This story has been updated to reflect that these rumors are not true. So let’s make them real. See y’all Friday morning at 1930 Beach Street!

Guys, have you seen the ads ICE has been airing in "sanctuary cities"? They're aimed at disgruntled cops—cops upset they've been "ordered to stand down"—trying to get them to quit and instead join ICE for a $50,000 signing bonus. www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento... www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/c...

At this point, if you do not see what is going on here, you are dumber than a Nazi

On October 18, we rise! Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other! Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. FIND or HOST a 10/18 action at www.FiftyFifty.one #NoKings #Oct18 #50501Movement

There isn't a single communist on the earth who respects the death of Kirk less than his "friends" do

Some of us are old enough to remember the huge brouhaha over the memorial for Paul Wellstone. How times have changed...

This is who Williams College lowered their flags to half mast for events.williams.edu/event/campus...

The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list

"Disorienting" is the right word and peril. You have to leverage the wins for momentum (message: we're winning) while acting as if you are currently losing on net (which *is* true). "We are sure to win if we accelerate and to lose if we don't" is a tricky mindset but the right one. via @gowder.io

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

Coal of Fire includes The Book of Ruth in full, as well as short selections from Job, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and a couple of psalms. I like to run my mouth off about ancient Hebrew & sacred translation. This is the very beginning of trying to write my way toward the kinds of translations I dream about.

it rules

i'm sure as a former MMFAer Kat knows this, but dem politicians and consultants do not watch fox news and do not listen to the people who try to tell them what is on there

Trump can be stopped if we have the courage to stop him.

very good and thoughtful response to my book from one of my favorite writers profadamroberts.substack.com/p/phil-chris...

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

With the news cycle focused on ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, a journalist with a valid US work permit and pending green card application is about to be deported for the crime of reporting www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Your Members of Congress need to hear from you. Urge Senate Democrats to keep holding their ground. If you’re represented by Sen. Fetterman or Rep. Golden (or Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, who was recorded as not voting), be sure to let them know how you feel about their support for the GOP’s proposals.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

you should read the whole article (i want to also read the book!) but i want to highlight this first question, because so often you hear that solitary is bad, BUT it's a necessary way to protect the vulnerable (whether bc queer or mentally ill or something else). that's not true. it is never that

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

Resistance ramps up inside CA's newest ICE prison "Yesterday, over 100 immigrants detained at the California City ICE Detention Center launched a peaceful collective action, including sit-ins and meal refusals, to protest severe abuse and neglect." www.ccijustice.org/post/retalia...

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

is dale gribble a virgin? like, he seems internally preteen and his whole vibe with Nancy is more child-mom than anything

Looking forward to this conversation with @philipchristman.bsky.social on October 4th!

US Constitution Article III, section 3: “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them”

Also strange to hear this debate play out the same week this book is published, which feels very apropos to that discussion. www.eerdmans.com/978080288405...

JESUS: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani CHATGPT: you’re completely right. And I want to thank you for holding me accountable. It looks like you’ve somehow got nailed to a cross

Interior enforcement inevitably entails family separation. The idea that U.S.-born children would have to leave the only country they’ve ever lived in if their parents were deported, or be separated from them, isn’t something the law sees as an exceptional hardship.

Haley Stevens once again showing what kind of senator she’d be (thank God Abdul is running)

At Broadview ICE facility, federal agents hurl tear gas and pepper spray at protesters blocking vans www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/t...

This 'skill' will be obsolete by 2027. This is like going to school to learn cheat codes for Elder Scrolls IV. Might as well teach how to fax. The demand is going to be for people with critical thinking skills, ethics, who can research.

we knew this from the data but there really is nothing these freaks love to do more than assault women

This happened about 15 minutes ago. ICE just took one of the protesters inside the facility. This is the first time that’s ever happened. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. Free our friend. Free our neighbors. Shut down this facility.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

This is the current political situation. This was the political situation in 2016. I'd argue this was the political situation in 2010. It is perhaps true that it has been the political situation since 1980. In any case, it remains the situation. No one who matters believes it.

this is the sort of opinion that you get if you don't have the faintest fucking idea 1) how most right wing content creators make a living 2) what an evangelical church is like both of which are extensively documented and easy to just *read* about

"I recognize the situation is growing quite frightening, but it is also important to keep in mind that fear is a weapon. Fear is a force multiplier. If you strike terror into people’s hearts, they will obey, far beyond their actual exposure to danger." don't yield!!

I always love DBH, but this is especially stunning davidbentleyhart.substack.com/p/they-have-...

One idea that's shaped this country is that it's un-American to suggest that the dominant could or should face consequences. You clear the land, stake a claim, do and say want you want, and move on like it never happened. That's the way things should be. No one has a right to say any different.

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

I am very strongly anti the fa and I always will be. come and get me, you worthless sonofabitch

i love him so much

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

1850s Steven Pinker: So-called "abolitionists" are, despite the fact that I am an atheist and a liberal, protesting my belief in reality and science, like the curse of Ham. This wokeness must be stopped, for society's good: I'm on Preston Brooks's podcast to discuss HIS side of story about Canegate.

1840s Steven Pinker: [chuckling] Well, the science is settled, of course. Drapetomania is real. It's just unfashionable to talk about

Walz, Pritzker, and Mamdani are all using this framing with total success. You don't need to say a word about throwing various constituencies under the bus. Just say we're getting back to affordability and American values of freedom, ethics, respect, and looking out for one another. It's not hard
