The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.” This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

I spy @bradlander.bsky.social at UN Headquarters today protesting Netanyahu

Collectively we have so much power. That’s why we are constantly pitted against each other.

NEW: By inflating numbers and narrowing definitions, the Heritage Foundation is promoting a false link between transgender identity and violence in a push for the FBI to create a new category of terrorism. By me & @couts.bsky.social:

The first "Superman" animated short by Fleischer Studios premiered on this day (Sept. 26) in 1941! Technical marvels and skill-fully crafted, this series of 17 animated shorts have left a significant mark on both the Superman mythos and the animation industry itself! #FleischerSuperman #Superman

Even if Democrats were insisting that they wouldn’t fund the government unless Trump personally underwent gender reassignment surgery on live TV, that doesn’t change the fact that Republicans run the entire goddamn government. This is 100% on them.

(snicker) They realized that YouTube figures have made their opinions obsolete. And their own financial backers are about to start punishing them for a tantrum that failed to pay off.

continuing to run the UBI experiment 14,000,605 times every decade in search of one time it ever won't produce clear positive results for everyone involved so there can finally be an example for the ultra wealthy people to point to illustrating why we can't do that like they've always been saying

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

The MAGA monocultural revolution is so thorough that Hegseth made it a priority to honor soldiers who carried out war crimes in 1890.

Can emphasize enough what a ridiculous show of force this is for immigration enforcement.

Watergate-level high crimes and misdemeanors happening every day www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u... Right out of the authoritarian playbook.

What's happening could not be more open and explicit. If you displease the regime, they will bring criminal charges against you. Ask your immigrant friends what it's like to live in a country where the rule of law is a fiction and your freedom depends on the whims of a dictator.

You've heard me talk about it. You've seen me write about it. And now it's your chance to pre-order my forthcoming book Coverage Denied! Combining survey & administrative data with extensive interviews, my book highlights the harms caused by coverage barriers. Hope you'll read it! cup.org/4nfM2IM

Turns out not being mad that a far-right hate influencer got shot is NOT a fireable offense if you are a teacher or professor. 1A wins again.

For my Burns Notice newsletter, I wrote about what it was like being a trans person and see the entire right wing try to incite pogrom on us over the last several weeks. burns-notice.ghost.io/what-am-i-su...

I hope this makes it around to as many cis folks as possible. The amount of ignorance out there regarding what we're facing and how this moment feels for all of us is staggering.

@chrisrabb.com is what PA needs - a politician who puts voters first, above the party & above corporate $$ (which he takes NONE of). *If you live or vote in PA or you just like fierce and fearless politicians*, follow @chrisrabb.com Help him in his run for Congress. I know i will! #RepRabbForPA

This administration very literally favors Secret Police.

Discworld QOTD, from Moving Pictures "‘Pedigree? Pedigree? What’s a pedigree? It’s just breedin’. I had a father too, you know. And two grandads. And four great-grandads. And many of ‘em were the same dog, even.’"

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

“Terrible ratings” Kimmel had 13.3 million views on YouTube and 5.6 million on Instagram for his return on Tuesday.

😡😡😡

Here’s the truth: Trump and his policies are extremely unpopular. His favorability rating is at -17 and has been dropping steadily since inauguration day. The more the American people see, the more they are rejecting his extreme agenda and looking for someone who’ll fight for them.

Pete Hegseth, the same guy who texted classified war plans to a reporter, wants to decide what the media can report at the Pentagon. The First Amendment is clear: the government cannot stop a free press. This order is unconstitutional and un-American.

They’re doing the exact thing Duterte is being prosecuted for right now, except with even less evidence of drug dealing

Congratulations @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social! 🔥 🐺

So busy playing tough on crime on Fox that they screw up actual prosecutions of actual criminals

So can we go back to the part where the orange felon admitted that his regime was involved in getting Jimmy Kimmel fired for exercising free speech and that he plans on trying to get him fired again for the same reason by suing ABC?

Yes bsky.app/profile/sifu...

This is a time worn tactic in the conservative-adjacent motivational speaker/business mindset/MLM speaking circuits. You mix in your ideological or scammy advice with some sensible (if obvious) advice to get people to more readily accept the thing you care about.

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Awful. Just awful.

this insane space plutocrat was in charge of the whole government for like six months, probably killed a lot of people worldwide, compromised essentially everyone’s security, and made everything infinitely shoddier but no less expensive. And he is the guy who’s supposed to take us back to the moon.

good job chat we successfully bullied a major corporation to the point that the late night host they canned is making jokes about it in his return monologue american fascism versus the cancel subscription button: who will win

Kimmel comes out of the gate with a Tylenol joke

Kimmel: "Can you imagine? This country has become so authoritarian the Germans are like, 'Come here'"

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"
