Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after. Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet: In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property. “Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

Democrats would rather feed a 1000 people and not care if one person doesn't need it. Republicans would rather starve 1000 people just in case one person doesn't need it.

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

“Just the day before he was detained, Ya’akub had recorded and participated in a city council meeting in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, where he spoke out in support of local community leader Marwan Marouf who was detained by ICE, according to a court filing from his legal team last week.”

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari of Arizona’s 3rd District describes the “horrific conditions” she witnessed inside the Eloy ICE Detention Center near Phoenix — including a leukemia patient “vomiting blood,” detained in February and forced to wait eight months before finally seeing an oncologist...

Trump upgraded the food for convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell while fighting in court for the ability to starve poor children on SNAP food assistance www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

None of this justifies your choice to not vote last November.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

BREAKING: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is illegally closing 13 campus buildings (including ~100 laboratories). Report coming from GESTA, the Goddard employee union

Zohran gives me hope. The results tonight give me hope. It won’t be easy but now the fight for 26 begins. I’m determined to feel this way again in a year.

Hi, I'm God and I have called the NYC race for Zohran Mamdani. Hey corporate assholes, go fuck yourselves.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

WATCH: “This viral chart about who uses SNAP is a complete lie 🤥 - 35% go to white people, the largest share… 90% are 🇺🇸-born citizens… 70% work full time, meaning it’s subsidizing corporations that don’t pay workers a living wage… 86% of SNAP households have children…”

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

Pretty much nothing that he has done since taking office is ok.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

If we’re doing third terms now - I say let’s fucking go!

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

A new Harvard study shows that 2025 protests are likely the most geographically widespread in US history.

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

This is the third death that I'm aware of this year where a person died trying to flee from ICE.

MAHA’s out here all smug with their lies about vaccines and sat fats while the same administration cuts nutrition benefits for children. Talk to me about removing food dyes when every kid in the U.S. has enough to eat. We are the richest country in dollars and the poorest in humanity.

Anthony Boyd's execution last night was the longest nitrogen suffocation execution in the method’s history, writes journalist Lee Hedgepeth, who witnessed it.

worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries we’re not rolling back anything in US history here, we’re rolling back the English Civil War

This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” By @andykroll.bsky.social, with @newyorker.com

And there you have it. These strikes are clearly not legal. Pete will push commanders aside until he finds one who won’t question these extrajudicial killings. #SOUTHCOM

Citizens, crying kids, pregnant women, people who aren't the target...it doesn't seem to matter who's inside the car when immigration officers want to make an arrest. They smash the window anyway @mckenziefunk.com & I tracked these arrests all over the U.S. projects.propublica.org/trump-ice-sm...

“.. POLITICO obtained an image taken during a virtual meeting that shows the flag pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, one of Taylor’s staffers.” @politico.com #OH02 www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

“This heckin’ pupperino fucking hates La Migra,” to paraphrase from @weratedogs.com

Did Republicans give Biden and the Democrats credit for freeing more than 100 Israeli hostages? No? Yeah, thought so. Israel is playing Trump and MAGA right now. The entire world knows it except Trump and MAGA.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Incredible. Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Charlie kirk gets killed by a white man, HBCUs get bomb threats. White man shoots up a white church, people talk negatively about the Black Panthers. People get mad about alleged latin american drug cartels, a predominately Black apartment complex gets raided at 2 am I'm seeing a trend
