TW: this is fucking horrifying. He's literally screaming for his life. These aren't trained federal agents-- they're violent thugs running around in masks that get off on tormenting others. I suspect that Ezra Klein thinks ICE is doing law enforcement the right way.

This is fucking horrifying.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

As influential as it was, I never made a TikTok account because of privacy concerns, and how easily the algorithm could be gamed to boost extremist content and disinformation. The American version is under the thumb of the US government, so MAGA far-right propaganda will skyrocket. TikTok is dead.

When I saw that poll that showed that every single German political party's base wants an arms embargo or sanctions or recognition of Palestine I was floored. The turnover is coming whether the establishment blocs in each of these countries knows it or not.

97 - Timed at 96:59, Eddie Nketiah has netted both the latest winning goal on record (from 2006-07) scored by Crystal Palace in the Premier League and latest winner conceded by Liverpool in the competition. Drama.

Mastantuono just punted the ball into the stands in wrath, and got a yellow card for his efforts.

Antoine Griezmann with the exclamation point, and promptly kisses the badge. That's his 22-game goalless streak snapped. 5-2 Atletico. Shameful, pathetic defense from Real Madrid. Tchouameni dropped off and Asencio didn't track back. #ATMRMA

I had high hopes for Milos Kerkez at Liverpool, but he's been atrocious thus far. It's very telling that Bournemouth don't miss him at all.

After Miller tweeted that calling ICE is "incitement to violence," I directly asked Bannon if this means the government will be unleashed on groups that describe ICE that way. "Yes," Bannon told me, adding that Miller is "in charge." You can read that exchange in this link: bsky.app/profile/greg...

That's unbelievable from Julian Alvarez. Prepare to see that curling free kick everywhere. Courtois gave him too much of a target at the near post, and still got fingertips to it. 4-2 Atleti.

Stunning save from Courtois to keep it 3-2. Sorloth absolutely smashed it at him.

Julian Alvarez is as slippery as they come when he runs at defenders, but that's embarrassing defending from Raul Asencio. He took him out from behind just outside the box.

Arda Guler with a brainless high boot in the box. He got the ball first, and caught Nico Gonzalez on the follow through. Automatic yellow card, and the ref is awarding a penalty. VAR isn't getting involved. And Julian Alvarez converts from the spot. 3-2 Atletico.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

In a New Yorker interview published today, Ezra Klein said that Gen Z "overwhelmingly" support Trump and yet a poll taken earlier this week shows that this support has cratered. Ezra is many things, but he's not stupid. So why parrot this point? To beat on the left. www.newsweek.com/trump-gen-z-...

Sorloth had yet another chance in the box off an uncontested cross. Diego Simeone falls to his knees in disbelief. Real Madrid are lucky to get out of this half tied. This is schoolboy defending.

Redemption for Sorloth. 2-2. Real Madrid have been abject at defending crosses into the box, and it burned them again. Huijsen didn't even challenge for that header. Courtois looks beside himself.

Arda Guler had a chance for 3-1 after Vinicius laid it off for him just outside the box, but he skied it over the bar. He has to force a save out of Jan Oblak there.

What a fluke goal, but Atletico will take it and run. Dani Carvajal is claiming handball. It might have went off an arm. And it went in off Clement Lenglet's forearm. No chance this goal stands. And it won't.

2-1 Madrid. Arda Guler is silky smooth. What a piece of skill to take that Vinicius pass off the bounce and side-foot it past the keeper.

And then Kylian Mbappe does that. What a stunning finish to an electric run. Arda Guler put it on a plate for him. 1-1. #AtletiRealMadrid

The lights might be too bright for Alvaro Carreras. Real Madrid look a step slow and overwhelmed thus far, Carreras most of all. Sorloth should have put his giveaway in the back of the net. #AtletiRealMadrid

Atletico draw first blood via a Robin Le Normand header. What a rancid piece of defending from Madrid. Tchouameni can't let that cross through. Courtois didn't stand a chance of stopping that. #AtletiRealMadrid

“Our investigation uncovered that an elected MEP was taking payments to peddle narratives beneficial to Russian interests... This case goes to the heart of our democratic values.” — head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, Commander Dominic Murphy

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Easily the fastest field rush I've ever seen. Virginia fans all but dared the refs to try and clear them out.

If Microsoft refuses to fire Lisa Monaco (an ex-Biden administration official) and tells Trump to shove it, he'll rage, scream, and threaten to revoke government contracts before eventually losing interest. I expect Microsoft to capitulate. Spine seems to be in short supply among CEO's.

He should have forced his way out of Spurs years before he ended up leaving for Bayern Munich, but I'm still thrilled for Harry Kane. 72 goals in 68 Bundesliga matches, and 21 goals in 26 Champions League matches is nothing to sneeze at. Good for him.

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

Nathan Gill, Reform's leader in Wales at the last Welsh parliament election, has pled guilty to 8 bribery charges, taking Russian cash while he was one of Nigel Farage’s MEPs to speak in favour of Putin's Russia in that parliament www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.

A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

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

How generous of Liev Schreiber, Mayim Bialik, Debra Messing and the other 1,200 genocide apologists in the entertainment industry to out themselves like this. It spares us the difficulty of researching whose film projects not to watch or support going forward.

Progressive candidates need to be very clear on this in their messaging. Nobody wants a return to the feckless status quo that allowed systemic rot to fester and paved the way for MAGA Republican fascism.

Trump gets humiliated at the UN, Kimmel returns, he drops further in the polls and just goes fucking crazy at the White House today. Insane new tariffs, Comey, war against his domestic opponents, shutting down the government. He is losing it, and it’s getting dangerous out there.

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

Hey @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, it's beginning to look like the "kitchen table issue" is fucking corruption. So maybe lean in on that? Otherwise, you guys kinda look... well... corrupt. Or incompetent.

In his first public remarks since leaving the Justice Department, Smith said he's sad and angry about the dismissals of career public servants and the loss of credibility the DOJ has suffered.

NEW: The latest story from the 18,000+ emails in Jeffrey Epstein’s Yahoo inbox: beyond his ties to the elite, a quieter circle proved crucial as state and federal investigations began. Insane reporting from @suryamattu.com, Max Abelson, and team. Free link:

Job done for Barça as Araujo heads in Rashford corner to make it 3-1 at RealOviedo. Been a slog. Oviedo led at HT via excellent Reina long ranger after JoanGarcía error, but De Jong on @ HT & Barça fought back. EricGarcía levelled & brilliant Lewandowski header off bench completed turnaround.

Araujo with a solid header in traffic, and that should do it. Marcus Rashford provided the cross from the corner. 3-1 Barca.

Remember this when Trump allows Israel to annex the West Bank after Netanyahu offers him a lucrative real estate deal to sweeten the pot. Everyone knows that he's open to bribery.

Robert Lewandowski is still a monster. What a heavenly header to sneak that past the keeper at the near post. 2-1 Barcelona. Frenkie de Jong put that cross on a plate for him. #RealOviedoBarca

Eric Bailly is putting on a defensive masterclass. The way he's reading runs and disrupting them is borderline telepathic. #RealOviedoBarca

Joan Garcia chose the absolute worst moment to go on an adventure outside his box. He just gifted Real Oviedo the opening goal. Embarrassing sequence for Barca. #RealOviedoBarca

Ever since the live-streaming of the Christchurch mass shooting in New Zealand, I've been waiting for this shoe to drop. Smart Glasses are a privacy nightmare that Meta and other tech companies have no interest in engaging with. All tech CEO's care about are revenues and market share.

After a drone attack on Poland on Sept 9, Russia flew drones into Romania on Sept 13, fighter jets into Estonia on Sept 19, fighter jets over Poland's drills on Sept 20, drones into Denmark, Norway, & Sweden on Sept 23, jammed the Spain's MOD's plane Sept 24, and more drones into Denmark on Sept 25.

Some of the worst crypto grifters have already stated that the current climate of corruption is rife for exploitation and abuse. I'm not looking forward to the taxpayer-funded bailout for whales loyal to the regime that lose everything when the tech and AI bubbles finally burst.
