feel like it should be a bigger story that the global war on terrorism is being replaced with a domestic war on terrorism

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

The death of Lia Smith shook many in the trans community to their cores, while online it seemed like the top priority of non-trans people was to insist there's no proof that the 21-year-old's ban from her beloved swim team caused her suicide. Re-sharing as it was one of our top stories this year.

“Go back to your country”: a close read(ing) ✊🏾✊🏾

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

If you say things on TV like "Raping an 8yo is worse than raping a 15yo" you should be launched into a volcano

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

I just am having a hard time understanding why we are doing this about Mamdani while the ‘Jews Will Not Replace Us’ Guys currently run every branch of government and have all the nukes

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Real talk: The American Right won the propaganda war when they convinced the world that people throwing rocks at tanks was terrorism. Everything that we're seeing now is a direct consequence of that. I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Oh my god stop reposting this I’m just being stupid

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Glenn Beck says that after he aired a show on Antifa, FBI agents acting on the behest of Kash Patel came to get tips. Here's who the segment targeted, largely through strained connections and guilt by association: www.mediamatters.org/glenn-beck/g...

Standup comic John O'Donnell does a better job explaining NSPM-7 than basically all of major media:

With Apple and Google loaning their app stores to authoritarians, our tech press should be asking: what are the alternatives? And why is Apple working so hard to suppress the web? But they are not asking those questions: infrequently.org/2025/10/the-...

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Happening right now. To us. In America.

it is useful not to lose sight of how, underneath everything else, hollow all of this noise is. portland and chicago are warzones, so i am dispatching a couple hundred best buy assistant managers there to quell the insurrections. potemkin stuff, paper thin

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

They’re moving quickly because they get less popular every day. They’ll never be more popular than they are now and they are extremely unpopular.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Apple did something very similar to the people of Hong Kong in 2019, removing an app that allowed protesters to track police movements via crowdsourced information: gizmodo.com/apple-sells-...

You sorta have to think of yourself as building a new counter culture to the capital death cult and that's going to mean you're in league with a lot of other weirdos, and you have to get comfortable with that. Or, if not comfortable, you simply have to acknowledge your job is solidarity not coziness

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Describing authoritarian acts as authoritarian doesn’t incite violence. Decrying fascist acts doesn’t incite violence. Dehumanizing language is a precursor to violence & genocide. Never call any person an animal, scum, bug, vermin, parasite, or garbage. www.ushmm.org/antisemitism...

They can’t win fairly with policy or eloquence or fairness or intelligence so they’ll just silence everyone who disagrees with them. It’s fascism but in its most cowardly and pathetic form.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

Fox News morning show co-host Brian Kilmeade apologizes after proposing lethal injections for homeless people with mental health issues.

"The Professor Watchlist is a straightforward intimidation campaign, and you can draw a line directly from Kirk’s work attacking academics to the Trump administration's all-out war on American higher education, an assault on the right to speak freely and dissent." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...

Charlie Kirk believed in the first amendment and so do I. Which means I can say (factually) that he was a misogynist, racist and transphobe. I can also say he did not deserve to be murdered. And best of all, far-right trolls can’t get me fired from my job. I’m an independent journalist!

Maybe the people who baselessly blamed transgender people for Kirk's murder and spread disinformation and hate should apologize. Folks like Nancy Mace, Don Trump Jr and WSJ

Reading much tonight on Charlie Kirk, who he was, what he said and believed -- from both admirers and those deeply opposed. It does not matter. None of it. What matters is that political violence made routine against any voice, left or right, marks us as a failing, dying republic. This is horror.

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others? David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC. apnews.com/article/deka...

Donald Trump pardoned multiple people who stormed the capitol looking to hurt or kill elected leaders like Pelosi and his own vice president Pence. But the right is really torn up about political violence. Really.

It is a fact that Melissa Hortman was a public servant who helped people of all stripes, and a demagogue who preached white supremacy was a selfish hate-monger who helped no-one.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

What Epstein records have not been made public?

They normalized calling for the death of innocent Black men. They normalized the fact that they can’t stop sexually abusing children. They normalized a traitorous violent assault on the capitol of the United States. And these motherfuckers want to pretend *word choice* is the issue? Please.
