taking hanania seriously is literally like taking the black hebrew israelites who loiter outside of chinatown station seriously. same level of sense and intellectual coherence.

@governor.ca.gov this should be a felony in California…? Certainly not excusable as any ICE employee’s job description?

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.

I’m alive

A 6-year-old boy in Queens is one of the youngest migrants to be taken from a parent by ICE and placed in federal custody in New York City as part of President Trump’s deportation crackdown. The child and his father fled China earlier this year.

A top admiral is expected to tell lawmakers tomorrow that he and his legal adviser concluded that the two survivors of a boat strike in September were attempting to continue their drug run, making them and the damaged vessel legitimate targets for another attack. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Stole this from the Cedar Cultural Center’s page since they aren’t here. ♥️♥️♥️

RFK Jr.’s HHS sent out a survey asking employees to report instances of anti-Christian bias during the Biden administration, and the Dept. of Labor announced its inaugural prayer service. These are just the latest instances of Trump’s extreme white Evangelical Christian creep.

I think states should have inconsequential ballot initiatives every year on things like “state catch phrase” or “best hot dog topping” to juice election participation

The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela. Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

Heard the same; this is what I mean by inches from the finish line; scheduled for the final citizenship oath ceremony and now suddenly that date is cancelled and people don't know what will happen next.

Many journalists are tracking the procurement and deployment of new technologies and tactics, but it's hard to get the entire picture. A generational threat to civil liberties that I suspect future governments will struggle (or refuse) to roll back. Dramatic reform/abolition will be required.

many people saw what was coming when the Christian right started redefining discrimination as “religious freedom” and now here it is deployed (at best) to defend a failure to do the assignment and (at worst?) as workplace discipline, for existing in a manner unacceptable to Christian nationalists

“During days of torture and abuse, an Israeli soldier carved a Star of David into Ahmad’s back with a knife. Another soldier carved a smiley face into Nadia’s father’s neck.” This happened *at a university* in Gaza. And yet our institutions still collaborate with Israeli schools.

Suspensions are ricocheting around the legal immigration system in the last 48 hours. The broader picture so far has built out Trump's travel ban (the impact of which has been drowned out by other news). Tl;dr: Miller and his team are working to block entire nationalities from getting legal status.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States. The press exists to play a watchdog role, not be a supplicant.

The Magnetic Fields Beach House Big Thief Gogol Bordello Beirut

Not the first case of ICE or CBP refusing to accept tribal ID or threatening to deport [sic] native americans 🤬🤬🤬

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

Fascist framing. Worthy of Der Sturmer.

fuck everyone involved in this decision. scum.

This was disgusting

feds in st. paul today

Minneapolis has been named one of the world’s most bike-friendly cities! A new report covering 100 cities in 44 countries ranked Minneapolis as the #2 biking city in the U.S., #5 in North America and #44 globally.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff. There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

The DOJ ordered US Marshals to the house of the pardon attorney who refused to sign off on a pardon to give Mel Gibson back his guns. Big law firms told her they supported her but did not want to be seen representing her. This is the use of government-sponsored fear to silence dissent.

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill. @melbuer.bsky.social reports:

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

You will be shocked to learn that the administration's claims about their helicopter-borne night raid against "terrorists" in Chicago are more than a little shaky.

[email protected] - dude created that email when he got his first iPod right?

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

Guess we picked the right week to move to Minneapolis

In addition to all else, they are pussies about Chicago winter. No lower lifeforms even conceivable to me than these guys.

these are the dumbest people on earth.

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

Sorry, didn’t Thune offer this weeks ago? If they vote for this they’re pinning the pain of the shut down back on themselves?

My 100% American born, Puerto Rican uncle who is a CITY ALDERMAN was just held at gunpoint by ICE in Waukegan IL, north of Chicago. The incident was captured on a doorbell camera. They didn’t care about his status before drawing 4 guns on him -Tamara Gonzales www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/07/w...

Members of the community argue with federal officers during an immigration enforcement action in the Little Village neighborhood Saturday in Chicago.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Guy with a sandwich: “Fuck you armed agent of the state.” Ivy League: “I will eat my poop and thank you for it because I’m scared of a Fox News personality cosplaying as a lawyer”
