"The father of four, an immigrant from Afghanistan who helped the U.S. military fight the Taliban, is in a Springfield, Missouri, jail — held with other immigrants picked up in nationwide sweeps. Dadfar is 37 and an asylum-seeker with work authorization." https://bit.ly/4rxmaL8.

By far the LARGEST growth in people arrested by ICE and thrown into detention centers across the country are from people with absolutely no criminal history on record. See the data below (and here: austinkocher.substack.com/p/breaking-i... ).

They also got meals, weren't charged to check their bags, and the seats weren't six inches narrower than the average adult.

something really fun about Trump instantly succumbing to Mamdani’s dazzling charisma is how miserable it probably made Andrew Cuomo to see those pictures 🥰

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

A 79-year-old U.S. citizen has filed a civil rights lawsuit demanding $50 million after being arrested and injured during an immigration raid at his business in Van Nuys, Los Angeles.

I wonder if right now, zohran is talking to his wife about the smell

This is a very unpleasant shopping experience.

"The FBI spied on a private Signal group chat of immigrants’ rights activists who were organizing 'courtwatch' efforts in New York City this spring, law enforcement records shared with the Guardian indicate." https://bit.ly/4o8EhUu

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Classic America. Let people pay more instead of fixing the problem. Where's the jerkoff emoji?

“About one-third of noncitizen immigrants now say they are avoiding aspects of everyday life, according to a new national survey of immigrants from The New York Times and KFF... Among undocumented immigrants, that share rises to 59 percent.”

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

1. An abrupt decision by the Trump administration on October 3 left thousands of ICE detainees without access to vital medical care — a crisis that is ongoing — according to previously unreported ICE documents obtained by Popular Information. Follow this thread for details. 🧵

1. Trump is in the process of sending millions in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself. The money purportedly is to settle legal claims. But these claims are extraordinarily weak and have little to no chance of success. In reality, it is a brazen theft.

NEW: The Trump administration’s slickly produced videos of an immigration raid at a Chicago apartment building in September showed federal agents rappelling from a helicopter and banging down doors. These are the stories of the people who were inside.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats. Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives. You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

This is not going to be a surprise for anyone working in the global mobility space.

Scoop: The Trump administration is planning a policy change that could make it harder for immigrants to get green cards and other approvals if they are from countries subject to the president’s travel ban, according to internal documents. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

NEW: Trump says America needs more foreign workers. His company requested a record 184 of them for 2025. me, for @Forbes 1/

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles https://theonion.com/trump-still-polling-well-with-working-class-american-pedophiles/

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics

Schumer embodies that thing I'm seeing shared lately: If a genie granted the Dems three wishes, they would negotiate it down to one and then choose something they hoped the GOP would like.

Oh

Chuck Schumer in particular is a Dem leader who is incredibly unpopular and yet the party that makes claims about “defending democracy” consistently refuses to act or even listen to what voters keep saying about him.

Maybe ask the people who've been bringing Michael Myers back to life for 40 years. I'm sure they have ideas you could borrow.

From Purple Heart recipients to military parents of U.S. Marines, immigrant veterans are being detained, deported, and torn from their families. "These are not isolated cases or tragic instances of human error." #VeteransDay ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social + @yunao08.bsky.social

@schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov don't have my vote and I don't care what happens between now and then.

Joyce Carol Oates should say he can't do backflips off the roof next

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I'm a no vote on my incumbent senators even if they're a no vote on this.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Moses Mike Johnson has refused to swear in a duly-elected Democrat who won her race by a landslide and yet a certain faction of Democrats are believing Republican promises because …?

“They said that despite President Donald Trump’s depiction of Chicago as a ‘war zone,’ the biggest disturbance or encounter with violence that they have witnessed in their neighborhood was not from criminals — but when immigration agents swept through.”

On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special election to represent Arizona in the House of Representatives in a landslide, collecting 69% of the vote. Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike Johnson has not sworn in Grijalva.

Probably about time for another diarrhea dump video.

Enjoy The Villages buddy.

I can't believe no one in California did a yes on 50 ad that was just like, "yes on 50 because fuck 'em."

Cheney Returns To Camp Crystal Lake

New Cheney Memoir Reveals He's Going To Live Full, Satisfied Life Without Ever Feeling Remorse And There's Nothing We Can Do About It

In Memoriam: Cheney Haunted By People He Didn't Manage To Kill In Iraq War

Young voters and prob like that he's not 4,000 years old.

Setting aside the obvious re asylum seekers... What does this mean? It's not worth going to war with a country if you can't kill the people in the mental institutions?

Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!

I can't even count how many times The Onion has totally turned my day around. I've been laughing about this all day.

you know this is the kind of picture premise that begs for ai. good on tim onion for sending a photographer out to capture a real picture instead.

Scream Mask Left On While Using Toilet

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.
