Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

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.

U.S. Military Officials Are Reportedly Drawing Up Plans to Attack Venezuela

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

I’m not alone in thinking that we desperately need a general strike. But in my experience teaching state university students I find that very few of them know what that is. I take every opportunity to tell them…

Antifascism is real. Antifa groups are real. Trump’s ‘war zone’ in Portland is fake.

Before I turn on @npr.org again or read another @nytimes.com editorial, because I know exactly how it'll be: This isn't "a threat" to academic freedom. It's not igniting "a debate" about it. The "future" of academic freedom isn't at stake. This is what the end of academic freedom has made possible.

BREAKING: At least 82 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks throughout Gaza since dawn, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/570it8

They're not even bothering to actually try to construct a narrative of why Portland is in danger and needs to be "protected." They're just invading a Democratic city to show that they can, and hoping to incite violence in response.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Trump says he's sending troops to Portland to protect ICE facilities he claims are "under siege" by Antifa and "other domestic terrorists." https://cnn.it/3IuZxFt

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

Today's statement about "Fighting Back Against Antifa Violence" from the DHS contains a false conspiracy theory about our member crew Rose City Antifa. RCA has not doxed any ICE agents, a fact confirmed by going to the URL DHS conveniently censored from their photo. RCA did not put up this flyer.

JD Vance appropriating the term "blood libel" to describe legitimate criticism of ICE agents is one of the most antisemitic things I have heard in US politics in the past few weeks. Yet this administration has somehow managed to convince a lot of people it actually cares about fighting antisemitism.

In just two days the Trump administration has rhetorically expanded their bogeyman term from ‘antifa’ to ‘antifa-aligned.’ They are not hiding their goal of equating protest with terrorism.

I spoke with historian @mark-bray.bsky.social about what’s behind Trump's executive order declaring antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” and his memorandum ordering federal probes into “organized political violence.” www.thecut.com/article/trum...

Now pushing no Tylenol for kids. My two small kids recently spiked three fevers in two weeks (Covid, virus, virus). You want me to make them stay up all night sweating and keening rather than give them one safe chewable, drop their temp, and let them go to sleep? You are an actual monster.

Rest in Power Assata Shakur.

I've been sitting with this piece of @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social for two days, reading it, re-reading it. You should too. #EzraKlein is the avatar of a new kind of liberal indulgence for the worst of the far-right, embracing bad-faith as a practice. www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Latin American historian here. This is (in part) following the playbook of DINA in Chile and the birth of the terror-izing military junta. And we all know how it ended there. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

Heading in the direction of Nazi Germany after Hitler took power 30 January 1933 and put his political,opponents in concentration camps. But instead of having historians reconstruct events in retrospective, it‘s on live television.

When states repress resistance movements for alleged terrorism, they always make the case that the root problem is ideas. We see that on full display here. The end game is obvious: destroy the ideas.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

brb using a sharpie to write “I Love Tylenol” on a bullet so the government has an open and shut case

Hard to be putting together lectures on the rise of military dictatorships in 20th century Latin America and not be checking boxes for what’s happening here in US 😭 #amteaching

Wild how all the people doing crime these days just coincidentally leave bullets with the narrative they want very neatly written on top

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Report: ICE Placed More Than 10,000 People in Solitary Confinement

Protesters were tear gassed, shot with pepper spray bullets and some detained by ICE officers outside of a facility in suburban Broadview Friday morning. blockclubchi.co/3VslkAr

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

Before anyone jokes about Trump categorizing a nonexistent organization as a “major terrorist organization,” remember: If he says that antifa members are terrorists, and he says his team will decide who and what qualifies as “antifa,” this can get scary in a hurry. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

designating ANTIFA an enemy of the state is telling on yourself

Why did the DOJ scrub the study that showed right-wing terrorism is the number one domestic terror threat in America? Also, who leads ANTIFA? Where do they assemble? How about their funding? Trump is using Kirk's murder as his Reichstag Fire. They will implement martial law and punt the elections.

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

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.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

I could say that antifa is neither ‘terrorist’ nor an ‘organization,’ but MAGA does not care about facts…this is just about mobilizing a broad label to expand repression and accelerate the march to fascism.
