By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers. Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now: bit.ly/4a2VtHw

Republicans went on the morning shows and insist we’ll be ok while Europe abandon’s US BONDS. The emergency was yesterday we’re burning down today.

Louansee Moua says ICE agents came to her brother-in-law’s apartment, handcuffed him and forced him outside in freezing weather in boxers. She says Saly, a U.S. citizen, was released after they realized “he had no criminal history and no reason to be detained.” Photo by Reuters

I remembered my password! I'm posting my video here in 30 minutes

Watergate schmatergate

A federal judge tossed out Missouri Republicans’ challenge to a citizen-led referendum just days before the measure’s organizers are expected to submit over 200k signatures, positioning voters to decide for themselves whether to accept the new gerrymander.

“That’s all I can say” is carrying more weight than James Harden on the clippers.

An I tearing up about MLB MVP award outcomes bro? Wtf

Fake ass “Washington” #gohawks

Want to see a microcosm of America? Immigrants won the World Series for the Dodgers and immigrants will be unwelcome and hunted at the victory parade.

The Blue Jays plan to walk Ohtani for the rest of the series is embarrassing and the baseball equivalent of flopping to get foul shots because you think you’re not good enough to win by actually playing Usually I’m against new MLB rules but this should never happen again

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

Shohei Ohtani could still be a Mariner, if Mike Pence has the courage.

Lia Smith deserved a long, healthy and productive life.

Jumping John Paul Crawford

That was the coolest double play I done ever seen

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people." Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Thinking about Mariners post season baseball as the entire lineup goes yard in the first inning

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...

We had a horrific emergency involving our kids today and right now I'm just sitting at my computer in a daze and in shock. Thankfully they are okay but others are less fortunate.

You could loudly make immigration rules that sounded incredibly tough, with forms and checks and all the rest and it would still be a huge liberalization of immigration.

IT DOESN’T IT DOESN’T DO THAT AT ALL IT REFRAMES PREVENTABLE DEATHS AS INEVITABLE AND VICTIMS AS WILLING MARTYRS WHO ARE ACTUALLY BETTER OFF DEAD NOW IT IS A DIABOLICAL THING TO SAY IF YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO STOP THIS SHIT AND REFUSING TO DO IT

The writing for alien earth is actually fire. Noah Hawley you sonofabitch

Wow I can't believe someone defaced the Jefferson Memorial by chiseling the words "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just" into the marble.

I know that shrieking and wringing one's hands every hour on the hour isn't going to accomplish anything, but every now and then it kicks in for me that the president of the United States is a maniac, and, to be honest, it's bothersome.
