Tomorrow, 6pm

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

In two days

The GOP simply doesn't want new people to join us. Especially if they aren't white. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/o...

Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there: www.404media.co/two-weeks-of...

"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

So is it worse for OpenAI if their service being down causes major disruption or if barely anyone notices?

Free speech includes the freedom to identify Trump's secret police officers when they disappear people in public

United States of Corruption

They’re all just looting the treasury now

Why stop with the legislature? The executive and judiciary need transparency as well!

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ. It's a surreal--and troubling--read. drive.google.com/file/d/1Is6x...

This Thursday, 6pm, Cambridge

The Supreme Court just refused to stay this young girl's removal to Venezuela, uprooting her from her life in Texas to a foreign country where neither of her parents currently live. Sotomayor and Jackson note their dissents.

"About 80 protesters have been arrested at the ICE facility since barricades went up. Protesters and legal observers say the arrests run counter to the state’s stated goals of ensuring public safety and protesters’ rights." blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/12/p...

Yeah, "Circumstances Left Teen Vulnerable to Exploitation" is a very odd way to write "Matt Gaetz sexually exploited vulnerable teen," or "Republican Congressman sexually exploited vulnerable teen." I wonder what would cause a newspaper to write it in such a passive voice.

More places should do this:

The Black Response and Impact Boston will present The Criminalization of Self-Defense, a community education event on Thursday, November 20, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM at The Community Art Center in Cambridge, MA. We are proud to be one of the sponsors of it. masspirates.org/blog/2025/11...

you'll never guess which side

haha remember that multi-year stretch where MAGA threatened Silicon Valley giants with fake antitrust inquiries unless they kissed the ring and stopped moderating racist right wing propaganda, resulting in a lot of gullible tech press stories about how the right was going to "rein in big tech?"

They are cosplaying as an occupying army because that is what they are

The GOP has always been a neoliberal party that wants poor people to die. They offer nothing, but largess for the rich and immiseration for the vast majority of people. Many Democrats are just GOP-lite.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Chucky, but real

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

If the Biden administration had sent federal agents to do a law enforcement operation 10X milder in a white suburban neighborhood in order to apprehend a serial pedophile and violent domestic abuser who happened to be a white Christian pastor, the MAGA crew would have reduced the country to rubble.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

As a bookstore that sells pamphlets and magazines, the criminalization of such materials feels pretty close to home. So let's take a closer look at the materials the federal government is claiming tie readers to "antifa terrorism." We can pick out six titles in these grainy photos. 1/

Their time is so important, they cannot waste time to write coherent emails ... and yet: "I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter." - Blaise Pascal

DOGE ATE MY HOMEWORK

Photojournalism is not a crime

“Just the day before he was detained, Ya’akub had recorded and participated in a city council meeting in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, where he spoke out in support of local community leader Marwan Marouf who was detained by ICE, according to a court filing from his legal team last week.”

New: We analyzed prison rules and sanctions, and gathered accounts from incarcerated people, to reveal how DOCs use disciplinary policies to punish people for menstruating. www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2025/11...

Proper security culture is essential to all kinds of organizing—especially today, when Donald Trump has pledged to focus federal agencies on attacking anti-fascists. Print out this zine version of our guide to security culture and distribute them everywhere! crimethinc.com/zines/what-i...

Reminded of all the banksters who didn't go to jail for all of their rank corruption after they crashed the world economy in 2008. Both parties protect those who commit fraud and they foster corruption. Of course they would cover Trump's ass.

ah the good old days

And often lack transparency which fosters corruption

Perhaps a 5 Eyes break up is in our future

The bounty hunter enrichment scheme. The physical (and legal) standards will be even lower than what is expected of new ICE agents.

Spooky season continues! And is seasonally appropriate with the little turkey hats. Just add a sign advocating for #RankedChoiceVoting to send a chill down the spine of the political elite 👻 @universalhub.com

The group of Senate Democrats, including Minority Whip @durbin.senate.gov, who caved to the Republicans also caved to letting GOP Senators pay themselves out of the public fisc for being investigated for criminal activity. Most Americans reject corruption and there will be a reckoning for this.

If we are paying for them, then they are public records.

Anyone who looked at the history of Baseball and the betting scandals of early 1900s could have told you that bribes would result from allowing sports gambling.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Just sayin’, if you call it “Elon Killed These Half a Million People,” more will watch it
