This at the same event where Trump said the enemy is “within”

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

In a 161-page ruling, Federal District Court Judge William Young finds that noncitizens in the US have the same First Amendment rights as citizens, and the State and DHS secretaries violated the law by arresting and deporting pro-Palestinian protesters. storage.courtlistener.com/rec...

"It's a war from within." An important and dark Triad from @jvl.bsky.social today in @thebulwark.com on Trump's horrifying, clownish, and embarrassing speech to the generals this morning:

Big scoop from @davecolon.bsky.social and @dmey.bsky.social at Streetsblog. The Trump admin rants about subway crime while literally defunding the police

“I told [Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth], we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military — National Guard, but our military, because we’re going into Chicago very soon,” Trump added. “That’s a big city with an incompetent governor.”

“We are under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy, but worse—they don’t wear a uniform.” This is the President of the United States, who ordered the entire leadership of our military to sit and listen to him, speaking a few minutes ago.

This is not the kind of stuff that gets said in a free country

This passage nearly broke me.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

strong presidency, weak president! real bad shit

It really can not be emphasized enough that "exaggerating the danger of the left" is a key, central tactic of aspiring fascists. Look back at every country that slid into authoritarianism & you'll find a campaign like this preceding it. Every time. It's part of the script.

“For more than three years we have been fighting for nothing more than a fair contract,” @michaelsheridan.bsky.social tells the Council

I joined my @nydnunion.bsky.social brethren in testifying before the New York City Council today

New from 404 Media: landlords are demanding potential tenants hand over employer login credentials so a tool can verify their income. I was sent screenshot of the tool, Argyle, downloading much more data than necessary to approve the renter. Opt-out means no housing www.404media.co/landlords-de...

We're reopening the case as to whether the Triborough Bridge needs a Kennedy name slapped on it (it doesn't): nygroove.nyc/rfk-bridge-t...

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

Real post on another network:

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

I dunno I just think the world won’t get any better if I don’t think it can And I emerge from a tradition that believed it could be good enough for me to be possible. So I have to believe in the world that will make the next steps possible

Comey's indictment is distracting from the bigger step Trump took today: ordering a consolidated government crackdown on anti-fascist actions. Just read it. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

Seconds earlier, her husband had been abducted by masked ICE agents who did not identify themselves, did not present a warrant, did not give any lawful grounds for his detention.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Heath Freeman/Alden, take that money and give my colleagues at @nydnunion.bsky.social a livable wage, please.

get their asses

3/ Tech fascism in a nutshell: “Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.“ She wrote this in 2000!

There's a lot wrong here, but the notion that state laws requiring law enforcement to identify themselves are "encouragement" is actually a big part of the problem

A crackdown on gay cruising inside the Penn Station bathroom by the federal Amtrak Police has landed one person in ICE custody. Amtrak Police, unlike the NYPD, are not bound by local sanctuary protections. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/24/a...

"if people click on it, it must be good and we need much more of it" has been positively cancerous at scale

Deleted previous post because I recalled that some semi-autos (like the SKS) can be loaded with stripper clips. But two high profile shootings in a row with non-mag-fed weapons is, at the very least, notable IMHO

Just gonna tape my business card to the subway seat

This is horrific. My home state has lost so much good local media in recent years.

If I could put one thing in bold in the “Welcome to New York City” handbook, it would be: Take off your backpacks and bags on a crowded train, what’s wrong with you?
