ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

Really great article in @wsj.com tracing the growth of the modern democratic socialist movement from the ashes of the 2008 housing crisis through Sanders' 2016 run, AOC's victory and now Mamdani's primary win: www.wsj.com/us-news/soci...

"Israel is the ethnostate that MAGA wishes the United States were." – @attackerman.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/in-israel-...

Maybe it would be a good idea not to provide tax revenue to a federal government that’s using it to send the military to occupy your city? Would be good to see states and cities organize tax resistance strategies and the redirection of federal taxes into local/state/regional funds.

"They are going to call protesters terrorists and they are going to call activist groups terrorist organizations and they are going to call foundations and donors terrorist funders and they are going to try to scare all of the above into not doing what they do."

after today's Sunset Park march, @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social handed out cards with QR codes with info for folks to make a plan for ICE raids. Check it out!!!

The agent admits he treats immigrants like "they're animals" and that he tells his kids that they are animals "all the time"

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

It's time to vote...for an "I Registered" sticker! Two days ago, we put out the call for new designs and *hundreds* of you came through. We picked our top 10 and now it's time for you to make the final call. Polls are open until Sunday at 10am at zohranfornyc.com/stickittothe...

Scholars of the 50s and 60s, now’s your time to remind people of how the FBI infiltrates left-wing groups and foments violent action.

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

President Donald Trump has dispatched federal agents to Portland, local elected officials said in a hastily scheduled press conference on Friday night

“ U.S. military officials are drawing up options to target drug traffickers inside Venezuela, and strikes within that country’s borders could potentially begin in a matter of weeks, four sources told NBC News.”

Using claims of victimhood from censorship to justify seizing power and ending free speech has been the far right’s go-to move for over a century. theracket.news/p/i-m-a-very...

US attorney general orders deployment of Justice Department agents to ICE facilities reut.rs/3VGb5Zo

BREAKING: The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.

You have to fight.

I'm a reporter not a political strategist, but one answer to the question of "What can the opposition do?" is "Use the extraordinary investigative powers members of Congress have even when in the minority to get new information courts and journalists can't get."

Guys come on, this is obviously fake.

Kimmel won. Winning matters, wins are how we’re going to prevent this autocratic slide.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2 When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline. 109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

Assata Shakur, the Black Liberationist convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, who was also Tupac Shakur’s godmother, has died.

Officials at liberal advocacy groups and immigration organizations tell me they fully expect to be targeted now based on the trumped up pretext that anti-ICE rhetoric constitutes incitement of violence. The Texas ICE shooting heightened their alarm. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2009...

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...

ICE has arrested the Des Moines Public Schools superintendent Dr. Ian Roberts according to an email sent to parents.

It's interesting that both Mamdani's supporters (www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...) and his opponents (nypost.com/2025/09/26/u...) are trying to persuade homeowners by highlighting his support for Local Law 97, which requires larger buildings to reduce their emissions.

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

Some Democrats are also transforming their military into cops. But they do it in a nice way.

After ICE agents violently detained a man in Maryland, they kept him pinned to the ground for nine minutes. He shouts “I live in America! I love America!” When a witness asks why the man was arrested, the officer shouts “Because he’s a criminal.” Full story: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

For @motherjones.com, I wrote about the political pressure & coercion faced by teachers & staff at Success Academy. "They explicitly started with naming Mamdani and how he is the villain in our story," one teacher told me. "It makes me feel like we will be fired if we don’t participate."

From LA to Chicago, the feds continue their horrid practice of aiming high and directly at press. When these agencies get to uncritically claim that videotaping is violence, this is the outcome: reporters getting hit in the face with “less lethals.” Unconscionable.

When I'm in the office, I have Fox on a split-screen of news channels. If you watched only that you'd think Jasmine Crockett was the leader of the Democrats and their big issue was defending people who posted cruel things about Charlie Kirk.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

When Joint Terrorism Task Forces were first set up, people predicted they could eventually be used by an authoritarian government to go after political enemies. And now they are.

I was just on a local train that suddenly switched to going express in between stops (meaning there was no way to get off before it started going express). I’ve been on trains that announced they would switch to express after the next stop, but this is the first time one has switched mid-trip.

What's happening could not be more open and explicit. If you displease the regime, they will bring criminal charges against you. Ask your immigrant friends what it's like to live in a country where the rule of law is a fiction and your freedom depends on the whims of a dictator.
