This WILL NOT mitigate any problems, and the state should not be pulling this shit. @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you've talked a big game about opposing Trump, and now the state is pulling this? "Free speech zones" exist to make protesters irrelevant. Everyone knows this.

Do not look away. This is what devastation sounds like. I worked with some of USAID’s brightest, including many with disabilities, who built hope from nothing. That hope is shattered. The inhumanity of this regime is unforgivable.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Seriously. Fuck these fascists. Join a No Kings protest on October 18 and stand up for our rights and our democracy.

"This is a very race-conscious administration. It just happens to be the case that its policies, its prescriptions, its advocacy, its project is in service of whiteness. ...Whiteness is a race, too. It's also an ideology," says @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social. newrepublic.substack.com/p/race-and-r...

Chicago, Illinois, 2025: "They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van." "They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other." "I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'" abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Mayor of Broadview, suburban Chicago site of an ICE processing center that local folks are daily protesting, said this: "You are making war on my community.

Trump’s invaders are already causing chaos in Memphis, engaging in pursuits with no siren on, running red lights, wrecking innocent folks’ cars. How is this making Memphis “safe?”

Democrats are standing up for Americans' healthcare. Republicans are frantically making up lies about illegal immigrants because they know their Big Ugly Law is extremely unpopular. Lying is their entire strategy, and it's being exposed.

Blue State elected leaders need to really start talking about building, economic, and mutual aid blocks now that it’s clear the federal government is going to defund any state that is not capitulating. Taxes need to be collected only by the states and the federal government must be left to rot.

Even Jon Brodkin, who is generally good on telecom, doesn't clarify to readers why this free school kid Wi-Fi program was really killed: big telecom doesn't like the precedent set by government offering people cheap or free broadband.

No. And it’s way more than 1/3 of Americans. More like 95%. Plus, it’s ONLY white Americans who have the power to stop this. But they lack the collectivity to do anything about anything that’s happening, in any event. They have no concept of how many fellow white Americans there are in the U.S.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

Millions of veterans got this email from the official VA account with a blatant political smear and lie about the government shutdown yesterday. This is a massive violation of the law and federal regulations using our government resources for political actions.

"Why don't they just apply for citizenship?" This is a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the United States. But the pathway to American citizenship for the vast majority is long, complex, and financially draining.

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

Incredible that they put this in writing

Nearly half of Americans say it's harder to afford their groceries now than it was a year ago, a warning sign for Trump and Republicans. High food prices disproportionately impact working-class voters, the very people Trump promised lower grocery prices on the campaign trail last year.

EXCLUSIVE: In her first interview all year, Susan Monarez, CDC director for only 29 days, tells me why Trump/RFK fired her and where this is all headed. The CDC director is an “inherently political position, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be politically compromised”, she tells @nature.com.
