"We've been forced into a 'free speech zone.' Its very existence implies that everywhere else is a non-free speech zone, that there are places where our First Amendment rights do not apply."

"Goldeneye, 60 percent of the time it works every time"

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Let’s give these motherfuckers bribing and kidnapping children as much attention as possible

The law treats all people equally

Omake, the ancient Japanese art of tossing shit in

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

Makes perfect sense

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Journalist Mario Guevara has been deported. He spent three-plus months in ICE custody after livestreaming a protest, before being flown out of the U.S. on Oct. 3. In a recent post, he wrote: “My dedication to my work cost me my freedom.”

Illinois State Representative: “ICE just tear gassed people near the grocery store Rico Fresh on Armitage - there are helicopters over our houses and armed agents stopping people in the streets, Walmart, Home Depot, all the places people congregate in Humboldt Park, Logan Square and Hermosa.”

"You know, I'm something of a Command and Control expert myself"

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

“They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down. We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military." The worst of what we feared when Trump’s spending bill gave ICE a blank check is happening.

This is an accurate, informative headline, unlike the ones atop some of the other news stories on this topic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Exactly

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

“This is extortion, plain and simple. It is not hyperbole to say that the future of higher education.. requires that every university reject it…The only solution is solidarity and collective action against this effort at federal control over higher education.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

This is really sick stuff, I guess puppy killer Noem is really proud of herself.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

30 seconds, you can do this

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.

JOB

Fascism with a tote bag

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

Exactly.

I have a visceral reaction to NPR voice, and that's before I even get to the content of what they're saying

Using American cities as "training grounds for our military" isn’t just intrinsically un-American, it's unconstitutional. 
More like a tin-pot dictator than a President every day.

"We"

Comparing white flight to suburbia with Israeli ethnic cleansing is actually so fucking hilariously racist.

This whole thread.

It is an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization, only in a way that should have made Patel hug it closer

The Trump administration is yanking green energy and infrastructure funding away from blue states on day one of the Republican-led government shutdown. newrepublic.com/post/201223/...

Congressional Republicans shut down the federal government - their third time under Donald Trump’s control. Here’s what that means for you.

I think this part is crucial because it's just flatly true that Weiss is not a journalist. She's an opinion writer, and not a particularly good one. Viewers are going to notice the shift because she's not subtle about it.

Not gonna say this couldn't be true, but NYT has published a bunch of "Harvard on verge of deal" articles in the last few weeks. More important, though, is the fact that Harvard has already gutted its inclusionary practices and academic freedom: bsky.app/profile/bord.... @aaup.org

one of the most important conversations tech companies should have about every new feature and product is "how can this be abused" and in OpenAI's case they apparently decided to make that the selling point for their new app this is a million lawsuits and ruined lives waiting to happen

When Trump threatens to nix funding to NYC if Zohran Mamdani wins, it only helps Zohran. It inflates the Trump threat, positions Zohran as a fighter for NYC against Trump, and pushes Cuomo into the role of Trump stooge. There's a lesson here for Dems. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2011...

This is perfect. And universities could save a lot of money by buying one for each student instead of letting Altman et al rob them blind for no educational return

I regret to inform you that I pretty much called it.

Read this one sentence from Zohran Mamdani: “I will be a mayor who doesn’t bow down to corporate interests, doesn’t take his orders from billionaires, and sure as hell doesn’t let ICE steal our neighbors from their homes." It's the perfect rebuttal to "Trump's authoritarianism is a distraction."

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Something something wasting valuable taxpayer dollars on unqualified hires and ridiculous programs

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Fact: Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible to purchase the ACA coverage we’re trying to protect. Republicans voted to hike costs and take health care away from American citizens. Including their own constituents. Read that again. Over and over.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

They're also removing the Anti from their name.

BREAKING: WE WON!!! 💥 💥 💥 Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment. Full ruling here:

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.
