What a shit sandwich this all is

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

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

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

Grateful my son has an English teacher thoughtful enough to assign works on Greek mythology including passages like this.

Charles Xavier: My school helps mutants control their powers. This is Cyclops, he was my first student and he is totally incapable of controlling his powers. This is Jean Grey, she started with Scott. She also cannot control her powers. And meet Rogue, yep you guessed it, can't control her powers

something/someone is regretting that bite 🍄

I would very much like to be able to LOOK and MAKE EYE CONTACT. But if the driver hides behind a blackout windshield, one can only sit there like an asshole, while they sit at a stop sign to scroll their insta or have sex, or whatever is you need blackouts for. Maybe they're famous? Who knows.

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.

New and rather obvious form of political resistance just dropped

Several times a day, I write a post that goes like, "This is insanely racist!" or "This is all lies!" or "I don't think we can trust a single Republican" or "I wouldn't let my kids visit a friend's house if I knew their parents were Republican". Then I delete them.

Before I turn on @npr.org again or read another @nytimes.com editorial, because I know exactly how it'll be: This isn't "a threat" to academic freedom. It's not igniting "a debate" about it. The "future" of academic freedom isn't at stake. This is what the end of academic freedom has made possible.

Donald Trump is pursuing retribution the right way. by Ezra Klein

Coney has access the best defense lawyers in the country, many of whom would be eager to donate their services.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

I live in Des Moines, am doing my practicum in DMPS. We are floored. This is terrorism. They are sending a message to our students and our community.

This rules so hard. It's been a longstanding conviction of mine that the best way to convince people to replace car trips with ebike trips is by letting them try out an ebike for free. Love the Oakland Public Library. oaklandside.org/2025/09/25/o...

“This is a colonial project, aimed at tech empire,” says Gil Duran, a former political consultant. “It sounds like colonization 2.0. When you go to another person's country and create your own country there.”

Mainly because a clear plurality of Americans do not know who James Comey is, and this is another instance of the right-wing cinematic universe coming into contact with reality and reality not knowing what the fuck they're talking about. www.splinter.com/trump-is-wea...

I know the word “antichrist” carries a lot of baggage from film, tv, and other media, and the Evangelicals have done nothing to to educate, but the plain meaning is *anyone* who works against Christ.

Another amazing moment for my coyote encounter the other morning. It’s neat to watch the family dynamics. Keep an eye on the two on the right. One of them is very clearly submissive and rolls over at the drop of a hat. It was so neat to just float there and watch them. #mammals 🌿

If you are Lindsey Halligan this is like signing up to coach your kid’s basketball team and finding out that the first team you play is somehow coached by Steve Kerr or Gregg Popovich

I was a recipient — it was a huge PRIVILEGE to receive it — made it extremely easy to spend the first two years of my PhD focusing on the what and the why. If you were a recipient, you want to apply, or you know someone who does, please sign.

So glad The Onion is back

At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.

the rick & morty episode about heist movies is almost totally perfect, except for Elon's cameo, which is like a sun-dried and whitened turd on the sidewalk

I used to say that there still time left (but not much) to repent of one's Trump support. Just watched the Kimmel monologue. If you're one of the elite** and you're still holding on, I think it's far too late. ** "I didn't know" no longer a valid excuse, so now it goes to judgment & morality

I went car-less for five years, getting a hybrid plug-in car before our baby comes, and you better believe I'm gonna floor that shit* *not with baby in car

Schrödinger's Shooter exists as both a deranged leftist motivated by dangerous rhetoric AND as a misunderstood troubled youth who needed Jesus until the waveform collapses

hoping they starting filming Alien: Earth s2 a while ago

It's been a big 24hrs for out-and-out science denial. First, Trump seems to want his MAGA cultists to collectively win the Darwin Award via his denial of medical science Now, Trump is denying more than a century of climate science. Denial = Lives lost Thank you for your attention to this matter

Gotta say, Republicans really seem to understand Ag policy. Impressive stuff.

Statues of President Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein on the National Mall show the First Amendment continues to be upheld in one of our most sacred civic spaces for freedom of speech, expression, association, & the press. (I spoke with a Washington Post reporter about what this means.)
