Jackson Chourio's NLDS:

This is the first game in postseason history where each team hit a 3-run home run (or grand slam) in the first inning

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Aaron Ashby, Antifa Supreme

That immigration agent who threw a woman to the ground, prompting DHS to declare his conduct "unacceptable"? He's back at the courthouse. And DHS still won't tell us his name.

If it doesn’t survive the washing machine or the dish washer, maybe it was never meant to be part of your household in the first place.

I'm also reminded of the "whistleblower" report about abuses at a Missouri gender clinic, the author of which is now just a full-time anti-transgender lobbyist, that fell apart the moment any reporter tried to verify it

I recently reported on an ICE officer who was publicly reprimanded and “relieved of his duties” after shoving a woman to the ground in an NYC immigration court. Well, he’s back. DHS did not respond to a request for comment. Original story: www.propublica.org/article/ice-... Photos: Carol Guzy

tz'fardea, tzedek tirdof.

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said. Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%. Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

It's a bad idea even if you think Israel is evil and should be sanctioned or chastised until it ends the occupation, because on its own merits October 7th was a catastrophe for Gaza that failed to achieve any goal but random pointless violence and cruelty.

Today's fun work mystery: over the weekend, somebody sent in an inquiry via the online portal we scrapped in development a year ago, which was never to our knowledge taken off the internal testing system and opened to the public. Huh.

The fact the mRNA research field is achieving so much medical progress, so fast--and in so many different areas!--feels like some Star Trek bullshit. It boggles my mind that it's real.

One of the biggest assets I had growing up was a mother with a gift for explaining not only *what* social rules existed, but *why* they existed and where they fit into the hierarchy of importance (i.e., when, if ever, it was socially acceptable to break them).

It’s not even 10 a.m., and so much has unfolded in Chicago: – Illinois sues Trump over the National Guard deployment – Mayor Brandon Johnson bans city property use for immigration enforcement – Journalists and protesters sue the feds over Broadview violence

!!!WISCONSIN MENTIONED!!!

The Supreme Court is poised to overturn 32 state bans on conversion therapy and explicitly legalize the abusive and torturous process. They don't care how many LGBTQ people this traumatizes and kills. www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/p...

Immergut deposed Monica Lewinsky for Ken Starr, was a US attorney under Bush, and was appointed to the bench by Trump during his first term. This is not some left-wing judge.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Start 👏 sanctioning 👏 the administration's 👏 lawyers 👏

Those who are so inclined to immediately dismiss all the seemingly grandiose reports of torture and abuse in the Israeli prison system should read this report from B'Tselem entitled: "Welcome to Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps"

She hath risen.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus. A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

The Trump Administration 🤝 The Toronto Blue Jays constantly humiliating Yankees

Last night, there was a suspected arson attack at Peacehaven Mosque. On Thursday, the attack at Heaton Park Synagogue. There is no hierarchy to pursue. Both tell us that the demonisation of minoritised communities must be dealt with, jointly together with the same vigour.

Genuinely inspiring.

This is *explicitly* the theme of R.U.R., the Karel Capek play that originated the term "robot" (which he derived from a Czech word for forced labor/serfhood).

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...

A big victory for Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s defense team.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Chicago, IL. ICE thug assaulting a US citizen for exercising his rights, lifting him by the neck and slamming him onto the ground.

A judge appointed by President Trump no less

People want antifascism to be both as broad as literally anyone who is against fascism and also a principally egalitarian movement with progressive goals and you just can’t have both. Many antifascists are despicable bigots whose bigotry is just still not fascism.

The people responding to a horrible attack on a shul in the diaspora with "This is about Israel-Palestine" are essentially arguing that Jewish existence and Palestinian existence worldwide are fundamentally irreconcilable. Unfortunately, the Board of Deputies of British Jews appears to agree.

This is a quite clear sign of where the state of Israel thinks its international support is going to come from, going forward. And it isn’t diaspora Jews. www.jta.org/2025/10/03/i...

Zodiac killer murders again, challenging legal bounds

"We" whomst?

I will laugh so hard if the Brewers outscore the Badgers today.

Brewers, I love the energy, but maybe save some hits for the rest of the series? This is brutal.

I wish I could say that this state behavior is unusual. It is not. The system HATES admitting mistakes

Indeed, and I'll add to this to specifically note that it in large part happened specifically because the likes of Benny Gantz prioritized Jewish supremacy over resolving the fundamental crisis at the heart of the Israeli state.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Excited for Brewers playoff baseball!

This is a point that is not known as well as it should, even among pro-Palestinians. The Kahanists, who were subject to "Cordon Sanitaire" in decades past and who killed Rabin, are now in charge of things.

Israel killed 66 Palestinians in Gaza TODAY.

"Rights of the [Sumud] crew members have been 'systematically violated'" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

The Torah commands us to welcome the stranger more than any other commandment.

“Those who have used the attack on the Jewish community in Manchester to call for today’s vigil to be cancelled, are wrongly conflating the actions of the Israeli state with all Jews" Damn right @zoeatshine.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...
