A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

Everybody opposed to authoritarianism and oligarchy should needs to stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers who are likely going on strike starting November 13 This is a winnable fight — but it'll take all of our support to help workers get past the finish line

Sarah McBride should have the same kind of security detail House leadership has. J0seph Phi1lip Danie1 belongs in a cage. That the U.S. Capitol police don't have a TAS on his ass every time he's within 10 blocks of the campus is a disagrace.

John Fetterman looks like something the Flintstones would use to cut grass.

There has been entirely too little scrutiny about the fact the American Starmerism media elites have been advocating for has been a political disaster for UK Labour. We have a contemporary blueprint for how they want Dems to govern!

Some on the far right want to repeal the 19th amendment. Many more share a coercive, patriarchal view of women. I wrote about this and how the far right sees subjugating women as key to building the sort of electorate they need to win. @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/women-should...

FDR would've felt incredibly vindicated by all of this. A core proposition of the New Deal was that the country's ruling class was incapable — at best — of defending the Constitution, and that it was up to a dissident vanguard of intellectuals, in conjunction with workers and farmers, to do it.

if dems were anything like the gop, sandwich guy would speak at the next dnc and throw free sandwiches into the crowd

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

The Binches are great

“Could we have a Mamdani in LA?” Nithya won in 2020 with more votes than any councilmember in history. Eunisses won in round one as a prison abolitionist with the party saying “defund” was a dead end. As with everything, good or bad, LA been out on the cutting edge

Absolutely heart wrenching account from inside the Adelanto Detention center. A few excerpts:

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Chuck Schumer's inability to say whether he voted for the Democratic nominee in a general election in his city is the final straw for @ryanlcooper.com. prospect.org/2025/11/06/c...

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

There are no words for how evil this is

The existence of any billionaire is a policy failure. The existence of a trillionaire is obscene

what a headline www.404media.co/nancy-pelosi...

Anyone want to bet that this is a direct result of those DOGE minions completely compromising government systems? I got a dollar says it is.

The gym is playing a dubstep remix of “last resort” I shit you not

Jury trials remain a bastion against encroachment, too bad immigrants instead get fake judges and no juries

Ah, the healthier Americans

His appetite for the goop is boundless

This guy creeps me the fuck out. His eyes are a dead dog’s eyes. His face is a plaster mask.

they keep pulling this cutesy bullshit where they reverse all the injunctions and stays "during litigation" so that all the horrible shit can continue, and who knows when they'll actually get to the case, while already having set precedent anyway

Lmao

I just spent an hour chasing these ICE jagoffs through Bridgeport. They detained and questioned two old Chinese ladies (clearly dangerous criminals) then let them go. They are terrorizing the entire neighborhood. There have been people abducted this morning. I'm beyond enraged.

HP Lovecraft: now i don't usually pay a lot of attention to New york city Lovecraft: that seething, teeming metropolis Lovecraft: which i have been told is filthy with asiatics and saracens Lovecraft: but i'm just glad that new yorkers rejected the italian menace

because he is

I am not a mathematician but I think that would put us firmly in the realm of negative Americans

Federal judge blasts Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino for lying and extends an order restricting his agents' use of force in Chicago. blockclubchi.co/3WJRPe5

Ellis: "Requiring the government to comply with its obligations under the Constitution, in particular the Fourth Amendment, is simply not a harm."

Bovino is a Chicago villain in the tradition of Henry Rhines, the 1840s Chicago cop who spent most of his energy trying to find people who’d escaped slavery (or at least looked like they had) and pretending he had the authority to arrest them. A NY paper called him “a degraded drunken wretch.”

Stunning story by @jesspish.bsky.social: He became the most famous sheriff in the U.S. after his hunt for his wife's "real killers" inspired a $60 million 1973 blockbuster ($430 million in today dollars). It was all a lie and his hometown can't deal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

These guys are absolutely too fucking dumb

This is one of the most baffling paragraphs I’ve read in a minute

“Could we have a Mamdani in LA?” Nithya won in 2020 with more votes than any councilmember in history. Eunisses won in round one as a prison abolitionist with the party saying “defund” was a dead end. As with everything, good or bad, LA been out on the cutting edge

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

And to think, none of this would have happened without combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell

I imagine it’s because those crimes are dwarfed by the number of identical crimes committed by actual immigration officers

"[O]nly the people can save themselves." "I've seen communities organize here in ways that I haven't seen in all my years of organizing." "It has to be an entire village to take [ICE] on, and LA is a massive village." #California #Illinois #USA #Protest #Policing #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

American Jewish institutions have not even begun to reckon with the degree to which they’ve torched their credibility over the last two years. We’re pretty much going to have to rebuild from scratch
