Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

If people could stop giving money to Trump for no fucking reason other than a vain attempt to curry favor with a fascist, I would really appreciate it. Yes, #Google and #YouTube, this means you.

Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are being arrested based on ‘how they look’

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I know #Disney and #ABC don’t care about my opinions, but unless they reverse the #JimmyKimmel decision in time to stop the Kirk retrospective, I will be canceling my subscriptions to #Disney+ and #Hulu and selling my meager stock.

Everything is censorship except actual censorship.

BREAKING: ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. Trump’s FCC chair earlier appeared on MAGA propagandist Benny Johnson’s show and threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcast license if they didn’t take action against him.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Great reporting; astounding corruption. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear… 📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

Mike Johnson calls for an “End to political violence.” I agree. Also, ICE raids are a form of political violence.

1. You may have heard of book bans before, but the new one in Alabama takes the cake. The Alabama Public Library Service has a new proposal that would ban—get this—only "positive depictions" of trans people. The hearing is next month. Public comment is open. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A panicked Trump asks for protesters to be removed from a DC restaurant tonight

Here is my resume, should you be inclined to take a look: edidin.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

During his first term, Trump launched so many failed "Infrastructure Weeks" that it became a running joke. Now he's taking credit for infrastructure projects he opposed. His whole life, Trump has taken credit for things he inherited — starting with his own personal fortune.

Trump gets booed at the US Open today.

Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.

Please don’t Rich Men North of Richmond this nice man but this is a hell of a protest song. youtu.be/xOAeiRQsA4k?...

“Jimenez Rosa, a legal permanent resident and mother of four U.S. citizens, was detained over what her lawyer believes was a decades-old, personal-use marijuana charge, which is no longer a crime in Massachusetts today… “I was just like, ‘Girls, we might never see your mother again in this country’”

Fox 17 Nashville reports that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from criminal detention in Tennessee and is on his way home to Maryland. “Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free,” his attorney, @sean-hecker.bsky.social, said in a statement. fox17.com/news/local/k...

The John Bolton raid really puts into perspective the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files. #BoltonRaid #EpsteinFiles

Since this came out I've been so bitterly amused by how *much* of my stuff is here. Folks have spent so much energy declaring my work inferior and me a "DEI hire"... but then they stole every book, story, and even interview to feed their plagiarism machines. And yeah, I'm adding my name.

Mr. Homan, all I have been trying to do is “come visit” your facility. You. Will. Not. Let. Me. Now that your lawyers have admitted in court that you’re abusing your detainees, please explain why you continue to lie to the American people.

I’m looking for 2-3 spooky or spoopy season TTRPG one shots for my October TTRPG charity streams to support Medical Aid for Palestinians. If you’d want to GM a game, reach out with game pitch pls Keep in mind, games will be scheduled on either a Monday or Wednesday evening.

Signal boost!

I sounded the alarm about UnitedHealth's attempt to purchase this home health giant years ago. This is another half-baked merger settlement by the Trump DOJ—this time at the expense of the most vulnerable. The public deserves to know if this deal is based on political favors.

Money is not “coming into the U.S.” from tariffs. Taxes are being collected from U.S. citizens! Begging people to learn how #tariffs work. #DonThwCon #ReverseRobinHood

I don’t like wasting money on frivolous vanity projects, but this is such a frivolous vanity project and is so ugly that we need to spend whatever is necessary in the next administration to root it up and out back the rose garden.

Once again, if there were actually "national security" (Section 232) or "national emergency" (IEEPA) reasons for tariffs, they wouldn't keep nventing reasons for truces & postponements. This is how you know the tariffs are wildly illegal, not only under WTO treat obligations, but also US law.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]

ICE just prevented me from entering an immigration detention facility in my district—a clear violation of federal law. Members of Congress have the right to immediately access these facilities. Listen here 👇

I’m not saying I buy into this conspiracy theory yet, but I will say that the right made much more hay out of much less. I know I should get over it but I will never not be bothered by the double standard.

NEW ANGLE Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage. But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
