Cardinal Robert McElroy, archbishop of Washington, decried the immigration policies of President Trump’s White House, located just blocks away, likening them to an “assault” that “seeks to make life unbearable for undocumented immigrants.”

literally anyone who has done abortion rights work in the last 30+ years could tell you that "destroy science by any means necessary" was the only thing on the bingo card

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

What the fuck?

Well, he has a type…

3/ To be clear, these sorts of actions were outside the norm historically for ICE agents. Yet under Trump’s second term, immigration courts have shifted from being seen as relatively safe venues into places where immigrants face the risk of surveillance, arrest and sometimes even violence.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

So the head of the FBI is sharing evidence photos to the public during the investigation?

We don't have all the details yet, but the shooter must have been a lousy shot. He only hit three detainees in bright, orange jumpsuits, and not the agents detaining them. Seems like an odd detail to omit, if he was in fact targeting ICE agents.

Can't help but notice that the media breathlessly reporting on the messages that shooters write on their bullets seems to have been followed by a surge of shooters writing messages on bullets

women being blamed for autism is very 2025 and also very 1692

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. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

Totally true. I have two slightly right leaning friends who have gone around the bend, and all because of Covid lockdowns and anger at the teacher’s union and being asked to be vaccinated and… the list of injuries go on and on…

The thing, too, about saying Dems should run pro-abortion candidates in red states, or abandon "woke" and trans rights, is that it's easy to suggest *someone else* in the coalition sacrifice core protections. But which core protections are white male Dems willing to sacrifice?

I am not saying, don’t court Trump voters. I am saying, don’t try to court Trump voters by being like Trump. If your only vision of who you are is “at least I’m not that guy,” you have no story to tell.

disney adults showing up like the end of avengers endgame

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

Lia Thomas didn’t swim for an entire season before she competed, following the rules set by the board. That’s the thing, there are rules, athletes obey them and they still get screwed.

I’m not sure I need a The Summer I Turned Pretty movie. I wouldn’t mind a Taylor/Steven spin-off, nothing about their relationship, they just bicker and solve mysteries.

If you found that Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled due to FCC coercion was a heinous attack on free speech (& it sure as hell is!) wait till you hear about the 10,000 books that have been banned in schools & libraries! If you're an author, join the fight @authorsabb.bsky.social We're stronger together!

guys. i think i’ve found an airtight defense for trump

If you wrote a "Trump distances himself from project 2025" story in 2024 you are either a dupe or one of our enemies. They are cackling with laughter that the media they're now destroying enthusiastically helped them dupe the voters

They picked trans folks because there are so few of us they think they can get away with it, and they are perfecting a playbook they will use to go after more groups of people until they've concentrated enough power to be unstoppable. It's entirely up to cis people to stop this. Please help us y'all

I feel bad for my Aunt Tifa. Her socials are blowing up.

The way The Summer I Turned Pretty uses time is pretty masterful especially in the last episode.

Are we sure she’s not the girl from The Ring?

In the days since someone said we should kill the homeless and mentally ill, the unhoused have been shot and lynched from trees in multiple states, yet @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy Brian Kilmeade, that someone who said it, still has a job.

The political climate since Kirk was killed is different than the climate the week before. Wake the fuck up. Just be smart. You're yelling at me because I am encouraging people to be smart and frankly you sound like a bunch of fucking feds.

Just in: Minnesotans have elected who will replace Melissa Hortman. Xp Lee, a Democrat, just won today’s special election. He’s a former Brooklyn Park city councilor, who was born in a refugee camp in Thailand; he beat Republican Ruth Bittner after winning a competitive Dem primary last month.

Hey #BookSky For many bookstores & small retail in general, the holiday season is make or break for the year for them. Of course, money is tight for everyone this year so here's a thread of ways to support your local bookstore WITHOUT spending more $$ than you already intended to...

Prince Andrew stopped being a Prince because of the credible information that Epstein trafficked Guiffre to him.

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.

In honor of Trammell Tillman's well-deserved Emmy win, I will never get over whoever put Millchick's "defiant jazz" dance scene to "Not Like Us." @sorayanadiamcdonald.com, I cannot thank you enough for alerting me to this joy sparker. youtu.be/Q4NWrJSZrz4?...

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

The right to speak freely is the ultimate personal liberty and the foundation of Karen’s 11-year career at The Post. We’re proud to call Karen a colleague and a longtime union sibling. The Post Guild stands with her and will continue to support her and defend her rights.

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together. Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

Honestly, most of us were like, “WHO is Charlie Kirk? Which one is he? Was he the one with the eyebrows or the flat face?”

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Um, Eric, the enemy has not been sleeping…
