I've never put much stock in the Nobels, except for maybe Toni's, but this is egregious. I knew nothing about this person so I did some digging. I now want to review all winners through an imperialist nation building project lens.

When "all of this" is over and the centrist pundits and politicians are kissing Musk's ass again, don't let them. Don't let anyone ignore that Musk is a mass murderer.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Oh, gosh, look at that...

A WGN-TV video editor and producer was roughly detained by two Border Patrol agents on Friday morning during a highly visible rush hour enforcement action in Lincoln Square.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

When I was reporting in Sudan several years ago, a driver warned me not to tell government officials when I was leaving because the airport is where they stop and detain writers. So, yeah, this is a very bad sign. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Big thank you to the great @murray.senate.gov for joining Meidas Health today with my great friend and physician leader @drkavitapatel.bsky.social to break down the terrible impacts of rhe government shutdown on our nations health.

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

BREAKING: Federal judge issues a TRO in the Northern District of Illinois (including Chicago and the Broadview ICE facility), providing protections for protesters and journalists covering the protests. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Some of the key elements:

In June I announced that I was retiring from NYU after 39 years, but I am not leaving the field, or the fight for a public service press. Today I can explain what I meant by not leaving the field. I have a new job: president of News Creator Corps. Read on. newscreatorcorps.org/2025/10/news...

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Elon Musk once said he would pursue former Twitter execs to the ends of the earth. Instead, he just settled their $128 million lawsuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

The CIA’s deputy director has “abruptly demoted” the CIA’s acting general counsel & installed himself in that role, thus taking “control of making legal judgments for the agency while continuing to help lead it…” (This follows Hegseth’s termination of top military legal officials in Feb.) 10/6/25 1/

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

nice

My colleagues at the White House developed an AI Bill of Rights in 2022, shown on the left, which outlined principles to protect people and communities. A lot of the work I’m doing now is defining my principles and analysis for a climate amendment to the AI Bill of Rights, as shown on the right.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

Pope Leo urged the world's 1.4 billion Catholics on Sunday to care for immigrants, pressing ahead with a message of welcome for migrants days after criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump's hard-line anti-immigration policies. For @reuters.com:

Nothing says “stopping corruption” like appointing a sock puppet to your cabinet www.politico.eu/article/alba...

@propublica.org please, please can you dig into the costs of ICE and DHS with actual removal stats etc? I keep getting numbers of how many fewer removals are happening in 2025 compared to 2024, but I have no clue how to judge the numbers.

And they’ll get zero credit for it.

It was clear from the beginning that ICE staffing up was going to be a full employment program for racists, barroom bullies and wife beaters

Liberals, centrists and moderates only oppose Donald Trump and Republicans to go back to the status quo that only works for them. But the status quo isn’t working for many people anymore. They are not opposed to the system that gave economic and social insecurity which led to political instability

Reading Lucky Loser. If you are into scam artists and real crime podcasts this is the book for you. The bastard as a cadette in the military school borrowed the jacket of a student who had many awards and wore it so he can claim the awards. Let's not talk about his father's life scamming FHA.

Sadism is the defining feature of Nazism.

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Kash is having a meltdown on Xitter, I guess bc he promised SOMEONE a perp walk and got told that's going to on exacerbate his own problems.

The violated the 4th amendment rights of everybody in that building and zip tied children for this

Has Trump said anything about his former “spiritual leader”, Robert Morris, who was just sentenced to 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl? Will the media even bother to ask him?

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

I think the Stassi were more subtle

Director of the Danish Defence Intelligence Service Thomas Ahrenkiel: “It is our assessment that Russia is currently waging a hybrid war against Denmark and the West.”

Yes, the US government is now controlled by 4chan-addled middle aged men who post cringe memes.

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from. Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump: SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346% Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.
