Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.

@ilyasdogru.bsky.social: “It took Denmark approximately 30 months to go from a 20% share of electric cars to 60%, while this period took longer for Norway.” ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #alwaysbecharging

The specific provision is section 2 of the Calling Forth Act of 1792: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/... For more background on the judicial review provision, and on how President Washington expressly relied upon it in putting down the Whiskey Rebellion, see: www.yalelawjournal.org/pdf/427_pa9s...

The Dawit Isaak Library in Malmö is releasing a special edition of Orwell’s 1984. The book cannot be read, on account of having two spines. The “double bind” is a protest against censorship across the world: malmo.se/boundbookspr...

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

My worst fear is that we have barely scratched the surface of what ICE has been doing.

Another fantastic message being shared today on I-78 in Hunterdon County NJ @rbhubbell.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @onenj7.bsky.social @indivisiblelnh.bsky.social @nj50501.bsky.social @chiefrq.bsky.social @pegrace.bsky.social @maureenpanzera.bsky.social @njgram.bsky.social @atnj.org

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism. 🧵

Yes, clearly established law says you cannot spray people in the face while they are standing in front of you, speaking to you, unambiguously engaging in protected 1A activities

This is the @economist.com reporting on ICE in Chicago.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov unfortunately at some point you have to pick a side

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

JD Vance’s post is grade A misogynoir He’s functionally saying she’s an ungrateful, uppity N word

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away. A completely needless tragedy.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

Chicago's 40th Ward in effect. Line down the block for community defense training with Alderman Vazquez.

I think what Anna is saying is that we need to be asking for the legal basis when none is given.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

okay how about writing it on a cake instead?

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

I…this perfume launched in 1977.

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons? This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

Free Eman!!! @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social shame on you @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Four more people were killed this morning. To repeat: - If it can happen at sea, it can happen anywhere - Trump has offered no definition or limiting principle for who can be labeled a "terrorist" and summarily killed - And no plausible legal theory for why an armed conflict exists

Agencies under the control of @govpritzker.illinois.gov detained a UChicago Professor today

These fascists have taken my friend, Palestinian scholar and feminist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social into custody.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

An organizer friend says, repeatedly, that if it weren’t for Black women leaders there’d be no organizing. The church, naacp, D9 teach them how to organize, from the ground up in many cases. That and Heritage about the other massive training infrastructures left.

I’m so angry. Eman here is correct—is this really the way they want to spend their lives, in the service of a fascist state?

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

what? this is the coolest thing i've seen all week!

Worry about the illegal fence DHS put up, rather than trying to pen in protesters further. Don't claim to oppose Trump's fascism when you're playing these games. It's unacceptable.

This Chicago raid will be in the history books - except if this becomes the new normal. This is wrong and illegal.

Health insurance rates aren’t released in December, they’re released this month. We have to deal with this now or a lot more people are going to be priced out of health insurance.

Antisemitism is real and vile and must be fought. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

This was a piece I wrote about when I knew the world would move on from his brutal murder. One of the most chilling moments I’ve experienced in my career was at a Time Magazine party, “honoring” Jamal. wapo.st/3WjFi0A

This is extortion. Faculty, students, staff, alumni across the country need to get to their Presidents & Trustees today. Just say no. This blackmail only works if most everyone folds. Capitulation now means the end of American higher education for a generation. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

am i the only person who cares about housing prices? is this like a niche political interest or something?

If you don't understand how I can call this an act of heroics or resistance, it's worth thinking about whether the judge is likely to face death threats, or efforts to have them removed from the bench, or harassment from various state agencies, because of his political words and actions.

The fucking header of a legal judgement before the style of cause has me over here weeping. Fuck this fucking timeline

something something imperial boomerang horseshoe theory i don't even know anymore

I'm sorry it's insane that a Muslim man is on the view explaining why he's a democratic socialist and everyone is smiles and clapping. We are going to win.

Like Scandinavian...but brown.

I CAN'T HANDLE IT / i am melting / i have Tumblr-style reactions to this / please do not fumble this man NYC
