Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral. Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.” By @tilleckert.com

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism. ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees. One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help. He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

No words. Actually, just one: GOP.

AOC stars in new ad urging California to vote "yes" on new redistricting map. "Donald Trump is redrawing election maps to force through a Congress that only answers to him ... With Prop. 50, we can stop him."

They just mean Brown people . They absolutely will attack people for being the children of immigrants . Guyana is one of the most targeted nations And people will absolutely be reporting Black and Brown people just because they are “where they shouldn’t be”

*Sigh* Not a day goes by in which he doesn't embarrass himself.

I never let myself forget that JD Vance "creates stories" just to get attention... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

“CNN identified more than 100 US citizen children, from newborns to teenagers, who have been left stranded without parents because of immigration actions this year …” www.cnn.com/2025/09/23/p... #FamiliesBelongTogether

What authorities never seem to understand, if you lie to people as a matter of course, you musn't expect that people will believe you.

My debut for our @freepress.bsky.social! pressingissues.org/trumps-attac...

Profoundly embarrassing.

Every damn day now a crazy rant from the guy who can't pronounce acetaminophen.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump uses platform of presidency to promote unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without new evidence.

According to the president other countries don't have/use acetaminophen. But, of course they do, it's just called paracetamol in a bunch of those places, not acetaminophen.

Good God, this country is cooked healthwise. This press announcement is so incredibly embarrassing. 😵 I have a headache. I think I'll take some Tylenol while I still can.

Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in South Jersey and Philadelphia watching the concert on Saturday weren’t just watching a livestream, but taking part in a global homecoming, writes Joa Rojas. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

"Trump is remaking the country in his image: crude, harsh, gratuitously mean... The price of admission to Trump’s America is aggressive compliance, the sort demonstrated by more and more universities... Something is dying: the sense that we know our country." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/o...

We should all have freedom of movement, to seek a better life for ourselves and our loved ones, and especially to get out of an unbearable situation. Some people vote like they're billionaires-in-waiting, but we're actually all asylum-seekers-in-waiting.

I always have mixed emotions about Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month, but this year, given the harms the Trump administration has inflicted on Latino communities, it is much harder than usual to feel celebratory. My column: www.inquirer.com/opinion/hisp...

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”

If you don’t measure or count the hungry then there is no hunger right? This was Trump’s approach to testing for COVID too.

Every statistic about how bad the economy is getting is going to be buried or cooked by the end of the year. Quarterly earnings reports shifting to semi-annual earnings will ensure private companies don’t inject reality too often by talking about declining sales, etc.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

He really can't get over the fact that he's not the first U.S. pope, can he? 🙄 Utterly delulu. Cardinal Dolan calls the late Charlie Kirk 'a modern-day St. Paul.' I'm not making this up. www.ncronline.org/opinion/card...

"Free speech comes with consequences, but the government doesn't get to have a say." www.inquirer.com/opinion/gove...

"The Trump regime shredded the First Amendment in forcing Jimmy Kimmel’s show off the air. Our “leaders” still don’t get it." www.inquirer.com/opinion/jimm...

"When ABC announced it was indefinitely suspending the late-night Jimmy Kimmel show under severe pressure from the Trump administration, I recalled Vladimir Putin’s deep hostility to Russia’s beloved satirical puppet show Kukly...which lampooned him as an evil gnome" www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

"It has come to this: The president of the United States is leading the strangulation of free speech. And many institutions continue to fall in line." www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...

It was weirdly fitting that the Charlie Kirk murder blended into the 9/11 anniversary as once again Americans were told to “watch what they say” The hypocritical censorship around a “free speech hero.” My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

"Trump himself seems to relish the occasion as a pretext to attack civil-society organizations not to his liking." www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/r...

🚨 Today is the LAST DAY you can leave a public comment for the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, which meets Sep 18. Reports suggest they may falsely link vaccines to child deaths and restrict vaccines to ages 75 and up. You can submit a written comment here: www.regulations.gov/document/CDC...

Lawyers for five migrants deported to Ghana last week accused the Trump administration of using deportations to the country to violate court-ordered protections for their clients, echoing the case of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

None of the 11 people killed in a US military strike on a boat in the Caribbean last week were members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Venezuela’s interior minister has said, while US media reported the attack came after the vessel had turned around and was heading back to shore.

"It is for us to decide whether the assassination of Charlie Kirk becomes another stone in the avalanche of national decline, or a crossroads that reminds us what is sacred." www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Happy birthday to Ruby Bridges, who is the reason I was even able to pursue proper, fair higher education. What she had to endure as the first Black child to integrate schools was unimaginable. I will forever be grateful. ♥️
