"Provincial officials allied with the Trump regime have jailed a political dissident for over a month after he made comments on social media critical of the authoritarian leader and a recently slain political ally who founded an influential group to radicalize America's 'White' ethnic majority."

"No planning. No proposals to the National Capital Planning Commission. No opportunity for notice and comment from the public. Just Trump’s whim—and a beloved national symbol tumbles to dust. It’s obscene." @monacharen.bsky.social on Trump's White House demolition www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-mar-...

"What the fuck? How is this real? This is a nightmare"

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

“The [US] supreme court hasn’t wanted to be Churchill.” Levitsky said. “John Roberts has been Chamberlain. I think that is incredible destructive behavior.”

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

Deeply disappointed in my alma mater for this

Thanks Carl!

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

“This is perhaps the most extreme sign that the Supreme Court has abandoned law for politics,” he said in a statement. “There is no way under law to make sense of the vast new power the court has taken for itself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

Some federal agency and department websites are posting unusually partisan messages on their websites blaming Democrats for the government shutdown.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context.

Heartbreaking. Their disregard for human life knows no bounds.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “A strategy for remaking the Democratic Party is coming together — a coalition of moderates and progressives leaning into economic populism while leaving room to maneuver in the culture war,” writes Tim Shenk.

For those who were directly targeted by Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric, bipartisan tributes to him as a champion of free speech signal the mainstreaming of formerly extremist views, Nikole Hannah-Jones writes in an essay for The New York Times Magazine.

I'm not a big MLS fan, but I see the Portland Timbers are playing all their games and even doing pretty well, despite playing in a war ravaged city. And Powell's Books, the world's largest independent bookstore, is holding book readings pretty much every night. Impressive. Like London 1940.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

War ravaged Portland.

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...

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

Given other disturbing news, this @nytimes.com story about a chip deal involving the U.A.E and the Trump and Witkoff families is flying under the radar. But it's bonkers. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

What if Russia sends sharks with lasers on their heads and they grab onto the windmill at the bottom and then the centrifugal force hurls them onto our territory and then boom, there's laser sharks right on your street, President Trump is very concerned about that and every American should be too

Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Seven months into Trump II and state police are threatening an elected representative with a felony for communicating with the press.

These are lose-lose scenarios where you can either comply and be kidnapped (possibly by the federal gov’t, possibly by random vigilantes) or fail to comply and be treated with even more aggressive force.

So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?

Public land lovers succeeded in their drive to keep federal property off the auction block. Here's a recap of Saturday's events. www.lmtribune.com/local-news/l...

Sen. Mike Lee threw in the towel Saturday on his effort to sell federal land. His effort to mandate the disposal of millions of acres of federal land sparked an active and broad scale backlash from people sometimes on different sides of natural resource debates. www.lmtribune.com/stories/lee-...

Sen. Lee appears to have backed down.

Republicans are trying to move the budget reconciliation bill. Public land sell-off remains an obstacle. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A spokesperson for Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo confirmed to me that he is one of the four Republican senators cited by Sen. Steve Daines who have vowed to kill Sen. Mike Lee's public land sell-off provision in the federal budget reconciliation bill.

Sen. Risch reiterated is opposition to public land sell-off.
