Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said she's pressing charges against a man who groped her on the street this week.

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Remember, remember the fifth of November... Here's your annual reminder that Alan Moore's V for Vendetta exists and that it's very good. 🧨 loom.ly/_7HauAg

Savage Sword #11 is out today in the US, but I hear that sadly it’s not in the UK until next week - HOWEVER Forbidden Planet Derby will have copies to purchase for my signing on Saturday, so do come along! It was meant to be out this week here, but ongoing distribution issues have delayed things.

I made a new friend at the arena today. I have never seen a sea lion in the wild this far north before.

Trump has no idea what’s going on. He’s turned the WH into a gilded Assisted Living Facility with court jesters and a ballroom.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

New-to-me but very helpful visualizations how all the actions of the past ten months are affecting the CDC www.cdcdataproject.org

Immigration raids in California's Central Valley in January and February "coincided with a 22 percent increase in daily student absences" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

In exciting news, women of wizards erg will be hosting our first casual and learn to play space this saturday after @geekgirlcon.bsky.social If you're in town for geek girl con, consider coming out to play and bringing friends! #wotcstaff www.eventbrite.com/e/tap-in-lea...

Generative AI upsets me for many reasons but what terrifies me is the inability to implement/enforce guardrails for safety. Especially regarding children & mental health. Yeah. It’s a tool. But a tool never talked to a troubled teen before & made them think it was a friend. It’s huge and scary.

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs. www.vogue.com/article/teen...

To comply with a court order, the Trump administration is using the SNAP contingency fund but refusing to transfer additional monies to fund SNAP fully, which it could easily and legally do.

Toxic wastewater from oil fields keeps pouring out of the ground in Oklahoma. It has bubbled up near homes and a school — and it has killed farmers’ crops and ranchers’ calves. Help ProPublica and @readfrontier.bsky.social understand the full scale of the problem 👇

I skimmed the 60 Mins transcript. They edited out some of the crazier shit he said, and his glee about Bari Weiss and CBS’s “new ownership.” But Norah O’Donnell also just let him ramble and deflect and say crazy lies uninterrupted. In other democracies, interviewers don’t tolerate that.

The LA cops are celebrating in their own way: with a little police brutality, as a treat.

MaryBeth Lewis loves kids. She gave birth to her 13th & 14th at age 62. But to bring this last set of twins into the world, Lewis had to defy the law. So she lined up donors and a surrogate mother — by repeatedly forging her husband’s signature. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/m... (unlocked)

I have it!!! ❤️❤️❤️😎

I just watched a show about a detective who found a stolen leather bag in under 15 minutes. It was a brief case.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

President George W. Bush promised accountability for the alleged war crime. There were prosecutions and a trial, but in the end, nobody served a day behind bars.

The Trump admin is rewriting disability eligibility rules. Changes would fall disproportionately on some of Trump's most loyal supporters in red states. Most affected would be 50- to 60-year-olds without a high school or college education who have, for decades, toiled in physically grueling jobs.

This billionaire is trolling hardworking educators—and making jokes about gutting supports for special needs kids.

We be ready

Antifascist mutual aid request:

I was recently laid off by ARTnews, a few days before the theft at the Louvre. The terms of my TN work visa means I can't freelance unless I donate the funds to charity. I'm open to new FT roles in business reporting and communications, and am willing to relocate to other cities, including Toronto.

Check out their work art fiends. It'd be a shame to see such talent leave the arts

It's my birthday!!! I've reached 34yo! As per tradition you're most welcome to share this post and make my work famous for the day! 🥰 Love you all! Have a great day too!
