Good night, friends. Tonight was deeply painful. We at CDC do this work because we care. It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

We took the freedom of speech away

Well this seems bad Noem announces gov't intent to purchase Chicago properties for ICE

Businesses are starting to put up this sign regarding ICE

"Soros" is just so hopelessly out of touch. He was the big international capital Jewish bogeyman when he had $20 billion and Elon Musk didn't. It doesn't really work when guys with $1,000+ billion between them regularly dine with the president.

Our city is under siege. Not from foreign forces [but] from... confederate apologists and antebellum fanboys. It is our responsibility to speak with moral clarity and a spiritual rooting... Faith over fear! ~ Pastor Otis Moss, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago www.facebook.com/share/r/1BBW...

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵 Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

👀Total blackout in Viktor Orbán’s Hungarian propaganda media: not a single word about our investigation uncovering Hungary’s spy network in Brussels — nor about the EU’s internal probe and the scrutiny over Orbán loyalist EU Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi's role. How strange!

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries. Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact. The administration is at war with Americans.

Commentary: This is the Ditch Principle: Your ditch neighbor may disagree with you about everything except keeping the water running — so you start there. These are rural lessons for resisting authoritarianism.

NEW: For years remote North Korean IT workers have fraudulently got jobs at Western tech firms. Now... they're also doing architectural work Files linked to North Korean scammers seen by WIRED show they handling floor plans, 3D CAD drawings, and impersonated architectural seals

Oh, sure, let's have Qatar set up its military bases on American soil--because we're all about America First, amirite?

NEWS: "Donald Trump is a pedophile who routinely raped young girls." MAGA: "So boring." NEWS: "Donald Trump is allowing Qatar to build an air force base in Idaho.” MAGA: “This is IMMORAL! What an outrage!!! I will not stand for this wicked behavior!!!”

Way to go Meat Head!!! Woohoo!!

RIFed: National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), Office of Director OD sets tone for the rest of the center, determine priorities, review high profile science, etc NCIRD focuses: Flu. Whooping cough. Polio. Covid. Meningitis. Yeah, you want this center to fully function 🤯

ICE GOONS crash into car and then point weapons to kidnap man.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi. David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison. Here's their story.

IT'S FASCISM!!

📌As we were saying ...

"She said to me after that - Samantha, 21 years old - all my life I've prepared for this moment. All my life, my mom, 53 years old, who was just going to get meat for a stew, has told me one day this could come." @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social talks ICE with @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Pod

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is. You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

“America First” means: •$20B to Argentina to screw American farmers •$38B to Israel for genocide •$??B to Qatar for new Air Force base in Idaho Meanwhile—US Service members stand in food lines because Trump’s government shutdown has them furloughed without pay. So much winning! Are we great yet?🤔

In his pre-cable life, @jenpsaki.msnbc.com worked in the Obama White House. @joelanderson.bsky.social asks: Should her old boss come off the sidelines and get more involved? Full interview with Psaki here: open.spotify.com/episode/0Nf2...

I see the GOP has issued its talking point about the #NoKings 10.18 rally, calling it the Hate America rally. My sign will read Love America, Hate Fascism. Fuck Ice.

Gutted that I didn't win the Best Actor Oscar this year, despite not actually appearing in any films over the last 12 months. I thought all I had to do was say that I deserved it and they'd give it to me. This has been a gross miscarriage of justice. I mean, who's even heard of Adrien Brody?

3 MAGA counterprotesters were arrested at ICE in Portland

Sen. Adam Schiff: I can tell you this: Those of us on the president's enemies list — and it is a long and growing list — will not be intimidated. We will not be deterred, we will do our jobs, we will stand up to this president."

Hits the nail on the head -

Well hello there, Real American. I thought you were all dead inside.

If what Trump is doing is legal - if his loopholes are technically real loopholes - the laws need to change. An if it's illegal, folks need to go to jail. No other options unless you want *all of this* to be standard American politics from here on out. @jvl.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

Very funny seeing people mad at me for endorsing continuing the shut down "You just want chaos" My man, I've never endorsed a shutdown before this lol. When the president is doing line item vetos on spending and invading American cities that's a real ass problem.

Happy #BannedBooksWeek! Author Nikkolas Smith reminds us that when they ban books about justice and equality, they reveal their fear—not our failure. The more they push back, the more creators will rise. Art is resistance. Stories are power. Keep the fight alive.

ICE agents in Chicago kidnapped WGN-TV camera operator Debbie Brockman, loaded her into a van with a New Jersey license plate. @booker.senate.gov Can you help explain? @jbpritzker.bsky.social did anyone give permission for ICE agents from NJ to invade Illinois?

BREAKING: ICE agents just abducted a press camera operator in Chicago. WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape. What the hell is happening in America? (🎥 Original footage via Josh Thomas/FB)

AS A PROUD MEMBER OF ANTIFA (CANADIAN DIVISION 🇨🇦) I CAN CONFIRM WE’RE VERY POWERFUL, VERY POLITE PEOPLE. STRONG MEN WITH TEARS COME UP TO ME AND SAY: “SIR, YOU AND HABEAS CORPUS ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS.” WE RECYCLE. WE APOLOGIZE. WE DOMINATE!!

Wow! Peru just removed their President!

ICE is already responsible for overloading shelters bc detained/fleeing families have to leave beloved pets behind. ICE will also kill a lot more dogs. I know @weratedogs.com is already bold in taking political stances, but any amplification of this carelessness could further grind down ICE's rep.

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE “Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

To all the fake Christians out there… We see you.
