I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

It is so incredibly hard to watch Republicans gaslight. They are positively shameless. The lies flow so effortlessly for them that it makes you question reality. It’s like we are living in the Upside Down.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

It really can not be emphasized enough that "exaggerating the danger of the left" is a key, central tactic of aspiring fascists. Look back at every country that slid into authoritarianism & you'll find a campaign like this preceding it. Every time. It's part of the script.

Perfect time, finally, to eminent domain every last Trump property in New York City and turn them all into affordable housing.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Actual White House quote: “go fuck yourself.” Its not being some pearl clutching prude to ask whether this is really how most Americans want their kids to see the seat of our government behave. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Pair Portland’s troop order with Hegseth’s secretive generals’ meeting and you don’t get politics...you get the blueprint for authoritarian permanence.🔥👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

"Oregon Governor Tina Kotek urged President Trump by phone on Saturday to back off of threats to send troops to Portland. “Portland is doing just fine, and I made that very clear to the President this morning,”

Our homes are not warzones. Pay attention to Portland and Chicago. Learn the tactics feds use. The community here has protest tips and guides to help you be safe. Next, it could be your city or one close to you. Be ready and prepared. Peaceful nonviolent protest. Strength in numbers and unity.

it's a minor point in the whole scheme of things but it's pretty fascinating how american christians have invented a new religion that is not christianity and don't seem to recognize that they have done that

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Bravo Jim Carrey “He’s a used car salesman Trump did NOT make American great again But he did turn back the odometer” Every American of note must join him & our comedians & SPEAK OUT STAND UP TELL US THE TRUTH #CourageIsContagious open.substack.com/pub/demwinsm... #RemoveTrumpNow

National Lawyers' Guild of Chicago released this statement about federal agents' violence against protesters at the Broadview ICE detention Center yesterday. "there were three separate incidents where officers pulled out their firearms and pointed them at people"

After nearly 40 years, the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States, or ARCUS, will close September 30, a casualty of President Donald Trump’s proposed budget cuts and his administration’s f...

Justice Anthony Kennedy tells @npr.org's @ninatotenberg.bsky.social "very worried" about our country, and that "Democracy is not guaranteed to survive." Kennedy wrote Citizens United and was the fifth vote in the rest of the Roberts Court's anti-democratic decisions. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

She nails it 🔥 You’ve been silent about school shootings, but now you have something to say about Charlie Kirk being a good dude? Friendship over.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

It’s no coincidence Trump has ordered military to Portland shortly after the City of Portland’s press release stating it will issue a land use violation to the Portland ICE facility #DefundICE #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

I wrote about John Roberts as the chief enabler of the prosecution of James Comey—and how his jurisprudence gives cover to other sham investigations and prosecutions, like that of Lisa Cook, that judges simply have no power to second-guess for corrupt motive. nymag.com/intelligence...

If you’re worried about losing your health care, apparently Trump has a message for you:

I posted this 13 hours ago, and all four of these stories have been subsumed by stories of equal or greater absurdity.

it's a close thing, but the most vicious assault on our constitution right now is probably coming from the SC, not the executive. Ds absolutely have to commit to expanding the court, and/or to limiting its power (start with declaring shadow docket decisions null and void.)

Imagine a politician giving a speech down the street from an ICE processing center, telling protesters to "fight like hell," and those protesters then breaking into the center and smashing stuff. Clearly that wouldn't be his fault.

Trump looks upon all of us as his slaves right now, this should come as no surprise to anyone. Anyone not rich is simply chattel.

Come join Bill McKibben, Rise and Resist, and a room full of people who care about climate. No Trump pipelines! Let’s envision a New York running on clean energy.

#Pinks #ProudBlue The French had a whole Revolution because the government made it so the commoners had to pay ALL the taxes. Just sayin.

The US has declared war against IKEA

say what now? www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Please join us tonight, rain or shine, for a mass mobilization to make clear: We want ICE out of New York City. We won’t stop showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.

JUST ADDED: Indiana Gov. Mike Braun implies that the Trump White House is forcing red states to redraw district lines (gerrymander) and threatening to cut federal funding if they refuse.

They are just pranking us now…right?? www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikT...

This seems to be their angle. If there’s a shutdown they won’t furlough employees they’ll fire them permanently. The fact that this is illegal kind of isn’t the point these days. I don’t see why this is much of a threat. They don’t have to do this. It’s a choice. They run the govt. when things …

ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

What do we do now that we know it was Trump’s own people who caused this? Bomb the White House? Bomb Jesse Watters’s home? Will the stupidity of the right ever end?

Garcia on Tom Homan: Yet he is somehow possibly taking a $50,000 bribe to steer contracts—while at the same time trying to deport everybody else. I think a few folks have said it, but it bears repeating: he should be self-deporting himself.

Remember that new study? Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests… And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news: That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

We cannot allow this to happen. www.advocate.com/politics/her...

Some of us do.

If you are Border Czar Homans, and you did NOT take the $50,000 in a paper bag, wouldn't you been screaming at the top of your lungs that you want the FBI tape of the transaction released publicly in order to clear your name? Yet he isn't doing that. Hmmmm......
