Do you have any “indicia … of violent and terroristic activities”? Here’s a Cosmo Quiz, err, sorry, 10 factors listed in Trump’s executive order suggesting you might subscribe to “anti-fascism.”

71.5% of current ICE detainees have no criminal convictions tracreports.org/immigration/...

It's almost like authoritarianism isn't a done deal and opposition can still work

“It is in this realm—in which the prosecutor picks some person he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and the looks for an offense, that the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power lies.” Justice Robert Jackson, 1940 www.justice.gov/sites/defaul...

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Don’t shoot at ICE. Take them to court. Don’t use violence. Use your voice. No one should be murdered, not immigrants, not ICE agents, no one. Condolences to their families, all of them. Can’t believe this needs to be said.

The Dept. of Homeland Security has a new statement out about deportations. They're saying they have deported ~400,000 people since Trump took office That puts them on pace to deport ~600,000 people in one year they say I suspect that includes people removed by both ICE and...

If we’re going through the federal budget in search of areas to cut, I would maybe cut the budget line where we pay Tom Homan $50,000 in cash, consequence-free, to demonstrate that he is susceptible to bribes. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

I wonder if there is a lesson in this

In his entire answer he notably never once denies taking the $50,000.

"There are too many people that have said that the way we win is we throw immigrants under the bus or throw trans folks under the bus or adjust our position somewhat to the right on those issues and hope people believe us. That's not right and it won't work," says @gregcasar.bsky.social.

What we might refer to as a Kavanaugh Raid

NY Mets have collapsed. LV Aces lost. My country’s democracy is circling the drain. And now to salvage a shred of happiness for just one Sunday, I must depend on … the NY Giants.

So, Tom Homan just got to keep the $50,000, didn’t he?

Also no notes

I used to think that mass deportation was mostly about racism and white nationalism. But I realize now that some of it is just corruption and bags of cash.

No notes, @aoc.bsky.social

Mass deportation requires mass detention. An array of draconian legal maneuvers designed to lock immigrants up without hope for release have produced a high stakes, multi-front legal war across the county. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

They closed this investigation into a Trump henchman then fired a U.S. Attorney for refusing to prosecute Trump adversaries. Everything is fine.

Imagine doing this, then casting judgment on immigrants

Rep. Horsford is my congressman, and among all in the Nevada delegation he’s probably done the most to speak out for his immigrant constituents this year. It’s pretty painful to see him needing to speak out about physical safety risks in being able to practice basic democracy

Good morning. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for everyone to avoid having any bad legal takes today. Thx.

NEW: Unsurprisingly, Kristi Noem extends the "mass influx" declaration authorizing it to deputize local police for ICE. Buried in the notice is new official data on ICE removals, showing 145k removal from Oct. 2024 to Sept. 8. This is substantially lower than previous figures leaked to the press.

Folks ignored mass deportation the same way

Everything is fine

Judge Boulware (Federal District Court, Nevada) issues injunction rejecting Trump Administration's mass detention policy which (illegally) denied bond to most undocumented immigrants while they fight their deportations.

My grandparents told me stories about a time long ago when all of America was anti-fascist

I’d be curious for historians’ perspective. But seems to me we are now squarely in the most repressive period for speech in America since McCarthyism, maybe beyond.

Fascinating way to honor someone who, many are saying, was a champion of free speech

The Regime politely asks to be criticized less

The right wing billionaires are soon going to control almost every single major media outlet.
