the question to ask the republican majority on the court is “what CAN’T trump do?”

Republicans just cut Medicaid to give this guy a huge tax break.

Unfortunately, I don’t think this goes without saying: We should all be extremely skeptical of any “reason” ICE gives for detaining people.

They are trying to silence us.

Folks, we are moving into the “arresting and prosecuting” of political dissidents phase of fascism. It will NOT stop with organizations, it WILL move onto political figures. This regime is moving at a rapid pace in order to cement their power. I won’t be surprised if people are disappeared.

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

What the fuck?

What motivated Joshua Jahn, the gunman in the deadly ICE facility shooting in Dallas? Investigative journalist @kenklippenstein.bsky.social says many of his friends believed him to be "apolitical" and socially isolated. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/9/26/ken_klippenstein_dallas_ice

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

Anyways, join your local tenant union and read about the Tenant Union Federation's work organizing renters across the country:

It’s rich that Jay Parsons, the 'economist' who literally pitched RealPage’s rent-setting software, is now scolding tenant advocates to work “in good faith” for accessible affordable housing. Where was that good faith when RealPage was squeezing every last penny out of renters?

I think a lot of people jumped on the MAHA train early because "healthier" sounds good, without really knowing what it means, only to find out pretty quickly that this guy wants children to die

“Why are men so lonely”

I know there's a lot going on but this is a huge deal: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will stop providing abortions next week in an apparent bid to keep accepting Medicaid. The GOP budget law "defunds" PP affiliates that offer abortion care after October 1 We broke the story on @autonomynews.co

Seems bad www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

“Mr. Eichler and Capital Realty Group have the opportunity to do the right thing... return to the bargaining table and sign an agreement with the unions. As of now, they are failing to do so,” @taraghuveer.bsky.social www.bisnow.com/national/new...

check out the latest organizing strategy by @taraghuveer.bsky.social

A tenants union is organizing renters at apartment buildings throughout the portfolio of a single private equity firm owner — an attempt to bring sectoral bargaining to negotiations with large landlords www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Some of us do.

Today I called six Texas Children’s Pediatrics locations to see if my daughter could get the Covid vaccine. None of them have it. Some of them are no longer offering it. They are the largest pediatric group in the U.S. and they are putting children’s health at risk.

“They’ve been holding emergency meetings trying to cohere around Cuomo. In the primary they dropped millions of dollars into the Cuomo-aligned super Pac – it doesn’t seem to be working.” @tenantbloc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We’ve had a number of thoughtful conversations about how to get you to stop selling the stock please ok thx

Probably worth us all saying: Charlie Kirk was a bad person, who said bad things and had bad values.

So it's fine to joke about some people—just as long as none of them are powerful white American millionaires who built an empire while fanning the flames of hate and bigotry? So it's only funny when powerless people die. Got it!

NEW: There are videos of Trey Reed, who was found hanging in a tree on campus at Delta State University, the DSU police chief says. “There are videos and they’re in the hands of the investigative team,” he said. It's not clear whether they show his death or not. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

really thought I was making good progress saving money until I paid all my bills

Still, we understand that in the current political climate, and considering Mississippi's history of lynchings, it's terrifying that two men were found hanging in trees on the same day. So, while both cases remain under investigation by police, we'll keep a critical eye on them as a news org.

In the DSU case, I have seen people accuse DSU Campus Police Chief Mike Peeler and/or the coroner's office (led by Randolph Seals) of covering up a hate crime. I'd point out that both Peeler and Seals are Black. That doesn't mean they're infallible, but these aren't Jim Crow authorities either.

AND NOW THERE IS A THIRD BOAT

'Inherently racist': Texas' redistricting map cuts Houston's Black Democrat representation in half www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/hou...

ive been mulling over this since Kirk's death. if we really, truly, want this type of violence to end, we have to be honest about what's going on. and that involves saying some not very nice things about the right

The Reaction is Asymmetrical open.substack.com/pub/annehele...

i wrote this post in july two years ago when blue sky had around 200,000 total users and i thought i would ask again tell me what u are doing be proud of what u do and share it here

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

look at this bullshit.

Already tripping all over themselves.

The Charlie Kirk shooting happened essentially as another school shooting happened a state away

I encourage everyone to look out for their safety and practice good internet hygiene, of course. But some of the scolding posts I've read suggest we can change the awful aftermath of a fateful event by just holding our tongues and being quiet little mice, and that isn't my experience.

Charlie Kirk, one of the leading proponents of anti-LGBTQ and nationalist policies in the United States, has reportedly been shot in Utah.

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

🔥🔥🔥 The Tenant Union Federation is uniting tenants across state lines to confront the power of corporate landlords. TODAY, tenants in Connecticut, Michigan, Kentucky and Missouri launched a new campaign demanding better conditions from their landlord, Capital Realty Group:

Breaking: Missouri House passes new gerrymandered US House map giving GOP 90% of seats in state Trump won with 58% of vote. Destroys district held by Black Rep Emanuel Cleaver, one of 2 Dems in state Texas was just start of Trump’s sweeping plan to rig midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When you live in a gerrymandered state, you can’t just vote better. That’s the point of gerrymandering. To take away your vote and voice. To silence you.

Last fall, I investigated this landlord, Capital Realty Group, for allowing over a dozen tenants in one New Haven complex to develop severe respiratory conditions from untreated mold. Now, Capital Realty's tenants across the U.S. are unionizing to improve conditions inthesetimes.com/article/mold...

BREAKING: Hundreds of tenants across four states are waging the first campaign in recent memory to bargain with a shared private equity landlord across state lines For @inthesetimes.com, this is the Tenant Union Federation’s effort to win a historic interstate lease inthesetimes.com/article/priv...

A new campaign from the Tenant Union Federation is uniting hundreds of tenants in four states to take on the mega-corporation that owns their homes. New report from @thomasbirm.bsky.social @inthesetimes.com on how tenant unions are taking on private equity landlords.

National Guardsmen now stationed outside our DC building confirmed that the only thing they can do if they witness a crime is call 911. The have no more authority than my office mate to intervene. Despite the handcuffs, they can't make arrests. They are very expensive mall cops.
