More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Trump and his followers love to push the idea that London is overrun by extremist Muslims and immigrants. It's all fake nonsense. London is a whiter city — today, right now — than New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia and Dallas.

Current white population, by city London: 37% Philadelphia: 34% Chicago: 32% New York: 31% Dallas: 31% Los Angeles: 29% Houston: 22%

And you know what? Even if you were wrong, people would still be way better off.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Let’s take care of each other over the next 40 days

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Hey, Kevin Stitt! Over here. Check this out.

Thanks for reposting this, Faine. It’s good to remind ourselves both what Zuck is, and how some (you) were there telling us abt it early on.

A Republican is president so all the Anti-War people are on vacation until 2027 when they'll come back to call JB Pritzker a murderer.

Sanction the lawyers. If you don’t, they’ll keep doing this shit.

ICE agents just took one of our fellow protesters inside the facility after we stood up to them kidnapping our neighbors.

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

weird there’s never any concern about the echo chamber of gab / truth social / parler

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

This happened about 15 minutes ago. ICE just took one of the protesters inside the facility. This is the first time that’s ever happened. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. Free our friend. Free our neighbors. Shut down this facility.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

I wrote about what the desperate attempt to find a trans connection to the Charlie Kirk assassination tells us about the deep psychological impulses at work in Trumpism. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/o...

Quoting for truth

Fuck everyone who has put Karl Rove on my side.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

None of them are even triangulating tho. That would require actually objecting to anything the right is doing. All they are doing is agreeing with some of it and being silent on the rest

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

look on the bright side: if you’re a tiktok hater (i am), if you have ever used a product that oracle acquired, you already know where this is headed

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

Waiting for the day when I wake up to a headline that rather than starting an idiotic think tank to throw marginalized people under the bus, the Democratic Party has actually woken the fuck up.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

what ppl are doing when they write stuff like this is announcing how gullible they are. shapiro, kirk, crowder, pool, walsh and so on are con artists running a game. none of them are acting or arguing in good faith. they themselves don’t even believe what they’re saying.

I think this is self evident. I also think it’s succeeded far better than they thought it would, and it’s left them a little scrambled. It’s revealing, how deep in the bag most media sources are for all this. There’s going to end up a level of fatigue for the 24/7 pushing that they’re doing.

We would have been done talking about it on Thursday.

i do not mourn the death of evil people

Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence. What a legacy.

Charlie Kirk rather famously demonized empathy, referring to it as a "made up New Age term that does a lot of damage." Perhaps Democrats should heed his point. From @anamariecox.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/2003...

And the truth is, this is way way more impactful than the other stuff in the news this past 24 hrs. Bumbling fools fucking shit up, then spinning around like a dog chasing its tail trying to figure out what to do next. Utter stupidity.

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me. His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

Looks like no. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”

“We’re all supposed to just put up with it while the right unleashes nonstop vitriol and hate. But when a Democrat offers admittedly provocative pushback—albeit something that doesn’t come close to routine right-wing rhetoric—it’s taken as this enormous affront”

We all know good and damn well Kirk would have laughed if a gun control advocate died this way. In public. And no one would say "don't fed post" then

Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk founded, primarily operates by organizing threat campaigns against academic targets in order to silence them.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Not just you! They’re treating EVERYONE like idiots.

Again, the exhausting thing for me in the current era is not only being treated like fucking idiots by actual idiots, but the mainstream press position that treating me like a fucking idiot is in fact the reasonable position.

Let’s just repost and quote this every time some lackey or minion gets wound up that we’re not self flagellating enthusiastically enough for their taste, shall we?

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

It's always the Wilhoit Quote: bsky.app/profile/mala...

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
