Reports from the Miami Herald reveal that a staggering 1,200 people have gone missing from just this one facility. Alcatraz is now drawing comparisons to Auschwitz.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

As a former federal employee I understand the impact that a federal shutdown has. It’s traumatizing for the employees and their families, it is incredibly inefficient and a waste of US taxpayer dollars. Nevertheless, if this is what it takes for Democrats to fight back, I’m all in.

Under John Roberts and Clarence Thomas, the "Corrupt Six" undermines the Constitution and American values through support for a criminal with serious allegations.

“I’m so happy” 🇮🇹 Italian drivers stuck in standstill traffic because of the massive nationwide pro-Palestine protests are… completely fine with it

I don't know how to make it clearer to Dems that the more you waffle on this and invite debate, the more it's a political vulnerability. The more Dems equivocate the more they invite these types of heinous ads. You either stand up for trans folks proudly or you get hit with these ads.

🟡 NEW: Thomas Massie says Mike Johnson and “some of the powers that be in DC are in full panic right now” about his push to release the Epstein files. “They asked some of my colleagues who are co-signers, and they actually threatened them politically, not physically."

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)

Please join us tonight, rain or shine, for a mass mobilization to make clear: We want ICE out of New York City. We won’t stop showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.

If Californians don't pass Prop 50 on November 4th, Donald Trump will rig the 2026 election and steal control of Congress.

DOGE’s effects are even worse than we initially realized. Months after Elon Musk departed, Social Security is suffering extensive damage, with the cuts hitting local field offices the hardest. trib.al/FWZX3k7

The United States has swiftly retreated from global health leadership. In @lemonde.fr, I share why this retreat will have serious repercussions worldwide.

I have loved this man my entire life!

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

California doesn’t go down without a fight. Point blank.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

To leaders around the world: California is your stable and reliable partner in fighting the climate crisis and protecting our environment.

“Give us the evidence that these boats were carrying drugs. Why did you decide to attack rather than interdict?” 25 senators wrote to the president asking about the operations in the Caribbean. “They’ve not answered & that’s likely to lead to War Powers Resolution.” ~Sen Tim Kaine #WarPowersAct

In case facts still matter…

Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“

Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

One beautiful morning, Chicago!

KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

They’re doing it again. Local news is reporting that all of the victims are DETAINEES—not ICE agents. But instead of waiting for the facts—the DHS secretary is victimizing ICE agents. Pathetic.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

As I was saying…

I agree with this. I'm so tired of my friend asking, but who's the head of the Dems, who's the leader, who's going to be the answer, who's going to save us? There are so many Dems that are fiercely pushing back and there are millions of us in the streets, on the phones, etc. WE are saving us.

"The readers are telling us sometimes pretty directly, we don’t want to use these tools, we don’t have an interest in them. But there continues to be this impulse from organizations to build them anyway." @andrewdeck.bsky.social ethicsandjournalism.org/2025/09/18/n...

“Authoritarianism is strengthened when we fail to act in the face of arbitrary acts. When the international society falters in defending peace, sovereignty and the rule of law. The consequences are tragic.” trib.al/aFLdJay

Voters in southwest Arizona are highly likely to elect a new Democratic House member in a special election today. That would-be lawmaker plans to become the 218th and clinching supporter of a bipartisan effort to force public disclosure of federal investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

This should be getting a lot more attention. And no journalist should sign it. "The idea that a member of the Pentagon press corps or a reporter writ large can only write what the government tells them to, that's not how it works in the United States of America." www.rawstory.com/pentagon-267...

President Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. But percentage-wise, his three sons—Don Jr., Eric and Barron—did even better.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.
