Members of the community yell towards Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino and federal officers while they conduct an immigration enforcement action Friday in Waukegan.

AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats. "They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services" apnews.com/article/trum...

This is very likely a third-country removal to an African prison. Journey Aviation participated in four previous removals to South Sudan, Rwanda and Eswatini. We’ve been watching this plane as it sat in Arizona for a week.

A torrent of terrible news. At least we got sandwich guy.

Tesla shareholders voted to offer Elon a trillion dollar incentive. But whether he gets it or not is up to us. He's gotta sell millions of cars and robots to bring in that ungodly sum. If you want to block it, join us in the streets #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

I don’t have words for how grotesque this is. People are going hungry in this country.

Four union media workers were fired, in violation of their rights at work—that is a canary for all of us in this business. If we lose power at work, trust me it’s not any easier to hold anyone with political power to account.

Masked, heavily armed federal immigration agents arrested a US citizen in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot store, then entered his car and drove away with his toddler, who is also a US citizen, in the backseat. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

tried to spend $10 to buy eggs in Trump's economy but was turned away because I didn't bring my passport

less punditry and much more organizing.

Dire warnings about "transgender for everyone" may not actually speak to voters' top concerns, who knew

Good morning ☀️

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

just wanted to re-post this messaging that helped win an election

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election. DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg. His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-joh...

Has Cuomo moved to Florida yet

JUST IN: Democrats have swept the 3 supreme court elections in Pennsylvania. They beat back a concerted GOP effort to erase their majority; instead, they'll keep a 5-2 edge on this very important court.

Hi @schumer.senate.gov

Just wow 🥲

It hasn't sunk in to folks yet how truly remarkable it is that Mamdani won. It's absolutely incredible.

Amazing. The man isn't even mayor yet but he's already solving our trash problems.

FUCK HAHAHAHA

One of those rare days where scrolling feels fun

A true villain who never faced a shred of accountability for the violence he did to the world. Good riddance.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Love to fly in 2025, aka, worrying about unpaid air traffic controllers while sitting next to a white man examining a social media chart listing the most violent people according to nationality.

SCOOP: The Trump administration acknowledged they don’t know the identities of the people they’re killing; can’t meet the evidentiary burden to prosecute survivors; and consider those survivors to be “unprivileged belligerents." theintercept.com/2025/10/31/t...

I go to a 6 am gym class and on my way back there were folks already lined up outside our local food pantry. Four people who looked in their 70s — among them a man listening to the radio about the Mets. They pushed carts ahead of them.

BREAKING: Oklahoma County Judge Susan Stallings recused herself tonight from presiding over the 3rd trial of Richard Glossip, following an all-day hearing probing her impartiality. She's the third judge (and ex-prosecutor) to recuse since the state announced it would retry Glossip. Story to come.

“Very happy to be going home — I didn’t seek to be a media sensation, but here we are.” LARRY BUSHART (a liberal ex-cop) finally walks free after 30+ days in jail, getting his 1A rights violated in PERRY COUNTY for posting a Trump meme in a Charlie Kirk vigil Facebook group👇🏽

Update: The charges against Larry Bushart Jr have been dropped! About time.

lawyers who are appointed to represent people in federal criminal cases (these are private practice lawyers who handle public defender overflow - about 40% of all cases) haven't been paid since july. we barely have a government right now.

There’s a lot going on in this godforsaken country but if you have found yourself wondering “What’s up with Richard Glossip’s case?” here you go. My latest for @theintercept.com:

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

This is much-needed good news and so well deserved. Nashville has really become a bright spot for independent local media and we need it more now than ever.

The Sheriff's story about the arrest of Larry Bushart over a Trump/Kirk meme continues to fall apart. Sheriff claims the arrest was necessary because Bushart refused to "clarify" to local police that his meme wasn't a threat. The police department says that's not true. www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

New from me: Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong. This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

NEW: The Kavanaugh stop, 50 days later. "What a sick world." I asked Justice Brett Kavanaugh about his September 8 concurrence and the reality that has followed. Because he should be asked. He, unsurprisingly, did not respond. Today, at Law Dork:

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

Happy birthday @prisonculture.bsky.social Much respect and admiration for all you are and do and make possible.

When I was first finding my voice as a reporter, I learned so much from Radley's talent at weaving history, policy, and law into compelling stories. So it was a dream to do legal review for this project. Congrats, @radleybalko.bsky.social + @lauraflynn.bsky.social!
