If you donate to Donald’s vanity construction project, then you, a private donor, may have your name etched into the stone of the new White House ballroom! So far, Google, tobacco company R.J. Reynolds, Booz Allen Hamilton, Palantir, and Lockheed Martin have all donated. trib.al/QxUO9q6

What the hell is happening? Trump just posting a fake video of himself promising every America access to a medical technology that doesn't exist. Did Trump see this AI video of himself and think it was real? Does he know this is not him? Does he not remember what announcements he films?

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

🔥 RICHARD MASSEY: “No one here in MEMPHIS asked for military occupation… this is not a war on crime, it’s a war on the working class… we know better than to sign off on our city becoming a blueprint for authoritarianism.”

Medbeds regrow limbs but cannot heal hand bruises.

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

This was 10 days ago…

Americans know our economy is rigged. Billionaires become richer while working people can’t afford health care, housing & food.   If Trump wants my vote to fund the government, he must not raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million people or throw millions off health care.

Journalism is not a crime. My friend Steve has done critically important work here in Chicago and we must stand up for the First Amendment and the public’s right to know.

NORTH CAROLINA… “someone on a boat coming up Cape Fear opened fire on the American Fish Company, an outdoor bar venue… The boat then proceeded up the Intracoastal Waterway…” Every damn day. 🇺🇸 abcnews.go.com/US/3-dead-8-...

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

Here’s a video from today of press and a legal observer being specifically targeted.

There’s been a lot of talk about autism from powerful government figures and the media. Let’s help young Coloradans with autism achieve their dreams through coaching, therapy, and social connections. I’ll match fifty $5 donations to REVEL: www.coloradogives.org/story/3s7h9f...

NEW — Video posted to social media shows Unraveled Press co-founder Steve Held being detained by federal agents outside the Broadview immigration facility earlier this evening. A collection of Chicago newsrooms is calling for his immediate release. thetriibe.com/2025/09/chic...

Portland ICE Facility: Federal agents made a violent arrest dragging a protester all the way across the driveway. They also deployed pepper balls on the crowd. It’s currently unclear why this person was arrested.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

I reviewed the court transcript. It’s true that only 14 grand jurors voted in favor of the Comey indictment, but the total number of grand jurors who voted is not specified. The minimum number required for a quorum is 16; the maximum is 23.

If he is really worried about democracy, he could tell all of us what Donald Trump whispered in his ear before he jumped.

Who else has always wanted to know what Trump said to Kennedy on their way out of Kavanaugh’s swearing-in that made Kennedy stop short and wag his finger at Trump, only for Trump to be all “let’s continue this off-camera”?

Justice Anthony Kennedy tells @npr.org's @ninatotenberg.bsky.social "very worried" about our country, and that "Democracy is not guaranteed to survive." Kennedy wrote Citizens United and was the fifth vote in the rest of the Roberts Court's anti-democratic decisions. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

SAD!!

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Suddenly: tremendous amount of gas and pepper balls fill the road. People running, canisters exploding.

Lots of surveillance tonight as well. Two new video surveillance trailers over Beach Street, a drone, and a helicopter.

We've been ordered out of the street again. Crowd chanting "quit your job!" at the feds.

Feds just arrested a reporter at the ICE facility outside Chicago

Just joined @tinakotek.bsky.social, Mayor Keith Wilson, @repbonamici.bsky.social, and my state, local, and federal colleagues to speak out against Trump sending federal troops to Oregon. We don't need them, and we don't want them. Hear more:

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Due to a loophole in Georgia law, state officials have the power to nullify some elections that have already happened. Critics are slamming what they call a “dystopian” rule.

ICYMI on Tuesday: California was on track to pass a law that'd bring a path out of prison for some survivors of domestic violence convicted of harming their abuser. But the bill ended up dying in the state Senate as the session drew to a close this summer. What happened?

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

DOGE’s effects are even worse than we initially realized. Months after Elon Musk departed, Social Security is suffering extensive damage, with the cuts hitting local field offices the hardest. trib.al/6qZ5Zx0

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

So much has gone wrong in US press reporting on Trump because the White House reporters are people who have exclusively covered US politics. They need people who have worked in Hungary, Turkey, etc. The relevant knowledge isn't Reagan factoids; it's the dynamics of competitive authoritarianism.

So top Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict. They said agents were firing pepper balls unprovoked and "without any apparent warning" When a Portland chief called a federal agent w/ Qs, the agent hung up. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

I am so goddamned sick of having to think about these people.

What also baffles me is that Democratic Party is ~30 points underwater in favorability & Zohran Mamdani is ~16 points above water in favorability. The Dem Party establishment, who is responsible for the abysmal rating, is too arrogant to support the guy ~50 points ahead of them. Incredible.

Asking again to please report this impersonator who has created yet another fake Franklin Leonard account. bsky.app/profile/fran...
