Yes, arresting a journalist for doing their job is a big flashing red light. But I don't want people to forget the whole reason everyone is out there. This is what I saw inside: Four holding rooms. Two smaller rooms were being used for holding protesters. Two larger rooms held ICE/CBP captives.

It's like sending the Smurfs against Sauron

Well, if we’re going to prosecute people for lying to Congress…

Kamala Harris predicted a lot of what is unfolding today during her campaign and yet so much of the coverage at the time was as if she was taking crazy pills.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

🤷🏿‍♂️

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

What the fuck is happening here www.iowapublicradio.org/ipr-news/202...

This is insanity.

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

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 👇

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

Hello fellow wild-eyed left wing radical associates, I too prefer the much more civilized "ANTI-ICE" phrasing over other, more vulgar variants of this which I have seen on "graffiti" and "tags" here and there in various urban neighborhoods - words I would never scribble on a <checks notes> bullet.

I can find no evidence that this is plagiarized as suggested. AI sucks, don't trust AI, don't look dumb.

DHS would like you to please stop calling these guys Gestapo and/or Naz*s.

Charlie Kirk's grieving widow had just left the stage moments before the fireworks for Trump kicked off. Just so wildly and blatantly inappropriate for a memorial service for someone else. Fucking nuts.

We don't put powers in an elected legislature because they're necessarily all that prone to getting things right. There is value if nothing else in that a few hundred people can't be as erratic, can't produce such destructive uncertainty, as one illiterate geriatric and his maladjusted consigliere.

That's a very messed up but telling train of thought.

The widely accepted narrative that Trump "chickened out" on Chicago is completely incorrect. ICE's incursions are getting worse here every day.

hey so this is insane

The data itself is questionable, for example the recent Minneapolis school shooter, who wrote neo-Nazi slogans like "Hail Breivik" and "Brenton 4 Ever" on their weapons, is considered "Left".

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple. It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

Can Jimmy Kimmel sue Brendan Carr, or other federal actors, for violating his First Amendment rights by coercing ABC to suspend his show, and maybe eventually to fire him? To teal deer it, yes, but without an effective remedy. /1

unreskeeted, canceled, re-reskeeted this probably goes without saying, but if everyone canceled and told them why, it might move the needle. obviously it doesn't have to be eloquent

Agreed, and I think part of this is Pritzker gets more than most how being the anti-Trump isn't trying to out-funny the funny man, to compete in the irony-poised joke game, to be another outlandish character. It's being earnest and serious about the stakes of a real crisis, like a functional adult.

SWALWELL: Did you ever tell the AG that Trump's name is in the Epstein files PATEL: The AG and I have had numerous discussions about the entirety of the Epstein files S: Did you tell AG that Trump's name is in the files? P: *crashes out* S: We'll take your evasiveness as consciousness of guilt

Really super that in the current shitshow the #1 hot debate about what to do next is apparently whether or not to put your email on somebody's list before you hashtag-resist.

Judge Kaplan grants preliminary injunction against unconstitutional and inhumane treatment at 26 Federal Plaza immigrant detention center. "[T]his is the United States of America. We aspire to treat all Americans—*and* those among us—with humanity." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.” www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

its also imo no longer acceptable if you wanna cover politics in 2025 to not understand the internet. saw a person on here the other day complaining about being confused by discord and its like, well…

Fucking madhouse. Also, scooter, it's "buffoon" but whatever.

In a jailhouse interview, deranged Trump supporter Vance Boelter, who shot Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, told the Blaze that he took jobs at funeral homes in order to get accesses to dead bodies so he could conduct covid-19 investigations.

LOL Kash says Epstein was the only perpetrator.

foghorn leghorn here says "Melissa Hoffman" about 5 times.

Wow this Kash hearing is a shitshow.

Yet again reminding everyone that the feds did not “back off” of Chicago

NEW: Chutkan called the Trump administration 'cavalier' about the fact that it may have sent five men to be persecuted and killed and said it may have been the Trump administration's goal. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

As a reminder, Taake is one of the dozen or so pedophiles pardoned by Trump on his very first day in office. For no particular reason ... #epsteinfiles

If ICE firing guns on a crowded street and slaughtering a man driving ~away~ from agents, a man who clearly posed no risk to anyone else Is not met with national outrage Its already-reckless agents will kill anyone, anywhere, anytime they deem it necessary It stops now or never

Prosecutors dropped their case against Cristian Carias-Torres, a food delivery driver accused of assaulting an ICE officer. He's since been deported back to Venezuela, but his attorney says the record of his "disturbing" arrest should be expunged, too. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Remember that delivery driver who was violently assaulted outside Bluestone Lane, which @marisakabas.bsky.social was among the first to report? His case was dismissed WITH prejudice, and now his attorney is asking his record to be expunged. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBJW...

I obtained the agreement, which was quietly signed on August 20, 2025 between Eyal Shalom and District Attorney Nathan Hochman. As long as Shalom complies with the terms, his charges will be dismissed. Shalom brutally attacked a journalist with a chemical agent.

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

This is so fucked. (And so predictable)
