Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? MAMDANI: I've spoken about-- TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

💥Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein claimed he helped engineer former Israeli PM Ehud Barak’s 2019 return to politics to challenge Netanyahu. In chats w/ Steve Bannon, Epstein said he was “dealing with Ehud in Israel,” shared news of Barak’s new party, & implied he was advising... Thread 🧵⬇️

Trump has posted about this subject NINETEEN times so far this morning: Three posts of his own and 16 reposted replies, including calls for violence.

From a reddit post discussing ICE moving into Charlotte

"I wanted to come back here to Israel & let you know that I served you as the mayor," #EricAdams said of #ApartheidIsrael in occupied E. Jerusalem; he enthusiastically supported the #GazaGenocide — making himself complicit in it 🍉 www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251117-i-s... forward.com/news/783958/...

I am sorry hold up a second. Are we all going to blow past that Chuck Schumer was listed in the Epstein files? Everyone hates this guy and suddenly all the prominent people calling for his ouster are silent?

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

Thanks to @juansaaa.com for letting me know that this excellent Johnny Harris video on ICE enforcement is out. I talked to his producer for over an hour during the research process and I think it's a good overview of how we got here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDbt...

“I’m here because there is torture in that facility [Broadview]. It’s a concentration camp.” - Rev. as he’s on the ground being handcuffed.

I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

Come help tell Chuck adiós 👋 #stepaside #nyc #schumer #itstime www.mobilize.us/nycindivisib... @riseandresist.bsky.social @targetmajoritynyc.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social

Its broke maybe but sure it will be searchable again…

You think we get “President Pedo” in any headlines or nah?

The phrase “the dog that didn’t bark” comes from “Silver Blaze,” one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. In it, Holmes deduces that the thief and murderer must have been someone familiar to the dog guarding the stables—because the dog didn’t bark when the crime occurred.

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Here are the at least 6 House Democrats, 3 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 4 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

👀 @democrats.senate.gov

Standing up means saying “hard” things out loud and taking action, not trying to be cutesy and shady on the internet, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social. Call for leadership (@schumer.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov et al) to step down immediately. Otherwise your pretty words about tyrants are meaningless.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Here’s your sign to go plan an ICE 🧊 safety kit making party with friends. Ideas 💡 for what to include in the kits: • whistle • KYR cards • instructions on how to use the whistle and the SALUTE acronym • lists of resources in your community for legal assistance & mutual aid #handsoff #fukICE

Queens Neighborhoods United, a group representing Corona, Elmhurst, and Jackson Heights posted a statement about the abduction of 7 community members from the same corner in Corona, Queens. They describe that federal agents cycled in and out of the block kidnapping ppl throughout the afternoon.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

This is an absolute abomination.

New York! Remember to avoid filming community members’ faces if at all possible. Focus the camera on the kidnappers. Try to get as much information about them as possible, even if they are masked. Document distinctive patches on clothing, tattoos, license plates, vehicle make and model, etc!

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Sudan’s famine is the biggest and most intractable in the world.

Anyone else in Queens confused by all the ballot questions + judge races this year? 😅 We’re doing a one-hour Ballot Breakdown to explain it all. 📆 Thurs 10/16 | 🕑 6:30pm | 📍 Jackson Heights Library RSVP: tiny.cc/ElectionEd

Andrew Cuomo keeps saying he’s the only candidate who can take on Trump once he’s in office. Yet in his statement about the indictment of Letitia James, the highest-ranking Black elected official in the state, he doesn’t even mention Trump by name….and, more importantly, he doesn’t mention James.

No National Guard 💂 No ICE 🧊 no FBI 🕵🏼‍♂️ in NYC 🗽 Hands Off NYC!!! Sign up to be part of a coalition coming together to organize against a possible Federal takeover of NYC. And don’t forget to sign up to march at No Kings Oct 18. Go to NoKings.Org ❌👑 This is how we defend liberty and democracy!

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

This is fascinating. I would bet trump doesn’t care if we see photos of him with topless girls - but he certainly does not want us to see them laughing at him and pointing.

Omg

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Hi @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Have you heard about the NYers sailing on a humanitarian mission in the Mediterranean Sea? 👀 They are approaching Gaza now, under threat. Will you speak out & act to ensure their safe passage? #globalsumudflotilla

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

Sailing by the UN 🇺🇳 in NYC in solidarity with the #GlobalSumudFlotilla, and to reject the presence of the prime minister of genocide at the UNGA. New Yorkers stand with Palestine and with humanity, today and forever.
