"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

🚨🚨🚨 Hoo boy. It turns out the #FLORIDA Office of Insurance Regulation quietly published FINAL 2026 #ACA rate filings two months ago... ...and the marketwide average full-price premium hike is over 7 points HIGHER than I had estimated: +31.5%. 👀 acasignups.net/rate_changes...

Chris Murphy is one of the only Dems who gets that there is no budget “deal” to make. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

ICE "has been rapidly building out its surveillance capabilities in recent weeks, signing a string of contracts for technologies to identify individuals by their irises or facial features and to monitor their cellphone activity, social media posts and physical movements," per spending disclosures.

Sounds like it was pretty clear.

They said ICE would go after criminals. They are arresting cops.

Media is awesome because it can show an organization trying to get rid a guy who is underwater with state Democrats by 50 points, undermines any Democratic policy, and is just completely off-putting to anyone who has to spend five minutes around him; and they phrase it as “seeding discord”

“Put that on the news.” Fuck yes.

So Nazis. They want to give refugee status to Nazis. OK, maybe not JUST Nazis. Also certain other white people who hate non-white immigration. But Nazis can definitely come. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

No intelligence is general, as the term refers (indirectly & vaguely) to a cluster of distinct capabilities in a given active organism, which vary according to ecological niche, embodiment, cultural valuation and individual variation. We’d get better science by decomposing and testing for these. 3/3

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines. We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

This is the nation that we are now. This nation is unbelievably sick.

Is this a memorial event or a Comedy Central Roast?

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes. instagram.com/reel/DPzWnGCklvl

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Hey news people: I know you like to pretend this doesn't exist, but you need to pay attention to the Nazi drama on Twitter. Basically, it seems as if Elon just restored two major neo-Nazi accounts that were banned by his product head, and might be about to fire the product head for banning them

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

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...

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Manly men brutalize, terrorize a teen girl

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.

"there are fires all over the place" ~the president of the united states with absolutely zero clue what is going on

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

the defining image of the early 21st century is an agent of the state pointing a gun at a person, and a citizen pointing a smartphone camera back at them we see this scene reenacted every day, around the world

I wish insurance companies spent as much money lobbying for vaccinations as they did on lobbying to stop single-payer.

I didn't think "Scorched Earth Jimmy Kimmel" was in the realm of possibility. Yet here we are. I'm now a fan of someone I thought about less than once a year about two months ago.

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.   American citizens are being detained & brutalized.   This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

One thing about the current moment is that a lot of people who would probably call you hysterical if you said you didn't believe there would be a 2028 election are acting the way they might if they didn't believe there was going to be a 2028 election

There is no sense in which the Enabling Act of 1933 would have become an acceptable piece of legislation if it had included a carve-out requiring Hitler to stabilize out-of-pocket health care costs. Same goes for the Enabling Act of 2025. www.offmessage.net/p/the-end-of...

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

For example, the Dems should say "The government is shut down because Republicans are asking Democrats to provide bipartisan cover for a constitutional crime spree—something they can’t in good conscience do." Always read @brianbeutler.bsky.social .

Stephen Miller is portraying opposition to Donald Trump in any form, including by judges issuing legal rulings, as an illegal rebellion, Jonathan Chait argues:

Same thing happened in LA, same thing happened in DC: prosecutors charged people with assaulting a federal officer and then furiously backpedaled when the evidence didn’t support it

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

ICE ramming a civilian car, then shooting them. They claimed 10 cars surround the agents. Where are they? Happened in east garfield today Disclaimer: I am merely sharing what I have read about this incident.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

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

“California, and the country, cannot await the outcome of the midterms to repel Trump’s siege on democracy. More drastic action is required." Read @clarajeffery.bsky.social on how powerful states can fight back against Trumpism. After all, California has the 4th largest economy in the world.

It's bad enough if President Trump is demanding authoritarian powers in violation of the Constitution ... But if his unelected aides are manipulating him to get their own authoritarian policies in place, that's sort of a bigger deal.

if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera (and then prosecute them)

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

mostly agree, but also this:
