seemingly in two different instances today, and this one with its own unique issues

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

This is hard to watch. I don't have words for how angry this makes me.

I was just feeding the feral cats and a baby raccoon came right up to the food plates to eat, inches away from me. I’ve only seen the baby trash pandas on the trail cams but to see one so close… they’re a menace but omgg also extremely cute 🥺 it must’ve been very hungry to come so close to me.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

There’s probably a blog about this somewhere but is that Mamdani’s real Nani or a stunt Nani?

Should women be hated as witches or patronized as overgrown children? The paper of record debates the two available options.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

FULL STORY: Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and its suburbs, lied about firing tear gas at protesters in Little Village and tackling a man outside the Broadview ICE facility, a federal judge said Thursday. @wttw.bsky.social

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection. The arrest reportedly took place in front of children. 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil...

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Yep. They deleted the whole thing. jewishinsider.com/2025/09/adl-...

fucks sake

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

every time I explain to my coworkers that a social media influencer from out of town has convinced the Trump administration that the Portland police are antifa, they look at me like I've sprouted a second head www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

Downingtown, PA elected the first openly trans mayor in Pennsylvania: Democrat Erica Deuso whyy.org/articles/ele...

hilarious graphic right now on msnbc as they call it in california

Oh — the situation has escalated. Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in. "Jesus says very clearly … we're going to be asked, how did you receive the foreigner?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=taCi...

NEW from me: In a rare dissent in Trumpland, two conservative-leaning Catholic bishops who are tied to Trump's own religious liberty commission are criticizing the administration, voicing concerns for ICE detainees who are allegedly being denied access to Communion. religionnews.com/2025/11/04/c...

Always feels like a small miracle when I manage to get the 21 pound cat to the vet. Sam is not happy right now in his XL “Samsonite” cat carrier but his murder mittens need to be trimmed.

This labeler is great: @stechlab-labels.bsky.social it labels some signals that can be associated with inauthentic / automated activity. Although the accounts I see with these labels are usually media outlets/news accounts (not the aggressive unfollowing-that’s a growth hack)

incroyable

jesus christ everyday is a goddamn horror show

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money” In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview. (He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

Just like all the obedient MAGA media, CBS falls right in line.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Terrorists have taken over a building. You get to select one song to blast from speakers on a continuous loop to try to get them to surrender. Copy and quote-post with the name of the song. I choose the dogs barking Jingle Bells

Folks, this is another big one in Pennsylvania. Please vote! Spread the word. www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia...

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

not only does the richest known nazi in the world endorse andrew cuomo but he’s boosting it as a paid ad on twitter

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

We had an incident last night. Sam fell asleep on my legs for awhile, closest he’s been to sitting on my lap in 2 years. But then he woke up suddenly and was startled. I assume he forgot he was laying on human legs 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk what woke him up but he was spooked! He jumped straight up 3 feet… (cont)

The @us.theguardian.com has a number of open positions, including two reporter roles focusing on organizing and movement building. Jobs are 12 month contract, full-time, union, flexible location workwithus.theguardian.com/job-search/e... workwithus.theguardian.com/job-search/e...

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles. This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says she has retroactively appointed former Trump attorney Lindsey Halligan as a "special attorney" for DOJ and has "ratified" all of her actions to date, including her presentations to the grand juries that indicted Trump's foes.

Read this and wrap your head around the way white institutions so often want marginalized people to present their stories in weak, hyper-personalized, depoliticized ways.

If you read an amazing article from Teen Vogue about politics in the last several years, chances are that Lex McMenamin wrote it. Any publication that is serious about meeting this moment would be lucky to have them.

I honestly was not sure if this is a legit UVA police account or not. Seemed weird for an official police account to post "RUN-HIDE-FIGHT" in all caps like that but maybe it's just a phrase used on campus? Like safety policy messaging? PS: Latest update is *no evidence of an attack*

wow, very classy stuff

Did her car just collide with ICE all on its own? No, ICE hit her car, then dragged her out of it. But you’d never know from this weasel-worded headline in the @chicagotribune.com 😑 www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

Waiting for ballroom donors and billionaires to donate to food banks

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

Quite a lot of misogynistic language in one paragraph
