Nothing in ICE’s tweet contradicts anything in my thread. The guy had traffic violations from “years ago”. That does not make him a criminal. ICE does not even try to rebut the other facts bsky.app/profile/davi...

I'm perfectly ok with emergency services for immigrants being covered. I'm NOT OK with the federal govt using MY tax $ to pay CONTRACTORS for any kind of law enforcement or prison services. NO ONE SHOULD PROFIT ON INCARCERATION. It encourages creating excuses to KEEP people in & cut corners on care.

What is somebody gonna ask this scumbag straight up to prove it. To put up or shut up. I want to see him knocked on his ass by a reporter. I want the country to see what a little pissant he is.

I can’t wait to see him perp walked into trial. That’s a felony.

On this day in 2009, the 50+ US soldiers at COP Keating awoke to the horrific news that they were under fierce attack by more than 300 insurgents.

Trump and Republicans are desperately trying to make your healthcare twice as expensive.

That sounds like the government investigating itself. That won’t go much fucking farther than a fart. It’ll be all smoking mirrors and no one go to prison. least of all the wife of a scumbag governor.

This is critical. I asked Chris Murphy if Dems risk sending the message that they're okay w/Trump's lawbreaking provided they extend ACA subsidies. His answer was striking: On the full year budget, Dems cannot give a bipartisan imprimatur to Trump's lawlessness. 7/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

Good. We don’t like nazis

Joni is a shill and a assholery republican

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

“This is extortion, plain and simple. It is not hyperbole to say that the future of higher education.. requires that every university reject it…The only solution is solidarity and collective action against this effort at federal control over higher education.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

This was always the plan. Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

If someone says "why don't they just get in line," send them this.

unrealized, illiquid--doesn't matter. i give absolutely no fuck about that. that's a them problem. tax it.

NEW: "I’m thrilled to be a polio dinosaur. I am living proof that even though the Salk vaccine did not arrive in time to prevent my limp or rejection as a kickball pitcher, science is the workshop of miracles....Vaccines are manmade miracles among us." www.thebulwark.com/p/polio-vacc...

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

Mike Johnson is a fucking liar. And I wonder what he was doing on Grindr

today i learned dorothy thompson was dragging trumpy tradwives in 19-hundred-and-fucking-41 in Harper's, the same magazine which would 79 years later publish a letter decrying precisely this kind of drag as illiberal cancel culture

FYI this right here is essentially the same thing, constitutionally speaking, as the actual heart of the Iran-Contra scandal

I’m not religious at all and this offends the shit out of me

It's been clear to some of us that this is the right endgame to a shutdown showdown for a while now bsky.app/profile/kwco...

Jane Fonda relaunches the Committee for the First Amendment, a free speech initiative originally spearheaded by her father, Hollywood icon Henry Fonda, in response to the rise of “McCarthyism” during the 1940s.

So DOJ went to a federal grand jury and failed. Rather than giving up, they went to a local DC grand jury (possible due to DC’s status) on the same charge, and that grand jury indicted. Now DOJ is trying to move the case *back* to federal court. The judge is like… that doesn’t seem legal, brief it.

Trump And i are the same age.(a year apart). Sadly, Ive seen many suffering from dementia. Ive heard the unfiltered, incoherent monologues. The delusions. Glorification of the past. The lies. And the rage. I recognize symptoms in Donald Trump. People my age should not be president of our country.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Re-upping for the evening crowd

In a blistering decision, a Reagan-appointed judge says the Trump administration has trampled First Amendment rights by targeting students protesting Israel's actions in Gaza.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

Advice: I am paid to pay attention to the news, and even I just shut it off for a day now and then. Don't doomscroll, don't news-surf, don't react to every single thing. Flooding the zone with crazy stuff every day is the point and it's meant to paralyze you.

Some of the best news of the day. Now the liberal states need to make it a law where you can’t have a mask on if you’re going to kidnap people and not identify yourself.

This is one of three terrorist assaults carried out by MAGA assailants against members of the LGBTQ community in the last week. Each was supposedly a retaliation for the death of Charlie Kirk. These assaults are being reported by media in the UK, but not in the US.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

This is really worth reading

This thread illustrates imo why screaming that America is now a fascist dystopia doesn't really work because the terminally online people greatly underestimate how hard it is for the median voter who isn't plugged in 24/7 to wrap their heads around the idea that we are now in a dictatorship

Like Chris repeats and what Tom Nichols means

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

We have no tolerance for violence or terrorism, which is why we are sending thousands of kidnapping brute terror squads to terrorize and kidnap you and your families friends and neighbors, and to brutalize anyone who questions them, and if you touch a hair on their perfect little heads I swear

A lot of free speech absolutist are being awfully quiet about this sort of thing.

The Trump admin illegally leaked my unredacted personnel file to Jack's allies to try to smear me. The full force of the federal government is being weaponized to defeat me — I’m asking you to help me fight back! Donate here: secure.ngpvan.com/NGY2cCnISU6c...

One more time

Imagine a politician giving a speech down the street from an ICE processing center, telling protesters to "fight like hell," and those protesters then breaking into the center and smashing stuff. Clearly that wouldn't be his fault.

News --> Steve Bannon tells me he fully expects Trump to use the Texas ICE office shooting as the hook to unleash law enforcement on liberal immigration groups by connecting political violence to anti-ICE rhetoric. This is going to get ugly. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2009...
