NEW: ACLU of Louisiana asks a federal judge to order the govt to immediately return Chanthila (Shawn) Souvannarath from Laos, to which it deported him over the weekend in violation of the judge's injunction. @acluoflouisiana.bsky.social www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

She has now ordered Bovino to appear personally at the court every day to report back what has happened and to list everyone arrested who is not being arrested for immigration enforcement reasons. This is the most insane court session I've ever been in. Feels like a headteacher bollocking

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

Man fuck a Gavin Newsom.

Judge Illston expresses skepticism about Velchik's denial that the shutdown-related mass layoffs are politically motivated. "The President said so," she notes.

"Hegseth said that the strikes — three of them — took place in international waters and that there had been one survivor. They bring the overall death toll to 57 in the campaign, which began in September." 14 more people MURDERED you mean It's ok that we don't have to proof? Didn't declare war? 🤬

Autism was acknowledged medically long before Tylenol was invented. Just stop this total BS and release all the Epstein files! #Voices4Victory #Pinks #DemVoice1

What should I know before my trip to the Grand Canyon? We're visiting the south rim.

Exactly

Remember ICE doesn't have valid warrants for entry, & their "officers" are paid bounties. So if, like the owner of this laundromat, you happen to lock the door, they can only stare angrily while they think of all the money they AREN'T getting by committing atrocities against our communities.

The Trump Action Tracker has an update! Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions. www.trumpactiontracker.info? 1/2

Corporate media is in a bad place.

“Papers, please.”

Nothing screams Marie Antoinette more than taking away SNAP & WIC before Thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall.

It occurs to me that this would be fantastic to make it hard for scotus to continue forcing lower courts to defer to Trump's lies about various emergencies. An ad about Ronald Reagan simply cannot satisfy the criteria to invoke and statutory delegation. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Speak up about impeachment. Tell your rep why it matters to you, personally, and why it should matter to them. Remind your member of Congress to honor their oath of office. We can help you make your voice heard! Here's how: citizensimpeachment.com/meet-your-moc/

Citizens' Impeachment is meeting with members of Congress. These meetings are happening because constituents are requesting them. (Yes, reps *can* be responsive!) This particular meeting with Rep. Raskin @raskin.house.gov was positive, because Democrats look to Raskin for leadership on impeachment.

This is the thing that the President and Vice-President routinely joke about

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

I love Chicago so hard, you all. And I worry about what will happen as an authoritarian occupies and militarizes my city. (Note that I'm not using the words "authoritarian" or "occupy" lightly.)

I actually think a Trump impeachment and a retroactive Clinton impeachment would be super rad.

Seriously. It really isn't that big of a deal. Plenty of normal folks go to prison for far far less than killing children.

His team was asked about why they murdered a 16 year old kid and his press secretary said "he should have had a more responsible father". And somehow this is acceptable to people?

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency. An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

This ICE removal trip operated by Omni Air International just landed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Migrant passengers onboard have now been shackled at their wrists, ankles and waists for 40 hours. This is the second ICE removal to Cambodia in six weeks. The other one was also operated by Omni.

Does it matter that THERE IS NO EMERGENCY that justifies Trump’s occupation of cities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

Suboptimal that the executive is lawlessly imposing taxes and killing people based on whims and for his own amusement. There’s a political branch of the government with the constitutional responsibility to put a stop to this. Will Americans hold their elected representatives’ feet to the fire?

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

Either this ends with some sort of truth and reconciliation process where a very large number of people go to prison for a very long time or we will take a short pause and then start doing it again, but worse.

You could go further, right? Where’s the demand for a new Speaker? If Johnson is going to refuse to do his job, why aren’t we calling for him to be replaced, the House sent back to work, the shutdown ended, and the Epstein files to be released.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

Father of daughter who is battling cancer being held illegally and deserves chance at release, judge rules From @chicago.suntimes.com : chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I am learning here that a lot of people did not know that Trump is demanding $1 billion from UCLA. He is.

Periodic reminder that this scheming half-wit Goebbels isn’t even a lawyer.

The GOP should realize that impeachment is the best thing they could do for the country as well as the GOP.

Elections always cancel people. It's called losing.

Removal of this regime actually stops the whole cascading series of harms, including health care. Even if/when we win on the health care fight he’s just going to move on to the next way to harm us. I think it is smart to apply pressure at the root cause, not just today’s emergency.

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

We’ll be in DC on 11.22 to REMOVE THE REGIME! Will YOU?? @dropkickmurphys.com @flareusa.bsky.social @jollygoodginger.bsky.social @jessicadenson07.bsky.social @cliffcashcomedy.bsky.social @americanopposition.org @catsonacouch.bsky.social @philehr.bsky.social @50501dc.bsky.social

We will be there in force.

ICE is confirmed to be using tear gas in Lakeview

Abrego García has indicated a preference for Costa Rica, and Costa Rica has said they would accept him. There's no reasonable explanation for the government not sending him there except cruelty.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

A list of infamy.
