Look man, if trained feds can’t figure out how to de-escalate a situation that THEY created by showing up heavily armed to a scene where folks are rightfully, righteously angry at their neighbors being kidnapped, then that’s on them Peaceful protesting? What does that even mean in this moment

And while The National Guard is called out because "peaceful protesters", FBI and The White House turn a blind eye to The Base Neo-Nazis that are recruiting and growing, through paramilitary "training" events

Why are we here, with the fascists lying & bringing in troops to put down nonexistent insurrections? This. This total failure to punish <actual> insurrection is why we’re here. No one could possibly have predicted. A total & comprehensive failure of our constitutional order.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

If ICE wants to arrest/deport hardcore criminals that’s one thing. Showing up at a place where people are looking for a job while dressed for war isn’t that. Our National Guard should be used to help citizens, not attack us. Always always always look to see who came dressed for a riot.

What the LAPD should be doing is arresting ICE agents for torturing children.

If your news network is telling you to hate and fear your neighbors, you’re not watching the news. You’re watching fascist propaganda.

It's probably time for some of the more progressive leaders, including governors, to come out in full support of the protests.

i don’t understand why, in 2025, groups are still using instagram to spread calls to action. the algorithm suppresses leftist content and also posts don’t show up in chronological order. what is this self-neutralizing addiction?

Most people think trade is “cars for wine.” But the moment you realize that trade is mostly in intermediate goods—stuff like steel, or aluminum—your whole perspective changes. Tariffs aren’t taxes on “them.” They’re taxes on your own country's production line.

A driver killed Maria Ochoa, 88, at Archer on 5/24. A motorist hit another woman, 72, at the same intersection on 6/4. Drivers have struck 5 seniors on Archer in Ward 23 since 2020. Alder recently voted against lowering speed limit. chi.streetsblog.org/2025/06/07/t... @swcollectivechi.bsky.social

At this point, I would suggest as a general rule that the greater the embrace of this kind of approach to generative AI, the less invested the institution is in students actually learning something or having genuinely meaningful experiences. Students beware. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/t...

The militarization of ICE and DHS will lead to more violent escalations. Historically, these are the kind of incidents that lead to civil wars. The mass deportations must end.

“The tragedy of the world is that those who are imaginative have but slight experience, and those who are experienced have feeble imaginations. Fools act on imagination w/o knowledge; pedants act on knowledge w/o imagination. The task of a university is to weld together imagination and experience.”
