Even Hegseth’s handpicked chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Cain has criticized the draft National Defense Strategy and doesn’t think Hegseth understands the complexity or purpose of the doc that guides entire military infrastructure’s posture and priorities, leaving the US and allies vulnerable.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

The man behind the US’ summary execution of civilians off the coast of Venezuela is Stephen Miller.

This weekend we canvassed small businesses in Williamsburg and Greenpoint to educate employers about what to do if ICE shows up. We will be hosting more outreach events to share actionable information about how to keep our community safe.

This part

In case we forget because so much happens every day, I think it's pretty clear they knew EXACTLY whom they blew up because Vance said as much and I hope someone will report on this

The efficient weeding of our college application list continues apace

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

'out of the three mass shootings today'

JUST IN: Oregon sues to stop Trump’s deployment of the military, saying its pretextual and that ICE protests have been small and relatively contained since June. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

California! Set a reminder in your phone to call the gov’s office to tell Newsom to sign these five bills. The guy’s mercenary as hell so if he thinks the wind is shifting in favor of trans rights (it never shifted! Trans rights are human rights!) we could flip him. Info below. Call: 916.445.2841

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

Instead of the next judicial education session, all the judges watch this tiktok instead.

"The result, both during and potentially after a shutdown, could be a federal government dramatically reoriented to defense, immigration and law enforcement — and not much else." That sure sounds like the "F" word. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

#WATCH Budget Chair @giarrussoiii breaks down the budget process for the folks at home (and some mayoral candidates) Full video available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew-P... www.instagram.com/p/DPJfeRBgrt3/

Families are being priced out of their neighborhoods, but it doesn't have to be this way. Other cities have taken steps to keep housing more affordable - and as Assessor, I know we can bring those solutions home to #NewOrleans.

Their are a few crews out right now trying to discredit anyone and everyone with experience countering authoritarianism, building resilience and pushing for critical thinking and approaches to governmental failings and it’s been a delisting over the past few weeks. It’s intentional and coordinated

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social take notes.

This is fucking horrifying.

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

These two signs being next to each other is never lost on me. New Orleans it’s time to get out and vote. I was the 134th person for my poll worker on Day 1 of early voting.

Well now I want a donut

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

A new complaint from ACLU and other human rights groups details how the warden at a Lousiana ICE facility created an unofficial “work program” of manual labor and sexual humiliation for trans men at the facility. This is very hard to read. rfkhumanrights.org/wp-content/u...

One CNN investigation has identified “more than 100 US citizen children, from newborns to teenagers, who have been left stranded without parents because of immigration actions this year …”

Antigravity’s voter guide is out! Here’s what they had to say about me and why this race matters.

In light of reports that the Trump Admin has asked SCOTUS to decide the merits of its effort to end birthright citizenship, I’m re-upping my assessment - reluctantly arrived at - of the majority’s likely response to Trump’s unconstitutional demand. I pray I’m wrong. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

FFS

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, pushing the issue back before the justices for the second time this year. More details: https://cnn.it/4myiLrx

❤️❤️❤️

Housing and the climate crisis are connected—and we need leaders ready to tackle both. As you head to the polls this weekend for mayor and council, remember: the Assessor’s office matters too. Let’s elect one committed to fixing this.

Oh. Oh no.

What in the absolute FUCK. The only words I have right now are F-bombs.

"We have nothing to lose but our chains." A forever bar for a forever icon. Rest in Power Assata Shakur.

New Orleanians are being priced out of the city. Can the next assessor make a difference? A progressive candidate is challenging longtime Orleans Parish Assessor Erroll Williams for the job.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

1895 massacre of Black New Orleans dockworkers brought end to racial solidarity For a while, Black and white dockworkers unions worked together to promote labor conditions in the late 19th century.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

I’ve got 50 bucks says Hegseth tries to get them all to sign an oath supporting him instead of Vance when Trump goes.

Truth Hurts: Budgets and Bills for Mayoral Apologists If you’re going to spend your entire mayoral campaign by targeting the City Council, the least you can do is come correct. Senator Duplessis seems not to be getting how the city budget works... www.instagram.com/p/DPCwv4cj8JA/

Huh, maybe soul mates are a real thing

Remember that Trump lamented that domestic violence was a crime. This is their version of “masculinity”

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

New Orleans too NOLAREADY:Due to a regional 9-1-1 fiber line cut affecting N.O. callers may not be able to reach 9-1-1 & should call 504-513-6594 for emergencies at this time
