Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

1/ I’d like to share what’s happened since Sept. 30, the night of the most dramatic raid of the Trump administration’s Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago. Under the cover of darkness, 37 immigrants were taken from an apartment complex …🧵

Fact is, Epstein is the *only* issue impervious to Trump/GOP messaging tactics. That's why Trump & MAGA keep freaking out—they literally don't know what to do when lying, misdirection, and demagoguery don't work. So they flail around, making it worse. Dropping it would be political malpractice.

"가진 사람이 없는 사람을 통제하고 이익을 최대로 추구하는 방식은 신기술이나 새로운 제도가 들어온다고 쉽게 해결할 수 있는 게 아니다. 사람의 일은 사람이 해결하지 않으면 해결되지 않는다." - 이상헌(ILO 고용정책국장) 🎂 slownews.kr/148426 2년 남짓 이야기를 나눴다. 그는 쿠팡 이야기할 때도 플랫폼 노동을 설명할 때도 첨단 기술과 시스템에 관한 매혹과 과시가 아니라 인간과 삶을 향한 공감과 연민이 있다. 그런 시선은 귀하다. 그런 이야기라면 가끔 경청할 필요가 있다. #이상헌 #제네바인터뷰

I don’t understand why Dems have to choose? “Trump is a corrupt billionaire pedo whose self-serving policies have made your life more expensive” is not that hard of a message imo

PSA: anyone even remotely involved in the Trump regime should be flagged as forever unhirable in any communication-related job thereafter, public or private. The biggest red flag for unprofessionalism and irresponsibility ever.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

Zac Segal, Boston U runner and Young Republican alerted ICE to a car wash in Allston MA which had immigrants working - he said they were taking US jobs. ICE raided the car wash. All detained had legal status according to their lawyer. Segal was born and schooled in London. 🙄

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal. Here we go.

Bad news: the Dem coward caucus folded and handed the R(eich) party another win. Good news: the House had to convene, resulting in the release of more Epstein files with damning information about Trump's involvement.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com The Democrats “need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal," writes Jamelle Bouie. "None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it.”

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

So KBJ's wonky legal maneuver was successful. Too bad the Senate Dems made it practically irrelevant now.

First, everyone stop calling those people 'centrist' or 'moderate.' With the GOP having moved to the far right some time ago, caving to them is not a move to the center. Allowing a collapse of the healthcare system for tens of millions is certainly not moderate.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Keep up the pressure folks. The folders are getting screamed at and realizing there won't be a shred of cover.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

It surprises me that Musk’s arrogant, autocratic, incompetent, mistake-prone, drug-addled, and deadly reign at DOGE is not mentioned. Nor does it discuss his Nazi salute, support for far-right political causes, and turning Twitter into a purveyor of lies and hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/b...

If this trend manifests in TX as well, we will enter a better timeline. The Trump-GOP going totally racist against the Latin population with Kavanaugh stops sent a clear message, I guess.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

The job of a good message isn't to say what is popular. The job of a good message is to make popular what we need said. MAGA and Madison Avenue have known and exploited this. But it also very much applies to campaigns for good. www.weekendreading.net/p/bringing-a...

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.
