ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good” trib.al/KhKsfSb

So this IL Hospital Association memo describes an incident where ICE detained a US citizen, gave them HEART PROBLEMS, took them to a hospital where the fought with medical personnel, then left when they realized they detained a CITIZEN.

i’ll never get over this

There’s one thing they didn’t plan for: I just sent a prompt for “Tilly Norwood but better.” She’s done.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Feeling unsafe and being unsafe are two, entirely different things. We should be clear on this and address them separately.

A Rutgers professor has been forced to flee the country for his safety, after targeting by a far-right student group that was *checks notes* claiming they felt unsafe. I'm horrified. I'm angry. A short 🧵 #AcademicFreedom #Rutgers #violence #antifa www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

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

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.

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

Miller’s and Hegseth’s primary responsibilities are elder abuse behind closed doors and public appearances that remind people how deeply deranged and weird they are.

The former spiritual advisor to a guy who bragged about watching underage girls change and who is actively suppressing the release of incriminating information about him in the Epstein files... just pled guilty to assaulting a 12 year old girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

I want to talk a bit about something this piece made really clear to me, that I'm sure other people have talked about. Klein here seems to be saying it's worth risking some people's rights in order to win (e.g. abortion, Trans rights), but he doesn't volunteer to sacrifice any of *his own*

There we are.

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women. Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted. And everyone in that room knows it.

This passage nearly broke me.

For context Hegseth was basically fired from every job he had, including resigning from his national guard duty because he had a Deus Vult tattoo. He got fired from all his other jobs for drinking and abusing women on the job. Heres a letter his own mother wrote to him about his treatment of women

Just read the whole damn thing that goes into the very depressing state of the numbers and the math that isn't mathing, but this is a very succinct representation of a specific type of feneric Executive (Dys)Function:

It’s crazy how bad dem leadership is when they can see how easy and popular it is to actually represent their constituents like this.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Remember that we’re being lied to whenever we’re told that we can’t afford something that benefits families. Just a couple of weeks ago Congressional Republicans voted to make ICE richer than most of world’s militaries.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

So top Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict. They said agents were firing pepper balls unprovoked and "without any apparent warning" When a Portland chief called a federal agent w/ Qs, the agent hung up. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

Sorry, but he can’t email this to the boys

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

“Trump has told aides he was worried some of his friends might be mentioned in the files”

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

Everything else aside, it’s so deeply fucked up to write “thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured” as if a crisis was averted when he knows there was a death and injuries in the shooting.

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

donald trump is going through full brandonization at an alarming rate

genuinely crying at this one

They're calling it the worst variety show ever
