. @govpritzker.illinois.gov Why? Are we not all against ICE?

Everything that just happened was both brutal and expected given how we've seen ISP behave these last few weeks.

Saw troopers striking people with batons, dragging protesters. They're currently cuffing someone marked as a medic. Approximately nine people we see in state custody now.

Just @'ing some talented folks whose work I follow but won't read on Substack. Fortunately, some publish in other ways, but encouraging them to find Substack alternatives. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social @sarahkendzior.bsky.social @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social

No @columjournreview.bsky.social we left because Substack was platforming and monetizing NAZIS

www.thehandbasket.co/p/we-got-sub...
Not all creators have stayed loyal to the platform, however, as other venues for the publication of newsletters have likewise proliferated. Some early adopters who left traditional media for Substack have moved to alternative platforms, like Ghost and beehiiv, that they see as offering more favorable revenue models and infrastructure and, in some cases, better content moderation policies. (A number of writers have quit Substack in protest of its tolerance of extremist content in the name of free speech.) In December, Tyler Denk, the cofounder and CEO of beehiiv, criticized Substack, calling it the “Amazon of publishing,” and arguing that it gives creators an illusion of independence while consolidating control.

The only thing valuable about @durbin.senate.gov 's robotic, AI-inspired skeets are the 100% snark in the comments. I mean, there's never one single comment in support.

This may be the right decision from a legal standpoint, but what is going to stop them from steamrolling all legality? The damage is being done. The Left keeps losing.

The final straw. #CancelWaPo
An image showing my cancellation of my Washington Post subscription, selecting "concerns about Washington Post content" as the reason in their feedback form. Specifically, this is because of their cowardly decision to not endorse a presidential candidate, surely related to the owner's concerns of retaliation against Amazon if tRump is elected.

I for one feel sorry for #ticketmaster. 34.6% of the ticket price clearly isn't enough of a fee to pay developers to have a working website. Or did #TaylorSwift announce a new tour today that I didn't hear about? #TicketBastard
Screenshot showing $71.70 in fees for $207 in ticket price (3 tickets). That's 34.6% of the ticket price in fees. A screenshot showing an unresponsive ticketmaster payment page. That blank template is where the payment method should be. The session it finally worked took me 3 reloads of the page before getting through. Previous attempts (on 2 different browsers and platforms) did not succeed in the session time limit (before they release the tickets).

Given the unabashed, daily hypocrisy from R politicians in particular, Menendez must have kompromat on the very colleagues who would otherwise denounce him.

Awareness of their own corruption is different. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
Accusation *and silence* are confessions. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Oct 16
Why won't a single Republican denounce Menendez, even as a majority of Senate Dems do? There's two big reasons:

1) It's hard for anyone in the party of Trump to condemn corruption
2) It's hard for anyone in the party of Trump to condemn being indicted
The GOP refusal to condemn Menendez speaks volumes
They like gold bars too.
