We’ve seen lots of reports of legal observers being arrested in North Minneapolis, South Minneapolis, and Eden Prairie. Exercising your first amendment right to observe is not a crime. This is exactly why congress can’t give another penny to DHS.

U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison said detainees at the Whipple Federal Building outside Minneapolis are sleeping on the concrete floor with tinfoil-like blankets. Morrison was able to tour the immigration detention facility to observe conditions after a previous attempt was denied. Video by Alex Kormann

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

New from 404 Media: the FBI has been unable to get into the iPhone of raided Washington Post journalist because the phone had Lockdown Mode enabled. Apple markets Lockdown Mode mostly to stop spyware like NSO. Here, a real world example of it stopping access too www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

Why? Because violent misogyny is a highly effective bonding agent among men & it works across all the other boundaries that divide men against each other: class, race, religion, even sexuality. To build a global elite network among men, the fastest & strongest bond to create is "bros before hoes."

Yes & specifically it shows that status competition in these elite networks isn't based on money, but on impunity. The ability to do wildly illegal or immoral things &--this is the important part--get away with it. Serial rape, especially of children, is the ultimate status symbol for these men.

I feel like they base their behaviors, including how to drive and handle firearms, solely on movies and video games. Amazing that more people aren’t wounded or dead.

momentary exception to not posting to amplify how beautiful & powerful this Providence protest is #ICEout

Dear journalists, We repeatedly warned that you were contributing to the Trump's fascistic rise & were putting yourselves in jeopardy by propping him up. Minority journalists are being targeted today, tomorrow it may be you. Suggestion: Every headline, every day 6" above the fold⬇️ IMPEACH HIM NOW

you can’t fucking dox a public official!

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

But what are their names?

Breaking News: Spain issued a decree allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants to apply for legal residency. The measure is bucking a trend, as many Western governments have cracked down on illegal immigration.

This person’s bell and ending cackle made my day.

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

BREAKING: We are suing Trump & his cronies to restore the Kennedy Center’s lawful name We @democracydefendersaction.org are proud to represent Kennedy Center Trustee @repbeatty.bsky.social w/ our friends at Washington Litigation Group Congress named the Kennedy Center & only they can change it

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

So we have two immigrant heroes. One in Australia who helped disarm one of the shooters and one in the US who helped track down the Brown U shooter. When a man stabbed several people in the UK, it was also an immigrant who disarmed him. Weird that the Far Right keeps vilifying immigrants.

not to put too fine a point on it but every guy doing the “we need to reboot masculinity!!!” schtick has fewer masculine virtues than I do and I’m nonbinary

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Apparently Blackhawk pajamas guy is the Cook County Prosecutor. There’s a good lesson here. He says he imagined ahead of time how he would respond. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...
