“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Mamdani says that members of the Trump goon squad who commit violent assaults and traffic accidents will face accountability in the courts. Same message we heard from Gov Hochul last week.
Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

State officials say they’re working to deliver updated poll books to all polling stations. If you see any attempts to interfere with voting, report them immediately. We’re monitoring in real time and will keep pushing updates throughout the day. Sorry, if we flood your timeline.

We’re getting multiple reports that independents in Chester County, Pennsylvania (a Democratic-leaning area) have been left off the voter rolls. They’re being told to fill out provisional ballots, the same ones MAGA often tries to claim shouldn’t be counted.

Lauren Egan: The moderates may be right that the Mamdani model is not replicable outside of New York City. The progressive critiques about the danger of running uninspiring and bland candidates certainly seem legitimate. Dems need a little bit of both.

I’m doing research for a project and found out about the “don’t buy where you can’t work” movement during the depression, where Black people boycotted and picketed places that wouldn’t hire us. Shout out to everyone who’s not going back to Target!

<p>“Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work” campaigns of the 1930s used effective direct-action tactics, such as boycotts and picketing. </p>

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
