Hot take but I genuinely think that global Jewish attitudes on the war shifting is a stellar example of how good faith debate within communities built on relationships with shared humanity and trust at their core can in fact be an effective stage and means of change.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

It's true, last night the streets around the ICE building were filled with smoke, whole streets were basically impassible. Solely because of cops launching chemical weapons at a handful of civilians who were peacefully protesting, well within their constitutional rights.

Make peace with liking what you actually like. Nothing else is worth your time.

One of the things about the US being so fucked up on immigration right now (among other things) is it helps mask the fact that a lot of countries are being really really fucked up about immigration right now. They're just being a bit less terrible than we are.

so is this the fight against "left-wing terrorism"?

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

So a short tally - the Trump administration has pissed off 1. the military 2. air traffic controllers 3. the police 4. farmers

Imagine pissing off the cops

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

It is a cascade of inhumanity unconsidered by its authors and truly monstrous in its details and breadth, and I hope everyone will consider that EVERY SINGLE DETENTION is a repetition of this complicated, terrible torture of innocents.

Today, I drove an hour and a half with my wife and a couple friends to pick up a neighbor who was summarily, inexplicably arrested by ICE at a check-in ten days ago and then just as inexplicably released, 100 miles from home today. It was a happy occasion, all things considered, but...

I *don’t* think it would do well, at least compared to other options, but if it did well enough, it has the potential to do a lot more good.

Two people in balaclavas torched a mosque in Peacehaven, East Sussex. This is not far from where I live. Fascists are in an open war with Muslims and people of colour in the UK. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

Are those my pants on the floor? How did they fall off? | Analysis

There have been many news media failures of late. One of the biggest, however, was the DC/political press’ eagerness to launder Trump’s denials about his support of Project 2025. Shameful behavior.

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

Zodiac killer murders again, challenging legal bounds

wow I wonder why my entire body was in the air in the first place

The only bathroom ban I support.

Also good on @cbschicago.bsky.social for running the footage of press being tear gassed and protestors including @katmabu.bsky.social being brutalized. Quick before the "Free Press" era begins.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

"just upload a scanned image of your drivers license no big deal"

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

Israeli propaganda doesn't *force* y'all to see Diaspora Jews as ambassadors of Israel any more than Israeli propaganda forces you to see Palestinians as subhuman. If someone rejects hasbara on the second point but adopts it on the first, they weren't "not allowed" to do otherwise. They chose.

me, a small farmer: Small farmers in the US aren't poor. Most are middle class at LEAST. Here's the data if you don't believe me City Folks(TM): But have you considered all the Details? This info distresses me. Therefore you, Small Farmer, must be mistaken ppl from farm country: haha I know right

This entire thread explains one of the REAL reasons I'm so pissed about this whole Bluesky CEO Waffles mess. I liked that meme. That was a good meme. The waffles tweet from years ago was a *good tweet*, and they are DRASTICALLY misusing it and turning it into a freakin' dogwhistle for their ingroup

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

FBI cuts ties with civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center By Joseph Ax October 3, 2025

Snapped this pic of DHS conferring with the IL state police just before ICE attacked the crowd, while state and county police assisted them. ICE said, "This is your first and only warning" and then instantly attacked. We were not in the road at that time. They just wanted to assault us and film it.

State cops literally assisted ICE in assaulting and arresting people who had been actively complying with the demands of state police. Folks were on the sidewalk, and ICE marched up and attacked the crowd for a photo op. IL state cops helped. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must be held accountable.

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW: (Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122 (Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831 Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336 I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

Now that Bari Weiss has ascended to a powerful position at an influential network with a PR machine, I am seeing outlets that cover media like Puck and Mediaite present her as a "centrist" who might even challenge Trump. That is such a deep and willful misreading of her oeuvre.

When I say their incompetence may be what saves us, this is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Nashville ruled that the Department of Justice’s criminal case against Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be a form of punishment against him for legally challenging his abrupt removal to an El Salvador megaprison earlier this year.

Etsy must be basically broken, huh

Live your life so you don’t get nationally famous because you make your living hanging out at the hospital, looking for immigrants to arrest.

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

As noted, this is across from an elementary school. Reminder: tear gas toxic af for children and causes breathing issues and is also abortifacient. They want to kill people.

This was taken two nights ago outside Portland’s ICE facility. According to the Trump administration a guy in a chicken suit counts as a reign of terror.
