There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Average NYPD salary with OT is well over 100K, you live like a king on that in Long Island ain't none of them going nowhere. Anyone who believes that is a stone cold idiot. How many other jobs are they qualified for where they could earn that? Zero. The answer is zero.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

THIS. If a politician is willing to abandon today's Inconvenient Vulnerable Group in the name of political expedience? They'll abandon them all. And fascists will not be appeased by any of it, anyway. They just switch targets. That's how this works.

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

What an unsurprising decision by corporations that desperately need to make money with AI. If every other company with a chatbot isn't already doing this, then expect them to be following Meta's lead soon. The chatbot is not your friend; it's a corporate listening device. www.ft.com/content/22f7...

Meta will use conversations people have with its chatbots to personalise advertising and content across its platforms, in a sign of how tech companies plan to make money from artificial intelligence.

The owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp on Wednesday said it would use the content of chats with its Meta AI to create advertising recommendations across its suite of apps.

“People will already expect that their Meta AI interactions are being used for these personalisation purposes,” said Christy Harris, privacy and data policy manager at Meta.

So tempting to teach an online course in rhetoric by just using NYT headlines

Mark Jacob @markjacob.bsky.social · 23m

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

Watch how corporate media ascribes all of the agency to one party.

Notice how Republicans never simply do anything? The only action this article actually ascribes to Republicans is "following through on his threat".

Chuck Schumer sounded as if he were relishing his standoff with the Republicans

What Chuck Schumer is doing right now, it’s sickening.”

Democrats are maximizing the leverage they have

Outrage followed from Republicans, who printed out the Senate minority leader’s remark on posters and condemned it

the White House took it upon itself to increase the misery for government employees when Russ Vought, the director of the office of management and budget, began following through on his threat to carry out layoffs.

“The African American unemployment rate has surged over the past four months, from 6 to 7.5 percent, while the rate for white people ticked down slightly to 3.7 percent. On top of a slowing economy, the White House’s actions have disproportionately harmed Black workers, economists said.”

Hard to get "the people" to fight fascism when "the people" support so many tenets of fascism. The folks looked up the definition and said "yeah...get THEM." You not articulate enough to convince them that they're also "them."

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Part of the problem is that office holders are treated as if they’re somehow part of a noble elect who are entitled to their position, and it’s our job to personally identify with their struggles and understand just how tough they have it.

Image of the Biting Pear of Salamanca, artwork by Ursula Vernon (@tkingfisher.com on Bluesky). The image features an enormous green pear, with an open mouth, rather large teeth, and a correspondingly well-illustrated tongue. It is sitting on a grassy hillside with daisies visible in the foreground and a meandering stream in the background on the right. On the right, in the far background is a tower faintly resembling a lighthouse, as well as two creatures that vaguely look like giraffes in the midground.

In white lettering overtop the image are the words "LOL WUT"
