Today would be a really great day to subscribe to @thetriibe.com, @unraveledpress.com, and @chicagoreader.com. They’ve been sharing quality info about daily DHS abductions and attempted stifling of dissent at Broadview for weeks.

Thomas has been an essential read the last several years. He presciently described the radicalization of the right (not just Trump, but the broader right) in clear terms and explained exactly why they would run an administration like this. I will subscribe to this and you should too!

The most radical, right wing Supreme Court since Roger Taney sat on the bench is going to take up Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship And given the way SCOTUS has mostly given Trump what he wants This is a very dangerous time to be a Person of Color in America apple.news/AJn3_UZpaSza...

Des Moines public school issues statements yesterday (scroll down) saying that Ian Roberts had an FBI background check in 2023 and it raised no red flags and Roberts said he was a US Citizen. To summarize: ICE said Roberts entered the US in 1999. He was running track for Copin Sate though in 1997

More of this, please. Keep showing the world beautiful Portland just like we did when Trump was targeting Chicago. The counter- narrative matters.

They made my existence into an "issue" then complained I'd become a single issue voter

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

Just to recap, the actual president found an AI-generated video of a fake news report depicting a fake announcement about an imaginary healthcare system based on a technology that doesn’t exist and posted it on his official social media account

Does anybody out there know why my Nord One sits on any mail I send with an attachment? Things have been in my outbox for weeks. This crap is new in the last year. It used to work.

The main reason Revenge Dump's in office again and not in prison where he belongs is cos Mitch McConnell violated his oath of office and didn't lead the Senate to vote for impeachment. Thanks Mitch that decision will haunt you to your grave and as long as there's still recorded history afterwards.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

I remember during his first admin I was constantly told his tweets were reported on because "when the president says it its news" and then Biden would post "you have the right to form a union" and no one would report it, and now here we are. With Trump posting breaking news AI slop about himself.

These people are evil

Trump posting an AI video of himself promising something that doesn’t exist should get the full failing Biden front page treatment but we know it won’t.

ummm.. holy shit? tool use in bovids confirmed? holy holy shit?

Our good boss got moved to another branch and replaced with a cunt. After 6 months we found out he was having an affair with one of the women in HR. A group of us got together and sent an anonymous message to his spouse. His marriage collapsed and he lost access to his kids.

So Ebay Ireland has suspended our store, deleted all the listings which took us hours to photograph and post. We appealed, but to no avail. The shop is permanently banned from ebay Ireland and they will not give us a reason why. They will also keep all the money from the sales for 120 days or more

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

Feds just arrested a reporter at the ICE facility outside Chicago

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

With no warning, ICE has detained Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts. No reason has yet been provided for the detainment. Roberts is a native of Guyana and a former Olympic Athlete, and by all accounts is a well-regarded member of the Des Moines community.

I know we’re supposed to be Past That, Marge, but it really is astonishing that Trump—through a weird combination of total shamelessness on his part and sneaking regard on theirs—has largely gotten to the media to treat him in a way that applies to literally no-one else in American public life.

If you're state is refusing to turn over data you might want to call and thank your Governor and State AG. The eight states in addition to New Hampshire include: California Maine Michigan Minnesota New York Oregon Pennsylvania

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.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

"Shaven. Not furred."

I picked up a songbook at Goodwill that has the gambler in it, and last night I read the lyrics. That's the first time since the song came out that I've actually known what he was saying. Apparently I don't always listen too closely. Not wild about it, but it's a better song than I thought.

It'll be hilarious in 18 months when they go out of business and the accounts who were posting "CIVIL WAR NOW. NO MERCY. PURGE THE TRAITORS" over a logo change don't even notice

a helpful roundup of scandals and how they fit the mob-boss model.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream it—be it!!

It's gotta be an all-time golden age to be doing actual crimes.

Republicans think crime is out of control when it’s really dropping because FoxNews and RW media lie to them. They need to keep them afraid and enraged The fascists in Spain spread stories that the other side had raped 10,000 nuns. A lie, but effective in stoking righteous murderous hatred

Greg Gutfeld screamed at his co-host @jessicatarlov.bsky.social that it would take her two months to find examples of right wing domestic terrorism. I've included several examples - the Evergreen High School shooting happened the same day as the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Dear Nord, Android, whoever may be responsible: I do not wish to "optimize" Accu Battery. I had informed the system of this. I have repeatedly instructed it not to do this. I would be happy if it would stop doing this. tldr: Make it stop. tldre: STOP

Using claims of victimhood from censorship to justify seizing power and ending free speech has been the far right’s go-to move for over a century. theracket.news/p/i-m-a-very...

Putting this disclaimer before an angry boy editorial calling for violence in the streets is so so so funny to me. Literally undermines the piece entirely.

First they catered to the bots, and I said nothing.

Military service is about courage and sacrifice. That’s what my father, a Marine, and my mother, a Navy veteran, taught me. But awarding medals for the massacre at Wounded Knee is cruelty, not honor. And reaffirming them today only deepens the injustice. (1/2🧵)

"Would you say the US is in a political crisis?" Yes: 79% No: 18% Quinnipiac / Sept 21, 2025

The Trumpist regime is causing so much damage, so much destruction. We must remember that this goes far beyond politics in a narrow sense, that the radical goons currently in charge of the U.S. government are threatening the health and the lives of so many millions. Please read this.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Release the Epstein files.

Val-de-ree! Val-de-raa! Release the Epstein files.

1. It’s premature, but so far, I think the congressional Democrats have shown some spine in the face of another government shutdown. Let’s hope they show more. If they do not, their public reputation for wimpiness is going to balloon. www.editorialboard.com/schumer-trig...

A lot of free speech absolutist are being awfully quiet about this sort of thing.

A judge ruled the firing of thousands of federal employees was illegal. But he stopped short of ordering the government to reinstate them, predicting the Supreme Court would overturn it.

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court RULES that election officials violated voter’s rights by rejecting mail-in ballots with technical errors without notifying voters. Voters must be given notice their ballots won’t count so they can challenge the disqualification or cast a provisional ballot.

Bertrand Russell once received letters from Sir Oswald Mosley, the founder of the British Union of Fascists, inviting him to a debate. Russell not only declined but replied quite generally that “nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.” @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social
