I don't think politicians should say "people will die" without explaining what they're doing to stop/minimize that

I’m sure someone could provide a worse three paragraphs of “analysis” in this moment, but Peter Baker really sets the bar low here — with what he opined, who he decided to rely on as a source, and why he included those absurd claims without refutation.

ICE is advertising for recruits on college football telecasts. Your tax dollars pay for ICE to lie that they’re going after “the worst of the worst” when they’re actually terrorizing hard-working people who improve our communities. ICE’s signing bonus is blood money.

So, so many, but I will never stop mentioning and recommending Malka Older's Centenal Cycle: Infomocracy, Null States, and State Tectonics.

Speaking as a reproductive health reporter who covered these referenda endlessly and talked to MANY voters in Kansas, Missouri, and Ohio: Abortion rights are MORE popular than Democrats. They MAKE Democrats popular. Why would Democrats run away from one of the few policies that works for them

“Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs. He also told his daughters detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior.” These are the conditions at the site of yesterday’s protest.

One of Obama‘s worst mistakes was letting all the torturers, their enablers (looking at *you*, John Woo), and all the bankers who brought us the Great Recession, get away scotfree.

Illinois cop killed a preschooler 19 seconds after entering his home Terrell Miller was just 4 yrs old in 2024 when Macomb Police Dept Lt. Nick Goc shot him and his mother’s partner while responding to a domestic violence call. Goc has faced no repercussions prismreports.org/2025/09/16/i...

Went out to the garden to harvest tomatoes for dinner and found this partly-eaten quite fermented pawpaw. Where’d it come from? We have a two-wire electric fence around the garden and no overhanging trees… (about 2” long) 🌱

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

This is funny!

I thought I already debunked this ridiculously ignorant take last week? www.techdirt.com/2025/09/15/s...

For our enemies shall fall before us, inspir’d with the spirit of putting down kings and princes

i believe that we will win

Let’s keep fighting, folks. And while we’re fighting, let’s not lose sight of the better world we need to build afterwards!

Can you imagine being an armed, kitted-up ICE agent on the streets of a US city shoving a middle-aged woman to the ground? Irredeemable agency.

The Democratic tent already had many, many anti-abortion democrats, who got wiped out because — and this is the crucial point! — independents and republicans *did not vote for them*

"they dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate" Since the beginning of the year, my Dem fundraising links have received 5.1x as many clickthrus and twice as much in actual donations on a per-follower basis via Bluesky than via Twitter.

Alright your turn up to the mike . I need you to say that with your whole chest where they can hear you

Alt text please? It’s so easy when you’re posting g screenshots of text anyway…

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills. The Telegraph - Greens are "hard left."

One of the Dems who voted with Rs to support Trump's attack on DC was a VIRGINIAN: @gene4va.bsky.social. To our fellow grassroots groups, as well as unions, justice organizations, and voters: let him know this is a shameful betrayal and not the representation you want.

If you think our tax $ should be spent to pay school cafeteria staff a living wage (and not to put police in schools), you're our people! Join us tomorrow!

Scenes from the confluence of an AI bubble and crony capitalism: xAI is currently raising $10 billion at a valuation of $200 billion while the data annotation team is run by a college kid. Much prudent investment. Very wisdom of the market. futurism.com/elon-musk-co...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

My body hurts and will probably hurt way more tomorrow. But it’s a lot less pain than what our neighbors are enduring inside the Broadview ICE facility.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Hey @roanokeindivisible.bsky.social there's a station in your town! Here's a lever you can pull!

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

"if anyone is foolish enough to think I agree with the parts of this resolution that sanctify and sacralize Mr. Kirk’s opinions" Hey buddy you voted for the resolution, you agreed to the whole thing. You can't vote for only part of it. Shame.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

The security state and its broad sweeping apparatus depends on people complying, assisting, and enacting the state’s demands. This need for our consent is why the legacy of GI resistance, in all its manifestations, is important to study and build on right now.

JESUS: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani CHATGPT: you’re completely right. And I want to thank you for holding me accountable. It looks like you’ve somehow got nailed to a cross

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Moar

Okay now I cannot unsee this 🤣

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

these people are genuinely idiots

More action here:

This coming Sunday! Labor unions are an indispensable part of the job of dismantling oligarchy. Come support labor!

I know I'm not part of a think tank and never staffed a Senator but for the past 8 years I've been organizing across the country on economic justice and this is some consultant-brained drivel. People are ANGRY and pretending to be a white boarded fever dream of a moderate inspires absolutely no one.
