I'm seeing a bunch of people saying "watch this" but nobody detailing what AOC said: Dems Are Fighting Back!

House Democrats will introduce legislation to block or slow down actions at the U.S. Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to prevent further firings and financial overreach.

Less than 72 hours out from the federal court order meant to stop feds from doing this.

Shows you about how seriously the small army of masked, unaccountable feds in Chicago are taking it.

Language of a federal court's temporary restraining order meant to rein in federal agents' violent behavior, including the wanton deployment of tear gas.

United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US.

All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

Tweet from Congressman Randy Fine: "Muslims calling for the destruction of Israel — after the peace deal.

It was never about Gaza.

Why did the UK allow these demons in?

We must ban Sharia in the United States and deport them ALL before this becomes us.

Religion of peace."

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

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.

Spread the word and let people know how to turn it off.

Orange and white cat stares in the foreground. Behind him, an orange cat blurrily naps in a window basket. Text reads, "our enemies are cowards and we are going to defeat them."

I realize her team is just making content off what she said but this is the message.

AOCs Facebook page makes a graphic that says they are weaker than they look with trump on an orange background

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

Some people on here hear “Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism” and conclude, “All antisemitism is actually anti-Zionism.”

Man it really sucks that people heard “Jews and Israelis aren’t synonymous” and interpreted that to mean “you can be as antisemitic as you want if you just say Israeli instead of Jewish”

If I might ask, why the preference for KDE that causes you to fully reject alternatives like Mint/Ubuntu?

Michael Paulauski♨️ @mike10010100.com · 23m

Having used Linux extensively for servers and also Linux for desktop.

Dear god the desktop experience is horrendous.

For servers? Literally no question, it's the best.

But the second you slap a GUI on things, shit always seems to go sideways.

ed: I want to just install a Linux desktop and I prefer KDE

also ed: fedora doesn't have even nouveau out of the box and says "mess with rpmfusion"

also ed: "'nobara linux'? that has one developer"

also ed: "kubuntu's installer crashes making encrypted partitions"
