Tubby told the brass he's going to use the military against American citizens and this is the best the Prestige Press can do.

Speaking of war crimes, this new story by Matt Aikins about a 3rd SF Group A-team, its Afghan proxies, and the “Nerkh Nine” prisoners they murdered is extremely thoroughly reported. Matt first covered this case in 2013 and has spent the last 4 years digging back in. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/m...

Just thinking about all those *very serious scholars* who told me that there's no place for studying gender in political science, but especially in public opinion about democracy and national security

BREAKING: Just hours before the fiscal year ended, a federal judge in R.I. has ordered the Trump administration to preserve $233 million in FEMA funds it attempted to abruptly steer away from 8 blue states. Without that order, the states would've lost the money at midnight.

Are you kidding me right now? This is the last thing we need. KOSA is back no thanks to Senator Blumenthal who is working with the GOP and bringing in Republican Senators to convince the House to support it. Please, CALL GOP House leadership and tell them to keep opposing it!

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

Judge Young: "This case ... squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally 'yes, they do.' 'No law' means 'no law.'"

dangers in Brooklyn - $6 coffee - having to choose between food trucks - groceries cost how much?! - rent costs how much?! - sad feels bc neighbor's dinner smells yummier than mine - dog barking at dawn wakes me up - fucking F train delayed again - too many pigeons - why is every event in bushwick

It took SO long to get that policy passed requiring passengers to be reimbursed when their wheelchairs were damaged by an airline. Allowing them to keep getting away with this is disgusting.

Companies are marketing “alternatives” to immigration detention such as ankle monitors, GPS-enabled watches, and biometric reporting apps. But research by Petra Molnar, Daniel Ghezelbash, Carolina Gottardo, and Antonella Napolitano finds that tech doesn’t dismantle detention—it expands it.

Same playbook that the Chinese Communist Party has been using to disrupt any constructive academic discussion of its human rights abuses on American campuses: sending provocateurs with party or military backgrounds to disrupt class or event proceedings and recording the faces of every attendee.

do you want more info? more context? want to know why this matters so much? why does *calling* specifically matter? are trans rights *really* popular? why is federal money involved? there are six more posts with links in this thread here if you want to tap in and learn. 🧵

2. email your senators, too. contact: reps.fyi you're a poster; you can do this. there are too many moving pieces to speak to on a call. they need to know we're watching & trans folks don't have a lobbyist on the hill. add either of these into the body of your email. ALL OF THIS MUST BE FOUGHT. 🧵

These scripts are GREAT and these calls are EASY and ESSENTIAL. Call your senators and reps today and tell them to vote against ANY bill that contains cuts to trans health care. #DidThisToday

As immigration agents have escalated their tactics, US citizens, many of them Latino men, have been stopped and in some cases taken into custody by law enforcement officers. Allison, Jenny and I took a closer look at the encounters. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly? Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use! Axolotl is a Nahuatl word, and it sounds like this:

CHRISTIAN IDENTITY IS A WHITE POWER THEOLOGY, not just identifying as Christian. Christian Identity believes that white people are the lost tribe of Israel and all people of color and Jewish people are descended from beasts or from Satan. (1)

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

Police in Chicago have open a criminal investigation into a malicious assault carried out by Trump's secret police on a CBS News camera crew. This is one of more than a dozen incidents of assaults by ICE officers against journalists in the last week. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Jeffries gonna hold a presser to endorse a carton of eggs and then giggle directly into the camera at the brilliance of his own joke

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I’m glad ICE released Steve Held, who they grabbed last night in Broadview. Now, the government must stop trying to deport journalist Mario Guevara, the Atlanta journalist who ICE targeted in retaliation for his immigration coverage.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

JUST IN: A judge concludes the Trump administration sent a man to Mexico to sidestep protections against torture. He has no criminal history and had legal protection from being sent to his native El Salvador — where it appears Mexico is sending him. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This week: The Network State conference in Singapore. Watch as radicalized tech billionaires and authoritarian governments openly plot a post-democracy, post-USA crypto future. The Network State is an extremist tech cult based on the work of Curtis Yarvin. It calls for a program of "tech zionism."

Reposted to add alt.

Yes, arresting a journalist for doing their job is a big flashing red light. But I don't want people to forget the whole reason everyone is out there. This is what I saw inside: Four holding rooms. Two smaller rooms were being used for holding protesters. Two larger rooms held ICE/CBP captives.

In 2004 who knew that Imperial Life in the Emerald City was a harbinger of the future of US domestic politics?
