I know #IU football is really fun (for the first time in my adult life) and it's really easy to feel good about IU. I am begging alumni to get involved and help make a difference in what is happening there. #IU is now the worst-ranked public univesity in the nation for freedom of speech.

At Oakland #NoKings, I asked Justin here if, as a Black man, he had particular concerns w the Trump admin's actions. Loved his answer.

My favorite sign at the Montclair NJ No Kings today:

TODAY — At the No Kings rally in Chicago, organizers recognized the work of independent news outlets including The TRiiBE and Unraveled Press, and nonprofit newsroom Block Club Chicago. Video: CBS Chicago

Most effective sign at the “No Kings” rally in Bethlehem Pa.: “Somewhere in America a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.”

Lots of pissed grandmas at the Radical Left Marxist Communist Hamas Soros-Funded Hate America rally in Minneapolis.

This is GOLDEN!! 💙🙌

Chicago #NoKings was amazing, so proud of this city

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Great turnout today - right now! - in Barcelona, protesting Trump’s dictator actions. We will restore democracy. I estimate we’ve had ~250 people here, though some more have stopped through. Barcelona has just over 7,000 residents who are from the U.S. #notyrants

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting. Now the official line is crumbling. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/2019...

On April 1, ICE apprehended 47 people — including 9 children — at a birthday party in Dripping Springs, Tex. The agency’s only disclosure about the raid describes the operation as targeting people believed to be connected to the Tren de Aragua gang. 🧵

My memory is quite the opposite. “No kings” has actually worked out really well for the American economy for centuries. It’s the arrival of a would-be king that has shut everything down.

Yesterday, white nationalist paramilitary forces attacked another Chicago neighborhood with chemical weapons. Families and at least one infant were gassed. This morning, they are kidnapping more immigrants both here and in other metros (D.C., L.A. still being terrorized).

It's just ... I mean ... he can't ... do they know ... what is even left to say

The Chicago forecast for Saturday, October 18 calls for a high of 72 degrees, which is not conducive to ICE. The Chicago forecast also calls for tens of thousands of protesters in Grant Park — also not conducive to ICE. See you downtown on October 18.

Chicago. Pretty cool town

MAGA is Arabic for “Qatar First.”

The Son of Sam is sparking debate that dogs order humans to murder romantic couples but scientist say the evidence is lacking.

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

Once again I’m reminded, trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets.

I hope this is a historic piece of writing. You should read it.

They told jokes the right way. By Ezra Klein

Downtown Chicago, today. The little girl …

50 masked bastards rolling through downtown on a beautiful Sunday to snatch a handful of street vendors

Another Kavanaugh stop.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

What the hell is happening with Jeffries. Adams should be in prison right now for corruption. He is only not in prison because Trump illegally ended his court case. In no way do you have to hand it to an obvious criminal

Thought I gift linked to it. Here you go. READ it. Your welcome. GIFT. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

This is terrifying.

"And they are adamantly opposed to recognizing bad faith, so they let themselves be used, over and over, in an endless attempt to find reasonable common ground with political forces bent on division."

Probably 40+ border patrol some holding automatic weapons on South Michigan Avenue just now 12:20 pm. Fully masked. #NoIceInChicago. @icirr.bsky.social @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social

Let's go one more round with this piece. I just returned from Dublin and Belfast. If the NFL thinks that Ireland is thrilled to see them land on their country, they are sorely mistaken. The crowd is US-based Steelers fans with too much disposable income. Abundance! www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This is the 20th time the Supreme Court has granted an emergency request made by the Trump administration since January. That's TWENTIETH.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Every day I am stunned by the depth of Republican cowardice. I guess I should be used to it by now.

I ❤️ @mattbelloni.bsky.social for this. The ethics of Hollywood are basement level. Same for tech (see below a column I wrote in 2019).

Seattle Children’s is laying off over 150 staff and slashing hundreds of open positions. Why? Because of Trump and the Republicans' health care cuts. Republicans chose tax breaks for billionaires over care for our kids. This is Trump’s America.

"What’s so maddening about Disney’s capitulation on Kimmel isn’t that it’s cowardly and unjust in itself—though it’s both—but that it’s part of a growing chain of similar capitulations."

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

BREAKING: Federal judge tosses out Trump's lawsuit against the New York Times, Penguin Random House, & journalists, finding that the complaint violated court pleading rules due to its expansive, over-the-top, "tedious" use of language. An amended complaint can be filed without all of the BS in it.

Disney CEO Bob Iger’s wife is Willow Bay — dean of the USC School of Journalism. I wonder what she thinks of Bob Iger suspending Jimmy Kimmel & firing ABC News’ Terry Moran for the crime of offending Donald Trump.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

It’s deeply unfair to call today’s fascists “fascist” or “Nazis” just for doing bad things German Nazis did in the 1930s to advance their fascist project. And you better not say “fascism” or the fascists will come for you too!

this is the shit i want to see
