I am glad people who don’t live in border states are becoming aware of, and upset by, something that has sadly been a reality for us for decades. Once again I’d like to suggest everyone read @memomiller.bsky.social ’s Border Patrol Nation.

When someone asks you what you're thankful for, not being hunted down by your government because of where you were born should be high on the list.

For some reason this hasn’t got much coverage, and the coverage it has got has been poor, but it’s a massive threat to a resource that is so special for so many of us.

Sickening

I have been following national Congressional politics since I was a teenager in Obama I. This is how it always works. Regardless of their actual seat totals, The Democrats "somehow" always have just enough moderates (not too many or too little) that they concede to the GOP on every major issue.

If you need (& all scholarship on exiting authoritarianism say we need) people to rise up to defiance, not default to standard civic complacency, they have to believe we have exited realm of standard political reality.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

In 99% of cases the death of a person is a tragedy. People are generally more complicated than we give them credit and most people are a mix of good and bad. But not Dick Cheney. Rest in piss you evil bag of shit.

i liked how Platner was campaigning and I am prepared to believe a young marine could make literally any stupid mistake. but I don't believe a guy could spend twenty years maturing politically the way he has and not know what a death's head means www.pressherald.com/2025/10/21/g...

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time. All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner." It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

Bobby Garcia of Killingworth CT is a neo-Nazi organizer, highly likely to be responsible for violence at the Red Ink Library during 02/2022 as NSC-131 member "Phillip Roberts," and is the owner of the "New England National Party" LLC registered in his home state.

I think the unifying aspect of all liberal elite politicians is how they refuse to take accountability for literally anything and actually believe that bad political outcomes are the fault of voters, not the failures of the opposition nor the purpose of the fascist systems they boosted, like ICE

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I feel bad for Joe Flacco. The only thing worse than having to live in Ohio is being told you're being traded and then still having to live in Ohio.

this is a very well-reported piece and if you didn't read it last year please read it this year

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

hate to say i told you so share.google/4FfpeWYJ8kEF...

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

This has suddenly become relevant again.

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

Great work as always from aric and his colleagues on the NYT visual investigations team

Yet another cogent reminder that if terrible actions in the news today feel new, they often have a robust and horrifying history.

Thinking about the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing and how Italy's security services blamed it on anarchists, arrested nearly 100 activists and threw one of them out the 4th floor window of the police station. The bombing was carried out by a neo-fascist group with ties to the state security services.

thank goodness Kash Patel cleaned house in the SLC FBI office. clearly everyone was made a lot safer.

See? This is a good political response to what happened (if you must). Acknowledge, but make sure you get in something about how the right is constantly fomenting violence.

I just hope I don't spend my entire life being flippant about the thing that eventually kills me, to the point that my last words are making light of that thing moments before suddenly falling victim to it. while everyone on earth quotes me making light of that thing to make fun of me

Since it apparently needs clarifying: We are anarchists, antifascists, and abolitionists. We do not think the government or the police are coming to save us. We can only save each other. We keep us safe.

As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:

I am once again begging people to stop suggesting Gavin Newsom represents a meaningful alternative to the unrestrained state violence of this federal government.

I understand how people get so disgusted with guns they just say "ban them all", but that's not a workable policy proposal in the US. if you want regulation then you'd better have people writing those regulations who understand what a firearm is- in a technical and a legal sense.

You probably should never find yourself on the side of Tom Nichols. He has been a republican since the 1970s and has supported their vile political goals all of the way up until Trump wasn't polite about being a bloodthirsty psychopath.

They would rather fundraise off of losing than represent what the people actually want.

Tom Lehrer died today. He was one of the great comedians our culture ever produced. Without Tom, there's no Weird Al, probably no that entire branch of comedy. He went alone and beat the odds. youtu.be/frAEmhqdLFs?...

Perfect harmony

The "Vote Blue No Matter Who" bitches can vote Mamdani in November 😌

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

Today's responses from both western world leaders and the US democratic party drive this point home all the further.

The law is not going to jump out the books and save us from people who are intent on destroying everything in their path and who are willing to kill us all in the process. Please understand this.

Such a shifty headline to label Gamboa a murder suspect

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

It's about time we had a congressional candidate willing to stand up for basic principles of humanity--especially when doing so involves taking on risk.

You love to see it!

An archived website "revoformation.com" where a "Rev. Vance Boelter" (with same education timeline) claims to be a graduate of Christ For The Nations Institute. CFNI is a Christian Zionist organization with a long history of gospel missions to Israel, which Boelter claims to have participated in.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

This needs as much coverage as protests or ICE raids. Los Angelenos FTW. ❤️🙌

Fuck ICE Victory to the rebels And remember that the only people "doing what the state hopes we do" are the people trying to discredit a diversity of tactics.

Let's address a couple things about masked ICE and DHS officers in tactical gear. 1. They're not "Proud Boys cosplaying as federal agents." Yes, there's crossover between LEO's and right-wing groups. Yes, these guys ARE real federal agents. You don't get onto an SRT without years of experience.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
