Does anyone else find this highly suspect? www.wired.com/story/scott-...

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers. It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members. They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Let’s check in on the warzone in Portland.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

www.newsweek.com/jane-goddall... What an amazing woman. This is such a loss🥺

Did our draft dodger in chief just tell all the military generals that we need to use our cities as training grounds for the military?? WTH???

1 transgender shooter GOP: "We must institutionalize all transgenders!" 47,209 white male shooters GOP: "This is the cost of freedom."

newrepublic.com/post/201013/... Birds of a feather. These girls having to suffer these disgusting men is nauseating.

Outrageous.

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today: 1. Your countries all suck. 2. None of you know what you are doing. 3. The US is better at everything. 4. All because of me. 5. I’m right about everything. 6. You should listen to me & do what I say. 7. And give me lots of awards.

I’ve never eaten kale and I don’t have autism, so clearly kale causes autism.

I’m not taking medical advice from a man who can’t pronounce an over-the-counter drug…

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

Stay focused.

In summary: The hateful Charlie Kirk was shot by the acolyte of a more hateful version of Charlie Kirk. It wasn’t any of the imaginary bogeymen they were hoping for. Just a case of them slowly drowning in their own hate.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

As a trial lawyer for 15+ years, I’ve never seen a case this big. The Epstein files aren’t about partisan politics. They’re about predators, power, and justice. And Trump’s lies about his ties tell us everything we need to know.

What else do you all need

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead. Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

“It is not a radical idea to say that every man, woman and child in America can have a decent standard of living.”

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Stratton: This is a manufactured crisis. They’re deliberately stoking fear and knowing people will react. And then, when people do react — when they raise their voices, when they resist and protest — the Trump administration will claim, “Now we have to come in and restore order.”

First Bernie Sanders. Then the CDC directors. Now, more than 1,000 current and former HHS staffers are demanding he step down.

If they can pay this to a CEO then we need to stop tax breaks to corporations. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/09/...

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Lisa Cook is right not to resign. Trump’s attempt to fire her without cause is flatly illegal. www.nysun.com/article/i-wi...

The same people who told you that socialism "doesn't work" also told you that trickle-down economics "does work".

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?

Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
