Today’s ICE thread in IL.

ALERT: DC watchdog group Public Citizen files 7 more Hatch Act complaints against Trump Administration for partisan messages on government websites during shutdown New complaints against CDC, Dept of Justice, FDA, HHS, Office of Management & Budget, USDA and White House

A right wing influencer was arrested after starting fights in Portland and blaming “antifa”. www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/u...

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

We hope to see central AR citizens TURN OUT!

The headline here is “Hegseth announces changes that will protect domestic abusers in the military.” Even though this is incontestably true, no news organization will use this headline, because telling the truth is deemed impermissible if the truth hurts the right too much

basically everything about this is wrong and horrifying but I'm stuck on the absolute fucking chutzpah you'd need to lecture professional military personnel like this after you personally texted wildly classified war plans to the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic

"The army has to be an inclusive organization in which every soldier, man and woman, is able to reach their full potential... those who think it is ok to behave in a way that demeans or exploits their colleagues have no place in this army." bsky.app/profile/did:...

If you can’t make today’s legislative hearing over changes to child-care vouchers, you can watch online at 1:00p: arkleg.state.ar.us. #ARleg

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

No surprise. Nothing at all would’ve happened without video.

having your business model depend on just not asking permission first seems rather rude tbh

📍‼️ I just knew it would be a country artist OR Taylor Swift. Bad Bunny being the choice has meaning, and I can string together 3 theories, immediately.

No kidding.

We assume only because he was “caught on camera.”

Just came from protest and then an emergency community meeting for Doctor Ian Roberts. #Iowa #ICE

"Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them...The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” ― Frederick Douglass

We just received more Epstein files. More proof the corruption runs deep. No matter your title, wealth, or political party, if you're complicit in abusing or silencing women and girls, we will hold you to account. We're going to keep fighting for justice and transparency. ⬇️

ABC viewers in Central Arkansas can tune into Jimmy Kimmel tonight, as Sinclair Broadcasting, parent company of KATV Ch. 7, reverses decision to remove late-night host to appease his conservative critics.

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Expect any non-citizen (for now) in any position of power to be harassed and abused on pretext by the secret police.

Painful to watch but we need to know how truly awful The Secret Police are.

He misses Blockbuster

“.. I absolutely couldn’t care less what he [Trump] thinks about me … He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.” @time.com time.com/7319963/bruc...

"I don't think a moral compass will let you ban books about..." STOP. Stop right there. What the books are "about" is neither here nor there. Censorship is wrong, period. And differentiating between books based on what they're "about" is just the thin end of the wedge.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

We love to see it!

This is no time to stop using your voice. This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings #Indivisible #IndivisibleNWA #Arkansas #NWArkansas

Do you realize how crazy it sounds to complain that comedians are making fun of the president more than they make fun of other people? Yes, the most powerful, most famous person is a more common target of mockery than some legislator in the opposition party. Why would you possibly find that odd?

Aw, geez. Cotton always sounds so *mean.*

I'm biased, but I thought Leah was on fire here.

"No right was deemed by the fathers of the government more sacred than the right of speech. It was in their eyes, as in the eyes of all thoughtful men, the great moral renovator of society and government." ― Frederick Douglass, activist and author

When you realize your dogs are republicans

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

If you ever had any doubt that rightwing media is just official state propaganda at this point, consider that Charlie Kirk was replaced on his show by the sitting Republican vice president who ‘interviewed’ White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. Independent media!

Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights. Timothy Snyder “On Tyranny” Lesson 10

Jesus Christ, what a clown. You’re going to recreate a note proving that the guy who confessed to the killing had planned the killing? Wow, great job, Codumbo. bsky.app/profile/thet...
