Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

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.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

“This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that . . risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power—to the detriment of this nation.” — Trump-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut (Oct. 4, 2025).

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

BREAKING: our system of checks and balances

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

A great piece that hasn’t aged a day since 1941. Play the game the next time you’re in a room full of people. I’ve played it. I think for some people it’s almost a reflex. “Which one of you would call the Gestapo on me, and which would watch, relieved, as I was taken from my home in the night?”

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Please share: Federal law explicitly prohibits healthcare funds going to illegal immigrants. Don't let Republican liars get away w/saying otherwise. Only payments for emergency care are allowed, which keep hospitals from bankruptcy. 42 U.S.C. § 1396b(v)(1)–(3) www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Donald Trump and his lapdog Republicans just shut down the federal government after refusing to protect Americans from an imminent spike in health insurance costs. This is what the GOP stands for.

The generals are calling them “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” because of how badly they bombed.

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Trump is posting racist AI videos, saying ‘I don't need to deal with them’. JD Vance is lying about what Democrats are asking saying we want to fund healthcare for illegals, which is impossible and doesn’t happen.” Bad faith. #TrumpShutdown

100%

Diaper Diplomacy.

I guess pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but the same people who voted for DOGE and emptying the swamp and kicking out the fat cat elites, etc. are perfectly fine with a real estate developer using taxpayer money to slap gold on everything

Does someone want to tell the DUI hire that he can’t eliminate prosecution for war crimes?

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

The market for state violence against senior citizens and women is small. Much like how video from the front in Vietnam turned the public against the war, getting firsthand evidence of ICE is souring the public on Trump’s immigration policy. Nobody wants to live in Stephen Miller’s America.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

I honestly don’t care about James Comey. But I want to live in a democratic republic. His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

Halligan is too unqualified to know she may well get disbarred for this

Senator Tim Kaine considering the 120-day interim prosecutor rule: "I think the Comey attorneys have an awful lot of grounds to get this thing thrown out."

JD Vance, VPOTUS: "And I assert prima nocta on every newly purchased couch"

Hey Bessent, you say “Putin isn’t marching into Boston?” After 9/11, Europe & Ukraine (not even in NATO) marched with us, sending troops, bleeding, and dying in Afghanistan & Iraq. Over 1,000 allies never came home. Dismissing them now mocks their sacrifice. You should know that.

It's mind-boggling that JD is trying to get away with this silly scam. The fact that Trump/Carr *didn't succeed* in permanently ousting Kimmel doesn't mean they didn't bring corrupt government pressure on Disney/ABC toward that end. Carr celebrated Kimmel's removal! newrepublic.com/article/2008...

Hey JD Vance, not surprising, but utterly irresponsible for you to tweet this. The victims shot are the detainees. You have no idea yet who this was an attack on. But your aim is to stoke violence and division. Shame on you.

As I was saying…

-Perkins Coie (+ other firm that didn't back down). -Harvard (after momentary false start) -"Lower" fed judiciary. (Not Roger Taney "supreme" court.) -Local grand juries. -Govs like Pritzker and Newsom -WSJ and NYT, when sued. -Millions of protestors -Now Jimmy Kimmel. Our tapestry of resistance.

Addresses the incoherence and extreme disgrace of Trump's absurd talk today at the UN. I have seen various media notes that it didn't go well, but our media severely fails when it doesn't highlight how terrible this was for the global reputation of the US

Some of us do.

holy shit lol. What a weird thing to post ahead of a Kimmel show that will have a gargantuan audience.

NEWS: Trump seems to be implying he is going to sue ABC for bringing back Jimmy Kimmel. This is why you never bend the knee to a bully.

Deeply disturbed by how much time (and money) we are wasting by not being allowed to do proper science.

I'm just gonna keep reposting this inane BS from Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence on the roving immigration patrol case from LA.

it's important to make these companies more afraid of people with empathy and good sense than they are of weird fucking brigading authoritarian babies we outnumber these assholes by a wide margin

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

If you’re not already, pay attention to the names ERIK SIEBERT and LINDSEY HALLIGAN.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

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.

Violence is never justice. I condemn it without caveat. But condemning an act of violence does not mean canonizing the person who was killed. Compassion for the family does not mean sainthood for the father. Mourning does not mean whitewashing the movement he built. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

A pedophile at a 1st grade reading level is destroying America #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

This is so messed up.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.
