Zohran Mamdani calling it a genocide on The View and getting applause.

First episode I learned Mussolini used the language of socialists/identified as a socialist to gain popularity for Fasci Italiani di Combattimento, a disgruntled veterans club turned violent cult. When they lost an election, they rebranded as the Natl Fascist Party and unleashed violence.

Era of the abuser

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community. thetriibe.com/2025/09/feds...

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

Pretty clear this country is dealing with a rise of abusers all over. In the govt, the home, the workplace, the media, our movements…just saturated with abusers who couldn’t ever win thru competence before. We all talk about them, but they remain where they are because they use weapons we won’t.

They annihilated journalists covering the genocide in Gaza and the world powers didn’t do anything, that treatment is coming to everywhere fascists rule.

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here. The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration. How? 1/

Over a two-year period, prosecutors across 16 states charged more than 400 people with pregnancy-related crimes, with most of the charges originating in states with near or total abortion bans, according to a new report released Tuesday.

Get the masks and boots out, Chicago. It’s time to kick some robots off our sidewalks.

I hate this so much. It is inhumane, unnecessary and cruel. Better put a stop to this, J.B. Pritzker

“Get out your cell phone record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media peacefully. Ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won’t stand for it.” -JB Pritzker

The administration twisted science last week to claim that Tylenol is unsafe in pregnancy—and news also broke that the FDA is conducting a "review" of the abortion pill mifepristone. These moves are related in more ways than one and women and pregnant people will pay the price. Me in @msnbc.com:

The nonprofits I’m a part of are seeing ~20% increases to employer sponsored healthcare plans next year. Along with the admin attacks on ‘antifa orgs’, the safety net provided by nonprofit services will start disappearing must faster.

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

To be clear: I already believe that the Roberts court lacks legitimacy, and that enough members of the court have engaged in open corruption that none of its opinions should be given precedential authority.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

If they disappear me know it’s because I set up these WiFi networks years ago for neighbors to read and can’t be bothered to figure out how to change them.

A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

This is, I think, the natural result of a nation that elevated capitalism to the level of national religion: an entire administration of people who don’t think bribery is wrong or even worth hiding

Seconds earlier, her husband had been abducted by masked ICE agents who did not identify themselves, did not present a warrant, did not give any lawful grounds for his detention.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

~4am today: video shared to social media by a neighbor shows an early morning raid with flash grenades on a house in Cicero. Border Patrol agents are on the scene, including one who looks a lot like Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino, seen alongside a person filming.

EXCLUSIVE: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will halt abortions in October in response to the GOP budget "defunding" provision It's the first known PP affiliate to drop abortion services in the wake of the law:

So much appreciation to Yasmin for saying what she said and performing despite the white supremacist threat from Grenell and his chuds.

‘The bullets were woke and meant for cops and don’t look behind the confederate curtain’ tells you nothing from any cop is worth believing. They won’t mention the murdered kidnapped people and their families will be denied any details.

“In June, which is Pride month and the most recent month for which data is available, that shot up to 23 arrests. Attorneys and advocates say the arrests have continued escalating in the months since, with the Legal Aid Society tracking 20 public lewdness arrests in a single day in September.”

White supremacist Kristi Noem has already tried to spin it as left wing violence against police but the two people dead are immigrants that were kidnapped by ICE.

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.

“Curtis Evans, of Evanston, a military veteran USMC intelligence during President Reagan’s era, carries a U.S. Flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. -Stacey Wescott

Nearly 50 college instructors across #Illinois landed on #CharlieKirk's “Professor Watchlist.” @wbez.org reached out to all of them and found the list triggered hateful messages, threats of rape or death, and intensification since Kirk's killing. #twill www.wbez.org/politics/202...

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

The volunteer pilots ✈️ at @elevatedaccess.bsky.social have flown almost *3,000* people for abortion and gender affirming care. Now, we’re looking for a donation of a specific type of plane to fill in some gaps left by commercial planes and the private planes of our generous volunteer pilots.

There are 2 Black Democratic Senators….. Imagine going along with this.

I literally did this (a series of church-based “listening sessions” on abortion) and it wasn’t safe 15 years ago. I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be now. I was naive and fearless and I wish someone had told me not to do it.

“Maybe I met him on some boys’ trip? I feel like I’ve seen his penis before. Have we ever gone swimming at the same time? You have a mole right here under your rib cage, right?”

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

More than a quarter of a million people displaced from Gaza City in past month, UN figures show

There’s hundreds of new podcasts every day but we all have to tune in to the things 2 media conglomerates want us to? Jimmy could build five of those sets in one of his garages and do the same thing. X is a just message board. What I’m saying I guess is that US media culture is so pathetic.

The loser energy that radiates off "it's illegal not to like me" shit like this is palpable bsky.app/profile/zack...

They got rid of the ‘other’ category when I cancelled our subscription this morning so they don’t have to read what we think about their bigot savior. But I appreciate corps doing the most to get me more into dvds, free sites, local stores, mutual aid, etc, it’s saved us so much money.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Finally decided on my Halloween costume

Get this man out of our kids’ lives ASAP. Which Dems voted for him and who is running against them?
