ICE is a pedophile ring.

ICE is a pedophile ring. They prey on children & abduct them.

ICE is a pedophile ring. These men endanger children.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

ICE is a pedophile ring.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law. They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

There is no one better than @neeratanden.bsky.social to explain the ins and outs of the shutdown, which she does expertly in her interview with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/o...

Yesterday: Trump bragged, "We took the freedom of speech away." Today: New reporting on Trump's plans to go after opposition groups. In 9 days: We mount the largest peaceful protest in modern history to say, loud and clear, that America has no king. nokings.org

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

One question Josh touches on that we need clarity about: what is the fate of collaborators?

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

2026? He's definitely dying.

This was always the plan. Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

Mr. Hegseth may want to put his affairs in order after this fiasco.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

This brought out a bunch of doomers "...but! but!"-ing with all of the obstacles facing a pro-democracy movement in the USA, but I think it is worth thinking about the question from the other side. What does MAGA need to do to do (not how, just what) to hold power long-term? Are they doing it?

One beautiful morning, Chicago!

107 Days is out now. kamalaharris.link/107Days

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

It's a basic point, but one that needs to be repeated: If right-wingers and their views were popular, they would not be so desperate to control mass media & social media nor to use government power to silence everyone else, and they wouldn't need oligarchs pumping billions into amplifying them.

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

Fighting corruption is probably the most practical & effective way to restore our republic. We'll have to start at the top with the Harlan Crow bribes. That means impeaching the justices who made bribery legal.

In America, we defend free speech in terrible times. We defend free speech even when it’s offensive. We defend free speech. www.cnn.com/2025/09/18/p...

We have received many questions about whether it’s safe to sign up for No Kings protests while Trump ramps up his attacks on free speech.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

We will need clarity about the fate of collaborators. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Remembering how Jon Stewart spent all of last year telling me that he’d grown more nuanced and wise after his retirement and that Trump v Dems wasn’t as black and white as people claimed. What a ridiculous fuckwad he turned out to be.

Obama: So we have to extend to people during their period of mourning We can also at the same time say I disagree with the idea that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake I can disagree with the suggestion that my wife or Justice Jackson does not have adequate brain processing power.

Look out Simon Peter, Andrew, James & John. Trump has you in his sights.

They are abjectly terrified of the American people.

For the wages of sin is death.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

From my colleague @scottlincicome.bsky.social.

Donald Trump has declared war on American citizens in Chicago. House Republicans remain silent. These MAGA extremists are sick people who are completely unfit to govern.

The crowd has no beginning and no end as it begins its march to the White House

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

That appears to be an unarmed, open, civilian vessel.

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.

To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
