The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

If your first thought as a reporter when racing to the scene where an invading fed paramilitary of murderous freaks are blanketing yet another neighborhood in chemical weapons after kidnapping people is to count how many objects are thrown at them, just quit. Just quit

Out at Broadview to see if the fence will be taken down today. The Iron Workers at local 63 which is near by the facility are wearing “Fuck Trump” buttons and heckled Ben Bergquam and Terry Newsome as they tried to antagonize protesters on Beach Street.

Yes! People didn’t remember what Trump did *during his first term!* He dropped the MOAB to hear it go boom! He tried to nuke a hurricane! He met the grieving families of murder victims and signed photos of their dead loved ones!

in the last decade and a half, very few of us on the liberal side even bring up george w bush -- which is why im not optimistic about liberalism collectively remembering everything trump has done to us. we've already reduced reagan and bush to "not so bad" and you even see people praise goldwater

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

There's been an increase in crime against the citizens of Chicago for the past month and it's largely because of ICE kidnapping people, throwing people to the ground, ramming into cars, and teargassing neighborhoods. They're not "solving" anything; they're hurting people.

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes.

notice how—even in the midst of all that—the border patrol agent is worried about his mask falling down.

as witnesses scream that the person is an american citizen, the agent can be heard barking, “then why are you running?”

they’re terrorizing communities all over chicagoland like this.

video shared to facebook around 11 am shows at least four border patrol agents chasing people into the walgreens at 106th/ewing—about 4 blocks away from where feds later unleashed tear gas.

an agent is seen tackling someone to the ground. someone else screams that they’re an american citizen.
