Made a real bolognese last night, with spaghetti. Haven't done it in years. Now trying to figure out what to do with it today. Prob make some shakshouka.

Trump's meticulous construction of a secret police force in the traditional authoritarian model: hyper violent, targeting domestic political adversaries, unaccountable under law and to court. Pro Publica does a fine job here, with the sort of piece that NYT, WaPo and WSJ don't have the guts to run.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will: MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR. Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Good advice for Pam Bondi and everyone in the Trump Regime. There will be a day of reckoning. If Trump pardons Bondi she can be charged with her many state crimes. Targeting Blue states will backfire in a spectacular way when the Trump Regime is no more #ProudBlue

I'm sorry. I understand people are very attached to this Ellis Island thing, but it's just not true. www.nypl.org/blog/2013/07...

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

In a development absolutely everyone saw coming….

Today is Indigenous People’s Day. Columbus was a piece of shit, his contemporaries thought so, and the USA is continuing its founding settler-colonial genocide against Indigenous peoples. Amy Lonetree (2012, Decolonizing Museums) argues that we must contextualize 1/2

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation. It methodically goes through each problem in the review. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

I do love fall in Michigan

😕 Here’s the video again: www.instagram.com/reel/DPi9m_2...

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

So can Pritzker call out the IL NG to stop the TX NG????

SO bookshop.org is doing free shipping and you should buy some of my books from bookshop.org <3 bookshop.org/beta-search?...

My mom's first yahrzeit is approaching and my 99 year old dad had a bit of a health scare. I was thinking about Maurice Sendak. I once heard him I think on Terri Gross talking about aging and death. He spoke about his atheism, his grief for the loss of his brother...

Hey all, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social is working hard to, well, defend public health. In Michigan we're launching a petition/signature campaign and if you can share it with Michiganders i'd appreciate it. actionnetwork.org/petitions/mi...

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION. "Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE. Fuck you - fuck you again.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

The Proud Boys stopped marching because they were all recruited into ICE. "Stand back and stand by," indeed.

Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois blasted recent federal immigration enforcement efforts in Chicago on Sunday, and dismissed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s assertions that the city was a “war zone” while blaming federal agents for escalating conflict.

You're either with ICE or with humanity and democracy. Choose.

/4 Is it offensive? Sure. Is it bigoted? Of course. Keep pointing that out. But also, keep pointing out that which they can’t stand to hear — it’s deeply weird. Vance, like the rest of the Curtis Yarvin gang, are deeply weird subnormals, not crafted to interact well with normal humans.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

Is anyone tracking all of these ICE crimes? Like a central database for future trials?

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

/2 The gulf is between people who think this is bad and think it is good. The gulf is between those of us who think the government shouldn’t treat people that way and people whop think we are stupid, un-American Marxists to think that.

For the first time tonight, I'll be lighting a yahrzeit candle for my mom. Again in a couple of weeks. i can't believe it's been almost a year.

Yeah this just isn't a thing. At all. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

As of midnight our office is unable to do telemedicine for our Medicare patients.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

stereo or mono?

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

🚨Attn: Medicare recipients in AZ, OH, OK, NJ, TX, WA From 1/1/2026, the Admin will use an AI program to see how much money Medicare can save by DENYING care to people. Eg. ⬆️ prior authorizations "The more expensive it is, the more likely it is to be denied" #M4A www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Now is the time for churches, synagogues, mosques, and Meeting houses to be out and visible at protests. In Portland and everywhere.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

The human spine is such a good argument for evolution and against divine creation. I mean it’s a piece of shit design. A fucking ford pinto engineer could have done a better job.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

What the fuck?

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.
