gruel?
This Platner situation illustrates how white men who aren’t right leaning (yet) are desperate for a white male hero.

Just learning that the man who hid his Nazi tattoo for years is a Hotchkiss alum and you will not convince me that he is either working class or ignorant of what he gets permanently etched on his body
His grandfather had a whole suite of Knoll office furniture named the Warren Platner Group after him.

His dad was an attorney who moved to Maine. His mom was a restaurant owner.

Graham attended prep school at The Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. 2025 tuition: 77k

He's nowhere near working class.
And their supporters. Don’t let them off the hook.

Yes. And the confederate states.
“Stench” is accurate.

It's election day in Ireland, y'all.
The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

What happened to all the art, furniture and priceless historical treasures that were in the East Wing?

Did Trump just give it away to his buddies? Is it at Mar-a-Lago? Did Jared and Ivana just help themselves to it?

No one knows
Calling this administration corrupt seems inadequate.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

I don’t think the military should be privately financed on an ad hoc basis.

Or, how do we persuade content creators that there is power and satisfaction in publishing good information on which their expanding audiences can rely. See my post. newscreatorcorps.org/2025/10/news...
It's not just right wing billionaires & tech control of media & news, readership of local news sites is cratering. -- 2025 State of Local News Report @medillschool.bsky.social.
How do we help people to value & recognize real news & journalism again over misleading social media & content creators?
It's not just the newspapers.

"While declines to print readership are almost a foregone conclusion, 'digital traffic to local news sites is experiencing a cratering similar to that of print,' State of Local News Project director Zach Metzger writes in the report. www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/in-m...
When this era is done, I don’t want to hear anyone saying “Let’s move on.” We deserve ACCOUNTABILITY.
