I have never ever ever understood why TV/pool reporters let people get away with this. Why is not there a follow of: you haven't followed the biggest story of the day, really? WTF are you doing? and...I'm going to interview your CoS/press people to see if they talked to you about it?

The Atlantic is irrelevant

Hypocrisy = GOP

Michigan Avenue right now.

Copy and paste forever it seems

I wonder who pays for that

Seems kinda bad that all of a sudden the government is just Stephen Miller and the guy who wrote Project 2025

NEW: Judge Immergut issues her written second TRO, blocking the Trump admin from deploying ANY federalized National Guard troops from ANY state in Oregon. (Full hearing thread below) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

I learned about this new norm via Todd Miller’s book Border Patrol Nation (2014)

In July, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

This tactic is in the news again because ICE agents in Colorado were filmed breaking the window of a car with a baby in the backseat coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...

Accurate

Yeah at this point anyone against Project 2025 & 47 is a terrorist

Saw this on IG yesterday and knew it looked sus. The timing was way off.

Hundreds marched through Downtown Tuesday to protest President Trump’s latest threat to send troops to Chicago as well as his administration’s immigration enforcement operations. blockclubchi.co/4nU7XFb

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Thanks Obama

Another day of z1o terr0r1sm..... What's that noise? Oh sorry.....its silence from the White West..... #Zi0Terr0r1sts #SumudFlotilla #WhiteWestComplicity

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.

And people wonder…

I know of one case here in SD where a man went into custody healthy and now has serious injuries and needs a cane and surgery to repair other injuries from a fall down some stairs.

Wow. New depths. Must recalibrate.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

If you’re not worried about your kid being a victim to gun violence, you’re worried your kid will resort to gun violence.

Finally a silver lining regarding press freedom

In case you missed it, this new immigration enforcement dashboard contains detailed data from the deportation data project, no affiliation, and will be updated in the coming weeks with detainer data and detention data. Stay tuned and follow me here and on Substack for announcements.

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

What happens to stories about Palestine in U.S. newsrooms? Building on @laubast.bsky.social investigation, we invite you to join us for “Killing the Story” on Oct. 7 to discuss the experiences of U.S. journalists covering the genocide in Gaza. Register for the event: tinyurl.com/killingthestory

The COVID-19 pandemic should have shown us that we’re supposed to rise to the occasion by meeting needs, not fall in line behind fascist incursions, @williamcson.bsky.social writes in “Another way out.” If we cannot interrupt what’s unfolding before us, then we risk it becoming a disturbing norm.

Knowing how much oxygen we have left is also ripe for politicization 🫡

Mr Irrelevant is also Mr Out of Touch

A-mazing

This is not good

Can someone tell please tell us what liberal extremist views are and how they are equivalent to the extremist views of the right? Because this screams FALSE EQUIVALENCY

Whitewashing at its best

IMHO It’s always been their plan. Kinda like Israel pummeling Palestinians for decades until 10/7. But different. Here they are attacking immigrants and large urban cities who should be commended for their own restraint. They wish for escalation. That’s what the detention centers are for.

Bad timing, good timing....?

Absolutely. And they won't change. They will just ratchet up the transphobe rhetoric until they get the unrest that they are planning and preparing for.

The Trump admin has a new propaganda video claiming that DHS is "safeguarding our culture and shared values." Micah Bock, the Trump appointee in the video, was accused in college of rubbing his erection against a sleeping woman and claiming she was "asking for it." h/t @jasonpaladino.bsky.social.
