Phew. This is the best thing I’ve read this week and is absolutely worth your time.

I see so many reactions from Americans justifying what ICE is doing. They don’t seem to care about the *how* of immigration enforcement, the fact #ICE agents lack training or good judgment, or the fact ICE themselves are violating constitutional laws.

You know how everyone said that ICE wearing masks and not showing ID was going to lead to criminals impersonating ICE to do bad things? Well, it's happening. from @dell.bsky.social and @carolinehaskins.bsky.social

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

This is what an inspiring, grassroots, people-first campaign meeting people where their concerns are can actually do.

Met some Northwestern student journalists at a rally on the weekend. This last few years has only grown my respect for the importance of local, independent reporting. Really great local reporting by Emily Dissanayake and @lucaskubovchik.bsky.social @medillschool.bsky.social

One thing Trump shut down by destroying USAID was programs (at least in Asia) to protect Christian minorities.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

Some of the best coverage I've seen of the absolutely unprofessional, erratic, violent behavior of #ICE agents in Evanston, IL on Halloween. These are not the best of the best. They are terrorizing citizens and communities with their incompetence, and violating Constitutional rights to due process.

"Federal immigration agents fanned out across Chicago and its North Shore suburbs on Halloween, chasing suspects through front yards, driving S.U.V.s onto sidewalks and using chemical agents during confrontations with furious residents." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/u...

Please please share the video evidence and stories about how 🧊 is targeting communities. These are not well trained agents arresting criminals, they are masked goons violently abducting workers & citizens near schools. The only thing making it a war zone is #ICE. Communities don’t want them here.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan. I never made it out of the House.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The ad was taken out by 1 province, not by the Canadian federal government. Also, it was Reagan’s exact words, which are in the public domain. Trump is an embarrassment to the office.

It saddens me that they need sanctuary Institute of Development Studies offers sanctuary to US health equity researchers www.ids.ac.uk/news/uk-inst...

Imagine thinking this ad is offensive but hey the AI video with the president literally dumping feces in Americans is perfectly fine.

Trump is very upset about an anti-tariff ad Ontario put out drawing on a Reagan speech. Many outlets are reporting Trump is ending trade negotiations with Canada as a result, but oddly they’re not all liking to the ad. So, here it is. In case you were wondering what all the fuss is about.

Unpaid lowlife over here 🙋‍♀️

If you would like to support some of the families of people who have been abducted by ICE in my area during the recent federal attacks on our community that I've written about, local organizers have put together this trusted list of crowd funds.

👀👀👀

Neighbors in Chicagoland are working to try to keep our community members safe given lack of due process or federal interest in obeying laws during Operation Midway Blitz. Home Depot appears to be enabling ICE teams to enter & detain folks. Protests occurring outside them, & boycotts commencing.

Dear Republican officials: yes, Trump was popularly elected in 2024. But people can change their minds about the people they elected. Many people who voted for him are VERY concerned. That's why your #TownHalls are going poorly, & why #NoKings was a huge success. Duly take note.

Another case of how inadequate US gov't regulation of the healthcare industry enables unethical profit-seeking practices among bad actors, which undermines our health system, our health providers, and clearly, our patients. This is why #ForProfitHealthcare doesn't work. #PatientsBeforeProfits

new from me: I looked at the wild levels of illegality on display as WH budget chief, Russell Vought, shuffles money around to ensure Trump's top priorities remain funded during the shutdown. it's a play meant to lessen the pain the GOP feels even absent Congress actually appropriating those funds

Imagine being so deluded as to believe that Chuck Schumer has so much power that he could have gotten MILLIONS of folks to give up their Saturday to join peaceful protests against the Trump Administration.

Jesus Christ We are in deep trouble

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

How many classes today were canceled because a whole suite of EdTech services are built atop AWS? You know what platform never crashes?

in its original form the medicaid expansion was basically mandatory and would have very clearly formed the nucleus of a genuinely universal system. and in its neutered form (thanks john roberts) it is still a powerful policy that can be built on and expanded in straightforward ways

The largest mass protests by number of participants in US history happened yesterday and the only mention on the front page of the NYT is Jamelle Bouie's opinion column: no diner-diving for sentiments of the unheard masses, no coverage of the Trump video, no sense for what it says about the moment.

I’m glad this is being covered. Federal judges have been warning us as best they know how. When I looked into this back in June, I found dozens of cases where judges suggested that the Trump administration’s conduct was untrustworthy or acting in bad faith.

Free balls. 🎾 #NoKings

So far this is my favorite view of the size of marches across the country. Can’t really get a sense of the scale of the Chicago #NoKings event with a still at grant park because it’s a huge area. But man when they start walking down the street, estimates are the crowd went for 22 blocks…

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states. See if you can spot it! /s Then you can find today's story on p A23

everyone: we don’t want kings rightwing media: this is a confusing protest line, no one is claiming trump is a king the entire trump administration:

No Kings Rally Trump Inauguration

Realizing if the apocalypse comes I’ll be an asset. #FallHarvest #Preserves

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

What was so remarkable about the protest in Chicago was how ages ranged from newborns to folks in their 90’s, people with mobility devices, folks of every imaginable ethnicity and background. Turns out, Trump really does attract the biggest crowds. #NoKings

Was a lovely day for a walk in the city with a bunch of friends and neighbors. #Chicago #NoKings

The L trains are packed full of protesters headed to #Nokings

Several years ago I gave a talk in France about privatized healthcare in the USA. 1st question from the audience: why aren’t Americans taking to the streets in protest? I think we’re hitting a critical moment where wide public concerns will be felt all over the nation today. #NoKings
