Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Turns out your assumptions about what republican group chats are like is correct www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

ICE IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE TO WORK CAMPS

He did it again for the 5 year anniversary

Happy Anita Bryant Humiliation Day

The Trump administration is now ticketing LEGAL residents for failing to carry their papers. We're at the "papers, please" stage of fascism.

I'm so fucking exhausted Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. rm -rf ~/

Also an important lesson for cis White folks (straight men especially): Your threat of withholding support or allyship means less than nothing to anyone historically marginalized. It's literally the baseline assumption we work from. You're not "showing us," you're just confirming our expectations.

JOB! The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is hiring an arts reporter: jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/gannet...

They are knocking down doors and dragging screaming kids out into the night. I don't know what to say aside from this is it. This is the goal. They have always wanted to make an example of Chicago and it's not as if they haven't other places & other ways. All of it. This is fascism, plain & simple.

Re-sharing & asking you to amplify: Every single fact about the South Shore federal raid just days ago is worse than the last. They kicked in doors & dragged Chicago families out in the middle of the night. I know we're all stressed but THIS IS VERY BAD blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s...

Incompetent gop lawmakers, like Nancy Mace, care so little for the lives & health of Americans that they'll eagerly peddle dangerous medical misinformation in the hopes of getting a pat on the head from the orange.

One of the hardest things for me to deal with mentally right now is folks shock and lack of context of how this is what the racial protests were about . The militarization and erasure of context... this is what folks took to the streets for

i, too, will never vote for Rahm Emanuel.

I really enjoy that people are filling this in

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

Republicans don't want debate or compromise, they want trans people eradicated. That's the simple truth, they've openly stated that is their intent. Stop acting like this is a debate about tax policy.

i made a helpful reference

Trump's administration claims they're arresting criminals, yet they’ve detained US citizens. Illinoisans deserve to know why the federal government is spending their money to promulgate a fear campaign instead of supporting public safety efforts.

our trans sister was assaulted by APD and the world just ignores the violence we face

Thinking today about the white woman I represented who was charged with something she didn't do. The cop testilied, and she freaked out saying that it was impossible for a cop to not tell the truth because that was illegal. When I told her that it happened all the time,

whyyyyy do i write music that is hard to play

Holy fuck. One gets inured to insanely brutal ice videos. But this one stands out. He just throws this woman into the wall basically

I’m at the New Yorkers Against ICE rally in Foley Square with hundreds of others. Earlier today ICE agents threw a grieving wife of a detainee to the ground inside 26 Federal Plaza, just steps from here. Elected officials @bradlander.bsky.social, @jumaane.bsky.social and others are speaking.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression. What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

Oh my god, this poor woman. She looks like she came straight from work.

Protesters were tear gassed, shot with pepper spray bullets and some detained by ICE officers outside of a facility in suburban Broadview Friday morning. blockclubchi.co/3VslkAr

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Just the paramilitary secret police manhandling an opposition political candidate.

yes y'all!cancel and do not visit Disney for being fascist-friendly.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Check these!

Stopped by La Luz Bakery and met some of the folks in Round Lake who shared their love for how important businesses like this are for their communities.

This interviews not a single user of color even though the moderation issues on Bluesky were almost entirely concentrated on anti pOC and specifically anti Black racism " we are a really small team" is not an acceptable answer to " we actually laughed and mocked our targeted users" for a year
