it is interesting to me how the MAGA right has a balkanized view of the United States that does not, at all, correspond with the reality of the United States

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

This about sums it up.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Quantico was a speech about crafting a society of warrior men hostile to the principles of liberal democracy and willing to do violence for the MAGA cause.

“The law says he can’t do it so it’s not clear whether he can” is such a 2025 headline

I’m on the ground at a prayer vigil near the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

Flock is preparing to roll out a new feature: Its gunshot detection devices will begin listening for voices in “distress”

The regime is deporting an Atlanta journalist and being pretty open about the fact that it‘s in direct retaliation for his coverage: “An immigration judge granted Guevara a $7,500 bond in July, but the government filed a stay, claiming that his reporting on law enforcement activity was dangerous”

He was here legally this is 100% punishment for his journalism about the growing protests against the Republicans fascist regime. This is textbook authoritarianism and an assault on all of our rights.

Don't have full confirmation on this yet, but hearing that Guevara was sent to El Salvador this morning, which is just fucking shameful. He was here with legal permission and this was 100% punishment for his journalism about protests.

New: The CDC acknowledges that pregnancy, in and of itself, is a high-risk condition for severe Covid. Yet it removed its vaccine recommendation for pregnant people without other conditions. Its contradictory messaging, plus the Trump admin's broader actions/inaction on vaccines, has reduced access.

@universityofga.bsky.social and @gtathletics.bsky.social, if you fall for this, we the alumni will never forgive you. GT class of 2013 UGA Law class of 2017

The fact that an agent literally said "fuck them kids" is just icing on the unconstitutional cake. They enjoy being able to play badass while they terrorize neighborhoods.

"During the Biden administration, there were 26 deaths in 48 months—roughly one death every two months. During Trump’s term, that rate has nearly quadrupled." Immigrants are dying in detention in unprecedented numbers. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-moral-...

Yeeeessss!! The nonprofit law firm, @ij.org , that is doing this is my all time favorite legal advocacy group. They could use our support.

Come to the table?! When the killing machine runs out of gas, don’t refuel it!!!

I get why people recoil from the word. It’s ugly, it sounds extreme. But you know what’s uglier? Pretending this isn’t happening until it’s too late to stop it.

“WaIT fOr thE mIDtErMS!” - Democrat leadership @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

It’s hard to explain how bad you have to be acting to get all of these people on the same side.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Twain’s theory of irreverence explains, to a degree, why MAGA has had so much success against columnists & news anchors, but so little against comedians & cartoonists.

Honestly I’m not displeased with this outcome. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov shouldn’t have written that letter in the first place. Don’t keep playing basketball against a team that thinks pointing a gun at your head is an appropriate way to take the ball.

This is the best the two party system has left us for “resisting” authoritarianism. Absolute garbage from @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and all the other democrat leadership. I know people in poverty fighting harder for freedom than you. Shame on you.

Tariffs since Trump’s 2nd term began were billed as “America First”—instead grocery & household costs are surging. Over the past 6–8 months, consumer prices have risen steadily, driven by higher import costs passed to families. budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2025/...

GOP cries 'free speech'—but only for racists, misogynists & Trump. Using the FCC to silence dissent is cowardly & shows the weakness of the 47th president. Impeach. Convict. Remove. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Hakeem and Schumer sending a letter to Trump requesting a meeting to discuss a path forward 8 months in to Trump's second administration shows they're not leaders. They're collaborators.

Act now. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

The weakest minds, the biggest blowhorns

If the media won’t cover us, the people will. This Friday in DC, be there. Stand on the Mall with us. Let the march end in a roar too big to silence.

Heeeey @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, do you want to… uh save the world? Seems like something you could do. Just sayin.

On July 4, 2025, dozens died in Texas amid extreme weather—made deadlier by cuts to NOAA staffing & data programs. 6 former NOAA heads warned Trump, but he ignored science. When forecasting fails, lives are lost. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/w...

Did the Democrats forget to elect minority leaders because I haven't seen any leaders recently

Hey look @democrats.senate.gov and @housedemocrats.bsky.social ! It IS possible to stand up to this killing machine.

Sounds familiar @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov. If we still have real elections this time next year, yall need to pack your bags. We are done with cowards.

HBCU campuses have been safehavens since their creation. I’m not sure why or how they have become a target today, but it is not ok. My heart aches for the constant trauma that students consistently experience simply because some lack the courage to do better!

You know what would be good FBI experience for identifying violent criminals in a large crowd? The agents who investigated January 6. Who have been/are being fired.

Just watched my husband watch 12 Angry Men for the first time. 1) nothing changes. That movie came out in 1957 and every part is the same. 2) that movie is amazing. The filmography, the writing… the hot ass Peter Fonda. And 3) my husband is adorable.

From Ronald Reagan’s final speech as President. 36 plus yrs later, what Reagan says here about America is something today’s Republican Party vehemently opposes.👇

The Indiana Supreme Court rejected a lower-court ruling that would have made it more difficult for journalists to recover attorney’s fees in public records cases, relying in part on a friend-of-the-court brief filed by @rcfp.org.

That press conference was so powerful. Wow. Hoax? Hard line to sell, fellas.

The Brechner FOI Project and MuckRock are seeking proposals for Sunshine Fest 2026! If you have speaker suggestions, topics you’d like to hear more about and other input as we begin planning for the in-person conference, let us know! ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Hey people who understand social media: does anyone who wants make TikTok videos have a couple hours a week to volunteer with us for impeachment/anti Trump work? We know it’s important but … it’s hard!
