Ugly cries in “death panels.”

This ad is living in my brain. It’s so good.

Everyone’s always asking me how to get into the WNBA, and who to root for — so I decided to make you a guide, explaining what's gay and what's cute and what's diabolical about each team! So you can decide for yourself! bit.ly/4khbV9f

Getting dolled up to go dancing with my gal pals. We’re going for colorful, queer and witchy.

Most editors will go their whole careers without ever getting to write a headline this good www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

Sure, I'm as cool as Lane Kim. :P

As a person that lives in Chicago, Chicago, I would happily add every country's Chicago to my bucket travel list.

Gavin Newsom Sits Down For Podcast With Serial Killer Who Targets Homeless

People in Gaza are posting final messages.

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s not just that the rich people aren’t smarter than you it’s that they’re actively stupider than us and trying to get dumber

I think RFK Jr has no filter and high regard for himself. I think any reporter with the nerve to ask him if he thinks the US would benefit from the deaths of some types of chronically ill or disabled people will get him to say yes. With a little prodding you could probably get him to say how many.

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

Every paragraph of this article makes this situation more ghoulish and inhumane than it already was. This poor family.

Am I ever going to be able to watch Luke get his little medal for blowing up the Death Star without thinking of Nemik and Cinta and Brasso and Maarva and Kino and and and and…. #Andor

Oh. That seems terrible.

I have a feeling this is the case for a vast range of political issues that are just trickier to measure than migrant flows.

I think I'm going to start writing game stories this way. "Witnesses claimed that 21 Padres runners crossed the plate on Saturday night, causing some activists to raise doubts over the outcome of the game. The Rockies did not respond to a request for comment."

Just thinking of stories like this and remembering that Tom Homan and Co. said that the deported mother who had American citizen children *chose* to take them with her...sure, because when your other choice is to leave them with these people...

"Only very sick kids should die." Yeah, that's eugenics, sir. Every word out of your mouth is eugenics.

Five days. I think i can post this now.

Hi BlueSky, I created another guide to help you and your pals pick which #WNBA team to support this year: no stats, just vibes. As the title suggests, it is incomplete & biased. (Thread, obvi)

They cover the faces for a reason.

60% of Americans have a chronic condition. Among people over 65, it's 95%. Saying most of our health care spending goes to chronic conditions is just another way of saying it goes to health care.

He was also violently arrested at the UN in 1961 while protesting US involvement in the murder of Patrice Lumumba. A protest I wrote about here: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2361-a... - Amiri Baraka often put his body on the line.

Just in case anyone is wondering: Worcester PD is under orders from the city to NOT assist in ANY ICE operations, AND was under a consent decree… www.justice.gov/archives/opa... Wonder why they jumped immediately to help

Policing is unaccountable violence work. In normal times, who experiences the business end of this is more limited. But this is what it is. Always.

I’ll just add that the optics of a Black mayor in a blue state in the northeast being forcibly detained are very appealing to Trump’s hard-core, racist base. They get off on that kind of thing. It makes them feel powerful by association.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

This photo is of a child in my community. Who was in anguish not only because she is clearly being roughly restrained, but because ICE is taking her mother. For years, Human Rights Commission members in Worcester were assured that WPD doesn't "cooperate with ICE." There's no other way to frame this.

hell yeah guys we did it

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Fuck Steven Miller, a rallying cry for America

Remember when y'all let them scare you about death panels and we said that those already exist?

Yeah. Two countries that have nukes fighting is definitely never going to impact anyone else but them.

Sun-Times clearly meeting this Chicago moment.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

'In the background, a Worcester police officer looks at the desperate woman holding her baby trying to stop the agents from taking her mother and says "Do you want to stay with your baby?" The tacit threat of separation for her protestation of another separation.'

this might be the greatest thing ever written theonion.com/increasingly...

gonna start saying “is the pope from Chicago?” when someone asks me an obvious question

Kind of disappointed he didn’t go for the name Pope Portillo’s I.
