I cannot express enough how bad it is for college students and recent grads right now. No jobs. Entire career paths disappearing. All b/c complicit politicians allowed a few rich criminals to destroy our country with impunity.

A father and his one-year-old daughter were pepper sprayed by US ICE agents in Chicago while on their way to go grocery shopping.

There was a similar thermostatic anti-287(g) backlash during Trump 1.0. On a local levels, non-cooperation policies have had enormous success in recent years. Unfortunately, that has also led to a backlash, with multiple GOP states *mandating* cooperation through new state laws.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Finished reading @juliagaffield.bsky.social 's biography of Jeans-Jaques Dessalines, one of the founding fathers of Haiti. The book is a story of what Dessalines did versus the way he has been sometimes inaccurately portrayed for political reasons as a bloodthirsty unthinking man unfit to rule. 1/

obviously you only sell almost $6 billion in stock when you're certain a company is going to get even more valuable

@support.bsky.team why has the author and scholar @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended? Her work is vitally important right now.

Hello @support.bsky.team why has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

Yo, @support.bsky.team, bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

“Despite his no vote, the entire political world knows this is a direct result of @schumer.senate.gov’s leadership … He either blessed this surrender, or was incapable of leading his caucus to hold the line.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I think all Democratic eight senators who caved to the GOP should have to read this to truly understand who they've hurt.

A state of emergency declared over the weekend after a massive fire in Amherst, Mass., has been rescinded, and the Red Cross is continuing to work to help find housing for over 200 UMass Amherst students displaced by the blaze. on.nbcboston.com/0J9WgVP

COMPLICITY NOT COWARDICE. COMPLICITY.

Would be a good time to pay attention to how primary candidates are reacting to this capitulation. I think a purity test in this instance is very needed.

We cannot let “haunted ICE agent regretfully explores his feelings/past/guilt” become a genre the way we did with every bad actor since the Confederates.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

the thing that upsets me about this the most is that Dems had all the momentum, republicans were reeling, and we were getting intra-GOP fighting over the filibuster, all while voters were blaming republicans for their incompetence this destroys all of this. just a total gut punch

Asking my Senators to vote for new leadership; either Chuck Schumer cannot whip votes, in which case he's useless, or he is fine giving up leverage for nothing, in which case he's worthless.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

God the number of times I have been through this with the same damned bus of clowns in the senate. They need to go.

She should have been senate leader all along.

Once again I am begging people to stop attributing this to cowardice. It's not.

They saw us tasting hope after Tuesday and they REALLY did not like that, huh

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons. "ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

On second review, this looks to be just smoke grenades / flashbang. Bovino has been carrying around a CS gas canister in his hand though, so not ruling out that gas was deployed elsewhere this morning—it's been incredibly chaotic, with agents attacking people in multiple locations.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

What's our blue supermajority trifecta doing to protect people from these violent, traumatizing kidnappings? 3 people could pass sweeping legislation to protect our residents -- Speaker Mariano, Sen Pres Spilka and Gov Healey. It would be enormously popular and help their re-elections too. #Mapoli

A friend recently texted me the same thing. “Do you really not use ChatGPT?!” It was a sign of where we are culturally on this. People are compelled to use it but also starting to question the normalcy?

Also Joe Biden.

The #Fitchburg Police Department is collaborating with ICE, using the familiar excuse that police officers are only doing crowd control and not actively assisting in arrests. #Massachusetts

Really important to understand this and also understand that it is not just Republicans who are complicit.

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.” That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.” @jessefelder.bsky.social $MSFT www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.
