Joel Camas is a 16 yr-old NYC high-school junior in the Bronx. He loves soccer & pepperoni pizza. Yesterday morning, his lawyer and I accompanied him to an ICE check-in. He has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) — it should have been fine. But it was not.💔 [thread]

the instagram algo is generally so dogshit but without fail any time I see a really funny video on tiktok, the next time I open insta it shows me the same exacr video. desperate behavior

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

grocery trip on my day off! love my ebike :) #carryshitolympics

it's wild to me that we have a letter from 850+ rabbis denouncing zohran mamdani for things he never said and positions he never took while no such letter has been written condemning stephen miller for claiming to "defend jewish values" while being an utter fucking nazi and dismantling our democracy

its all been downhill since we stoppwd having to have rooms for Computer

A Jewish-American journalist was attacked by Israeli settlers nearly a week ago, and Senate Democrats Chuck Schumer (party leader) and Kirsten Gillibrand (DSCC leader), and Rep. Dan Goldman have apparently completely ignored him:

Scott: Her whole race is about policing bathrooms. They’re the pee-and-poop caucus. That’s all they do—they police where kids are going to the bathroom. They’re not worried about where kids are learning or what they’re getting out of school.

You know, I would never in a thousand years have expected "Ronald Reagan was in favor of free trade" to be a controversial statement with the Republican faithful, but here we go.

im so glad we normalized sports gambling and even made it obnoxiously ubiquitous. surely nothing could go all wobbly from that

They show up in their masks and body armor and preposterously large guns, and get absolutely thwarted by ... a $10 door lock. It's genuinely interesting to me to see how parts of the law are holding in ways that may be a bit hard to explain.

"WHITE HOUSE DESTROYED" is a Weekly World News cover story, folks. Of COURSE regular people are going to care, and that's even *before* we get to "Actually, poor people are capable of appreciating symbolism and making connections between the WH destruction, the ballroom, and SNAP being nuked"

By the way if Platner was serious about his duty to the country and not just in it for the power, he'd have already stepped down. Republicans are gonna run "see they have Nazis too" ads in the general and he knows it and his team knows it but they don't care.

People across the country are fighting for their lives and also to protect their neighbors. They are doing so in the 100s of thousands every single day. You can choose to join the fight or you can pretend that "no one is doing anything."

i like that we know the ICE fitness standards now because now we all know exactly how fast we need to be able to run to be just slightly faster than any given ICE agent. a useable training goal

It's a pretty common issue is formerly machine-dominated sapphire blue states where the establishment has long viewed the left as their primary electoral foe (because it was, functionally) but have gotten so lost in the sauce they're actually compromising the power of the whole coalition

love this song open.spotify.com/track/0g5fNX...

over the past 6 months my dad (a lifelong centrist) has rapidly transformed from "surely the Republicans in congress will come to their senses any moment now" to now being significantly more doomer about the future of american politics than I am

On a basic publicity level this is one of the most weird and amateurish things I’ve ever seen a brand do, let alone a politician. It looks awful, barely a step above jibjab

Cuomo released a "Muslims Against Mamdani" video and one of the people just straight up accuses Mamdani of being Hindu

Latest: I wrote about the DHS Office of Public Affairs shameless lies about ICE arrests and all the times it's lied to me and other reporters lately. DHS did not respond to my request for comment about all the lies it's told. reason.com/2025/10/22/h...

An OpenAI executive said GPT-5 found solutions to 10 "previously unsolved" math problems when in reality all it did was find online references to places where people had already solved them techcrunch.com/2025/10/19/o...

There is simply no compelling argument that, “it’s not apartheid because they have citizenship of the Palestinian authority, but also the settlements are fine because it’s Israeli territory.” You cannot have it both ways.

It sounds like she’s saying the video release, podcast appearance, and subsequent rationalization were part of an *intentional* strategy to “get ahead of” a coming oppo dump about the tattoo? If so, that’s a failure of political awareness and instincts as disqualifying as the tattoo itself, tbh.

1. outrageous and offensive 2. speaking as someone who's spent eight years running an organization with a very clear rule that "when the primary's over we get behind the winner, no matter what", I do not think centrist Democrats understand the pandora's box they are unleashing with this bullshit

Haven't seen anyone comment on it yet but this local Illinois journalist has revealed that internal AIPAC fundraising emails call both Kat Abu and Daniel Biss anti-American for their opposition to Israeli apartheid.

this is accurate along multiple dimensions they’re getting dumber and more right wing but they are now smarter and more left wing in comparison to the people they see on twitter all day (stupid nazis) which also leads them to be even more prone to dismissing criticism from the left

Was it a culture of transphobia killed this girl? No it must be them phones Esther Ghey please stop im begging you

arguably the most successful and widespread strike in us history is also largely forgotten. The slave strike during the civil war, slaves emanncipated themselves and crossed union lines. disrupting the slaver economy and war effort. when slavers asked general butler for the return of their property

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

[dumbest moron you'll see this week voice] signal is not secure because the government has backdoors. i use a private discord instead

18 Oct 2025 -- Pop star/singer Sabrina Carpenter will now use her arena tour to funnel proceeds through the Sabrina Carpenter Fund to benefit the Transgender Law Center. Good on ya' SC! @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

First Trump administration story in a while that genuinely shocked me:

A reminder that if violent crime in Seattle was not currently dropping, militarizing our streets would still be inappropriate and a bad idea.

“People [in tech jobs] worry that not being seen as uncritical AI cheerleaders will be a career-limiting move…for those who aren't insiders in the tech industry, it's vital that you understand that you've been presented with an extremely distorted view about what tech workers really think about AI”

In my professional opinion 'lewd conduct' laws are about actual dicks, not inflatable dicks

Zohran Mamdani Refuses To Share Plan For Making Rich Richer

Looking around at all these people marching and I'm starting to get the impression people might be upset with the president

No sign of feds so far, and a MIND-BLOWINGLY SMALL number of cops. Like, so many less than I'd expect for a protest of this size under normal circumstances Maybe the feds made a big ol' unforced error when they antagonized the Chicago Police idk

my voice was shaking a lot but I spoke at the microphone to say we shouldn't abandon trans people the way our representative @sethmoulton.bsky.social has. until recently, it was nearly impossible to even keep a job as an trans person. we cannot let them roll that clock back. we must stand together.

at the no kings protest in salem. turnout seems higher than the June 14 one, and there are lots more cars and foot traffic passing by (because october). lots of people in Halloween costumes, including the infamous antifa frog

Ok this protest has me rapidly reevaluating my personal safety rating. If you are trans and its safe to do so, try to head out today.

Now WeRateDogs is TRIPLING THE FUCK DOWN and talking about how often cops shoot dogs

No Kings won't gain us any ground, it's true. But No Kings helps us hold the line — a line that is very much at risk There can be no mass movement if the masses succumb to fear and despair

First blocklist I've every fully endorsed. There's a bunch on here

It feels not unlikely that a presence on Bluesky is in part so they can mine content to screenshot and repost on X as evidence of leftist terrorism or whatever

AI is reshaping the workplace, but at what cost? Journalist Hilke Schellmann reveals the flaws of algorithmic hiring and how workers can adapt to a world where machines decide who gets in the door.

Years ago there was a Twitter leak that disclosed actual countries and email address of many ppl's IDs. To this day you can find MAGA accounts – that were originally started by posting cat pictures – praising Hitler and, if you trace their account ID, are actually run from Pakistan. It's all an op

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up. Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other. We go through this every 3 years and it works every time.
