RIP Ludwig Wittgenstein you would’ve loved You Can See Everything

the actual American centrist compromise position is “tax the billionaires to fund the military” and that’s like…considered progressive

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

“it’s not just rich people getting richer—it’s also their institutions!”

they cannot be fr with this

made @bencollins.bsky.social sign my copy of @theonion.com last night, highly recommend, not for sale, long live Ben Onion

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

“They say he who laughs last, laughs best. And Ben Collins is the best.” Couldn’t agree more. time.com/collection/t...

for Chicagoans who think the drumbeat of negative coverage of the Johnson admin is fair & accurate, here’s the full Ed board of Crains claiming he is antisemitic bc 2 months ago I did not delete bot comments on a viral video about Michael Sacks donations: www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/edit...

me at the restaurant telling everyone it’s not JUST my best friend’s bachelorette we also all adore her future husband

hilarious to me when politicians are accused of pandering to the base. we’ve strayed so far from god’s light that it’s now a diss to point out that government officials are doing things that the people who elected them want them to do

good morning, you have no idea how much it's been killing me not to be able to tell you this but we made it and wow I can't wait to dive in: blockclubchicago.org/2026/09/11/l...

i think enough people remember stimulus checks and associate them with Trump that coming online to preemptively call people idiots for believing he might cut a check is perhaps not the move

Boycott is still on. No Starbucks till the union gets a contract.

having such a good* month it's making me feel legitimately bad for all of my opps. thoughts and prayers *personal level only, obviously

the DNC has apparently told him that so long as this is his team name it is ok to have Deshaun Watson as QB?

logging on to fantasy draft to see my friend’s team name is “I denounce hasan piker”

Seth Moulton ran the campaign Third Way has been asking for and

the peace that comes from only finding out about AI chatbot outages from Bluesky because you literally never interact with them…I wish it for everyone

shameful to watch people call themselves progressive while fearmongering during historically low crime rates to try to give more money to a police department that goes tens of millions of dollars over budget every year. this is not a subtweet it’s about Alexi www.wbez.org/criminal-jus...

I do not say this lightly—I think Gillian is probably the most important person you could follow on this app and also just in general. doing more than anyone I can think of to keep focus on the admin sending people to gulags

an echo dot? none for me, thanks, I’ll just reach out to a suburban police department to see if they can install a flock camera directly in my home

got to go to the inaugural daisy chain fields yesterday and when I tell you it was both incredible and a powerful reminder that many rich and powerful people are acting like they can’t do shit and FULL OF IT…Olivia Rodrigo is the moment, we are so lucky to have her I stg

If this were happening somewhere else, we would call them what they are: Internally Displaced People.

Looks like we’re using Gitmo to imprison immigrants again. This is an ICE charter airline owned by ICE’s flight broker using the callsign they use for all their ICE flights.

NEW FROM ME: The US Air Force has done dozens of secret ICE flights to Honduras since early June, in the largest and most regular use of their aircraft in Trump's second term. Read it here now, or read it in NYT six months from now. gillianbrockell.com/the-air-forc...

the firing of top brass was to ensure a completely loyal military in case Trump decides he doesn’t want to leave office, and everything else is a side effect. we understand this, right? “side effect” here not to minimize, but I just want to check that we’re all aware?

BREAKING: ICE charter Eastern Air Express, a subsidiary of Eastern Airlines, has been awarded a massive contract to operate DHS's "deportation fleet." gillianbrockell.com/breaking-eas...

Nick is the hero who recorded thousands of his immigrant neighbors in Minnesota being loaded onto ICE flights, pushing airport officials to do more. And he FOIA'd the video of Liam Ramos and his dad being smuggled to a Texas family jail on a Delta flight. If I lived in Burnsville, he'd have my vote.
