Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Just wholehearted ideological commitment to making life shittier and more frustrating to no other benefit

Like stories about magic schools, but hate bigotry? @naominovik.bsky.social's Scholomance triology is already a classic, but now we have another option with @seananmcguire.bsky.social writing in Magic's multiverse's Strixhaven setting? This is going to be awesome.

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard… When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

It seems unthinkable that it would actually happen but widespread economic sanctions and an international UN peace-keeping force to the caribbean are at least deserved at this point

Stephen Miller derives pleasure from hurting people who are in groups he dislikes, and he seeks out opportunities to do so. He absolutely despises Latinos and he is killing them for fun

What the United States is actually doing is using its massive military capabilities to airstrike random boats full of Latino people because Stephen Miller is all-but-open fascist who gets a weird semi-sexual thrill out of killing people of color. It's absolutely rogue state behavior

Back to back “free speech” headlines this afternoon.

Staffers claim Pete Hegseth is crumbling under the pressure and his mental state has reached new, frenzied heights after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Hegseth is being described by staffers as “manic,” erupting into fits of rage and tumultuous tirades. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-aid...

Sounds like America may have committed a serious war crime that VP Vance laughed about, joking about “not going finishing.” This is why we do not permit extrajudicial executions by the United States military against civilians— not in peacetime, not in war, not ever. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/w...

I would have gone with “illegal” in the headline, here. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It wouldn't be until 2028 His current polling numbers among democrats is pretty shit. If the election were this year, AOC would take his seat handily.

An AOC-esque politician could unseat him.

And Stephen Miller is as obvious a member of that group as has ever existed, just like Trump is as obvious a pathological narcissist with an all-consuming desire to be admired and praised as has ever existed

Part of ICE’s efforts will be setting up random traffic stops and checkpoints throughout the city and making educated guesses about who to detain and who not to detain. These 'Guess Stops' will be staffed by special agents known as Guess Stop Officers, or 'Guess-Stop-O for short.

j.k. rowling should be understood, first and foremost, as a misogynist. she just sometimes cloaks her misogyny by accusing others of sexism. see how she denigrates emma watson as an ungrateful, spoiled, bratty princess. this is solely because watson refuses to be a transphobe

I sure hope the ADL is proud that they stuck up for Elon Musk when he did a Nazi salute back in January.

The Kavanaugh Stop

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

I think the fascists are making a big mistake by making people think about Stephen Miller more

And as The Guardian reported today, this is under orders from Stephen Miller. We have high ranking Navy officers taking orders on use of lethal force from the White House Chief of Staff. This should be the top story on every news outlet.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist. No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men. The silence is deafening. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Broadview Police have opened an investigation into an attack from federal agents on a CBS crew at Broadview, per BPD Chief Mills.

These GOP politicians have to stop describing largely peaceful urban centers like Portland and Chicago as war zones. The unpeaceful parts are where the Feds have shown up to spread fear and abuse.

The problem with billionaires is not that they’re masters of society steering all events around them, but they’re just as gullible, stupid, misinformed, and hapless as any dummy off the street but they have massive resources to waste on pointless and destructive misadventures

worrying book I saw in Scotland that sounds like a confession I do not want to read

"The review of mifepristone marks the second time in less than a week that the Trump administration has marshaled false medical claims and junk science in an effort to constrain the freedoms of pregnant women and curtail their access to relief," writes Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan.

Yeah, I find I've lost all ability to suspend disbelief for the "super-competent Nazis" movie trope. There was never going to be a thousand-year Reich. If we hadn't stopped the Nazis on the battlefield they would have caused a *lot* more suffering and death... but also consumed themselves.

When I used to watch Star Wars, I was baffled at the Imperial incompetence at times. Im not baffled anymore. Incompetence is baked into fascism because these chucklefucks have nothing on their resume beyond “loyal to Emperor Orangitine”

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

y'all I called @warren.senate.gov and @edmarkey.bsky.social DURING THE DAY even though I hate phones and I usually call at night to be guaranteed of getting voicemail. (I got voicemail anyway, yay!) Because the correct number of trans people to throw under the bus IS ZERO. Zero. Only zero!

Man, first the pinkos at Cato produce a chart showing right-wing violence is much more prevalent than left-wing, and now the woke antifa National Review is claiming the Comey Indictment is invalid!

If you wondered how many of the major newsrooms covering the Pentagon would give in to Pete Hegseth and sign a new agreement if they wanted to maintain access, it looks like the answer is... none. So far. Via @status.news

there are a lot of affluent (and not so affluent) liberals in this country who are very angry and don’t know how to properly direct that anger and Disney gave them a very easy target something for the next big corp that wants to bend the knee to consider

Trump: ‘Another Thing Epstein And I Never Did Is Play Nude Charades’

Please note that, unlike the president, the deputy chief of staff does not have immunity from prosecution for official acts per Trump v. United States

Welcome to America, where masked and armed federal officials will chase you down if you criticize the President.

Once created, a digital ID system will prove catnip to politicians who want to track what where we go online and off reason.com/2025/09/29/f...

bragging about how much gold you’re putting in the oval office while all the economic lights on the dashboard are starting to flash red and the government is about to shut down is some shit that would make the marie antoinette caricature wince

This is true and also we should never accept that Trump v. United States is a valid precedent. It's not and as many justices should be removed and/or diluted with more seats and/or jurisdiction stripped as may be necessary, and eventually the repudiation of it should be codified by amendment.

I don't like court packing, it's not my preferred thing to do, I wouldn't do it for just about anything else, and I'd take other ways to get to the same result, but their presidential immunity diktat must be firmly established as anti-canon, null and void, bogus from the day it was issued.

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced

Rachel finally decided to look up what 'fascist' meant and she did not like what she learned.

Podcasts with reach in NYC: happy to come on and remind everyone what a bad guy Andrew Cuomo is.

Massachusetts trans people. There's a clinic in western mass that does not take any government funds at all.
