Oregon Attorney General, Dan Rayfield, is perpetuating copaganda. The Portland Police Bureau, in the last 5 years alone, has cost Portland taxpayers $22.6 Million, due to paying out over 900 excessive force & wrongful death settlements. PPB is a liability.👇🏾 www.portlandmercury.com/news/2025/08...

Harm reduction journalism is more important than ever as the media and city officials disregard the livelihoods of those who use drugs. Read how to support my work in this week's Redux Newsletter ⬇️ mobtownredux.news/harm-reducti...

"Tulsa police union went to court to try to keep many documents secret." "[O]fficers suspected of driving while intoxicated received suspensions ranging from three to 16 days." "One officer lost two days of accrued vacation time instead of suspension." #Oklahoma #USA #Policing

New episode of The Did Nothing Wrong Podcast just dropped. Journalist and Author Chris Mathias aka @letsgomathias.bsky.social joins the pod to discuss his upcoming book, "To Catch a Fascist", and to explain what the Right always gets Wrong about "Antifa" www.didnothingwrongpod.com/p/did-nothin...

I’m so excited to share this with you all!!!!! @alyssaburgart.com and I have been working on this for a long time. We noticed there was a shortage of podcasts…or, a shortage of podcasts with accurate information, anyway, especially featuring women’s voices. Welcome to The Present Illness! 1/2

Still trying to process what I saw in Broadview last night. DHS has no rules. Its agents went to war against people who were using their 1a rights. It's a high-risk protest environment and they want people scared and alone but I saw people angry and together, helping each other. I saw

New from me: A "heterodox" writer took a week to teach himself immigration law, then reprimanded me for daring to suggest that Trump is violating the due process rights of immigrants. He's wrong -- about pretty much everything. radleybalko.substack.com/p/what-to-wa...

THIS IS HOW IT ENDS* My latest film is on our speedrun to fascism. If you got a couple extra bucks, I could use the support on indiegogo. I've been warning about what's happening right now for over a decade - help me make the film and get it in front of people's eyes. Link: igg.me/at/TxlNrJxtI...

If you’re at all interested in defending democracy or defeating Trump, this is a literal MUST WATCH

Tomorrow, at Noon Central, an all-antifa panel joins the Pun Show! I hope you can join us! youtube.com/live/r74rlqR...

Imagine if we spent this money on education rather than targeting black and brown bodies

This is so important as this administration builds prisons and concentration camps across the nation!

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

I made a list when I returned home from rehab, of everything I had to work on. I was sensible enough to realize I couldn't tackle it all at once. So I picked 5 priorities: sobriety, trauma treatment, get a job, salvage relationship with partner, and pay down debt. #RecoveryPosse #soberlife

I went on The Pun Show to talk about Democrats and Republicans, extremism, the difference between Black Lives Matter protests and the J6 insurrection, and how we can organize locally in defense of democracy @kellyscaletta.bsky.social

I'm still figuring out the guest list, but on Wednesday, I'll be talking to people who are "antifa" (small a on purpose) to talk about Trump's EO. I hope you can join as noon Central time. youtube.com/live/r74rlqR...

“As the government seems more and more willing to reject and ignore the rule of law, we are seeing that some of the most frontline individuals affected are reporters, and particularly immigrant reporters.” — @attorneynora.bsky.social @freepress.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

from EyesOnICE subreddit: “Alligator Alcatraz is beginning to look more like Auschwitz” why yes it appears folks got our memo, @awkword.bsky.social www.reddit.com/r/EyesOnIce/...

My latest @theguardian.com: "Fifa banned Russia from international football. Now it must do the same for Israel." As Israel inflicts untold misery on Palestinians, it is time for soccer’s governing bodies to stand by the principles they claim to uphold www.theguardian.com/football/202...

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops? Well so does neoliberalism. Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy." The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

What's behind President Trump's executive order deeming anti-fascists to be terrorists? Investigative journalist @willpotter.bsky.social says it's a "radical escalation" in the administration's "war on dissent and the war on protest."

This video is very good, actually. Watch and share: Change-Makers: Opposing Fascism In Daily Life h/t @afterthoughts.bsky.social

"As we saw with the death of Jordan Neely, racism and ableism — that is, discrimination based on disability — against those we perceive as visibly mentally ill can even result in politicians and media outlets celebrating your death at the hands of a vigilante." !!!

EVERY president since the 80s has demanded Cuba return Assata Shakur to the US for trial. Trump offered to END the embargo if they returned her. The Cubans told every president for decades to eat shit and that she will always be welcome to live her life in peace on their land. Rest well, legend

The impact that Assata Shakur has on me as a man is immeasurable. She is one of the most important Black revolutionaries to have ever lived. My daughter Diani recited one of her speeches as an intro for my latest album with Madlib, Liberation 2. Rest in power sister Assata. youtu.be/joD3kNzRphE?...

The news is out before the family has had a chance to say anything. Unfortunately it's true. I'll be offline for a few days. Sending everyone who loved her care.

ICYMI from his interview with @awkword.bsky.social, Christian Smalls, founder of Amazon Labor, is an abolitionist.

Instead of giving us locked accounts, they decided to tinker some more with the worst feature of this website

people were correctly concerned about the safety implications of starter packs as a tool for tagging people for engagement without their knowledge. it's not good that bluesky has made it much easier to add people to starter packs and still hasn't addressed the safety concerns. especially now.

New #Bluesky Feature 🚨 Easily add any account to one or multiple starter pack(s) — or create a new pack from a user’s profile

Just as these systems of white vigilante violence continue to work in tandem with white conservative state violence & repression. Absolutely none of this is new.

Remember that new study? Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests… And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news: That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

Gee. Sure seems like all the wrong people are claiming to be allies with the "Just a normal debate guy", so strange.

Last Friday, I was on the air (radio) in Washington, D.C., talking about the media whitewashing Charlie Kirk's racism and bigotry. We brought receipts. open.substack.com/pub/extremea...

He was bulldozed to death when Atlanta cleared his homeless camp. Will there ever be justice? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Kyle Rittenhouse is free. Daniel Penny is free. Bernard Goetz served 8 months. Darren Wilson is free. George Zimmerman is free. Oscar Grant’s killer served 11 months. Breonna Taylor’s killer served 1 day. The state and the people it deputizes kill with impunity. www.kqed.org/news/1205727...

And it shouldn’t even matter how many of them have a criminal history. Everyone is a human deserving of rights, including the right to not being imprisoned.

🚨 1,200 immigrants held at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’… ARE NOW MISSING! Family members can’t find them and their names disappeared from ICE's online database And this is why I always referred to them as “disappeared” and not “detained”. trumpfile.org/ice-loses-mo...

Donald Trump said he would "run the country like a business." Now we see what that means: censorship, sycophancy, despotism—just like in a workplace. Wasn't it the capitalist economy that put power in the hands of these aspiring autocrats in the first place? Hate Trump? You should hate capitalism.

Building alternatives to 911 must be rooted in prison abolition, anti-capitalism, & radical autonomy, esp for BIPOC communities. Otherwise, you're reproducing the same coercive, paternalistic, anti-Black, ableist systems under the guise of "community care," and gaining some capital along the way.

Incredible. Italy brought to a standstill as Italians descend to the streets to protest for Gaza. No business as usual. Schools closed. Businesses closed. Shameful on the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

New: For @msnbc.com I wrote abt Trump’s absurd EO declaring antifa a “domestic terror org” I trace history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from v real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
