I keep thinking about what a relative wrote to me on Facebook in 2021 the day before Biden’s inauguration (a mere 13 days after the January 6th insurrection). They never apologized. They never took back their threat. I no longer speak to them. But their words haunt me.

We’re on small step away from requiring every immigrant to wear something visible to identify themselves…..

The secret masked “police” are angry when they can’t kidnap people in secret.

Word to the wise: do not fly internationally into Logan. All of the major public detainments of Legal Residents and Citizens at airports have been out of Logan.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: Market happening despite weather.

New, from me: Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce 1. Purge - those deemed disloyal 2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military 3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

“The big advantage of bikes is that they go directly from where you start to where you finish, when you need to go. The advantage over cars is that they need perhaps 1/10th of the amount of space. Roads that jam up quickly with cars can carry effectively unlimited numbers of people by bicycle.”

What an unforgettable afternoon with #BensonBoone on the #BikeBus! The energy, the smiles, and the singing made it a ride we'll never forget.

“YOU hit HER.” CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

The hush money payoff to Stormy Daniels cost more than house Leticia James bought for her grand niece.

There are around 20 cars on my block in Providence despite it being home to 40+ driving age folks. With @ripta.com cuts, @govdanmckee.bsky.social grand vision for RI seems to be they should buy 20 more cars. We need a leader w/the vision & common sense to fund & expand RIPTA.

Make your plans for #NoKings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. You'll see me at one of the events. www.nokings.org

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Trump's deployment of national guard units is designed to provoke civil unrest where none previously existed. This is obvious. And now also a judicially determined fact following presentation of evidence and argument.

Cars. Ruin. Everything.

Military families on day 9 of the shutdown lining up at the food bank

‪Walter Olson‬ goes through the numerous and massive First Amendment and academic-freedom violations of Trump's proffered "compact" with universities and then talks about the mechanism by which it would be enforced, by way of what he describes as a "retroactive push-button guillotine."

@pvdcitycouncil.bsky.social paris proves if people have a safe place to bike, they’ll bike more than drive. Thus making the roads nicer for everyone who uses them.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago. She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

CHICAGO — WGN News editor/producer Debbie Brockman grabbed by Trump’s ICE goons.. who then intentionally ram a bystander’s car as they peel away. More: www.fox32chicago.com/news/wgn-new...

Lawyers have been publicizing a new term to describe ICE's racially targeted detainments: a “Kavanaugh stop.” Mother Jones reporter Pema Levy explains in this new video:

👻Boo! It’s time for another Fam Jam and we’re ready for a haunted, howling ride! Join us at WBNA/ @hausofcodec.bsky.social’s Halloween Extravaganza for a spooky spin around the West End, ending back at Dexter Park in time for the Halloween parade, costume contests followed by drag performances!

We’re firmly in the Anne Frank period of hiding folks from secret police who want to treat people like animals and drag them away.

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Hot new item. Flying off the shelves.

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”

"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statement"

Machado, a 58-year-old industrial engineer who lives in hiding, was blocked in 2024 by Venezuela's courts from running for president and thus challenging President Nicolas Maduro, who has been in power since 2013. Here's what we know about her: reut.rs/4nHaDpX

Thank you Brown for resisting.

Indicting political opponents & critics because they are political opponents & critics is terrifying. It's completely inconsistent with the rule of law & democracy. It should scare everyone - and (hopefully) will get people to realize that we all need to stand against this.
