“There’s some people who probably would say: ‘Oh, this is a dangerous environment. Let me get off the street. Let me just take care of myself.’ I didn’t feel like that. I felt like a medic in the war…I had to make sure everybody on my route was okay.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A heartbreaking and chilling account of a newsroom in decline. I hope that @opb.org is able to right the ship. open.substack.com/pub/westerne...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Congrats on the new job, @travisezell.bsky.social !

Everytime I hear about Trump voters’ regrets I think of this:

I know we’ll all be watching lots of Schitt’s Creek and Christopher Guest movies this weekend, but let’s not forget Catherine O’Hara was on SCTV too. youtu.be/P0Nf3bhOm_k?...

Catherine O’Hara might be my Judy Garland, in that her death amidst the current barrage of injustices could be the thing that pushes me over the edge to start actually rioting. Rest in power, Ms O’Hara.

I figured it was coming. Damn. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Constant grief has warped my sense of time so badly that I actually had to google whether Pretti had been murdered last Saturday, or a week before that. It didn’t seem possible that I’d felt so many things in so few days.

Practice good media hygiene! Don't just post screenshots. Include the link to the news source and use alt text for images. Sharing where the information comes from is paramount when it's easier than ever to just make stuff up. Supporting trustworthy media means including story links!

Well, they’ve lost the NRA. There’s going to be a lot of conflicted allegiances out there.

I read the letter and she said no such thing. Yes, she demanded voter rolls, but she said nothing about ending the surge. The letter makes it clear that ICE will continue regardless. I’m honestly not sure which is worse though.

“I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened.”

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

“We were willing to do for this man, this human, what they were not willing to do for Renee Good”

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino is seen deploying a gas canister at Mueller Park in south Minneapolis this afternoon. Video by Ben Luhmann.

terminal diarrhea, sitting on a prison toilet, his long red tie tangling in the bowl

Having a depressed stepson sucks dude. I got stuck in a washing machine and he just killed himself

It’s a fucking toy store.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Amidst the darkness, some good stuff happens. My third CASA case has successfully closed! Lots of hugs in the courtroom today.

Two days after an ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, a federal agent asked an observer, "Have y'all not learned?" Her phone was taken and she was briefly detained. Two days after that, another federal agent said, “You did not learn from what just happened” to a different observer.

Another vehicle opened. Back was full of license plates, gear, various fed patches.

Anyway yes it's war yes it's occupation use whatever damn words you want

Don't shoot the messenger on this one. I'm not excited about where we are now. I am saying that you have to make a choice, and if your choice is to knuckle under to authoritarianism because you're terrified of the consequences of meaningful resistance: own it

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

A favorite sign from today's NYC protest march

Candlelight vigil in Portland today for victims of ICE.

Good reminder that there is no place to put thoughts that you are having right now about what should be done. Keep them in your head. Consider ANYTHING you type as something that will be seen by the DHS. Notebooks are not safe either.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

The Power Fantasy of Superman is you still have a staff job on a newspaper.

This absolute emotional rollercoaster of a post

Just got some accessories for our trip to Mexico.

can anyone photoshop Buster into the Oval Office

Scenes from the “war zone”

begging democrats to fight right now like portland is as important as jimmy kimmel

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Seems like a trap…

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

the only thing that can get us out of this is kimmel situation is to do Comedian Expendables. i'm talking all-out geezer war: mel brooks throwing knives into foreheads. dick smothers firing an M-60 out of a huey. carol burnett somersaulting around a guy's neck and strangling him with a garotte

What was running through my mind while watching Eddington:
