Portland court bans federal agents from shooting citizens. “The Court finds that the repeated shooting & teargassing of nonviolent protesters at the Portland ICE Building will likely keep recurring against Plaintiffs & the members of the putative class. Defendants’ violence is in no way isolated.”

Doesn’t seem sound: Routh served as his own defence lawyer and asked the judge for 27 years in prison. “In a series of bizarre remarks, a shackled Routh talked about conflicts overseas and said that he wanted to be exchanged for political prisoners abroad.”

the Chicago helicopter raid was about forced displacement and, above all, content creation

For the cost of one (1) Melania movie (and whatever leniency Bezos thinks he bought from our deranged president), these newsroom jobs could have been saved—some of the only jobs in America that keep a check on our deranged president.

I had to download an extension to stop this from showing up in Google searches. #BlockGrok

civil war, forcing Minneapolis chief of police etc to chose a side

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you are federally elected and you have not called for abolishing ICE, I cannot wait to support your primary opponent. Absolutely unconscionable.

COWARD

“Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi….But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.” — D. Thompson*

this, but replace ‘groceries’ with ‘ICE training’ & Schumer with @booker.senate.gov

A. Proud that the Gov is speaking clearly on this B. Newark, NJ come on down you’re the next contestant on The ICE Is Right!

journalism in oppressive regimes is essential and dangerous. it’s the one thing that bothers a tyrant the most. squeezing it from the corporate side and the street side chills my bones.

New tear gas deployed: “chemical warfare” in the middle of residential neighborhood and citizen seizures of docs, canisters, and a rifle? Accelerating quickly. What a shitshow.

this should be everyone right now

Holman is a major donor to the United Way of Greater Philadelphia, a charity with deep ties to South Jersey boss George Norcross III and his family

/6 ICE is a monument to totalitarianism, lawlessness, and bigotry. It should be ripped out and woodchippered root and branch and replaced with something focused on the concept that you can’t defend the rule of law by burning it down.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

Half the country re-elected him after abetting a coup—and I wouldn’t be surprised if Roberts wasn’t one of them. Lawfare and the courts are part of the problem. Warfare on our streets, overseas, in international waters—backed by the Trump electorate—seems to be the bigger problem at the moment.

he assumed it was a game of checkers

Police who “waited more than an hour to confront the shooter while children and teachers lay dead or wounded in classrooms” never brought to justice. Survivors “have pinned their hopes on the jury after their gun-control efforts were rejected by lawmakers, and their lawsuits remain unresolved.”

Any discussion about #DelaneyHall should start with Essex Dems 🧵

Essex Dems revived Delaney Hall; now this company is running things.

‘and you say this is named after Barbra Streisand the singer?’ ‘Well, Bari, you see, there was this coastal erosion project..’

watching the trumpian (former Dem chair in TR) mayor make main street republicans squirm has been interesting

Someone died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall. I was there in May when they arrested Mayor Ras Baraka. We stood with hundreds of people demanding they shut it down. Now someone is dead. Enough is enough. We need to abolish ICE, close Delaney Hall, and hold everyone accountable before more people die.

I don’t know how it works at the New York Times, but my editors at The Guardian would never let me publish this if they knew that I was one of the elites who spent time with Epstein. And if I published it without telling them, I would be out of a job.

blaming Reiner for his own murder is especially corrosive because it doesn’t condemn the killer: ‘another meddlesome priest, rip’

They aren't getting it

One theme here is the speed of American institutional collapse. “It took Erdoğan 15 years to do what Trump did in 100 days. If [Americans] do not accept the fact that this is a long game, and it will be brutal, I think you won’t have the patience and stamina to bear it.”

👀 “Trenton Police are being used as a proxy, if not actively participating, as ICE agents themselves”

Still waiting on the story asking the sitting Essex County executive, a Democrat, if this is the revenue stream he envisioned when he re-opened Delaney Hall

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Drone ambush and no radar: “deck look-outs who were working on the ship spotted the drones, which were lit up against the night sky.“

sounds like a job for Cory Booker

One shows up in Trenton to fight bad public policy, fend off attacks by machine cronies The other shows up for ribbon-cuttings, Netanyahu appearances, and out of state tictok

NJ Dems have been doing this for years and they’ll take it as far as they can—until local dems start rallying against sitting senators, assembly reps, and county chairs who empower them. OPRA, ELEC, comptroller: all impediments to their corrupt fiefdoms. All being neutralized.

gotta be honest: i don’t know what hors de combat are but, the first strike seems just as illegal and immoral as the second strike, maybe just slightly less grotesque. Isn’t it all illegal??

maybe @jeffmason1.bsky.social can explain why no one has an ounce of pushback when colleagues are verbally accosted?

Reporter pops the obvious question so offhandedly that Trump actually answers. Nothing. The picture the President had someone print out to bring with him has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand—it’s racial scapegoating so naked he can’t even be bothered to cloak it in reality anymore.

leaving the National Guard standing *in cities* ends up with people getting shot—that’s what armed guards are trained to do. Allow it to go on long enough & undoubtedly guards will get shot too. part of the plan. don’t need a spark for civil war; only a mound of gunpowder, bunch of fuses, and time

Just dropped: The Waste Fraud & Abuse Act of 2025

“At the time he was indicted, Smith was strategic director of Turning Point Action, Turning Point USA’s advocacy arm.” His strategy:

Judge: Border Patrol is an “out of control agency” that abuses the law & harms U.S. citizens.
