If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt keeps beclowning himself. He defends Nazi salutes and rhetoric by Elon Musk, and Musk thanks him by attacking ADL and all its programs. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Mario was simply doing his job as a reporter when police targeted him. He was detained 108+ days, muzzled by the admin. Today, the US govt is deporting him to El Salvador, which he fled for safety reasons. This chilling practice seeks to silence dissent & truth. www.democracynow.org/2025/10/3/ma...

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

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.”

“we heard tale of expanding the tent”

you know you have good and popular ideas when you have to buy up all the old and new media companies and staff them with soulless hacks and sycophants dedicated to blowing smoke up your ass

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.

People talk a lot about what the Founders would make of Trump but here we have him firing a govt employee as part of an effort to give a gift to the literal King of England

Chris Murphy makes a detailed case that Trump is on the brink of meaningfully restricting the space in which the opposition can do politics, in the competitive authoritarian model of autocracies abroad. "If we are not already there, we are really, really close." 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

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...

Yeah here’s where offering to bail out the GOP on a political problem they created while leaving threats of military occupation untouched really baffles me.

this should be a much bigger story

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

A quick note about money and comedy and power. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I hate that so many outlets are using the word "crackdown." Crackdown on what? The majority of people being kidnapped have no criminal record of any kind, and to zip-tie children and take them from their parents is pure evil.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

spilled wine all over my bedsheet thank you very much

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

That last episode of Peacemaker keeps reminding me of when I visited Israel years ago to see a good friend who'd made aliya. I was shocked he couldn't see the casual racism all around him - or didn't care.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Mario Guevara is our neighbor. We do not tolerate his unconstitutional detention by the United States government.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

HIT HIM AGAIN, ZOHRAN.

At this point the way the ADL could do teshuvah this Yom Kippur would be to release their existing anti-hate materials and glossaries for others to use, disband, and let us rebuild an anti-antisemitism organization from the ground up. Because we really need one right about now.

Defunct, useless organization jewishinsider.com/2025/09/adl-...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

So being against racism and fascism and standing with one’s community for self-defense is now considered a crime? Shame on UNC. This is Dwayne Dixon. I know Dwayne and the students testifying to how great of a professor he is in the comments on Instagram are as shocked as I am.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Very helpful thread

There used to be a sort of social contract that the PMC classes had with red states that has been completely ripped apart and I honestly don't know how that's going to feed into housing market growth and corporate relocations.

Israel is paying 14-18 year old social media influencers $7000 per post to spread pro-Israel messaging. Source: Nick Cleveland-Stout (@nick_clevelands on X): x.com/nick_clevela...

AIO (AI optimization) is the new SEO. This is one more reason why treating GenAIs as oracles of truth is insane. They only regurgitate what they've been trained on and if someone can influence the training, they can control what answers you get.

I work with Veterans. If I told them that they "killed people and broke things for a living" they would (rightfully) tell me to go to hell. Those that have had to kill someone in the line of duty most often view it with sadness, regret, and one of the worst experiences of their lives.

ICYMI: I wrote about why it's impossible to compromise with conservatives on trans issues. They've already rejected the common sense compromise positions and lie about us anyway.

A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough for the first time since 2012. The infant was less than two months old and was not old enough to receive the pertussis vaccine. buff.ly/8epl2QS

This is embarrassing, frankly.

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.

Good thread from a woman whose expertise literally kept me and my men alive in Baghdad, thereby ensuring our infantry company's success

is it really absolutely imperative that, like, an Army neurosurgeon does "hard PT" 5 days a week? You just sound absurd, dudebro, and wildly insecure. 6/

BREAKING A federal judge that the Trump admin's policy targeting pro-Palestinian students for deportation violated the First Amendment. His blistering, 161-page ruling starts with a threat he received in chambers and his response.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

What Pritzker's saying and doing isn't some particularly nuanced one neat trick kind of strategy. Most of it's fairly obvious. He's just the only one using the real constitutional crisis playbook against a consolidating authoritarian regime, meanwhile most other Dems aren't even on the right field.

If I were a producer for the new Harry Potter TV series, with a duty of care towards the three child actors playing the leads, I’d find the way Rowling treats the leads of the last screen adaptation to be hair-raising, to put it lightly.
