They don’t see themselves as enforcing immigration laws. They see themselves as deciding who gets to be American

A consistent thing about Trumpists in power is how they want everyone else to believe that people only do things for money

The government’s own data and detentions like the ones we reported on in Chicago raise serious doubt about whether the Trump administration’s mission is to target “the worst of the worst” at all. New reporting from @msnbc.com. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

that last line

For people that whine about politicizing anything, they sure are shoving politicization down everyone's throat.

I mean really there’s no reason for anyone to have this person on their tv

I'm curious to see the map they'll come up with. Unfortunately, unlike Missouri and Kansas, there are no referendums or gubernatorial vetoes to get around. They can do this with a simple majority, and Stein isn't empowered to veto it, so swing district Republicans in the General Assembly can sit 1/

DHS agent wounded in active combat, from shots fired by other DHS agents who decided DHS agents were actually antifa. The genius of Kristi Noem.

Absolutely determined to destroy US higher education (and US exports)

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.”

So basically this is Iranian Hostage Crisis 2.0, just with a 9-month delay in the payoff for no particular reason.

Trump-loving coal miners not feeling—cough, cough—reciprocated love; the latest FAFO story from rural coal country is no surprise to anyone paying attention to #whiteruralrage: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/c...

As bad as Attorney General Pam Bondi's widely criticized performance before a Senate Oversight Committee appearance was last week, some underreported comments by Republican senators were even more alarming, wrote the New York Times' Frank Bruni.

UPDATE from @jodiscohen.bsky.social + @jsmithrichards.bsky.social: Following public outcry, the Department of Ed. has reversed its decision to cut funding for students who have both hearing and vision loss, opting instead to reroute grants to an org that will provide funding to these students.

“The UN estimates that 83 percent of all structures in Gaza City were damaged or destroyed, along with most of its crops and vegetation” www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It’s actually pretty bad for your mental health to know stuff

The Treasury Secretary declares himself to be pro-monarchy, and promises to punish the entire country if the people exercise their First Amendment rights.

BREAKING Hamas’s armed wing on Monday published a list of 20 surviving hostages held in Gaza who are expected to be freed as part of a deal reached with Israel. The hostages named by the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades are among 48 captives -- both living and deceased -- held by Palestinian militants

This is my family’s cemetery. Generations of us are here. DHS thugs attacked the workers who laid my father to rest and tend to his gravesite. i dont know whether to cry or yell. I hope these DHS thugs find no peace in this life and the next.

Trump take egg

The search on Mar-a-Lago happened in August 2022. Jack Smith was appointed Special Counsel in November 2022. Time, how does it work

Do not step to menswear guy. He is very good at this.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

“.. a nagging worry is beginning to grow louder on Wall Street: What if these kinds of collapses, capable of taking bonds from par to cents on the dollar in a matter of days or weeks, are not an aberration after all?” 👀 @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Murders per 100k residents: * Houston 19.0 * Dallas 16.6 * San Antonio 15.9 * Ft. Worth 10.8 * NYC 4.6

Per WSJ, the Trump regime and Bannon are bragging they’re “ruling Congress with an iron fist” and that it is “largely ceremonial” like the Russian Duma. Shameful. Not what the founders intended. 🇺🇸 @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The Texas Gravy Seals jokes embarrassed Hegseth.

It sure would suck if everyone showed up to the 10/18 protests in inflatables. Yep, would be downright terrible. Excuse me while I run to Spirit.

“They are highly organized … [they] have purchased their own animal costumes”

So Elon Musk using the language “only solution” when joining Marc Benioff in the call to send federal troops into the city of San Francisco. (Musk doesn’t live in SF. Some of his immigrant employees probably do.)

Current view outside the Broadview, around 50 or so people with lawn chairs, yoga mats sitting a listening to speeches from Jane Goodall.

A federal judge ordered federal agents last week to issue two warnings before using tear gas. Witnesses said they heard no warnings and none can be heard on videos, @chicago.suntimes.com reports

While I think ICE agents should face criminal charges for their kidnapping of immigrants, they should face long, and perhaps lifetime, prison sentences for anything like this involving kids. An ICE agent willing to do this is not someone who should be out among society even after Dems retake power.

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...

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m. The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom. While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop. The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Idiotic. When one party is attempting to radically overturn precedent and the lower courts affirm that precedent maybe just maintain the status quo and hold off overturning the lower courts until you've heard the arguments? Trump isn't "irreparably harmed" by delaying his radicalism by a few months.

Fact check: @propublica.org is an outstanding news organization that does fact based reporting. The work is credible, reliable, timely and without fear or favor. If you aren't already familiar with ProPublica, give it a read: www.propublica.org.

That screams for so much follow-up about why, then, they aren't leaving the status quo in place in these cases.

the thing is Shapiro's been a major target of right wing antisemitism for over a decade. he occasionally denounces it, even as it's been core to his business model through people like Owens and Walsh. (and he often defends right antisemitism from people like Gina Carano). 1

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

Everyone, I’m just <sniffs> I’m just so proud of us all. We finally did it. LibsOfTikTok finally targeted me. <single tear rolls down cheek> I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long <unfolds acceptance speech> and first I want to thank everyone who made it possible: Harambe, Kony2012, my fa
