University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme. dailyillini.com/news-stories...

This is heartbreaking and it's still happening. Remove the entire trump administration now.

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying. Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/l...

The senators had argued Blanche’s shutdown of crypto investigations would help support drug trafficking, child exploitation and scams. Now, they say their fears have been realized: Illicit crypto activities surged in 2025, a study found.

The wine and liquor industry, in conjunction with the restaurant industry, has been stuffing money into politicians pockets so that they would set policies pushing the bullshit *studies* saying *moderate* drinking is good for you. No amount of alcohol is *good* for you.

They combed through files and are dumping millions of pages they vetted to make sure there was no mention of Trump. They know the media can’t resist.

Oh FFS

Our entire political discourse is essentially cosplay

For example, if your approach is "Trump hates immigrants, so the party should be about open borders and never enforcing immigration laws," you're playing Trump's game. Don't let Trump bait you into defending things that most voters wouldn't defend. That's part of the strategy. /6

SCOOP: Nursing home companies donated $4.8M to Trump's super PAC in Aug-Sept. Their executives landed a lunch in Aug. with Trump at his NoVa golf club where they asked him to revoke a rule to increase staffing to prevent patient neglect. His administration revoked the rule a few months later.

As a libertarian, I think it’s important that Americans understand that if they just do what the government says, they won’t get shot.

I have been waiting for this signal from Senator Rand Paul. Senator Paul, Chairman of Senate Homeland Security Committee follows House committee. Sends letters to heads of ICE, CBP, USCIS to testify in public hearing.

Agree with his politics or not, but Mamdani is the best practicing politician in the country right now.

Once you let thugs get control of government agencies and institutions it’s very difficult to get rid of them. We have a short window.

Someone tell Brady to stop talking

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

People like Joel Berry are absolutely enraged right now. They perceive the rightness of the surge of anger against Trumpism and the decency and righteousness of people like Alex Pretti. They cannot endure those things, because they know they are petty, grubby, immoral, and sordid in comparison.

@stephengutowski.bsky.social @radiofreetom.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social This guy spent his life in service to our veterans. We can’t let his death be meaningless.

The NRA is a gun rights organization the way the Ku Klux Klan is a speech rights organization.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Don’t let Alex Pretti and Renee Good die for nothing

In 1775 a lot of people were unhappy with the King but they weren’t necessarily ready to commit treason. That changed when the King’s troops started shooting their neighbors, stealing food, and raping women.

This didn’t happen in a vacuum. We voted for this.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

The gun was removed by agents from his waistband - he was never pointing it at them. He was already disarmed when they fired "defensive shots," killing the man. They then fired several shots at his lifeless body.

This is the French system, and it makes a lot of sense. It lets people blow off steam in the first round and then sober up in the second round.

It's a Jack Smith fight. And the GOP shitheels showed up with a Jim Jordan.
