Eyewitnesses in Charleston, North Charleston, and Ladson have reported an increase in federal immigration enforcement along roads and highways this week. We are working to confirm reports of more widespread ICE activity elsewhere in the state. We’re here to remind you of your rights. (1/5)

AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats. "They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services" apnews.com/article/trum...

I’m not sure which is the worst part of ADHD, this or time blindness, but oof, yeah:

This vending machine has the best tourist warning ever. Also love that there was a vending machine for this randomly on the street.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

I have absolutely no interest in middle ground or compromise on any human rights, for roughly the same reasons that I have absolutely no interest in allowing a leopard to eat only *part* of my face.

The judges are ON FIRE today! Ellis in Chicago, McConnell reading the riot act on SNAP, and Sandwich Guy beat the (w)rap.

Major props to Judge Ellis for calling out the ICE brigade on their unconstitutional and sadistic behavior.

There needs to be a special higher level of not guilty for cases like this. Like, we the jury find the government owes the defendant and every member of the jury an all-expenses paid weekend in Cabo for even making us come in here.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

UPDATE: U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said she will issue a sweeping injunction limiting the use of force by federal immigration agents in the Chicago area after she found a litany of violations were committed in recent weeks.

Boston folks, this is happening at 6pm this evening.

Ellis rules that the Trump administration impermissibly prevented the free exercise of religion, in violation of the First Amendment. Those engaged in prayer have been shot, without warning, with pepper balls and tear gas, Ellis says.

Here's a bright spot in this awful day: Judge Sara Ellis is opening up a can of whoopass on the feds. Good thread!

A reminder that Ross Douthat believes in fairies. Earnestly. He doesn't think you should take their name in vain. He's not a person who needs to be taken seriously.

Mamdani’s transition team is all women. That tells you everything about who believes in progress and who wants to reset the clock to white male dominance like it’s still 1930.

I wonder how all the women reporters and editors at the Times feel about this headline.

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

A lot of nyt folks, me among them, believed we could change the culture and the coverage from the inside. That by working within channels, we could convince the leadership of its obligation to cover trans ppl fairly. In hindsight I’ve come to think I was naive.

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

Border Patrol is out and about in Little Village this morning.

Imagining if RBG had stepped down earlier or if Biden had stepped down earlier or if any of these people were capable of dignified exits that didn’t taint their legacies and look like narcissistic power addicted death grips. Please god let this be the beginning of people seeing writing on the wall.

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Literally, this is what the Douthat thing at the @nytimes.com says. I read as much as I could before my blood pressure went into the red zone.

Two parents were on their way to a Hawaii vacation from Newark last weekend and were taken with their 3-year-old daughter, who is a US citizen. They're not showing up in any ICE or CBP system. They've just disappeared. It's the ones that aren't on video that really scare me. bsky.app/profile/bena...

Text from a friend:

I assume this guy is facing sexual harassment allegations and looking for a scapegoat.

Douthat is a fool, but who was the @nytimes.com editor who commissioned or approved this and why are they working there? Did they lose their job at the Anti-Suffrage Gazette? Were there layoffs at the buggy whip factory? Or is it a refugee from Project 2025's campaign to take away our checkbooks?

It's 7:45 a.m. and I am incandescent with rage. Has @nytimes.com thought about an opinion piece on whether MEN ruined the workplace? Because I could tell them some stories! I know this is supposed to be cute and witty but it just sucks, their timing is wrong, and I'm sick of it

November is Native American month, so I put together a list of nine graphic novels by Native creators to start reading now @slj.com www.slj.com/story/9-cont...

If only Gorsuch had that realization roughly about the time he thought presidents should have immunity from everything. #SheShed

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

LUCE has set up a GoFundMe for the families of the Allston carwash workers abducted by masked men claiming to work for the government www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

I hope Judge Ellis gets to see this!

Insane. Inexcusable. Illegal. And the new normal in Trump’s America.

The assault took place on Friday October 31, 2025. The footage is credited to Laura Rodríguez Presa of the Chicago Tribune. The full story is below 👇

They HIT HER CAR and then abducted her. She's a U.S. citizen and it's clear from the video that while of course she resisted - these guys are terrifying - she couldn't possibly have injured any officers. Most important, they had no business abducting her in the first place. This needs to stop.

Remember kids: Voter ID does absolutely nothing to secure elections. ID fraud exists. Is someone falsified documents to register to vote, they can use those same documents to obtain photo ID.
