ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Mars was the Roman god of war. That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.' Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices. That’s why we have Marshall’s.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process. prospect.org/justice/2025...

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term. They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

There is no evidence that breaking up the MMR shot would make the immunization safer or more effective. The reason why the acting CDC director wants to separate the MMR shot is to discourage people from getting vaccinated by creating larger hurdles.

New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

Good.

JUST IN: Chicago journalistsa re suing DHS and ICE over force used against reporters: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

the utter impunity of the police, backed up by the full legal and political apparatus of the United States, gave this regime an incredibly advantageous starting point in their attacks on American cities harder to get people outraged about ICE tactics when police already do this

NEW: Missourians are mobilizing to give voters a chance to block the state’s new Trump-ordered GOP gerrymander, via ballot measure. But Republican officials are pulling out all the stops to stymie the effort. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/gop...

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

1/ This is so f'ing outrageous. You cannot safely restrain people on their stomachs. They're going to kill people. This is very well known now.

The funniest thing about this is how legit terrified ICE looks.

After layoffs, it's unclear how many people are policing civil rights violations inside the Department of Homeland Security, even as the Trump administration ramps up ICE detention.

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

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...

ICE backing down from a dude (dudette?) in a frog costume. Okay then. Stay weird, Portland.

The Puerto Rican singer-songwriter addressed the audience in Spanish and called his upcoming performance an “accomplishment.”

Lawyers need to be more scared of being reminded that they are officers of the court.

NEW: Judge Immergut issues her written second TRO, blocking the Trump admin from deploying ANY federalized National Guard troops from ANY state in Oregon. (Full hearing thread below) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans. ICE is terrorizing communities.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon. There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified. This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

“… on October 6, 2025, the USCIS director is authorized to create new law enforcement positions which may … Carry firearms, conduct vehicular pursuits, and use force, up to and including lethal force, when appropriate.” www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/uscis-s...

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Wow, they did all that and got *two* suspected gang members? Suspected? Wow. And two of them? Wow. Plus a guy with a previous charge of marihuana possession? Wow. Wow, that is impressive. Wow, when are we throwing these heroes a parade? Wow.
