i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Ezra Klein is doing his best to turn the Dems into UK Labour. It is so stupid to think about but becomes more and more apparent with each new public output

An ICE agent has been “relieved of his duties” after he was caught on camera assaulting a woman in a Manhattan immigration court, DHS has announced. Although the agency won’t say if he has been suspended or fired. trib.al/JzUcR04

I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

OUTRAGEOUS behavior from the Department of Justice; a seasoned prosecutor was fired for reminding a Stephen Miller ally that he was required to obey the Constitution and the valid orders of a federal court.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

So, they're giving GOP congress members the green light to flat-out lie in spending negotiations, with the knowledge that the money won't get spent in the end.

Who wants 2 tix to the #USOC2025 Final on Wednesday at #Q2Stadium to see #AustinFC vs. #NashvilleSC? (A generous gift from a #Patreon member) TRIVIA: Who is the only member of the Lexington Sporting Club organization who has won the #USOpenCup? No spoilers! Enter here: thecup.us/2025/09/26/e...

we need to not just pack the court, but specifically humiliate and degrade the six conservative justices. we can take away just their clerks. strip them of their physical offices.

As a shutdown approaches and Dem leadership does its usual schtick, just re-upping that basically every fed employee I've heard from in recent weeks (anecdotal, yes, but still!) is pro-fight, pro-shutdown-if-necessary. As I wrote a couple weeks ago about NIH: www.gravityisgone.com/the-walls-ar...

Scoop: Trump fired a U.S. Attorney in Sacramento less than six hours after she told his California border patrol chief to abide by court orders and the Constitution while conducting his immigration raids. With @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

If someone from another country explained that their president could violate their constitution's plain text but that it was completely legitimate because lifetime judges who belong to political parties said he could on the "shadow docket," you would laugh at them because their country is primitive.

this story was very emotional to report but i just want to say how much i appreciate all the replies saying it looks like the ICE agent is about to shoot his dick off

ICE slowly & inevitably becoming a general purpose brownshirt mercenary squad doing MAGA dirty work.

More than anything, they want to be patted on the head and told they're a good boy by the liberal elites

What's really really great is pushing development further out, so you still get all of the traffic, except now it's through traffic that neither contributes to the vibrancy of your area nor pays taxes, but you still have to provide infrastructure for it. It's the best of both worlds!

this most "this could have been an email" thing i've ever heard

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

In the US, everything that *makes cities work* costs 2-5x what it costs in Europe and Asia. This includes, but is not limited to: -Elevators -Buses -Subways

Holy shit!

Only went there for the Snorkeling

there are two kinds of public housing advocates: those who actually want public housing, and those who just want to use it as a cudgel to block new housing

My conspiracy theory is that the violent people on the right were hired by ICE this year and that's why their recorded criminal violence has dropped.

I want public housing. And market rate housing. And mixed income housing. I just want more housing, it’s not that deep.

mr president, your contractor is taking you for a ride. the new chandelier is too big for the space. there’s no need to add gold to the door. the room looks worse without all the foliage. the marble floor looks like a room in the bellagio

It’s a tough time for political satire in America. It’s also a tough time for clean energy. I’ve been thinking a lot about Samuel Jackson’s “motherf-cking windfarms” ad. So, I finally wrote about it — and the future of climate-focused comedy in our democracy👇 www.canarymedia.com/articles/cul...

While I would be happy to be wrong, I suspect this incremental ADU reform will result in few units actually getting built because preserving aldermanic prerogative will create a patchwork of rules across the city and because the labor standards are not workable for these very small projects.

There’s sort of no excuse for the rail electrification being such a sleeper issue given the incredible success of CalTrain. sf.streetsblog.org/2025/07/31/c...

Here in South Bend you can build an ADU by right on any parcel with a principal structure with owner occupancy required for the "single family" zoned districts (this stipulation will be gone within the year)

Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.

Brooke Rollins: "Soybean, corn, wheat, sorghum, cotton farmers are facing very difficult times. We are currently in conversations here at the White House, across the government, on a farmer aid package."

Here we have a public official whose job is to manage part of a diverse city for its residents and they’re publicly denigrating a predominantly immigrant population for their very presence. This is just xenophobia.

‘He crossed that street 1,000 times’: Kensington father recalls his son’s last moments

MAGA has pretty significantly undermined our ability to deal with NVE as a society: the best preventative measure would be letting shooters languish in relative ignominy, and they’ve basically made that impossible. The media rightly don’t trust Patel’s FBI, content moderation has been demonized, etc

These are crimes. DOGE affiliates committed crimes. They stole our information.

boy if these people are whiny bitches now, just wait till Trump's fucks with the fed and spikes inflation

it's wild how much time dems spend figuring out how to hedge all their statements to not offend anyone when voters are this dumb

Another downgrade

It’s gotten worse, somehow??

Broadly speaking one of the great problems of the postwar era is American, Western European and Israeli politics insulation from the logical consequences of their actions

Wtf were they firing that uses stripper clips? Everything about this is sus

There is a huge moral panic from boomers about ebikes and scooters right now

The political power of the oil and auto industries is a direct result of the demand for their products. The climate movement would get much more bang for their buck by advocating for dense land use and public transit investment. Bonus: It would also decrease the influence of local auto dealers.
