Be sure your sound is on. Perfection.

A message from the Mayor of Portland.

This is the POS Nazi ICE Agent who threw a woman to the floor at the NYC Immigration Office in front of her young daughter y grabbing her by the hair and slamming her to the ground.

50 masked bastards rolling through downtown on a beautiful Sunday to snatch a handful of street vendors

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

With all the chaos coming out of the regime, I can’t stop thinking that the country is like in an abusive relationship. It’s when you try to leave it that the abuser becomes the most dangerous.

Packed Federal Fallout pod out this morning First a shutdown showdown but will there actually be one this time? Then GOP polls in Virginia that still show Spanberger up Finally New Jersey looks closer so will it get most of the attention in the home stretch? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

This is so f*cked up. The Trump admin illegally leaked unredacted records containing personal information to win the NJ gubernatorial election. If Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s records aren’t safe, NO veterans’ are. Please help @mikiesherrill.bsky.social win this!

Why Fascists Fear Teachers is officially a NYT Best Seller. Thank you to everyone reading this book. It’s both a warning about the life we can lose and a testament to the teachers trying to help young people and their families have a good life.

Re: today's march in Chicago at 1 pm at 50 W Washington: I have seen some people posting complaints about this march that don't make sense, and I want to respond. First, some people complain that folks should take action in affected communities. They are. It's called rapid response. (Thread.)

This is such a nuanced and big-hearted piece on the evolution of autism as a diagnosis, by an anthropologist of mental health who is also the dad of a now-grown daughter on the spectrum. Great reading (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

ProPublica identified 155 counties in the Deep South with private schools that opened as likely segregation academies. One in Amite County, Mississippi, has never — over nearly 30 years of surveys — reported enrolling more than one Black student. (Published Dec. 2024)

This story is awful. It's important to note that it was local broadcast news that brought it to our attention. We give local news a lot of shit but the affiliates are consistently outperforming the networks on this issue.

Estas alegaciones ridículas sobre el voto no ciudadano se están utilizando para justificar políticas electorales restrictivas. Todo esto se combina para desacreditar nuestras elecciones y debilitar la confianza del público en los resultados. #BrennanEnEspañol bit.ly/4gEwk7G

Do we have an ETA for the rapture? Wondering if it’ll be before or after lunch. And does anyone know if there’s. Dress code?

So is Jimmy Kimmel's return tomorrow connected with the imminent Rapture? Is his second coming His Second Coming? Stay tuned! We'll be right back after these important messages!

“Now, let me bring it home for you. In 1991, I was elected to the Senate of Virginia, only the second Black woman ever to do so...I have waited a long, long time...to see us elect a woman governor in Virginia…It’s PAST time!" - VA Sen. Louise Lucas bluevirginia.us/2025/09/vide...

So to be clear, the judge is not striking the complaint down because Trump has not made a claim. He is striking it down because it is incredibly long and argumentative.

SOON: Republicans will vote to shut down our government instead of passing something simple to prevent your premiums from SKYROCKETING. Here’s what’s going on and why you’re likely to have way higher health care costs next year:

Having been dropped by a major media corporation 2 years ago, I can relate to what Jimmy Kimmel is going through. I can also share the news that since becoming independent, I have a bigger audience than ever before. It turns out people want to listen to uncensored voices. Oh, and fuck Disney/ABC.

“I’m adding the obviously very real boogeyman to the terror watch list.” This timeline sucks.

The DOJ recently deleted this study, that showed that it is most likely people on the far right, that will commit acts of domestic terrorism. Make sure to spread this around; to prevent this data from being silenced! archive.md/cBfwR

TWICE AS DEAD is out! Dead trees, Kindle, audiobook. It's a noirish urban fantasy set in postwar Los Angeles, with a hard-drinking private eye, vampires, zombies, corrupt cops, the Central Avenue jazz scene, and a smartass talking cat. www.amazon.com/Twice-as-Dea...

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

YOU MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH AT ME! I'M SUING YOU FOR 15 BILLION DOLLARS!

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Charlie Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden in 2023.

Early Vote Starts in Virginia - September 19 - Our theme this year is VOTE TOGETHER! Organize voter parties, lunch with friends then vote, take your young ones to the polls - do it for democracy.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

This is ofc a far greater attack on free speech than Kimmel going off the air

The response to Trump’s dictatorial crusade to crush political opponents cannot be defensive or timid. The imbalance between micro-responses liberals too often confuse for effective political action and the enormity of the threat is deeply disturbing. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

I can‘t believe people are getting so mad about @angryblacklady.bsky.social saying that you shouldn’t register for a protest. Just show up. Don‘t register.

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together. Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.
