The Secretary of Transportation is terrified

@genodellamorte.bsky.social best headline of the day!

Every story on Page One in Charlotte is about ICE/immigration: @charlotteobserver.com

Another powerful woman standing up ✊ On November 20, 2025, in Hillsborough, Oregon, a lone woman confronted a squad of heavily armed ICE agents who had set up a roadblock and refused to retreat.

“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.

If the Epstein files don't getcha then the Obamacare will. 🛞

This is brilliant.

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage – reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal. We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

“The regime wants all of us afraid. It is counting on fear immobilizing us and perhaps even turning us against each other. Instead, what we are currently seeing in Chicago is that solidarity can overcome fear and can give people the courage and tenacity to fight for each other.” --Mariame Kaba

Chef's kiss for the bonus Epstein files offer!

When this nightmare is all over, the image of regular American citizens taking care of each other in the face of an openly punitive and hostile government will be lasting. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

There's a shimmer of light emanating from the battered US of A.

A fellow furloughed coworker posted this. Laugh so you don’t cry.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

Cleve Jones gave a riveting, rousing speech at San Francisco's No Kings rally yesterday, and he's graciously allowing me to publish it. He began: "The pronouns I use the most are the ones probably understood the least by those in the White House today. They are WE, US and OURS."

Boston: telling kings to fuck off for 250 years.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

I was there!

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

It's crystal fucking clear what side of history Bryan is on. We need more of this, especially from folks who haven't spoken up yet.

In a Chicago suburb, ICE GOONS brutally attacked a 15-year-old girl. They forcibly removed her from her car, slammed her to the ground, and then placed their knee on her neck.

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic. He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

🤣

The Oregon National Guard general says if they were to be deployed, they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters and not ICE

Brilliant, lol. "But when nature calls, and we walk into a Starbucks, Becky the barista smirks and says there’s a code for the bathroom, but she doesn’t have it."

This is now the image of America the rest of the world takes in with their morning coffee.

To understand the chaos in Chicago, here are some must-follows: @unraveledpress.com @thetriibe.com @blockclubchi.bsky.social @chicago.suntimes.com @katmabu.bsky.social @bencollins.bsky.social @dansinker.com @wttw.bsky.social

Here’s an idea for a reporter: Gather some retired cops or MPs together and show them how ICE handles hecklers and protesters. I guarantee you’ll get some amazing copy. Especially if your outlet lets you reprint profanity.

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

BREAKING: Striking workers are currently storming Tesla showrooms in Paris, demanding higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy. (🎥 Luc Auffret)

really interesting to me that pete hegseth — who incidentally was accused of domestic abuse — is obsessed with war crimes

Great work by Mariana Garcia at @missionlocal.org putting together a guide on what to do if you or a loved one are detained by ICE. It's focused on SF but very good general info as well. missionlocal.org/2025/09/ice-...

That's it. The fear of dying, the great unknown, and insignificance leads to the inflation of the insecure male's ego.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Shame on @washingtonpost.com -- democracy getting killed by greedy mediocre billionaires like bezos.

Call their advertisers. It always works because to these people it's all about the money (sadly).

Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech. Share WIDELY. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC

I'll see your Antifa and raise you an Epstein.

They're gonna deport the President of Antifa, aren't they?

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
