DMV Worker: Stop staring at your phone while I take your driver's license photo Guy: But this is how I look when I drive

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

"F*ck that, that's not a strategy....If your strategy for stopping fascism is to hope that a few Republicans in Congress find a conscience or a spine, then get the hell out of here." Me on the useless Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Full discussion: zeteo.com/p/the-suspec...

ILLINOIS — BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.” ICE is routinely gassing cops and negatively impacting the community as their detention facility faces protests.

I wanna know why the justice department and the FBI war aren't investigating this?? 👿👇🏼😠💙

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

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.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

"One thing is clear. Immigrants are not driving a crime wave in the US. There is a wave of corporate crime stateside, however, with companies such as Boeing and its 737 MAX aircraft crashes a case in point." www.commondreams.org/opinion/immi...

Workers at the Hilton Americas-Houston hotel are STILL ON STRIKE for better wages and respect on the job! 💥 This is the first strike of Texas hotel workers in modern history. ✊🏽 Donate to their strike fund to support the fight: www.gofundme.com/f/support-hi...

While they have you distracted… (And the top 1% control more than 1/3rd)

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

I’m old enough to remember that Donald Trump got elected on a promise to bring down prices

“Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy... censorship. When any government. . .say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.” — Robert A. Heinlein

"Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.” " open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

We are not living through another run-up to the American Civil War. Secession and violence are, therefore, not the answer. We are actually living through another Gilded Age. So the answer is a third-party fight against corruption, monopolies, and imperialism: a working-class-based progressivism.

Alligator Alcatraz Is an ‘Extrajudicial Black Site,’ Immigrant Advocates Say as Detainees are Disappeared Over 1,000 detainees in Florida’s immigrant internment camp have effectively “disappeared,” with family and attorneys unable to track their whereabouts. www.commondreams.org/news/alligat...

BREAKING: Justice Clarence Thomas is reportedly telling powerful Christian groups he doesn't value precedent set by previous courts. 😳 He's laying the groundwork to repeal HUNDREDS of years of settled law. A**hole. Don't let him do it quietly.

9:30 pm Shots ring out on Cape Fear River, NC. 3 dead, at least 5 injured. 2:22 am Shots ring out Bourbon Street, New Orleans. 1 dead, 3 injured. 10:25 am Shots ring out Mormon church, Michigan. 2 dead, 8 injured. All of this happened within 13 hours.

Powerful.

On September 27, 2025, in Ladera Heights, California, a U.S. citizen was hospitalized after being detained during an ICE raid.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

79. American citizen.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Fascinating study. Note that this is 1 in 10 adults. Factor in children and the percentage of non-driving Americans is much higher. Cities and towns need to account for their mobility needs too.

Also this is appalling. Jesus Christ.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

“WE MAKE, THEY TAKE” From @moreperfectunion.bsky.social — 50 billboards across 8 states are driving home the message that working Americans (teachers, nurses, etc) keep 🇺🇸 running, but billionaires keep taking more & more. Share if you agree. More: perfectunion.us/wemaketheyta...

ICE employees allegedly subjected transgender detainees to sexual assault, denial of medical attention, & forced labor “The program had actually a much more sinister purpose ... designed to punish and physically torture people who identify as LGBTQ or transgender" By @newsweek.com

Really important to internalize that the president of the United States is ordering troops into major population centers precisely to create violent confrontations, for the sole purpose of intimidating, criminalizing and disabling opposition

I already feel it with the tariffs…

We found a link between SARS-CoV-2 reinfection & #longCOVID, & a post-pandemic rise in thrombotic events across all populations, regardless of vaccination or prior infection. Findings support continued COVID diagnosis in suspected cases & mask use by healthcare workers treating respiratory patients

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

And the admin is likely to try to deport him again once he’s out of the hospital.

This is why they don't want @housedemocrats.bsky.social showing up to ICE facilities unannounced In May Congress gave $59 billion for immigration detention housing. No reason to have 80 people in a cell. You could rent them all hotel rooms for $59 billion @washingtonpost.com reporting from May

What was that about going to War with Portland, Gramps?

THIS IS WHAT RESISTANCE LOOKS LIKES!!!!!!!
