At this point, if you're rich?

Any kind of rich — NYT bestseller rich, reality TV rich, "my dad's in real estate" rich — you gotta prove to me that you weren't kiki-ing in ya Gmail with Jeffrey Epstein

A number of local Chicago reporters/journalists have truly distinguished themselves over the past few weeks and I am so very grateful. It also shows that reporting is a public service when done well. Thank you all.

3 out of 4 have nothing to do with “antifa” and would probably vehemently reject that label.

Not surprising but yeah. Typical Trumpist half arsed whatever.

Sucks for the handful of identified members but i doubt greek insurrectionary anarchists have US bank accounts or ever plan to travel there.

“Antifa Ost” literally means “Antifa East.” It’s not a formal organization but a label used by German police, intelligence services, and media to describe a cluster of more militant anti-fascist activists in eastern Germany.
"The Dept of State is designating German-based Antifa Ost, along with 3 other violent Antifa groups in Italy and Greece, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists and intends to designate all four groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, effective November 20, 2025" www.state.gov/releases/off...

Conservatives don’t care about shame, that doesn’t work on them. Catching them in lies, doing crime, etc. is not important to them. You can’t “out” them (S/o to Mike Johnson) either. Historically there’s only one way to deal with them, and it wasn’t reformism lmao

One of the things that's very difficult to really take to heart about MAGA conservatives is that you can't get them on hypocrisy about their children because they really don't give a fuck about their kids
Everyone who posts this should note that Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Do not let her off the hook on this.
This was always where this was headed.

This doesn’t go far enough tbh. I’ll say what I said to the former Baltimore Sun employees: y’all sat there and watched quietly as the paper devolved from a “principled” conservative paper to a white supremacist Sinclair owned mouthpiece. You didn’t leave then, you got laid off.
I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons

Yeah man, they're absolutely prepping the public for the news that Trump fucked a kid.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Organize your neighborhood, patrol your block, & defend your neighbors. We need you!

No one is coming to save us except ourselves
word is that multiple kidnappings were averted due to community action & patrols

if you live anywhere in LA and can devote a couple of hours in your week to patrol and rapid response work, you can potentially save your neighbors from being abducted by Steven Miller's soldiers

Hemp regulation is a genuine issue but overnight obliteration is ludicrously bad policy. Whole lot of hemp and hemp-associated businesses will go under, this criminalizes basically every delta-8/9 product with enough in it to have a psychoactive effect.

(Those 24 Senators voted the right way.)
The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.

Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.
