I really, really need you to go back to reliably masking. It’s life and death. Maybe not for you and your family (although it’s very possible!), but for vulnerable people in your communities. Elders, kids, and immunocompromised folks, of which there are untold hundreds of thousands more now.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Illinois State Police has taken over a lot of a vacant factory that was rumored to have been purchased by DHS to increase their detention capacity and/or house National Guardsmen and equipment.

So they are adding new wrinkles to the #KavanaughStops

this is such a good story with more insight into how premeditated the South Shore raid was. h/t Sun-Times and BEZ chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

More great news out of federal court today. This was a particularly appalling case in which HSI agents took advantage of this man to get him to sign away his rights during his interrogation inside the ICE Broadview facility.

Just in case someone missed this detail: Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs A corrupt corp that will bleat at any reciprocity

This is an interesting read.

It needs more gold.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

if you think this is anything but intentional, you're really not paying attention to what's going on in AmeriKKKa.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

This is Brighton Park, the neighborhood where a U.S. Border Patrol agent also shot a woman earlier today. It is a predominantly Latine community on the southwest side.

What seems like all the remaining agents just tear gassed Kedzie again, then drove very quickly north through the gas. About half the vehicles that drove through are captured here. The lead group went by even faster. They could have seriously injured anyone in the street.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

The first part of the official protest area is nearly complete.

Historically, zones like this have always worked out well, preserved "first amendment rights," and never caused any additional problems.

NEW! Dept of Education workers say their OOO replies were forcibly changed to blame Democrats for shutdown. When employees changed their responses back to the more neutral language, it changed yet again to the partisan response. @wired.com @leahfeiger.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/govern...

Amplify Rep Lieu's OG post. Here is a dem doing the exact messaging we ask for showing visually how fucked up this is.

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is. Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

It is about time.

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

Update on this: The City of Evanston isn't waiting for Flock to take the cams down, and staff have covered them up with bags and tape. Writing up a quick story to post before I go do (another!) citywide site visit to confirm all are covered (Picture taken yesterday by @joergmetzner.bsky.social)

This is EXTRAORDINARY impact, driven by the Pulitzer Prize-finalist journalism of @deldeib.bsky.social. At a time when so much is being dismantled, it is incredible to see something like this launching to improve health outcomes for moms and babies: www.propublica.org/article/nih-...

I need some car repairs and we are having a hard time getting the parts in — it seems tariffs are playing a big part in the mess. Here is a response from a mechanic 👇🏻

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

We heard you like irresponsible journalism so we did some journalism from our national platform as irresponsibly as humanly possible about a community going through a major crisis, pls subscribe

Seems like misdirection is kind of their whole thing, fam. Very odd scoop from a very odd source. Even if it turns out to be true— 1) ICE moving detainees somewhere potentially more isolated/difficult to get to isn't a win & 2) The facility isn't "closing," just temporarily diverting operations

“.. The data is signaling that there’s some restructuring going on. .. People are losing jobs and can’t find jobs in high-skilled occupations.” 👀 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/b...

Other people may have other experiences but I followed the instructions here and it took about three minutes, two of which were clicking 'other' on cancellation reason and typing my reason, and that I would return after a Kimmel reinstatement and apology. Super easy.

But the good news is, RFK Jr is in charge of public health.

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.
