They're probably running behind their own schedule on this.

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

"State Terror: A brief guide for Americans" Revisiting a piece I wrote in April 2025 "In the history of state terror, the escape from law into coercion takes three forms... the leader principle; the state of exception; and the zone of statelessness." snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

#leadership we are the people we need right now

When someone grabs a person by the neck and throws them headfirst onto the ground, they’re trying to kill them. This goes beyond assault.

Happy Caturday! May we all rest this easy tonight. #caturday

Residents of a Chicago apartment building say dozens of ICE & FBI agents stormed the building, zip-tying children, flash-banging hallways, and detaining residents — including U.S. citizens. This is horrifying and Un-American!

We cannot let the myth of American exceptionalism numb us into imagining we are above devolving into inhumanity. We have every ingredient in place to become something historically monstrous. It will happen here unless we refuse to allow it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/now-that-f...

Spot on.

History repeats.

This is fascism.

Sometimes, the cognitive dissonance is physically painful

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

Pritzker for president

Pro abortion politics are very popular. Every time a man says Dems should compromise on abortion to win votes they’re exposing their misogyny. There’s literally no other reason to suggest the compromise

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Healing

Call Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, and ask him why he's protecting pedofiles and childhood sex traffickers. His official DC numbers are: (202) 225-4000 and (202) 225-2777 Bossier City office: (318) 840-0309 DeRidder office: (337) 226-6385 Leesville office: (337) 423-4232 Be relentless.

Pritzker is Another Thorn in Chump's Side,and He's Helping Lead The Charge Against Chump's Fascism........

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Big news for writers, researchers, and fellow nerds!

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Are there no people of conscience in this government or federal enforcement agencies? Refuse to comply!

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

I saw him referred to as Pumpkin Spice Palpatine. 🎃 🤡

Are you paying attention, at all? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social does he have some kind of collateral over you? Why on earth would this be the statement you release? This is not the leadership we need in this moment in history.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche, American style

The thing about free speech is that it isn't compulsory listening. People have the right to speak and to self-censor. The state, on the other hand, should stay out of the whole thing.

Yes

79. American citizen.

Refuse to submit

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

Vaccines do not cause autism Acetaminophen, when taken as directed, is safe for use during pregnancy Leucovorin (folinic acid) has not been a recommended treatment for autism It is essential that the administration prioritizes evidence-based support for individuals on the autism spectrum

This is your must read of the day. "The neurogeneticist Stanley Nelson once said, 'If you had 100 kids with autism, you could have 100 different genetic causes.' Researchers increasingly believe the search for a cause of a singular 'autism' is misguided. There are autisms, rather than just autism."

. . . analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.

the disease was slowed by 75% in patients

Suddenly reminded of all those 17th/18th Century physicians and divines who opposed painkillers for women because God had ordained childbirth to be a painful punishment for Eve's transgression.
