And *sheriffs*. "Those arrested include Washington Co. Sheriff Milton Gaston, Humphreys Co. Sheriff Bruce Williams, and Sunflower Co. Chief Deputy Marvin Flowers." also "federal officials began the investigation after receiving complaints from drug dealers" www.newschannel10.com/2025/10/30/2...

Truly terrifying stuff. @wired.com and @dell.bsky.social doing a real service to our country by shining a light on the darkest corners of this administration. Proud to be a subscriber.

Speaker Johnson admits Trump & Republicans are forcing millions of kids to go hungry for political leverage. He says funding SNAP would "reduce the pressure" on Democrats. Disgusting.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Just fell for the pet costume contest phishing email from our IT team…for the second year in a row. Worst part is I’ve also spent the morning trying to put a wig on a frenchie for my submission. Bluesky, I give you PIEROGIWISE

They're just destroying the country, piece by piece, with shitposters and meme-lords.

Another must read - really great thread surfaced by the ol Pitchbot

I’m crying www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

If six people nonviolently protesting outside an ICE facility is a criminal conspiracy, all First Amendment-protected activity is at risk.

Let's see the list. I think lots of people would like to see the list.

Trump is so low in the polls he’s now considered an underground movement.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Choosing Garland over Doug Jones to appease some west wing fantasy idea was one of the single biggest failings of Biden

and one week after @lilianasegura.bsky.social's story on his arrest: theintercept.com/2025/10/23/c...

I would love to send the message that getting detained by the regime is table stakes for '26.

I was right about her 10 years ago.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

It's very weird to think "attacking an unpopular President," the most successful American political strategy for a midterms since the founding, should be offputting in some way.

When I say my former political party is a threat to democracy, here’s just one example.👇

This is the way.

i encourage all of these assholes to continue to tell easily refuted lies that will absolutely enrage people while on camera

Democrats are demanding answers on whether the president is engaging in a pay for play scheme with his ballroom.

So the DOJ is now suspending lawyers for putting facts into briefs. Just a remarkable attack on the truth by Department of (Alleged) Justice. The lawyers behind the suspension should be fired by any future AG and viewed as radioactively toxic by future law firms.

Donated. Help Kat stand up to this criminal administration.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Indoor trick-or-treat events. Candy dropoffs. Neighbors patrolling with whistles. This is how Chicagoans are helping kids have a safe and ICE-free Halloween this year: blockclubchi.co/47qJSzi.

noteworthy that rather than funding experiments into challenging conservative message domination on the local level or building between-election outreach capacity at the state level, centrist donors are throwing millions at what amount to online factional battles among a couple dozen people

"We give the execution of foreign policy to the executive branch" Mike Johnson's House of Representatives has implicitly abdicated so many of its Article I powers to Donald Trump, so it's refreshing for him to make explicit when they abdicate yet another of their constitutional powers.

Excellent summary. When I discuss the Constitution in class with students, we pay attention to the fact that Article I is about Congress and it takes up about half the text of the document. If the Founders had “intent,” it was for Congress to assume a massive role in the federal government.

The US is seeing the largest number of layoffs since 2020, with nearly 1 million people losing their jobs so far this year.

This is so fucked up.

Getting word that Uncle Sam isn’t America’s real uncle

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

This administration is *murdering people in the ocean while freely admitting they have no idea who they're even killing* and we're pretending this is a thing people are objecting to. Why do we even indulge these lies?

Bari absolutely rocks. Her two ideas for stories are "I have this famous person's phone number" and "I heard libs were doing some weird stuff out there." Absolutely replacement level suburban dunce.

So proud of my city. 👊❤️ (Albany Park is a diverse neighborhood on the northwest side of Chicago.) * Continuing to fight the "Chicago is a hellhole" narrative: I saw this because I biked a few miles to a lovely chocolate cafe on a gorgeous fall day where the leaves were starting to turn golden.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Judge Ellis is setting an example other judges faced with systemic Trumper lawlessness should follow - proactively supervising, in a detailed manner, compliance with her decree. This is necessary, given the abdication of the DOJ from that role.

A delightful read. Bovino got his ass kicked up down and sideways by this judge.

“Republicans are feeling volcanic heat from below, as supporters face dramatically increasing health insurance premiums, especially in states without expanded Medicaid coverage. Food stamps benefit plenty of Republicans, too.” great piece from @editorialboard.bsky.social

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

If I could Being John Malkovich my way into Trump’s brain for an hour, I’d announce that shit sandwiches are America’s new national dish, just so we could all watch toadies like Ken Paxton loyally scarf down poop hoagies on the Fox and Friends couch. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/h...
