Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago. ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social

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

I'm excited to share this news: our org has acquired CiviCO, a nonprofit focused on strengthening the civic fabric and leadership in Colorado. Excited for the future and the positive social impact our combined organizations can have in colorado. more at omni.org/civico

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

He’s trying to provoke a war.

wrote this line yesterday: "If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not. “Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

If I were Dems, my main budget opposition talking point would be: Until this lawless President hires back federal employees & restores Congressionally approriated funding, I won't pretend this budget even matters. Republicans can enable him if they want to by ending filibuster & voting for it.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Millions of veterans got this email from the official VA account with a blatant political smear and lie about the government shutdown yesterday. This is a massive violation of the law and federal regulations using our government resources for political actions.

I am so tired of this absurd notion that Republicans have no agency: they are not just full grown adults, they control President & House & Senate & Supreme Court & Corporate Media, but continue to demand & receive no accountability for any action, it is insane & dangerous.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social Dems in Disarray.

Seriously, why are things never framed as gambles for Republicans? They're not gambling here? They're not willing to make any concession and willing to fund a rogue president's government. Seems like not doing ANYTHING to bring any Democratic votes to the table is a "Big Shutdown Gamble"

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

There used to be a sort of social contract that the PMC classes had with red states that has been completely ripped apart and I honestly don't know how that's going to feed into housing market growth and corporate relocations.

Photojournalist hospitalized after chaotic incident with ICE agents at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC

this conversation with @chrislhayes.bsky.social and @trymainelee.bsky.social about his new book is truly remarkable and powerful. So worth your time to listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

This is who Chuck Schumer thought he was going to negotiate with I am sick of Democratic leaders who have no idea the level of danger this country is in and how far we have fallen from the democracy we had just 12 years ago

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

I hope the Hakeem Jeffries love letter to Eric Adams is the final straw that inspires someone - anyone - to primary him. You don't even need to beat him. Just putting a scare into him would send a signal that Democratic voters are sick and tired of fecklessness as usual.

Eric Adams to join Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

Lots of excellent reporting and writing in the NYT today. Will post some, but I’m out of gift links. First, and most importantly, the great Nikole Hannah-Jones on the lived experience of Black and queer people in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

I wonder how many people fully appreciate that Trump just falsely declared the blue state of Oregon to be in a state of Rebellion against the United States so he could deploy active-duty military from the Department of War to kill American citizens Meanwhile, he *pardoned* the January 6 terrorists

It's not really if at this point, but when will american civilians be killed on american streets by american milirary. And clearly Democrats are the ones who still need to tone down their violent rhetoric.

Media: “With a September 30th deadline looming, and Republican control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency, how will the out of power Democrats handle blowback from shutting down the government.”

What a stupid petty vindictive child. www.boston.com/news/politic...

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Our firm’s latest research report: outcomes from the Boulder, CO guaranteed income project!

Friday we found out a White House official literally took a bag of cash as a bribe, and that the White House pressured DOJ to cover it up and we’ve basically already moved on from it because MORE BATSHIT STUFF HAS ALREADY HAPPENED SINCE THEN!

Media: “Republican use of terms like ‘war’ and ‘soldiers’ and accusing Democrats of killing Kirk highlights the tightrope Democrats walk in tamping down violent rhetoric.”

This is the most sobering post of the day. Aaron is absolutely right. This is the most brazenly corrupt, authoritarian regime the U.S. has probably ever seen. It is a test we cannot fail to rise to. Trump must be (legally) removed from office. Congress must act.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

I don’t know how ICE agents sleep at night, but this right here is absolutely heartless! They detained two parents and their 22-year-old son outside Chicago while the family was on their way to celebrate their 10-year-old’s birthday.

Shocking news of the weekend: man who is a horrible person in public, and appointed to do horrible things in public by another horrible man in public, is in fact, also a horrible person in private.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

This is such a great optimistic story. And different than anything you’ll ever hear in the media. Please, more positive shows that don’t play on stereotypes podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

ILLINOIS — Trump’s Gestapo violently throws female congressional candidate @KatAbughazaleh to the ground to the ground

Media, please stop framing the Kimmel story as “because of comment he made about Kirk”. Trump literally said he’d be suspended months ago and his suspension is because Kimmel makes jokes about the fragile and incoherent orange-man.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.
