A San Francisco Supervisor wants to amend a landmark surveillance law so it is harder to sue police when they spy on you illegally. Police are not above the law and this policy change will result in one thing: more illegal surveillance. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Anyway, happy weekend. We will outlast the greedy, ignorant little fascists currently in charge, because their project is horrific but it is already a failed one, and history proves it to us. I hope this gives some of you a little more hope than you had when you woke up this morning.

They also cannot touch the archival materials that other countries have saved about our own history. Their plan to rewrite history has already failed. They just don’t know it yet. I’m not discounting how bad it will get or how much danger we are all in. I’m saying that their task is impossible and

We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word. If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people.

You asked for it—and we heard you! The Sprawl is making all our Calgary election zines available digitally so you can print them out at home. Share them in your neighbourhood, your workplace, wherever you can think of! #yyccc

The creation of the DHS was an overreaction to the events of 9/11. Experts gave many warnings about the creation of this big department. The bill comes due. Always! The DHS and ICE must be disbanded. There is no redemption, no fixing. Many agents must be held accountable someday. Criminally.

The Department of Homeland Security has begun targeting unaccompanied children in the immigration system with what they call a “voluntary option” to return to their countries of origin. via @laist.com

The Committee for the First Amendment first launched in the 1940s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee accused Hollywood actors, directors and writers of being communists or sympathizers.

A court has ordered Utah lawmakers to redraw the state's districts for U.S. House seats. Some citizens are offering their own versions. via @kuer.org

We heard fun and engaging podcasts on topics including how math teaching has evolved, what its like to disengage from technology, and, who has it better: kids or grownups?

Feeling exhausted this fall but still want to celebrate all the good things the season brings? We've got a list of simple ideas to make your lead-up to Halloween feel warm, restful and a little eerie.

Global climate chaos and the looming end of the fossil fuel era are leading so many people to take a very reactionary (bring back the “good old days”, aka MAGA) position. Trump and many other authoritarian leaders prey on public fears about the future

Breaking News: Protesters who gathered at Elizabeth Caruthers Park in Portland for a planned demonstration at noon marched to the nearby ICE detention facility and blocked the road in front of the building. Soon after, federal law enforcement fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.

At 0:20, three agents pick him up and slam him head first into the ground. There is no justification for this, they were trying to seriously injure him

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

This!! I study conservative women in Oklahoma in the 1970s. It’s not that they are “voting against their interests” it’s that the act of being conservative in those spaces is will to power & indeed the only way of obtaining & holding power within a structure of dominance that they have committed to.

They also can hold contradictory views simultaneously, like how the J6ers were patriots who did nothing wrong, but also Antifa deep state terrorists.

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.

did not predict dartmouth would be the first on this list to tell trump to fuck off, but i'm not complaining

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I have ONE more spot available for my November commission queue! I will be closing at the end of today. If you are interested, please reach out asap! 🌱

NEW: The Santa Clara County Office of Labor Standards Enforcement has released a report "Working Conditions of Restaurant Workers in Santa Clara County." This report is further evidence that the BoS must waste no time in moving forward with the #FastFoodFairWork ordinance already moving.

"I think in a free country we should be able to post onto the internet, 'hey, there are masked agents on Broadway and Vine and not have the government or the tech oligarchs prevent us from doing that.' Shame on you, Tim Cook." @radiofreetom.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

Get this done ASAP if you want to retain the abiliy to hold Discord accountable!

LP Member & Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes was arrested this afternoon for protecting an immigrant neighbor as they were recovering in the hospital. This is the THIRD local official this year ICE has brutally arrested for exercising their duties. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

The mega-rich can masquerade not wanting to pay more in taxes as caring about fiscal health of their countries, but the reality is this: They don't want to pay more in taxes because they benefit from hoarding as much it as they possibly can. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

Keep your phones ready to document injustice.

The Sun-Times *is reporting these were live rounds* fired at a vehicle. There's been much confusion in the immediate aftermath of this about whether whether they were that or pepper balls, and whether person in vehicle was hit by them. This is the most current info we have *at this time.*

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

So, because she’s had what you judge to be a good life, she needs to bend a knee to fascism? Is that your claim, JD? God, what an asshole.

Exactly. The MAGA base *wants* their leader to fit the model of an abusive dad.

Big “you should smile more” energy. Will surely win over women. He is such a racist misogynistic creep.

This is also a tool for effective silencing—or even worse, for disciplining others' speech to the speaker's purposes—since this rhetorical gambit is to override & sideline whatever the target is saying substantively & force them into a discourse that denies to them the presumption of belonging

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Federal officials said this happened in Broadview (not in Chicago, the location of an ICE processing facility) but it apparently happened in Brighton Park, on Chicago's West Side (15 miles away)

Even MAGA is starting to see through the cloud of BS the GOP is kicking up over healthcare, the shutdown, and the relationship between these two things. And if the GOP successfully ends the tax credit, their voters who use the exchange will not be happy. bsky.app/profile/sjon...
