“Musk’s data centers will probably bring in only a few hundred jobs to Memphis while consuming millions of gallons of water a day and more electricity than is needed to power all the city’s homes.” 1/2 www.wsj.com/tech/elon-mu...

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Congratulations to everyone running in the most beautiful urban marathon in America today! Hope and I crushed the 10 mile.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

in a new post, trump claims he has a 65% approval rating. he is trying to manufacture consent. don't let him: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

There has been basically no (public) reckoning with the democratic strategists who said that "raising the salience" of immigration/deportations in ~March would help Trump, which was obviously wrong at the time and has been proved wrong over the last 6 months www.gelliottmorris.com/p/kilmar-abr...

They ruined Google search for nothing

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

This from @govpritzker.illinois.gov on @cnn.com

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

Stephen Miller declares Trump-appointed Judge Immergut an insurrectionist for upholding the constitution — keeping him from mobilizing Oregon’s national guard without them

The regime keeps losing in court because what they’re doing is illegal

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

Thank God for Dogs

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Now that Tom Homan is border czar, his former business associate Charles Sowell is continuing to work with companies actively seeking to land a chunk of the $45 billion Congress approved to spend on immigration detention. ➡️ Read the full story: https://propub.li/3IusbGP

The Democratic establishment waffles about Trump’s police state while the NFL is happy to book the most anti-ICE superstar

The show of force highlighted President Donald Trump's unprecedented use of Border Patrol agents as a surge force in major cities, rerouting personnel who would normally be tasked with guarding America’s borders with Mexico and Canada

“.. leadership asked for ‘large, beefy’ agents to conduct an arrest of Comey ‘in full kit,’ including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” @macfarlanenews.bsky.social www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-arr...

Aside from Vance, who as veep is functionally unemployed, farming the approval of racist trolls for validation, this is their worldview: white people are true Americans and are entitled to be here, the rest of us are guests and must behave accordingly

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

I can’t think of a time I’ve seen JD Vance demonstrate gratitude for anything.

I bet some of you recognize the same behavior in your parents during your childhood and beyond. Once again, they don’t think it’s right. But it’s familiar. Most people are trained from birth to prefer familiarity or comfortability over moral correctness.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

“The Democrats need to empower messengers that the establishment is scared of, people who don’t delight megadonors.” Color me skeptical, but a good column!

“Democrats are depending on Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, two reasonable-seeming, compromise-oriented low-charisma legislators”. ‼️ This banger article by @mollyjongfast.bsky.social is worth clicking through to the NYT

"Democrats need to stake their claims on a set of strong beliefs, and see if Americans will follow. They need to stop being lawyerly and timid."

“Woke is good for business”

Hamas figured out that the US priority is putting on a show that casts Trump positively. Say something he wants to hear, he’ll promote it. You don’t have to do anything. In this case, say yes to an already changed proposal and leave details to be worked out, as if those details aren’t the hard part.

Here’s a gift link to my New York Times piece on what Dems can learn from bad bunny www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/o...

“Instead, the Democrats might want to ask themselves: What would Bad Bunny do?”

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social: "Let’s face it: Woke is good for business." And Democratic politics. What Chuck Schumer Can Learn From Bad Bunny www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/o...

The Democrats need to empower messengers that the establishment is scared of, people who don’t delight megadonors. Democrats need to stake their claims on a set of strong beliefs, and see if Americans will follow. They need to stop being lawyerly and timid.

Excited to join at 12!

Talked to @justinwolfers.bsky.social about those pesky numbers youtu.be/Zp1jZra7_wY?...

"'That fucking dumbass,' one of the senior Trump administration officials told Zeteo on Wednesday, after seeing a clip of Lutnick riffing on Epstein. 'I’ve worked with him ... He just talks and talks, and doesn’t care what unhelpful bullshit comes out.'"

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

Beyond the fact that legal immigrants and tourists can attend the Super Bowl, I find it absolutely hilarious that they're gonna have ICE harassing a bunch of rich people. Tickets are almost $10k. Please own the libs harder.
