Fuck yeah! A win for the rule of law.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from federalizing and deploying Oregon National Guard troops to Portland following a challenge from the state and the city of Portland. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/10/04/f... by @alexbaumhardt.bsky.social

idk man, if you’re getting to the point where you’re accusing prosecutors, judges, and metro police of being the enemy, i am skeptical you have achieved the kind of consolidation you need for this kind of a project

The Conservative Men Who Are Scared of Cities have escalated to gassing civilians for being rude to them.

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?

weird how the actual answer, "he has been a habitual liar his entire life," is never considered here

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

"...these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try."

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles...

A priest with a lot of tattoos -- Michael from Evanston -- we talked a bit. At one point, he muttered, "They can't arrest all of us." And I thought about Andor. I will be going back to Broadview. They can't arrest all of us. "Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously & without instruction."

Breaking on MSNBC: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey. This news was first reported by Reuters.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Good for @connoreatspants.bsky.social for asking. You can hear his voice shake a little.

I think we should do Trump-is-dead speculation every time we get a clean chance, it’s clearly great for team morale. If you’re not into it, I dunno, post cat pics or something and enjoy the downstream benefits of other people being in a good mood

Oh he can just unilaterally pass unconstitutional laws now huh ok

Democrats are ready to pass a funding bill that protects healthcare, lowers costs, and safeguards against Trump’s abuses of power.   Mike Johnson’s response? Cancel votes in the House and continue the shutdown.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Pam Bondi's DOJ now running interference for far right influencers arrested by local cops in Portland. Opens investigation into arrest of Nick Sortor www.kgw.com/article/news...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

this is as open an admission that an entire agency is engaging in routine constitutional violations that I can imagine

former spirtual advisor to jeffrey epstein's best friend donald trump

Telegram is still on the App Store after being linked to multiple mass shootings.

History has many painful lessons.

if you respect the law and the constitution, the trump administration has no use for you

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

American Christians deciding the Pope doesn't know the Bible because he said immigrants are human is the perfect summary of the evangelist movement

“The Govt sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to the check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where ppl are hired for day jobs; who work or appear to work in jobs such as landscaping, construction, agriculture, or car washes…” -Justice Kavanaugh

wtf - breaking down doors with no warrants? Gestapo shit.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

Actually, I can! I’ve been in the media & covering Hollywood for over 30 years and the number of entitled, empty headed, cowardly, failed upward, ass kissing dipshits that I’ve encountered cannot be accurately measured

😄

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

Once again, if for some reason you’re actually relying on Politico for news, you can achieve the exact same results by striking your forehead with a hammer a few dozen times.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA. I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Microsoft declares bring your Copilot to work day, usurping IT authority

A colleague shared that a recent poll of UC students in DC showed 23% of them saying they'd be excited to vote for AOC as president in 2028. This is exactly why, and it's the type of compassionate leadership that I hope people demand in the future.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

⚠️ Worth paying attention to the focus on Emergency Room care here because I expect they are going to try to get rid of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), which is was passed in 1986 under Reagan and is what makes ER care available to everyone regardless of ability to pay.

RIP Jane Goodall, by all accounts a wonderful woman who loved this Far Side cartoon

The people will boot you from your office, Mike “Moses” Johnson. May your party wander in a political desert long after.
