Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

If this were Europe cities would be on fire but here it’s just another day.
🚨After being tased and beaten by ICE, a man dies in a Chicago hospital. Date and location in following post. These are the horrors of 2025 and we cannot look away. 1/2

Blue states need to band together to protect immigrants, science, health, and our values. Some of this is happening already, we just need to face what more we can and must do www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Anyone know what’s happening with CTA? Been sitting on the red line at North Clyborn for 20 minutes.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.
Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.
Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

This is one of the first thoughts I had.
Have Republicans condemned the murder of the Minnesota House speaker and her husband yet? Just wondering, as I watch Democrats line up to condemn violence.

I suspect the response here will be asymmetric. Regardless of the shooter's identity, Democrats will make strident appeals for peace and calm, while Republicans will call for retribution and an escalation of violence. This is a very bad combination.
