An administration admitted that the drug smugglers pose no threat to US troops. The drone killings don't count as hostilities because the victims are completely defenseless, the WH says. If the rule of law is ever restored, they'll regret admitting that.

Donald Trump's DOJ has recently started treating doxing as a crime, charging at least 4 people in SoCal with it. Which makes it all the more corrupt that Juicebox Janine memory holed Trump's own doxing that led to dangerous stalking of Barack Obama. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/30/j...

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Virtual ReproEco -- so lucky to have the directors Carly Bodnar & Shanea N. Taylor bringing Repro Eco's 6 plays on reproductive freedom & environmental justice directly to your screen. Online! Oct 14 at 7 pm ET, 4 pm Pacific. Reserve in advance! www.onthestage.tickets/show/transfo...

Here's the letter.

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.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Still thrilled! Beautiful performances of ReproEco at CultureLab LIC, Long Island City, NY, during the events of the Healing Arts Week, UNGA! Cast and team gathered on stage! Next! Oct 14, 7 pm ET, Virtual performances with Transformation Theatre. reprofreedomarts.org/reproeco/

Something to know about NYC–this would happen whether or not Trump was president. It's the type of thing they've done before, including detaining other uninvolved people and seizing delicate professional equipment. Which won't be returned in the same condition. Like Trump, who's gonna stop them?

Yup! Write!
