A typhoon has devastated communities in western Alaska and record flood waters have displaced at least 1,400 people and search and rescue operations continue. alaskapublic.org/news/public-... Donate here: alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

for over four months I’ve reported as Trump has put troops and federal agents in cities across America. more than ever I’m seeing and hearing from people pushing back — standing up for immigrants, democracy and members of our military who don’t want this.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls for calling on them to redeem themselves. "I have not seen them cross the line yet" means the line doesn't fucking exist.

There is no bottom to the depravity. Shame.

This is why we always say “don’t listen to what they say; watch what they do.” Trump got his Covid and flu shots yesterday. So while they’ve got an anti-vax conspiracy theorist in charge of your health, they know the truth that vaccines are safe and effective. (1/2)

“I am not fearful, I am fearless” -New York Attorney General Letitia James

A “protest” shouldn’t have merch. 🙄

Gaza is facing its darkest phase: starvation, isolation, and relentless attacks. Families are losing everything, children are at extreme risk, and aid is blocked. We cannot look away. Yousef Aljamal reports from July of this year.

Reading about unstaffed air traffic control towers while you sit in an airport is 😳

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

It’s not even 10 a.m., and so much has unfolded in Chicago: – Illinois sues Trump over the National Guard deployment – Mayor Brandon Johnson bans city property use for immigration enforcement – Journalists and protesters sue the feds over Broadview violence

NEW: Judge Immergut BLOCKS Trump's federalization of the Oregon National Guard, writing that the govt has "made a range of arguments that, if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power—to the detriment of this nation." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

So are Jason Bateman, Rob Lowe, Magic Johnson and the like just fine with Dodgers’ owner Mike Walter’s ties to ICE detention and Palantir? Not to mention the team’s visit to the White House? Lots of LA celebrities spoke up when Jimmy Kimmel got silenced, but not enough are boycotting the Dodgers.

All eyes on the flotilla. 🚢 🍉

Please consider getting a Covid shot when you get your flu shot this fall. Yes, it’s still around. And yes, it can give you a long-term disability or even kill you. Don’t let people who are playing politics with public health stop you from protecting yourself and others.

“Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated,” Brad Lander wrote. “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.”

Even beyond their deeply partisan gerrymandering gambits, it may be possible for Republicans to hold on to their congressional majority by selectively rejecting election results. This is what to look out for in 2026: www.thebulwark.com/p/dirty-proc...

The correct answer is no, it violates the posse comitatus act.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Unacceptable.

California protecting immigrants. F🧊

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Like many have said, I will not be taking medical advice from a man who cannot pronounce acetaminophen. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🙄

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

We all said this would happen. We knew it would happen. And really no one in power gave a flying fuck. This is a feature, not a bug. www.teenvogue.com/story/men-dr...

Stephen Miller openly calling for the right-wing folks to “save civilization” and “save the west” at what is supposed to be a somber memorial? How can anyone not see what a not see rally this was?

Funny I don’t remember scientists and doctors pre-scheduling the announcements of their amazing discoveries by many months in the past BECAUSE THAT’S NOT HOW SCIENCE WORKS. Autism, Tylenol Correlation =\= Causation 🙄

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him. “This is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.

The Department of Education has announced a new initiative to instill "patriotic education" across the US by giving grants to schools that adopt a US history curriculum written by MAGA-aligned groups like PragerU and Turning Point USA. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-p...

Propaganda.

Is it really possible that Kash Patel doesn’t know who Dylan Roof is? 😳 One of oh so many reasons this man is deeply unqualified for his position. How are we preventing the next white supremacist attack if we know nothing about (or at least pretend to be unfamiliar with) the previous ones?

Mahmoud Khalil has affirmed his plan to fight an immigration court ruling that orders his deportation to Algeria or Syria, months after plainclothes agents accosted the lawful permanent resident in NYC.

Please consider donating an eSim to Ga za. It only takes a moment and is desperately needed. Check out Connectinghumanity_ on IG for more details.

In 1983, 50 companies controlled 90% of the U.S. media market. That number is now down to 5.

This is why they’re deleting studies

Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson & Cynthia Morris Wesley. 62 years ago today, these four girls were killed by white supremacist hatred in the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing. We must remain steadfast in our collective fight against anti-Blackness and hate in every form.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Absolutely not. 🚨 www.commondreams.org/news/rubio-t...

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Anyone in NYC and surrounding is planning to get a ticket to the 9/11 Yankees game so they can boo the orange one, right? I saw some on Stub Hub for $30-$40. He should know how unpopular he and his fascist ideas are any time he dares go out in public.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Seems like the rumors got to him. Now he wants to be seen in public. US Open, DC restaurant tonight, soon the Yankees game. Wait till he hears those boos. Don’t think it’ll last much past that.

BREAKING: A Georgia judge says he's going to dismiss racketeering charges against all 61 defendants accused of trying to stop the construction of a police and firefighter training facility known as "Cop City."

Not one minute of peace for the fascists.

Of all the unqualified extremists Donald Trump has appointed to his cabinet, RFK Jr., as of now, poses the most direct threat to the nation. Impeach him now, writes @davidcorn.bsky.social. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
