The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

What the fuck?

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

What could one bad Chicago cop cost the taxpayers, Michael? $90M, 200 years of people wrongfully imprisoned, plus his salary, overtime, benefits, retirement plan, guns, cars & everything he can fit in his pockets out of the evidence room for over a decade?

Please remember that telling disabled people to “just stock up” on their medications is not helpful advice Most of us can’t afford to stock up… we’re struggling to pay for our medications as it is Not to mention most doctors & insurance won’t permit you to stockpile This tariff will kill people

When Republican officials broadcast that they’ve found noncitizens on the rolls, it spurs the kind of headlines that drive worry about noncitizen voting. But when those claims later turn out to be unfounded, there’s rarely an apology for the lives they’ve upended.

people might better understand that you are engaged in a legal enterprise if you explained your reasoning, which you are not doing because you are playing Calvinball where the only consistent rule is “donald trump always wins”

One little thing I’m really getting tired of is insecure over-empowered crybaby hypocritical disingenuous hate-filled white guys.

When this is all over anyone who ever worked for ICE needs to show up on maps for the rest of their lives the way sex offenders currently do

I want to see these ICE agents prosecuted and put behind bars.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECaq... The president of Finland, Alexander Stubb, at the UN on Sept. 24, 2025. (20 minutes.) What a contrast with the hideous ramble inflicted on the General Assembly by our vile narcissist and national embarrassment.

President of Finland Alexander Stubb: "When we look at war, there are elements of it that are brutal, vulgar, and unethical. But the kidnapping of children, I think, goes beyond all of that. And we have to think that it's not only about the children being abducted⤵️

“Male loneliness” is a vague, empirically unfalsifiable Potemkin village of an argument meant to smuggle yet more anti feminism into popular consensus.

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help. These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients. Mega 🧵 of resources

"The sheer number of American elites willing to acquiesce to the destruction of democratic institutions is demoralizing. But it’s worth noting that many ordinary people seem to be made of sterner stuff." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is your regular reminder that Covid is airborne. It’s not over. It’s still killing and disabling people. It’s a novel virus and we still don’t know the full long term effects, but what we do know is not encouraging. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick. Protect one another.

Should this man be in any law enforcement position? Now ask this: do you believe this man will face any consequences for this violent assault on an unarmed, emotionally distressed woman? We can call in complaints to the DHS misconduct hotline: 1-800-323-8603 www.oig.dhs.gov/hotline

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

Look maybe I shouldn’t be drinking while I’m post-reading the terror memo but this just gets worse: this is a nearly open declaration of bribes for local police to jump on the bandwagon, to “uncover” local “terrorist” cells:

Abigail Spanberger says her friend Mikie Sherrill's "military service should be honored - not questioned and certainly not weaponized," adds that the Trump Administration's "breach of privacy is a slap in the face to our nation's brave servicemembers" bluevirginia.us/2025/09/thur...

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump. It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

F————k. This clause of the terror memo is so dark. Interrogation, for the purpose of naming names, before any adjudication. How long before Bush’s “enhanced interrogation techniques”—the kind Chicago PD infamously specialized in—become norm. Friends, we are going there…

I’m at the New Yorkers Against ICE rally in Foley Square with hundreds of others. Earlier today ICE agents threw a grieving wife of a detainee to the ground inside 26 Federal Plaza, just steps from here. Elected officials @bradlander.bsky.social, @jumaane.bsky.social and others are speaking.

That video should be running on every news show 24x7 for a week to show all the zero-information electorate in the suburbs what they voted for last November. Maybe they’ll think about more than just their own wallets for a second in 2026.

Just a heads up for NPR that blind, deaf, and hard of hearing people exist

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

I don't like Jim Comey. He strikes me as a self righteous misogynist. This indictment is bullshit.

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

Listen, everyone is going to put their heads down on their desks and close their eyes, and whoever broke this timeline can fix it, no questions asked.

This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Outrageous.

But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

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)

ALL. OF. THIS. They might have browbeaten you into thinking your needs aren’t important or that they’re “normal”, unlike ours. Surprise! You. Have. Support. Needs.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Well done, Kristi Noem, she who, btw, STILL has not had to publicly answer for the racial profiling policies at DHS that resulted in this disaster. Can no enterprising reporter confront her about this international disaster?

Imagine, a country where former presidents can be prosecuted and held to the same legal standards as citizens.

Not surprising but still bad: U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who previously ran a gas fracking company, is killing $13 billion of funds for clean energy projects in the middle of UN Climate Week🔥 www.energy.gov/articles/ene...

Public records for private profit? Interesting case www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... (I realise I don't know enough about the terms on which Ancestry has incorporated other public records and its impact on holding bodies)

uniquely American experience to be detained by ICE in some shitty facility and then shot by a mass shooter
