There’s a weird energy right now. Not panic. Just… uncertainty. I’m hearing it in conversations. People second guessing decisions, waiting, wondering if now is the wrong time for everything. But life doesn’t actually pause. 1/3

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks. "So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

This is the message MAGA is protesting.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Renee Good Vigil attendee: “American citizens are being shot in the street. This administration is not following court orders. They’re sending citizens out of the country. Are you waiting for them to knock on your door?” (From @channel5bluesky.bsky.social )

“3 flash bangs at my car. ICE knew we were trying to leave. My 6 month old can’t breathe.” Trump’s goons terrorize a Black family in Minneapolis, to the point where EMT’s have to come help his child get away from the gas and chaotic dangerous scene (H/T @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

CALIFORNIA: “Crops ready to be harvested were abandoned - left to die in a field simply because there wasn’t enough labor… workers are showing up less because of (Trump’s) ICE raids.”

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt: We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down. Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool. The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code. They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Remember to set your bathroom scale back 15 pounds at 1am late Wednesday night for Thanksgiving.

As Matthew Sitman points out — like @zohrankmamdani (and MLK, etc) ‘1984’ author George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist who fought for workers. He also opposed communism because the two are not the same things and words have meanings. theconversation.com/orwells-oppo...

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸 #NoKingsInAmerica (From @billbramhall.bsky.social )

do you guys ever think about how in a better world José Andres could just like. have some restaurants. and instead he’s consistently doing the work we’re supposed to have governments for

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

It’s National Coffee Day! ☕️ If your coffee order was a real estate listing, what would it say? (Mine would be: “Strong foundation, extra bold, with a splash of charm!”

This is 100% correct. If you don’t have documents proving legal status, we don’t issue an SSN. No SSN, no benefits. And we don’t just assume the documents are valid. Every applicant’s status is verified with immigration. Every. Single. Time. Period. Don’t believe their lies. Tell your friends.

Today both hubby and I got our COVID and Flu shots at Kaiser Permanente. We're glad to live in CA where our politicians and health agencies believe in science.

KRISTOF: “Trump claimed no one has died from its cuts to humanitarian aid, wants to cancel $4.9 billion more… Yet here in desperate villages in Uganda not only are aid cuts killing children daily, that death toll is accelerating.” How is this pro-life? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

I don't know what happened to make the algorithm fill up my reels thread w/ only K-Pop Demon Hunter videos last night. Funny ones from dads with their kids & guys w/o kids who got hooked, dancers from around the world, explanations of what the tiger & magpie mean in Korean culture.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Oh look — @govbilllee’s Secretary of Voter Supression Tre Hargett & Mark Goins purging the Nashville voter rolls ahead of an important midterm cycle. Voter suppression is an art form for Tennessee Republicans.
