I’m too old to remember when conservatives harshly criticized Obama for using executive orders. Now that Trump is issuing more executive orders than any president in modern history, Republicans in Congress are totally silent.

CHICAGO — U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino admitted to lying about whether a rock hit him before he used tear gas on Chicagoans in Little Village last month. @wttw.bsky.social #Chicago #ICE @brendannyhan.bsky.social news.wttw.com/2025/11/06/f...

😮 Norway finds out that its electric busses - produced by a Chinese firm - can be remotely controlled from China! The good news of this is that the Norwegians realised this because they did a cybersecurity test. We need to think about, and test, stuff like this more. www.focus.de/panorama/wel...

ICE detained a U.S. citizen for 7 hours in Portland after she photographed ICE agents. As of Tuesday morning, ICE still had her phone and her engagement ring, she said. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

We've found DHS is giving local cops a new facial recognition app to find immigrants. Point camera at face, tells the cop to detain person or not. The app is available on Google's Play Store. Google took down apps that report ICE sightings but now hosts this app www.404media.co/cbp-quietly-...

A U.S. Senate investigation led by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) "has uncovered dozens of credible reports of medical neglect and poor conditions in immigration detention centers nationwide — with detainees denied insulin, left without medical attention for days and forced to compete for clean water."

There are more of us than there are of them.

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.” Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

NEW: "When cops, or in my case retired cops, return to the streets, not holding the line against protesters, but standing with them, it’s a sign that the times have gotten truly dangerous."

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

Imagine supporting this... let alone *doing* it

Friends & Family Support Group Tonight

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

A fine example of the erratic insanity of Trump's 'emergency' tariffs - and their real costs for American businesses www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers. ➡️ Full story: propub.li/3LjuAVS

After repeatedly requesting permission and following all the official guidelines, Catholic bishop, priests, sisters and lay people were refused permission to distribute Communion to migrants in ICE detention center, on All Saints Day. A religious freedom issue: www.ncronline.org/news/ice-aga...

We spoke to dozens of survivors, read thousands of pages of court and police records, identified 200 alleged church abusers across decades. Our investigation reveals a 50-year pattern of sex abuse, silence, complacency & cover-up in the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination. Read it here:

Trump has lost touch with reality — and his "Gatsby" party proves it! @samsteindc.bsky.social dives in here.

More Insta snaps from the let them eat cake ball at Mar a Lago

Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.

Apparently there was a Gatsby party at Mar a Lago, while Trump is trying to kick 42 million off SNAP

In late 80s I was social worker in Houston working in Verification unit for food stamps. Made unannounced home visits to verify applicants were qualified &had reported all income etc. Unit was dismantled because cost more to run than were recovering. Very little fraud.So many myths/lies about SNAP

On Earth 2, whomever’s President made a Friday night visit to a DC food bank — inspiring millions to donate. 😔

This is well done.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

I stand corrected - multiple moments per day. Friday was amazing (meaning obscene).

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

“The driver’s family identified him as Carlos Jimenez, 24, a U.S. citizen, and said he was on his way to work at a food bank when the shooting occurred.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

ICE agents mistakenly identified a Durango father when they pulled him over this week, a senior enforcement official testified in court today, but still arrested the man and his 2 kids in an incident that quickly sparked protests in the Colorado mountain town // Story by @sethklamann.bsky.social

Same day. 🇺🇸

Rep. Jason Crow: "While Americans suffer and kids go hungry, Trump's building a $300 million gold plated ballroom. He's found money for $170 million in new private jets for Kristi Noem."

Every day there’s a “let them eat cake” moment out of this administration and Congress. If Dems don’t start plastering this stuff all over social media, billboards, etc they should pack it in. Holy hell.

ROFL

The Justice Department targets cartels by prosecuting them. Since January, federal drug prosecutions have dropped to their slowest pace in decades. That enforcement pullback was steepest for the types of cases used to go after higher-level traffickers. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

“They have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials,” says Phoebe, a member of Harbor Area Peace Patrols. The full story: lataco.com/federal-immi... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

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...

Why's the Trump administration purging our military’s best? Why are they closing a US military base in Romania that helps reassure our allies but offends Putin? What's the plan--if there is one--with Venezuela? A very helpful talk with @markhertling.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/why-is-the...

DHS lied about a veteran they wrongfully arrested. www.thebulwark.com/p/dhs-lied-a...

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained." Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.
