ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

EXACTLY!

Western CT DSA in Stamford on Jan. 10. Tremendous response from motorists - honking, leaning out of windows and waving. A widow in the front car of a funeral procession gave a thumbs up all the way past our line at Washington Blvd & Tresser.

Abolish ICE, my senator. You know in your heart they are Nazi wannabes. The only safe thing to do is abolish and prosecute top To bottom. They know that, too.

@indivisiblestam.bsky.social NOON, SATURDAY, Jan 10

Hundreds of people have packed into Chicago's Thalia Hall tonight for a community listening session on CPD collaboration with ICE/CBP. Police district councillors who gathered petition signatures required to hold tonight's hearing are opening by thanking the community for showing out.

Silverio Villegas González. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Mahmoud Khalil. Marimar Martinez. And thousands of names I cannot fit in a single post. ICE, DHS, and CBP lied about all of them. They lied about you, Daniel, and they lied about me. If you want to lead in 2026, it’s time to stop believing them.

I may be a retired historian but I'm still lecturing. If you are sending out any links or bibliography on Venezuela, please add me to your list! @healeyparera.bsky.social

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

Did you see this? @georgetakei.bsky.social 😖

In 2020 Philip Esformes received clemency from Trump for a medicare fraud scheme estimated at $1.3 billion, but four years later was arrested again in Florida on a domestic violence charge. www.cnbc.com/2024/10/15/t...

“Biden officials worried that attaching their names to a recommendation to limit American support for Tel Aviv would hinder their future career prospects, the former senior official said, ‘which is in itself appalling.’”

Patronizing your critics is such a Cuomo move! This cherry-picked hagiography meant to soothe centrist Dem voters alarmed that Trump backed Cuomo this weekend leaves out A LOT that happened even before the sexual assault charge forced his resignation.

Why is the report on this important debate only appearing a full week after the event? ‘Black Votes Matter’: Could voter turnout swing Stamford mayoral election? ctexaminer.com/2025/11/02/b...

Flashbacks to people being impressed by Fetterman campaigning in a patched Carhartt hoodie.

Of course the question is "win what?" but the condescension! My sign had DSA's Boycott Avelo campaign logo with a QR code and people stopped to ask me about it. It felt like two hours well spent.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

The Stamford Advocate missed about 10K protestors today. @indivisiblestam.bsky.social @indivisiblenorwalk.bsky.social www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article...

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

As of Sept. 21, 2025: 71.5% of current detainees have no criminal convictions tracreports.org/immigration/...

If your client or loved one has been disappeared by the US gov, whether to Guantánamo, a Salvadoran gulag, or some other incomunicado/unregistered ICE or CBP facility, I urge you to report it to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (thread): www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

TIL: The Militia Act of 1903, also known as . . . the Dick Act, was legislation . . . to create what would become the modern National Guard from a subset of the militia, and codify the circumstances under which the Guard could be federalized. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia...

Also "became known for" is doing a lot of work here: "in recent years, the city became known for boarded-up storefronts, open-air drug use, homeless encampments and explosive protests."

Actual quote NOT the pitchbot. "At a downtown art gala last month, affinity for Portland’s socialists among champagne-sipping attendees was in short supply."

After district courts blocked arbitrarily withholding funds from prestige universities, the feds rolled out a "compact" of "incentives" & is targeting schools w interim presidents who are "inherently weak, sometimes because a prior president was successfully forced out by the right.”

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Some differences in tactics we've noticed since Border Patrol has arrived: raids going later into the day (Chicago ICE was previously mostly sticking to very early mornings), more traffic stops, agents grabbing more people at once vs more individuals

Alongside DHS disinformation about Broadview protestors, AI is tossing surreal takes into the mix with sloppy lunar graphics. Everything Everywhere All At Once. @markjacob.bsky.social @wbez.org usnewsper.com/2025/10/mayo...

Kat Abughazaleh, running for congress from Chicago/Evanston, shows what leadership looks like. She has been at the Broadview facility, in person, most of this week, returning even after being thrown onto the pavement so hard she bounced.

Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors. This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

Sun Dog! Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT today -- late afternoon sun flanked by two smaller rainbow "suns".

People who coax chatbots into sensible answers are basically opening and closing the fridge until it contains something you wanna eat, yes, eventually you get hungrier & eat the stuff in there. But what changed was your cognition. The fridge stayed the same. You changed your mind about the contents.
