"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Oh hey — you know that big Chicago raid where Stephen Miller said the building was “FILLED” with gang members? @propublica found 0 evidence of Tren De Aragua, the men weren’t charged with any crimes. 🤔 (sound familiar Tennessee?) All for show. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

MAGA has reached the “but is raping teenage girls really all that bad” stage of coping.

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

What an easy governing philosophy Republicans have. Just blame every problem on Biden, Democrats, and migrants. Then you never have to solve anything and can blame all your failures on other people. This is especially useful when you are grossly unqualified for your position.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people. They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections. He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

I’d just like to reiterate that if you put on a mask, and go out without a warrant and kidnap people because they aren’t white enough, you’re a huge piece of shit…

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Every time Ghislaine Maxwell lies to shield Trump, her prison digs get upgraded. At this rate she’ll be living at the Four Seasons by Christmas. The hotel. Not the landscaping company.

I’m so tired of bad people getting away with doing bad things.

I heard someone refer to the US as 50 developing countries that happen to have an arms budget big enough to fight God. I look at our options here for mass transit, healthcare, education and can only agree. Getting our economic stats from doordash is just one more confirmation.

In other news, my morning is going very well, thank you

Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by a high pitched noise in the workplace that only you can hear, which means that when you yank the cord no one notices the noise stopped, only what device you unplugged

Normal isn't coming back so get off your knees and fight back - what they have planned for us is far worse than anything they've already done.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

I was reading and gasped, a few minutes later went "oooh!" and the guy next to me in the waiting room asked what I was reading that was so exciting. "Survey and Insights into Unmanned Aerial-Vehicle-Based Detection and Documentation of Clandestine Graves and Human Remains" #NerdAlert

May the gates of Hell swing open and divine justice sweep away him and his entire administration, in the name of Christ, Amen.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving. Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Texas was on its way to this but Governor Hotwheels bowed to corporate interests and restricted it

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Trade and migration are deeply connected. The USMCA must stop fueling displacement and start prioritizing sound immigration policy, human rights, and labor protections. Along with prominent migrant justice groups, we outline how in new comments to USTR.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is projected to win the New York City Mayoral election, reports @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social

Last Christmas things were so busy that I didn't have time to do everything, I ended up picking up pizza for my nephew, we ate in the car during an extra long wash cycle and it was actually a pretty fabulous moment, some calm in the middle of the storm. Today feels like a pizza in the carwash day

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Hi, I’m God. Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Thanks, God

Silver linings to all the turmoil this year: we were not alone in remembering the losses our communities faced. The public is waking up, wiping away their tears, and taking action. mailchi.mp/3d1ab07c6df9...

Happy Election Day. Some people really meant it when they said they were gonna leave if Mamdani won.

there was a time i never thought i could hate a politician more than i hated that guy. in retrospect, very naive of me
