Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism. ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees. One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help. He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

NEW: Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families. But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes. With @theassemblync.bsky.social

“I’m emotionally shellshocked right now,” said one professor in the Texas Tech system. “What does it say about academic freedom? It says we don’t have it.” The professor spoke by phone from the inside of a car to avoid being overheard by colleagues. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Little prints look good framed - if I do say so myself

Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing in of the new House Member because she’ll be the 218th vote to force the release of the Epstein Files. He pretends to be a good Christian man while protecting violent child rapists.

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

Wow! This ICE agent has bigger problems than just dropping his gun. Just asking questions: why is tough guy pointing a gun at bystanders, and does he even notice that the magazine is on the ground too?

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

A coalition of Richmond-based groups is calling on ASM Richmond and the Dominion Energy Center to cancel an upcoming appearance by Fox News personality Brian Kilmeade, scheduled for Saturday, September 27.

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

ICE in Rogers Park. If you see them elsewhere, ping us. Additionally, the campaign office (Clark + Lunt), as always, welcomes everybody except ICE.

This failure is shameful

Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past two decades studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child. RFK Jr. has now cut her entire division.

Here's a list of all #Nexstar-owned ABC stations www.stationindex.com/tv/by-owner/... And one of #Sinclair-owned ABC stations www.stationindex.com/tv/by-owner/... Tell them We the People are ready to defend our #1A rights by boycotting their advertisers, unless they start airing #JimmyKimmel.

If you live in a region where your local stations are preempting tonight's Jimmy Kimmel, send them an email tomorrow morning with a firm "I had no idea you were one of THOSE stations and I'm contacting your ADVERTISERS!"

Family separation is back under Trump. Just CNN alone found more than 100 American children left stranded after ICE took their parents. Here’s just one story… Meet Isaac

I cannot stress this enough. We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility. If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.

If my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

And you thought tariffs were fun when they boosted inflation.

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

I’m shocked.

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I. Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I. Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I. You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

NJ PBS shutting down next summer. “15yrs ago Gov. Christie ended 4 decades of state funding for public TV, forcing them to find a new funder. The state cut $750k in funding this yr, but that was hardly the fatal blow; that came from the end of federal funds.” newjerseyglobe.com/media/new-je...

Investigative reporter @ndhapple.bsky.social just dropped a BOMBSHELL of a story about NYC's failure to help homeless mentally ill people on the subway. It's a story that every mayoral candidate should be talking about: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/23/t...

Michigan House Republicans say their budget cuts down “waste, fraud, and abuse.” Are our kids “waste, fraud, and abuse?” Is supporting small business owners bringing jobs to the community, “waste, fraud, and abuse?”

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.
