This isn’t policing — it’s authoritarian theater… “So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

“She wished she had got the jab for her children, adding: “I wasn’t aware what was said about it was false…” She decided to speak out following the death from measles of a child in Liverpool, where an outbreak has resulted in at least 17 patients being treated at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.”

One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted. Reveal explores what happened to one Louisiana hospital when Medical Properties Trust came to town. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

lol

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Sophie and Colin Hortman, the children of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, have released a statement regarding their parents' death:

This is beautiful. It shows that Sophie and Colin Hortman take after their parents. Even in this moment of incomprehensible pain, they express love and gratitude and focus on goodness.

just realized our military protested with us 🫡 #nokings

Los Angeles is pretty great, actually. Great people, great city, great state. They are spinning fiction.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Here's a baby otter to start your week.

Chaos at a US Federal Courthouse as ICE abducts a man moments after his immigration hearing, people bravely tried to block the abduction. #3E

It’s on record.

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

A good opportunity for Democrats to drop their current message -- "We apologize for being Democrats" -- and pick up a new one: "We can have nice things."

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "It's reverse Robinhood. It's welfare for the wealthy. And it's a travesty that this [private school voucher] scam has passed into law here in Texas. But we should do everything we can to stop this from happening at the federal level."

Sending someone to a completely different continent on the opposite side of the world of their home country should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Canada is the friend who deals with a midlife crisis by going to therapy, giving up booze, and finding a healthy new partner. Meanwhile, we took up meth, got back with our toxic ex, and are currently driving our cybertruck off a cliff. (Congrats, Canada! So happy for you. 🥲 🇨🇦)

Dear god let this man cook.

I’m raising 2 Gen A girls and confirm that Elon Musk is being thrown around as an insult.

This is the way.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Trump has deported a four-year-old US citizen with a rare form of metastatic cancer without medication or consultation with their doctor.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

They better be careful what they ask for

Keystone cops

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.

Larry David appears to be responding to his friend Bill Maher here with this NYT Piece “My Dinner With Adolf”

@matthewmercer.bsky.social @samriegel.bsky.social

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

Coolest Subaru I have ever seen

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Nice try.
