ICE is snatching people in Skokie today, with Bovino mugging for cameras. Proud of my neighbors for standing up to this menace.

they all write/talk like this now and it feels like a new genre: hate smut; manic, agitated vitriol that reads like it was written while feverishly masturbating to revenge fantasies

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our country—pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialists—are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world. The Uniparty would never have achieved what it has in this country without a great degree of rottenness, of decadence, of torpor, of complacency already

Just unlocked a character that makes battle turn-based?! I’m not even ready for that twist.

Got deep into Ball X Pit the last couple weeks. Now I’m at the point where I’m having the auto-play character do runs to mine resources, and optimizing my city layout for much the same reason. Got its hooks deep into me.

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

WIRED headline reads: Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel Took Up to $5M in Stock from Chinese Ecommerce Giant Shein

All political ads should feature the candidate petting a cat

Zohran petting a bodega cat. The subtitles say “How are you, chief?” And also have Arabic that I cannot seem to properly copy and paste but I assume says the same.

Dear people who don't live in the Chicago area,
Trump's thugs are practicing their violence on us before they apply it coast-to-coast. Get active now, while you can. Help us defeat the fascists and save our country.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago:

"He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

Border Patrol grabbed workers from the front yard of a home in Edison Park this afternoon then took them behind an office building in Niles and passed them off to a prisoner van. Woman came out to MF them and said "you're in the most conservative neighborhood in the city and nobody wants you here."

Homeland Security thugs are terrorizing my hometown, Evanston, IL, today. I can’t help thinking our neighbors are being targeted because 91% of us voted for Kamala Harris.
