Downtown Chicago is terrifying, a veritable wasteland riddled with crime. We call it the Loop because you'll get kidnapped and robbed. You definitely don't want to go to any restaurants, concerts, or museums in the Loop.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Many white Americans have never lived in a country where you can be jailed or killed for angering the government. Of course we have to fight tyranny and oppression. But from Canada, it looks like you're in occupied territory. Resistance is covert in wartime.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I investigated a Guatemalan man's claims that ICE wasn't treating his colon cancer while holding him in custody. A review of his medical records shows it's clear that he told officials about his diagnosis when he entered Otay Mesa Detention Center beyondthebordernews.substack.com/p/detained-m...

As of 7:45PM ET, protests of historic size are happening in Chicago and NYC, the other two of the three largest cities in America. There are no reports of violence. Why? Because police are standing back and letting people peacefully express themselves. Trump wanted and incited the violence in LA.

Citing 'constitutionally protected speech, a federal judge has blocked the administration's attempt to silence DEI and LGBTQ+ voices in grant funding. The court ruled the government can’t force nonprofits to abandon inclusion to get financial support. The fight’s not over — but this matters.

The racist calls by those on the far-right for a “ban on third-world immigration” is grotesquely bigoted & a part of the project to gut the gains of the Civil Rights Movement.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
