There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

A gross historical fact about white slavery panics (that's all those narratives around trafficking going back 100 years that blame Black & Brown men for the trafficking of white women) is that anytime you dig into actual trafficking cases there's rich white men in the mix as purveyors and customers
A central motif throughout the drug panics has been the specter of predatory drug dealers forcing innocent young white girls into sexual slavery. Swap out “scary young Black guy” with “old rich white man” and suddenly there’s no urgency.

Every annoying Chicagoan watching the Bears, in unison, at Tom Brady: “it’s not called the Windy City because of the wind!!!”

Saying, "I immigrated here the right way, so you should have done it that way, too," weaponizes timelines. It's no different from boasting, "I bought my house when I was 20, so you should have been able to, too." Don't be ignorant. Have consideration for those in very different circumstances.

First Paramount / CBS and now TikTok.

Trump wants to hand over even more control of what you watch to his billionaire buddies.

Americans deserve to know if the President struck another backdoor deal for this billionaire takeover of TikTok.

With tiktok *officially* becoming a Nazi propaganda organ, now's a good time to remind you that you can use several browser extensions to simply disappear any tiktok content.

Don't even let it load, you can make it vanish. You don't need to ever even see a thumbnail of Nazi tinged AI slop.

Democratic leaders should now be saying: when we retake power we are kicking Andreesen, Ellison, and UAE out of control of TikTok.
The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

That's great, Brandon, except for the fact that we all saw video of CPD escorting the fed convoy up Lakeshore Drive and up Sheridan, and we all saw how CPD acted as a rolling blockade against people who were documenting what the feds were doing.

In 2021 I wrote about the closure of the Racine Green Line station, and how it led to the decline of a community. I won an award, which, cool, but then I learned the story was making the rounds in the state legislature as ppl were pushing for its return to use. blockclubchicago.org/2021/02/22/a...

Il parle de "american born citizens" en opposition non pas aux immigrants (en tout cas pas que), mais en opposition aux non blancs.

This is the fucking shit that will get normalized because of these fucking liberals and their “bigger tent” theory. Fuck your pandering, fuck your tent. If you have the gall to sacrifice trans rights, you’re one of them. A fascist. 🫰🏼🏳️‍⚧️
meanwhile, the US attorney general also wants to categorize trans equality activists as belonging to “designated terrorist organizations”.

a leaked Justice Department memo from December 9th added “radical gender ideology” as part of its definition of “domestic terrorism”.

well, nice to be able to skip the “this war isn’t for oil, how dare you” phase of things this time around
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

312 NEWS | City Budget Play-By-Play

They say the budget is “balanced”—but here’s what’s actually in it:
• Bag tax
• A burglar alarm tax on people protecting their homes
• More ads on light poles and snowplows?

All instead of taxing wealthy corporations.

This is the “Trust Us” Budget.
