UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

“ZERO ARRESTS” #NoKingsDay 🇺🇸

Probably worth noting that both Vance and Trump have been “joking” about murdering fishermen in these strikes.

Says it all.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Thank you to the brave and dedicated community members doing their part to resist @uniondelbarrio.bsky.social

Since the Alien Registration Act of 1940, every noncitizen has been required to carry their documents with them at ALL times. That applies to every green card holder, every tourist, every foreign student, etc... No admin in the modern era has EVER tried to enforce this law.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

Growing list of airport authorities who are refusing to play the Kristi Noem video for travelers that blames Democrats for the shutdown: Portland International Airport Seattle–Tacoma International Airport Buffalo Niagara International Airport Niagara Falls International Airport (cont'd)

Just sick. No semblance of morality or laws, just lies and cruelty and grifting.

The report from the ambulance drivers says everything we need to know about the mental state of ICE agents. We already knew they were unhinged, but it’s a tinderbox.

The Dem establishment is going to back Mills over the absolute phenom outsider Platner in Maine, which tells you everything you need to know about how well they understand the current moment & how prepared they are to meet it.

Witkoff tries to praise Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, but has a hard time finishing his thought because of booing

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

“.. the first time a Republican governor has questioned the interstate deployment of National Guard troops over a governor’s objections.” @nytimes.com #OKgov www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

This needs to be reported WIDELY. Proof these goons aren’t afraid to murder anyone they don’t like, even when there will be video.

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

I gotta say: the papacy of a Chicagoan with the cultural competency to comment firmly, yet carefully, on U.S. events has been a hell of a plot twist.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

I live in NYC, and absolutely agree. What is happening in Chicago should be on the front page of every paper, and the first thing on news shows. Legacy media once again fails to do it's job.

If what was happening in Chicago was happening in NYC, there would be wall-to-wall cable news coverage

We kind of moved right past our government blowing up people in international waters on a whim, but if they can kill 11 people on a boat because they’re “drug traffickers,” without any evidence to support that assertion, who is to say you and I aren’t drug traffickers?

Rodrigo Dueterte is literally in The Hague for this headline. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/u...

Twitterverse apparently has clickbait fake posts about the #tsunami advisories in #SoCal (per my anxious friends). <1 ft expected in most places around here. Please be alert, not anxious 🙏🏻

oh for fuck's sake they started denying the word "expression" and it turns out that, uh, the mechanics of gene expression into proteins is a thing that now is politically banned?

El Salvador president Nayib Bukele still needs to be investigated and convicted by the ICC for the human rights abuses he committed in #CECOT against innocent people.

1/ “We got a beating for breakfast. We got a beating for lunch. We got a beating for dinner.” @nlanard.bsky.social & @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social broke story Venezuelans sent to CECOT for innocent tattoos (like autism awareness). Now they chronicle their return: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If I had money, I would donate it to these folks – Immigrant Defenders. They represented Andry and other men in CECOT. They are ferocious advocates. At the border, every day, pushing. They represented Andry and a number of other men sent to CECOT. www.immdef.org/support

Maria Quevedo, the mother of Eddie Adolfo Hurtado Quevedo, told us she was feeling relieved but still scared. “Happy because God gave me the gift of seeing my son free on my birthday. Scared because my son is going to Venezuela, where he was threatened by the [paramilitary group] colectivos.”

Thank you @maxwellfrost.bsky.social for asking people not to call the Everglades internment camp by that cynical cutesy name. Language matters. In this misinformation environment, it’s critical to use the right language.

Be very afraid there ICE, as a 71 year old, I can attest that most of us have no more fucks left to give, so bring it.

HUGE admission by El Salvador here; it completely puts to lie the Trump admin’s repeated claims in court that it has no control over people sent to El Salvador to be imprisoned without trial. El Salvador told the United Nations definitively; these people are being held under U.S. jurisdiction.

What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE

This letter is substantially dumber than I guessed when I saw the post, which is saying something.

@velshi.com Excellent segment on the danger of dehumanizing immigrants today. It needs to be said again and again with your same urgency and passion.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans are taking votes right now to jam through their awful bill. They don’t want you to know all the bad votes they’re taking. I’m making sure you know EXACTLY where they stand and what they’re doing.🧵

now just two days away

Fresh, fiercer Dem leadership please

🚨 🚨 The bill the Senate votes on today pumps 45 BILLION into this system 👇🏽 while stripping 12-17 million Americans from healthcare. CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY. Leave a message, flood the lines, tell everyone you know. 🙏🏽

Please help make the disapproval totals make sense 🧐 Courtesy of the smart, honest people at Fox News

No justice will be served, sadly - but will her story be heard or forgotten?

Facts: ✔️some hospitals won't be able to function w/o foreign-trained doctors coming to the US for further training ✔️even if given entry visa, doctors are afraid to come to the US due to country-of-origin-based deportations ✔️25% of US doctors are foreign-trained & practice in rural&underserved areas
