Trump flunkie Todd Blanche says it's a crime for states to hold violent ICE thugs responsible for their crimes. He is wrong.

Troops being paid by a private entity makes them a private army.

The Republican Party wants to shred the Constitution. And the Supreme Court will gladly go along with it.

Federal agents tear gassing the Lake View neighborhood.

Mamdani: "But there is one thing that I will change: I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light."

A Jewish-American journalist was attacked by Israeli settlers nearly a week ago, and Senate Democrats Chuck Schumer (party leader) and Kirsten Gillibrand (DSCC leader), and Rep. Dan Goldman have apparently completely ignored him:

Mamdani: "I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of NYC. I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after 9/11 because she did not feel safe in a hijab. I want to speak for the Muslims who work for our city ... only to see their leaders spit in their face."

Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokeswoman, said ICE is not targeting kids. But as so often, she is lying. More on Joel, and ICE’s crackdown on kids here:

"These are modern day slave catchers. Call them for what they are. Stop giving them a pass. Make people understand the depth of what's going on in our community, because everybody has to protect everybody."

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

The Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help facilitate the construction of a sprawling network of migrant detention centers across the US in an arrangement aimed at getting the centers built faster. https://cnn.it/4oDFP9W

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.

If Congress could do or say literally anything about this at all, that would be cool!

New poll: UNH finds that November’s ballot measure in Maine that would greatly restrict mail voting, and impose voter ID, is *very* tight. It’s 49% no, 48% yes. scholars.unh.edu/survey_cente... One of the most suspenseful elections on November 4.

One year ago today, just before dawn, preparing for my first interview as a candidate for Mayor of New York City. What we have built together over these past 12 months is nothing short of extraordinary. 12 more days to bring it home.

Every imagined threat about socialism is modeled after real things that happened under capitalism

California is readying a one-time 5% tax on billionaires for the 2026 ballot that would go toward compensating for Trump's Medicaid cuts. The architects see it as a national model. It will be announced today.

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Protesters have blocked the westbound side of Canal. They are chanting "ICE out of New York now!" and "Liberation, not deportation!"

🧵 This scene from Bridgeview was just captured on TikTok from multiple angles— An Uber driver picked up a passenger & was immediately surrounded by ICE SRT agents. She says they almost rammed her off the road. One of them approaches with a shield. They point weapons at her and grab her passenger.

🔴 REPORT | 11 Days After Ceasefire Declaration Only 520 Trucks of Food Have Entered Gaza: WFP 🔑 Gaza Aid Assessment: 🇺🇳 World Food Program says aid deliveries into Gaza are increasing but remain far below target, with just two crossings open. No crossings are open into the famine-hit north, and...

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Q: We've heard things like Dems want money for civic engagement in Zimbabwe, millions for LGBTQ grants in Balkans. You say this is about healthcare but how do these pet projects fit in? JEFFRIES: We have no idea what you're talking about or what Republican extremist fed you those talking points

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Primaries are there for a reason. I'm not interested in "vote Blue no matter who" especially as its given us people like Fetterman. Push to make Democratic candidates better or replace them. And with that, I think its time to drop Platner.

There's a lesson to be learned here in that a lot of people looked at Mamdani and Platner and decided that the latter was a "young authentic candidate" and the former was not for reasons they insist are not racist

Trump just murdered some more people, this time on the Pacific side of South America

I'm no public opinion understander, but seems like there's a need for greater push back on the Trump administration's bogus narratives for these lawless strikes. First and foremost, despite the admin's falsehoods, these strikes are not about stopping the trafficking of fentanyl into the US.

This is from the Washington Times. The reason he is trying to arm up ICE and DHS is because the military won't do his bidding to take over cities

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

I think once Mamdani is formally the winner of this race people will be more willing to admit it, but the truth is that the real issue isn't the lack of endorsement from Schumer and Jeffries, it's that Schumers, Jeffries, and everyone else has made racially charged unfulfillable demands of Mamdani.

🚨 Only 986 Aid Trucks Enter Gaza Since Ceasefire Began 11 Days Ago Gaza’s Government Media Office says just 986 trucks of aid have entered since the ceasefire took effect on October 10— far below the 6,600 (600 trucks x 11 days) agreed upon. Only 14 trucks carried cooking gas and 28 diesel for...

y’all I’m going to be real, the workers at the biggest music venues in DC are trying to unionize we need IMP the parent company to recognize voluntarily that won’t happen without noise please, bluesky, do what u do best @930club.bsky.social @theatlantisdc.bsky.social @theanthemdc.bsky.social

For days, I’ve been talking to a woman whose loved one has disappeared into ICE system. The torture of not knowing where this person is and what’s going to happen to them - it reminds me of covering the parents searching for the bodies of their missing kids in Mexico. No answers. No good answers.

Public reporting, which JPMC has not disputed, shows that executives including the head of JPMC’s private bank for the ultra-wealthy, were warned repeatedly about Epstein but kept him on as a client.

video stores aren't "good," but going out and engaging with the world is good, while staying home half-watching the latest garbage the Netflix algorithm shoved at you while scrolling through your Insta feed is a form of cultural and spiritual malnourishment encouraged by corporate psychopaths

1. ICE has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal gov't data by Popular Information. Records reveal ICE has increased spending on “small arms" — a category that includes guns, armor, chemical weapons, and explosives — by 700% compared to 2024 levels

everyone: we don’t want kings rightwing media: this is a confusing protest line, no one is claiming trump is a king the entire trump administration:

Vibe shift in the culture towards earnestness

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

1. Yesterday, millions showed up to the No Kings Rally. Perhaps no one Rally was as full of subtext as Boston's, however. Senator Markey showed up wearing a trans pride flag. His challenger, anti-trans Dem Rep. Seth Moulton showed up to boos and jeers. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

This is wild if you know anything about the Villages, lol

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.
