I have no words for how important and powerful this is. Calling for you to care about yourself. Calling for you to care about the world. Calling you to care about future children here now and to come. This is the truth, the lesson to be learned by living a loving balanced life. This is the elixir

Jane Goodall being a true Mage archetype and telling people to launch billionaires into space as her final words. You don’t get much more mythic then that Dr. Goodall www.reddit.com/r/interestin...

“The woman volunteer corroborated an earlier report that Greta Thunberg was physically beaten and forced to wear an an Israeli flag tied to her back while she was dragged along – then went on to describe the terrible prison conditions .., including being starved and forced to drink toilet water”

“As the children looked on, they watched ICE officials pull a distraught man out of his car. The students, who were bound for #Plymouth Community Intermediate School, were left aghast, as was the bus driver.” #AbolishICE #Massachusetts #mapoli

Not one of their better sketches but I love seeing KDPH going mainstream!!!

I've seen maybe 2 episodes of The Simpsons, only 1 of Seinfeld. Meh.

Even the ADL has a section on their website about ‘moon man’ as a neo-Nazi symbol www.adl.org/resources/ha... The Trump regime is sharing the same symbol used by neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers

This tactic is in the news again because ICE agents in Colorado were filmed breaking the window of a car with a baby in the backseat coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...

ICE and CBP agents seized the phone of an immigration lawyer at Logan Airport while he was returning from vacation even though—let's face it, probably *because*—the phone contains privileged information about his clients.

Van Hollen is the rare Dem politician, especially true among Senators, who seems to be overcome by moral purpose. It is galvanizing, spiritually uplifting, and a necessary component of ending this fascist moment.

Statement on Abuse of Power of ICE and Other Federal Agents in Chicago

As a public defender, I generally feel annoyed when people post evidence on socials, but there are exceptions to every rule.

I’ve historically supported Pritzker for appearing to meet the moment, but right now his troopers look no different from their counterparts in reddest Texas. Until this changes, all we’ve seen only amounts to so many words on a screen.

genuinely impossible to overstate what the secret police are doing. It is state hooliganism. It is gangsterism as policy. It is the jouissance of the original klan nightriders that followed the civil war. they terrorize minority communities while intentionally paralyzing local governments.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

It's October, and that means it's time for my annual Haunting of Hill House rewatch!

One of the things we are going to have to be very, very aware of is that a lot of people who are being heavily armed right now will simply not be willing to accept the results of a democratic election because they will go to jail.

Making tacos and listening to Halloween music as God intended.

Interesting use of the passive voice you've got there, CNN..

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

WHUT We all saw the opposite, sir. Don't lie.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Some of the next steps we need to take in opposition to fascism should not be discussed online. Plan accordingly. Know your neighbors. Local solidarity.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows How did the city do it? Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

Decided I'm gonna do a fun game this month: #MakeItAGhostStory Give me a well-known tale (can be a book, movie, show, or folktale) that's NOT already a ghost story and I will write a spooky microfic! Feel free to share and write your own too!

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

This is deeply deeply unconstitutional. Like literally the entire point of the revolution and eventually writing of the constitution was to prevent one man from making laws by themselves. Just full uncut pure dictator now.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Justice Jackson is obviously correct. SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE are now illegally going to have their status terminated early — as every court other than the Supreme Court has found so far. Not a single word of justification from the Justices in the majority to justify this. NONE. Not one.

Right now, the unemployment rate is 4.3%, but for Black women it's a staggering 6.7%. Over 320,000 Black women have lost their jobs from the federal govt to the private sector. This systematic targeting of Black women is intentional. It's devastating for our communities, economy, and our country.

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Video shows the alderperson asking agents if they had a judicial warrant for a man’s arrest before an agent violently spins her around and handcuffs her.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

“.. His conclusion is very stark: not just that an economy already at stall speed will fall into recession as both the data-center and wealth effects plateau, but that they’ll reverse, just as in the dot-com bubble did ..” @marketwatch.com www.marketwatch.com/story/the-ai...

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/k... My friend just sent me this with a quote "the constitution is dead". I see no evidence to the contrary.

The images that will stick in my mind from this week include jackbooted thugs rappelling from a Blackhawk helicopter to rip children from their beds in Chicago and yet another indiscriminate murder from the sky, both events celebrated by a lawless administration in videos shared on social media.
