Really heartening news. A full vote of the entire 9th circuit vacates the opinion reversing Immergut in Portland case.The entire court will now hear it. Immergut opinion is quite important b/c it applies deference but still finds can’t let Trump have his way when that is “untethered to the facts.“

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

A federal judge issues a GAG ORDER barring Trump's DOJ and Department of Homeland Security from violating Kilmar Abrego Garcia's right to a fair trial, citing a record of "troubling" statements that are "exaggerated if not simply inaccurate." Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thank YOU both!! @jbf1755.bsky.social & @hcrichardson.bsky.social 🙏🔵💪 I've asked the same question: What will it take to turn these Republicans against him? What will it take? I've even asked this question to my Republican reps (for months now). I call them several times a week consistently.

When dressing up as a Nazi for Halloween is even remotely acceptable then you know as a country we have lost the plot. We can never normalize this:

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Trump: "I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people... Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead."

This is very good

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

A free campaign ad for Mamdani.

So let me get this straight… Republicans call Democrats violent, terrorist, lawless, and so much more, but we aren’t the ones constantly wreaking havoc on this country. Just today, a man Trump pardoned for storming the Capitol was arrested for threatening to kill Leader Hakeem Jeffries. (1/2)

i'll let the text from my brother, who *took time out of his mini-honeymoon to send me this story late last night*, do the talking: "this is an insane story factually and also phenomenal writing" shoutout @annabower.bsky.social and @lawfaremedia.org

"Even if I were to humor your inaccurate understanding of the concept of 'Jesus is King' as a political statement, your actions as a lawmaker... clearly do not support the direct political application of Christ’s teachings."

That’s seven. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/uni...

As predicted.

Such a characteristic dynamic, righties saying the protests were "funded by Soros" and lefties responding with fact checks & empirical observations. Ships passing in the night. What the righties want to say is: the left is fundamentally illegitimate. That, to them, is the core truth.

These are tomorrow's leaders.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Trump has pardoned pedophiles, cop-beaters, woman-beaters and George Santos. That doesn’t include the pardons he sold. But tell me more about how we need the military to stop crime.

Folks: We have the right to peacefully protest. Don't surrender that right. Shout it out on Saturday. Friday AM I'll talk about why this kind of protest matters. Part of the answer? To prove that we still CAN do it. Join me Friday 10AM ET NCHEteach.org/conversations

Watch this!

Translation: If Dems vote for the CR, Thune will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies then Mike Johnson will kill that in the House.

This is a very good paragraph. From "The Last Days of the Pentagon Press Corps" in The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec... By Nancy A. Youssef

The biggest lesson I’ve learned from my time in the labor movement is this: solidarity is a *verb*—and that action takes many forms. Can’t hit the picket line? Pick up the phone and get a member off the couch. Can’t make the time to phone tree but have a half hour on the weekend? Help make signs.

Just a thought: Instead of Argentina, how about we bail out America first?

Any word from the ADL on the obscene antisemitic messages revealed in the Young Republican Leaders Telegram messages?

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

"Will enough Americans rise up to reverse the tide of populist authoritarianism? The Filipinos did it under Marcos. One morning the autocrats woke up and were no longer in control; the marchers were. That needs to happen here." David Brooks

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked. They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

Finally realized what the freakout over Mamdani becoming mayor reminded me of, and it's the freakout over the first black mayors in southern cities. New post at CAMPAIGN TRAILS:

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

May this peace hold. 🕊️ #Peace #Gaza #Israel #BlueCrew

"In a time of darkness, New York must be the light." @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social makes a 2-minute ad about transgender rights, while sitting at the Christopher Street Pier in NYC. And yes, I'm crying, too. www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

What fucking country is this?!

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

F off!

This is not a border crossing. There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior. This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.
