It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

🚨 Rep. Jim McGovern attempted to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Rep Elect AZ-07, but they would NOT recognize him in the House. He has a candid reason as to why he thinks this happened. 1/2

No President should ever stoke this kind of division and dehumanize the other half of the country in this way.

The Trump administration’s blatant disregard of the laws and traditions governing federal communications—rules that most employees follow dutifully throughout their careers—has left workers feeling further insulted and demoralized.

I wish Republicans were as outraged that Trump is ignoring court orders, using ICE as his Gestapo, and using the military against US citizens, as they were that time Barack Obama wore a tan suit. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

I HOPE this gets cited in the ruling against the Regime.

It's a cheap laugh, buy I'm no angel . . .

My 10 cents is that other blue states (and maybe even some red states) need to start supporting Illinois, California, and Oregon in their legal arguments BEFORE the spotlight turns to them.

Isn't everyone carrying supposed to fix the gun problem? Lots of return fire on this one . . . Why not "help" Alabama?

A Chilling New Tactic in Nicaragua: Arrest, Then Silence “Nearly half of the 73 political prisoners that human rights groups have officially documented in Nicaragua appear in no public court database. They have had no contact with their families, & the crimes they were charged with are unknown.”

Why is MSNBC the only major news outlet that is covering this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

See the 🧵 for video - this dear man was tear gassed by ICE at the Portland facility. He is a friend of mine and a fellow Quaker, a Navy veteran (he was a war correspondent), and is now in his 90s and uses a walker. Peacefully protesting. But Stephen Miller would have you believe he is a threat. 😡

Can you imagine? America is trying to round up people to deport them and South Korea is trying to make people Feel Better.

You should be able to have a party which says "actually these are reasonable ideas... and the only thing holding it back is people not having faith and confidence that enough other people support those ideas" 👏👏👏

We need to start dreaming of a truly democratic constitution to replace the classist racist one that got us in this mess.

A Spanish-language journalist who lived and worked in Georgia has been deported to El Salvador.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Traitors to democracy and freedom of speech; drunk on money and power. Gifted link www.mercurynews.com/2025/10/03/t...

This isn't theory, it's obvious.

This is absolutely disgusting. The GOP lied to everyone and they all voted for this. #USDemocracy

I've been afraid fascism seemed to be coming my entire life, and still find this photo unimaginable. Who can do anything but protect that baby?

We are now the shithole country that zip ties children.

Wow, they did all that and got *two* suspected gang members? Suspected? Wow. And two of them? Wow. Plus a guy with a previous charge of marihuana possession? Wow. Wow, that is impressive. Wow, when are we throwing these heroes a parade? Wow.

Important to connect the dots...

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Kavanaugh said citizens who are Latino have “no good basis” to think they’ll be racially profiled & “certainly no good basis” to think an unlawful stop is “imminent" Leo Venegas, a citizen who is Latino, was racially profiled & wrongfully detained 2x in 3 weeks ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

This bodes poorly for the Olympics and World Cup

“In all, then, the Supreme Court’s majority has — in a total of five paragraphs over two orders — allowed Noem’s effort to proceed in opposition to seven rulings from seven judges, amounting to 227 pages of opinions.” www.lawdork.com/p/supreme-co...

Chump wants California Schools to Align With Chump's Ideology, And Newsom isn't Having It......

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital. “He has Constitutional rights.” “No.” ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

Yeah

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

THIS! CHICAGO is under SIEGE from the USA? What the HELL, America? www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/u...

Yeah baby! #HatchAct

These are murders and there's no statute of limitation on murder. Let's remember that.

This. Call out every instance. youtube.com/watch?v=cC8X...

Oh good! I was afraid they wouldn't understand that.

She deserves to sit in her own body waste. International criminals - NOT law enforcement.
