this sucks. you want "restorative justice" as opposed to punishment, but what has he restored? what has he done? what does a youtuber losing his career for admitting to be a rapist have to do with carceral abolition when he has never and will never see prison time, or even actual consequences?

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...
So far, the Democratic Socialists of America's success has been confined in large part to deep-blue city districts. Meanwhile, in suburban areas and in statewide contests establishment Democrats generally are winning against progressive challengers. Chicago saw its own version of this dynamic in March in the hotly contested and crowded race to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th Congressional District. The bomb-throwing influencer Kat Abughazaleh, 27, won the portions of that district in Chicago's North Side lakefront neighborhoods, but suburban votes gave savvy
Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss the win.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 25/06/2026
The Supreme Court just launched one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. Thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home.

This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families.

I joined labor leaders with 1199SEIU, elected officials, and advocates to send a clear message to immigrant New Yorkers: You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will share additional information and resources soon. If you have questions about your status or need legal assistance, call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365.

The Tribune Ed Board is (unsurprisingly) both-sidesing the Broadview Six case: - It claims we were violent. (We got hit by a car!) - It asks if the grand jury was “in the tank for the protesters”. - It praises Andrew Boutros for being “a whole lot better” than ICE. You can’t make this shit up.
Editorial: US Attorney Andrew Boutros and the politics of BroadviewWas this actually a result not of skepticism about the charges themselves but a consequence of those jurors' fury at the Bovino crew's actions, not to mention Trump's many attacks on our city? Or was it genuine skepticism at bringing a rare federal felony case, which would have required proving that the six were engaged in a corspiracy, against what could reasonably be termed run-of-the-mill political protesting that turned violent mostly because it was being reactive to the aggression of the federal authorities themselves?In other words, was the grand jury in the tank for the protesters and unwilling to look fairly at their actions or was it aoing its duty to resist a nakedly politicized prosecution, trumped-up charges designed not to dispense justice but to send a political message?
These are not questions often being asked in Chicago media.That said, reasonable people can smell politics on all sides here. Two things can be true at once: One can righteously protent and still act in a way that merits prosecution. And Boutros is a whole lot better a federal official than those really responsible for setting up what happened in Broadview.
Still. The prosecution failed. Good. It was both poorly handled and never a strong case.

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

prediction markets doing press and paying people to make society trust they’re accurate, then giving someone the trump admin has hailed as a “journalist” a paid sponsorship post to cast doubt on elections is horrifying. prediction markets need to be made illegal immediately
THE FULL NICK SHIRLEY POST: 

What's happening in LA is extremely abnormal. How did Spencer Pratt go from a 77% chance of advancing to now a 0.5% chance?

California is now blocking the Feds from checking into the election.

Prior to the election in May, Governor Newsom signed SB 73. This law, effective immediately before the June 2 primary, prohibits unauthorized access, disruption, modification, or seizure of voter rolls, voter lists, or certified voting technology by law enforcement (including federal agents) without a court order or specific state election law investigation.

Thank you @jonseidel.bsky.social for telling our stories. And for including my description of Andre, despite not commenting, as a “literal hero” — which is frankly an understatement. The government tried to paint us as villains. They’re going to do it to others. We won’t let them.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
The reactions of some researchers on Twitter finally being held responsible for not having read the very paper they submitted are... something. Mainly, they don't think they should have to check every citation or make sure the data is real and accurate. Because it's too hard, I guess.

Never been to a march this big before. It started at 1pm & it took over an hour for the back blocs to begin moving. Unions, activists, parties, families, artists - all coming together to show fascism is the minority position. What a lovely day.
