An immigration agent to a protester who was filming their vehicle’s license plate: “You can record all you want. We change the plates out every day.”

My feelings, exactly.

Israel bombed Gaza today killing dozens of Palestinians, claiming Hamas violated the ceasefire (despite reports Israel ran over an unexploded IED themselves)… and Trump appears to have no idea it happened.

FIRED DOJ LAWYER: “I responded up the chain of command - that’s a lie. I cannot sign my name to that.” Erez Reuveni says he was fired by Trump’s DOJ for refusing to lie that KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA was a terrorist & gang member.

Wildly illegal trade policy violating both US and international law, on top of wildly illegal murder of civilians in international & foreign waters, violating both US and international law.

They get what they voted for

What the actual f*ck is he talking about?

22 arrests. All Maga. Including this armed terrorist with a gun who assaulted a woman. I think we know who the violent ones are. #NoKings

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse. We have obtained these photos:

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing. And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power. When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

I'm grateful to @60minutes.bsky.social featuring our study published @justsecurity.org. Link to the study (on the 'presumption of regularity'): www.justsecurity.org/120547/presu...

Lying Mike Johnson claims the last government shutdown was in 2013. The last TWO federal shutdowns were during Trump’s last term. Trump has been responsible for close to 2/3 of all federal shutdown days in US history.

BREAKING NYT: A shell fired during a live-fire demonstration at Camp Pendleton on Saturday prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, according to a patrol report.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

if the president does something so awful it would be indecent to describe and ask about then you very obviously need to describe and ask about it, thats the entire job

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

Using DOJ to go after Trump's political opponents is wrong. Vindictive prosecutions are wrong. Selective prosecutions are wrong. The involvement of "career prosecutors" does not change any of this or make it better -- it just shows that some career prosecutors are willing to work for this regime.

KARL: “Why haven’t you sworn in Adelita Grijalva?” SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I’m following the Pelosi precedent with Letlow.” KARL: “But that was the date Letlow requested.” SPEAKER JOHNSON: 🤷🏼 #EpsteinFilesCoverUp

Seems like a reasonable request

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget. Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal. Priorities.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Zero ambiguity here, folks. Trump is now threatening to use the “unquestioned power” of the Insurrection Act under the phony (and unconstitutional) pretense of fighting crime in cities

Yeah, this is one case where I think we'd all be wise to spread the president's message wide. Let everyone see who he is.

Ben Meiselas on Thursday: Trump is meeting with Zelenskyy tomorrow. It's not great timing because it's right after the Putin talk, he's still going to be feasting off the Putin talking points. If I was betting, knowing Trump's psychology and pathology, he's going to try to intimidate Zelensky.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

BARTIROMO: Did you get any sense from Putin that he's open to ending this war without taking significant property from Ukraine? TRUMP: Well, he's gonna take something. I mean, he's won certain property.

This lady deserves the presidential medal of freedom once the place is back under adult control and im not kidding

⚡️UPDATE: Local @cbsnews affiliate @wdefnews12 in CHATTANOOGA has deleted and replaced their post about the protests after we called them out for telling on themselves.

It's not just that the NYT chose to ignore the massive protests -- 300,000 in their city alone! -- but that the piece they *did* run on the front page about Democrats is almost cartoonishly bad in how much it whines that they're just not doing what A.G. Sulzberger LXVII wants them to do.

The story of Trump: the rich are getting richer… and then there’s everyone else. “Top 10 percent of U.S. households now account for nearly half of all spending,” Wealthy Americans Are Spending. People With Less Are Struggling. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/b...

they gave *me* 10%

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

Western intelligence agencies eye neo-fascist fight clubs: ‘an international white supremacist movement’

“The Uzbek government had invented “Akromiya” in reaction to mounting frustration among the Uzbek public. When protests erupted, Akromiya became the all-purpose label slapped on any Uzbek who dared to dissent. Uzbeks accused of being in “Akromiya” were baffled.” Sound familiar?!!

The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

You really cannot comprehend how obsessed this administration is with social media, and really just Twitter, and how much all of its decisions are about landing massive Twitter dunks for a cheering crowd of 30-40k hardcore Nazis

Smart jab can shrink head and neck cancer tumours within six weeks, trial finds

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

What is Trump talking about when he says he wants to go after “Democrat programs”? Healthcare? Clean air? Safe food? These aren’t “Democrat programs.” These are people programs.
