A reader replied "Let me get this straight: Immigration enforcement eliminates the labor supply. Tariffs kill demand for American products. White House response is delayed by shutdown. Sounds like a well thought out plan to destroy the American economy." PROJECT 2025 IN ACTION!

A few pods to plug! The other day @slackbastard.bsky.social & me spoke to historian @mark-bray.bsky.social about Anti-Anti-Fascism. open.spotify.com/episode/1jgw...

I’m pretty sure Habeas Corpus is cousins with Prima Facie, who used to date Mens Rae.

One thing ChatGPT is good for in these troubled times: A chart mapping Ernst Fraenkel’s Dual State theory (1941) and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent against the Supreme Court majority's facilitation of the Project 2025 agenda.

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme" — Mark Twain. "Professor who teaches about antifascism moves to Europe after death threats"

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

“This is how fascism begins. It never says its name. It creeps, it floats. When it reaches the tips of people’s noses, they say: ‘Is this it? You think? Don’t exaggerate!’ And then one day it smacks them in the mouth, and it is too late to get rid of it.” — Françoise Giroud It's not too late for us.

Schiff: "You were asked whether you were firing career prosecutors just because they worked on January 6 investigations. You refused to answer that question."

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

Criminal investigation launched after feds fire pepper ball at CBS Chicago reporter's truck www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.” ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?

Once it was Bruno Mars I couldn't keep out of my head... sang his song in the shower 'til my kids made fun of me. Now it's a new song: "I failed the academy The cops weren't having me. The Army didn't sound that fun. So I found myself a paramilitary organization that was keen to hand me a gun."

Just a few days ago, the UN warned that 24 million people in Sudan are suffering from acute hunger, 630,000 are on the verge of famine. Yet not a single major outlet or activist has spoken up. Ask yourself why.

CBS News living up to its reputation and history.

My community will be horribly hurt by Republicans' healthcare cuts. But local health leaders and citizens fear speaking out about it because Trump and DeSantis govern through vengeance and intimidation. The GOP healthcare crisis and shutdown must end.

Boutique hotel in Lima, Peru, flies the U.S. flag Upside-down.

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this.

TRUMP'S Tyrannical Government Tactics, Read about it in People Magazine.

Well that's one of the fucking scariest things we've ever seen. Didn't even get much news coverage as far as we can tell.

I never do stuff like this but what the heck ... it's the start of a new era in public media ..

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

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

Give me an F... Give me a U... Give me a C... Give me a K... Give me an I.. Give me a C... Give me a E... What's that spell? What's that spell? What's that spell? What's that spell?

The chicken suit guy is right! "There were just four protesters on the sidewalk near the Ice field office Trump claimed was 'under siege'. One, wearing a chicken costume and draped in an American flag, held up a sign that read: 'Portland Will Outlive Him.' Passing motorists honked in appreciation."

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

An autoimmune disorder occurs when a body attacks its own healthy tissue. When a state mistakes dissent for disease and targets its own citizens, the result is a self-inflicted and all too often fatal wound. The end is not cure, but collapse.

My folks save hundred of dollars purchasing Eliquis (apixaban) from Canada or Australia, where it costs up to 80% less than U.S. prices.... but not anymore. All of us who have ACA healthcare are about to see our premiums skyrocket or disappear. That's Trump's America. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/26/u...

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

"If I am deported, I will leave with my head held high, because I am convinced it will be for doing my work as a journalist..." Today, Mario Guevara spends his birthday in ICE detention and could be deported at any moment. Read his letter from ICE detention.

No @jd-vance-1.bsky.social. You're not a Nazi. You're: 1. A double-talking demagogue who lies about and victimizes vulnerable people 2. A blood and soil nationalist who preaches that our Constituional Republic is in its end days 3. A shill for libertarian billionaires and ... 4. You're a Fascist.

This awful story has been overshadowed by the notoriety surrounding Charlie Kirk’s murder and the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel: Immigration advocates warned that the Trump administration would “disappear” migrants Now 1800 men detained at the so-called Alligator Alcatraz gulag can’t be located

Taking bribes? And as Trump chastises Bondi for not investigating his personal enemies more quickly, DOJ drops a real case ?

Onan, the perro del hortelano in the garden.

A recruiting ploy for ICE?

The president of the United States "is a bumbling dementia filled Alzheimer's corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America." — said a troll whose assassination should be condemned because political violence is unjustified. Resist!

“Celebration” and “glorification” are not legal categories, but for the MAGA acolytes capitalizing on Charlie Kirk’s assassination to “hunt down” critics, First Amendment doctrine is irrelevant. slate.trib.al/iVgz6zZ

We all know what to do...

Actually, the much maligned Jake Tapper sums it up extremely well. Yes. Follow the money. A corrupted FCC threatens the irregular $6 billion media merger if Kimmel isn't canceled. And Carr says it's for the public interest. He's the one who must be canceled, along with the entire Trump regime.

Excellent thread! Call ABC at 1 (800) 230-0229 and raise holy h'll!

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

Before Trump, the United States of America *was* anti-fascist. Antifa has no formal membership structure, no centralized organization. So who is Trump going after? Everyone who isn't a fascist. Lest we forget the book Trump kept on the night table by his bed.

So, Charlie Kirk was not a purveyor of hate, intolerance and disinformation and was instead a paragon of open debate and free speech, which is why anyone who says anything bad about the fellow needs to be identified and targeted so they'll shut up and maybe lose their jobs. Cool. Just checking.

When all protest is terrorism

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.
