In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

What in the absolute FUCK. The only words I have right now are F-bombs.

But let’s be clear: Lawless action by ICE agents is taking place every day. Ms. Moreta-Galarza’s husband had just been abducted. They are still separated—like many thousands more families. And we still haven’t been allowed to see the 10th floor detention center.

they don’t want you to know that protesting is fun as shit

The thing about huckleberries is, once you've had fresh, you'll never go back to canned.

@blankcheck.bsky.social just amazing work on the theme song and the remix.

Having now seen it again, this time in Vista Vision: run, don’t walk, once it’s playing near you.

We will be all ready for you when the Brooklyn Book Fair opens at 10! Booth 610 @beltpublishing.bsky.social

that shit is never getting back to you

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

Elected officials are the chosen officers of the people, they carry a democratic mandate, they are oath-sworn to uphold the Constitution, which makes civil disobedience by them potent in a way private citizens are not.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

three weeks into the school year.

Redford Top 5 Sundance 3 Days of the Condor Spy Game The Sting Quiz Show

somewhere out there is a full size Italian version of the Butch Cassidy theatre poster that i couldn’t afford to buy when i saw it in a vintage shop in London 25 years ago. i think Redford would want to internet to track that down for me today

my favourite story about robert redford is how he got turned down for a role in the graduate because he spent the audition saying 'aaaaay i'm the graduate, baby' even though he was reading for anne bancroft's part

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

New list of medieval dog names just dropped.

in the major league baseball system, the husky are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the large lads, who mash taters, and the beefy boys, who try to strike them out. these are their stories. DUNN DUNN

I put the house on Minteh stocks last year, still feeling good about the long-term returns

soccer is on TV constantly

What the actual fuck. US Tennis Association: “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage.”

Ducks going full Moss early

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

No Saka in the squad. No Odegaard or Trossard in the XI. Eze still on the bench. Man is going to get <1000’ this season. #epl-live #fpl

People saying life hasn’t changed must not leave the house. There are checkpoints in my neighborhood, terrified kids & parents to and from school, people calling out of work and not coming into the city anymore. Delivery drivers ripped off their scooters in front of hundreds of angry neighbors.

The last 2 weeks have seen many articles clearly stating Trump has taken US into some state of authoritarianism, even dictatorship, some by indie journalists, but also, major international media. Today on 1A, Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine & Spain’s La Vanguardia. 🧵 www.faz.net/aktuell/poli...

These are my patients. Kids dying of brain cancer. Kids and families desperate for treatment and hoping to find a cure through experimental therapies. Trump is dismantling science and children with brain tumor are the victims. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

God yes

i need to move back to civilization

Well there you have it: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

severance sucks.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Guys, I have a special & unusual request today. My cousin Sean is a union bus driver here in Los Angeles who was just FIRED in retaliation for saying he would not let masked ICE agents onto his bus to abduct riders. The fight is on to get his job back, you can help: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.

Play The Kids™️

big day for Geordies taking a point and £140M off Liverpool with one touch

LFC defense just comically poor

Sean Dyche >>> Carlo Ancelotti

what are we doing, that’s a red card ffs

if you work in media and aren't loudly and unambiguously using your platform to fight this dictatorship, then you are failing.

i love Eze, and leeds isn’t a fair test, but really how is he getting into this side on a regular basis

spurs nearly managing to not score there to save city an ignominious #wpiootbgw

absolutely a good goal, and a great bit of attack. healthy Richarlison is something fun

sweet merciful christ

ICE body slams man's head hard into pavement—for eating crabs in public. Agents shove him into ground with arms twisted behind his back—bleeding severely from his forehead. "My head! You're breaking my arm!" he cries out. "Why are you doing this? I was just eating crabs!" Washington, D.C.
