A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants. "What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

Israel is de-registering major nongovernmental aid groups from helping people in the Palestinian territories, according to several officials with humanitarian organizations. n.pr/42R8gJ2

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Reporting by Palestinian journalists indicates that the pretext for IDF’s attacks today was Israeli Zionist settlers running over unexploded ordinance while they were bulldozing Palestinian homes, not something involving Hamas at all. Colonialism kills www.instagram.com/p/DQAE0SCDpy...

I think we can lay the groundwork to win this. @hammerandhope.bsky.social ran an interview with the folks who won Build Public Renewables in New York, lessons there worth checking out hammerandhope.org/article/clim...

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

This is Governor Pritzker's legacy. State police chasing protesters into traffic to have an excuse to arrest them. Causing a riot. Shame on Illinois and Governor Pritzker.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

"My neighbors die of heat...homes become uninsurable, as the sea rises ever faster...hurricanes...But the AI overlords tell us with a straight face that their products, which cannot draw an accurate map of the United States, will somehow solve this crisis, if only we let them make it worse first.."

Amazon is the primary backer of this data center. The residents AND city council voted no.

Survivors who I would bet money are not carting drugs anywhere, not that that would make the mass murders the regime is carrying out at sea any more legal. www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/p...

Please believe me when I tell you: Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now. You are going to need it. And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing. The thing that sustains and nourishes you. That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others. More present. More:

Y’all won’t use plastic straws but you’re using GROK to plan your workouts??????????? Go dive off a street curb into a pool of trash bag juice.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

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.

ICE officers deployed multiple canisters of tear gas on the Far South Side to quell a clash with residents who demanded the officers leave the neighborhood. At least 100 neighbors flocked to the intersection of 105th Street and Avenue N following a vehicle crash involving at least one ICE vehicle.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was the director of the last major functioning health facility in northern Gaza when it was attacked by Israel.

Presbyterian pastors in Chicago have been hit with pepper balls & tear gas while praying outside an ICE facility — and yet they returned to share communion at the gates. “This is a watershed moment for the church," said Shawna Bowman. Photos + full story: pres-outlook.org (1/3)

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

get in losers we're repenting

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.” Among those RIFd: —leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases; —leadership of global health center —leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

The real massacres that will result from these firings are yet to come, but they will come—and they may well maim and kill people in your family. They will certainly kill poor people elsewhere, adding to the already-massive international death toll amassed by the Trump regime.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

thank you brett kavanaugh!

The U.S. has spent over $30 billion supporting the Israeli military and conducting war across the Middle East over the first two years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza — a genocide only made possible by the U.S.’s financial support, a new report concludes.

Speaking of housing first, feds cutting supports for unhoused people in CA is a real telling illustration of their priorities.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

This right here. Kentuckians resent the hell out of being condescended to by (1) out of state folks and (2) the donor class, generally. And the perception on the ground in KY is that McGrath was a poor candidate forced on us by (1) x (2). Twice, she failed to prove she's invested in KY *for KY*.

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

INBOX: an investigation by @annenbergmedia.bsky.social found that the United States Navy has paid USC more than $860,000 over the last seven years for at least 89 “fresh cadaver bodies,” 32 of which were used specifically for Israel Defense Forces training at Los Angeles General Medical Center.

Without the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, Marketplace premiums could more than double. A new KFF poll finds 7 in 10 Marketplace enrollees say they could not afford their coverage if premiums doubled — and 4 in 10 say they’d likely go uninsured. https://on.kff.org/4q7ElGy

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said." www.wbez.org/immigration/...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

As usual, there is not a peep from many (any?) journalism schools about the routine assault on the press by the US govt & its proxies. Did Medill even say anything about ICE shooting at journalists near Chicago?

I’m glad ICE released Steve Held, who they grabbed last night in Broadview. Now, the government must stop trying to deport journalist Mario Guevara, the Atlanta journalist who ICE targeted in retaliation for his immigration coverage.

country was built on genocide, slavery and apartheid, and the lies told in place of this indisputable truth are a large part of why we are here
