This narrative that ICE has "backed off" Chicago persists despite a flood of bystander video and reports showing an unprecedented and growing wave of masked terrorists violently kidnapping Illinoisians off the streets in Chicago.
I can only assume our media ecosystem is to blame for this.

Let's say it again:
1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off.
2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off.
It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.

(CNN) - President Donald Trump shelved his plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push after advisers warned him that sending in troops .. could create legal headaches they want to avoid, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The internet was never a perfect place, but at least a lot of these media companies gave a darn about kids and gave them safe, fun spaces to be fully entertained online.
Alas, this generation will never have that experience. Maybe those that had these places will bring them back for the next one.

Before streaming or YouTube—there was cartoonnetwork․com, 📺 home to Flash games, clips of Ed, Edd n Eddy & Powerpuff Girls, + Cartoon Orbit battles.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.
In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

I feel like we owe Kojima an apology because he’s like “This is my villain, Corrupto Moneyguy. He controls the media and eats children.” As it turns out, this is a nuanced and accurate view of global politics.

I know it's heartbreaking and discouraging when ICE succeeds in kidnapping someone despite the neighborhood showing up.
But people showing up, delaying them, making ICE waste half their shift, is still an effective nonviolent organizing tactic especially at scale.
The machine can be slowed down.

It really can't be stated enough how the AI craze is rooted deeply in utter vitriolic disrespect for the working class. Like I've seen multiple cases of this tech being marketed directly on sticking it to us filthy poors who want things like "benefits" and "fair pay for our labor"

This is so bad. If they actually do, it'd mean so many games would no longer be made. It'd stop Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games as Kadokawa own Spike Chunsoft
Consolidation of the industry is bad. The fact we have people continually championing and saying one company should buy another is madness.

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc.
Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy.
Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

I have a long held belief that conservatives cannot understand narrative and have no ability to deconstruct story whatsoever. It’s like some kind of universal comprehension barrier that they all share. Talking to them about literally any piece of media is actually a stunning experience.
Just saw a bad "anti-woke" take recommending that people watch the expanse, and let me just say, if you think the expanse ain't "woke" then all that tells me is that you deeply and fundamentally didn't understand the expanse.
