Så, Moderaterna vill alltså inte sätta in åtgärder mot SD:s trollfabriker eller deras homofoba attacker mot dragqueens men däremot mot Nooshi Dadgostar?

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

"Roei was murdered on October 7 and died yesterday." 💔

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Meanwhile, antisemitic chant at a far-right anti-immigration protest today in Amsterdam: “Hey Franz Timmermans, you dirty filthy cancer Jew, just go and die” (not getting into semantics of translating kkr, which I’m tempted to more loosely translate as “f*cking” in this context but that’s just me)

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Given that anyone with a brain ought to recognise how many “national dishes” were impossible pre-Columbian Exchange, it’s nice to finally see pushback on the inherently ethnonationalist/racist claim that some cultures have “authentic dishes” and other “parasitic” cultures only “steal” them

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Man it really sucks that people heard “Jews and Israelis aren’t synonymous” and interpreted that to mean “you can be as antisemitic as you want if you just say Israeli instead of Jewish”

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

good afternoon

Media polls in Sweden. Basically *no one* except journalists and politicians is using X

Sunday reading: I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves. This week’s piece:

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

As the Salvation Army's enabling of ICE is drawing more attention to them, read our piece on their long record of anti-queer/trans hatred, classism and abuse of the poor. @davidforbes.bsky.social wrote this when Asheville city hall gave the SA over $1 million. ashevilleblade.com?p=4827 #avlnews

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

I have fucking had it with the edgelord leftists who quote post my shit with incitements to violence, like I'm sorry either you're the fucking feds or you're somehow even dumber than they are. the frogs & the wine moms are doing 100x the work y'all are by dooming and posting nonsense.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

Försäkringskassans rapport är smärtsamt tydlig. Medarbetare inom vård, skola och omsorg löper störst risk att drabbas av stressrelaterade sjukskrivningar pga på stress, ångest, depression och utmattning. Skälet är ökande obalans mellan krav och resurser. tankesmedjanbalans.se/forsakringsk...

New post just out: The relationship between Russia and the European radical right goes well beyond Reform's Nathan Gill being bribed. In this post I trace the history back to the 1990s and look at the threat it poses now. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/r...

And this: 92% of the growth in the entire country this year has been data centers. And some of that is "circular deals" that dont involve actual money fortune.com/2025/10/07/d...

Clearly someone who grew up here, she has no accent; really want to know what was going on here. Looks like they were following her already at the start of the video. Why?

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster. The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7." @timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago. She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi. David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison. Here's their story.

FULL STORY HERE: Emails began flooding CDC inboxes late Friday night announcing dozens of layoffs. HR people brought back from furlough to oversee the RIFs. Disease detectives, entire Washington office, global health, injury prevention, MMWR staff among those hit. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Also, a total lie that American students have been crowded out by international students. International students effectively subsidize the tuition of American students!

Regeringen slaktar nattåget till Berlin. Detta har varit mitt sätt att arbetspendla. Fasen vad ledsen och arg jag blir. Varför ska ni förstöra precis allt som är bra. Ni kan dra åt helvete!

It's profoundly funny to me that in 2025 the least evil part of DHS is the Transportation Security Administration.

If we have a majority in the senate, quickest way is to just renominate all article 3 judges as Supreme Court justices. The GOP kindly has changed the debate rules to allow batch confirmations with a simple majority, so just do them all day 1 (except the obvious assholes like Kascmaryk).

According the victim's attorney, body camera footage captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good.” trib.al/2RfPYXK

I truly cannot emphasize enough how this is straight up Lysenkoism. Because of the incredible work of our nation’s scientists, we have our finger tips on the closest thing humanity has ever come to “a cure for cancer”, but brainworm over here doesn’t believe in it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/h...

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

i deactivated twitter today. it's becoming pretty obvious they're feeding personal information to bad actors and when i flew back into LAX from France a week or so ago i saw an agent going through a US person's phone. it's just not safe to use

By Harbinger @ffp34thewin Also very curious how people don’t realise that part of why the government doesn’t encourage testing for COVID when symptomatic is to prevent them ( correctly ) linking their new stroke / heart attack /diabetes / cancer relapse / pneumonia / embolism to it.

This is why we need more costumed protesters Hard to cosplay as a badass when a giant frog or a dino or a big pink pig is waving its arms and thrusting its pelvis at you

Deadly strikes on boats in the Caribbean under what legal authority? The White House never stated one, but it leaked. Apparently the answer is a lawyer wrote down something that amounts to drugs are weapons so the president can kill whoever he says is moving drugs, without evidence or review.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
