Shots fired at immigration agents in Little Village as residents confront Bovino, Border Patrol, authorities say Community members once again confronted a convoy of Border Patrol agents led by Cmdr. Gregory Bovino as it moved through Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods.

Federal immigration agents pepper-sprayed an infant today.

It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

Trump also just released the guy who lied to the FBI about the Bidens taking bribes.

He has ties to Russian intelligence — and Trump’s businesses.

Again: The law does not apply to them.

The Trump Administration’s cruelty knows no bounds. It’s one thing to spar with your political opponents—but starving children and seniors to make a point? That’s negligence.

I’m proud to join @repjahanahayes.bsky.social in prohibiting this administration from playing politics with people’s lives.

The President Is Perfectly Fine If You Starve The message behind the government shutdown is loud and clear: Hunger is acceptable collateral damage in service of Trump’s agenda.

Exxon’s Latest Supreme Court Hail Mary - The American Prospect Oil companies insist that if cases are allowed to proceed, it could have major ramifications for the future of their industry. Will a Supreme Court willing to grant Trump immunity for his crimes do the same for Trump’s oil industry backers?

Oil companies are looking to the Supreme Court to rescue them from dozens of lawsuits. Recent financial disclosures from the justices show four of them have oily fingers, with past or present financial or familial ties to the industry. From @hannahstoryb.bsky.social:

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month:

“.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

A Border Patrol agent bragged about shooting someone, texts show "Sweet. My fifteen mins of fame. Lmao."

“Sweet. My fifteen mins of fame. Lmao.”

This is what Border Patrol agent Charles Exum allegedly texted after shooting a woman in Chicago.

🧵 1/7 Tomorrow marks three months since the tragic and terrifying shooting at CDC Roybal.

The gunman was fueled by dangerous conspiracy theories about vaccines.

💔 Officer David Rose died protecting us.

President Trump has never said a word.

Helping an indigenous farmer survive seems like crucial work in Palestine ❤️

““For a state that claims to be a Jewish state for all Jews,” said Strober, “if you just show up one day and stand in support of Palestinians by doing something as basic as picking olives together, actually, then your Jewishness is irrelevant.””

'I'm proud of this one': Mayor Ken Sim talks budget with $50 million more for police amid property tax freeze | CBC News In his final budget before facing voters next October, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is presenting a property tax freeze, and $50 million more for police, balanced by major cuts to arts, culture, community ...

“In his final budget before facing voters next October, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is presenting a property tax freeze and $50 million more for police, & major cuts to arts, culture, community services & sustainability.”

Brutal austerity for everything else, but $50 million more for over-budget cops.

Tear Gas, Pepper Balls Among Weapons Deployed Against Illinois Protesters A judge recently issued a restraining order on crowd-control tactics by federal agents in the state, including those involved in Operation Midway Blitz.

Federal agents in Illinois used tear gas, pepper balls & excessive force against protesters—including near a children's Halloween parade. Bellingcat verified 28 incidents appearing to violate a court order during immigration raids.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

Zohran Mamdani knows how to win Not just in New York — Mamdani's campaign shows how to inspire voters nationwide

The Democratic establishment's ugly reaction to Zohran Mamdani reveals an unpleasant truth.

They would rather lose elections than change.

The addiction to rich donors and consultants is killing the party. But Mamdani shows a path out. An analysis.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Trump’s swift demolition of East Wing may have launched asbestos plumes There is no confirmation that the Trump admin. followed abatement processes.

The East Wing was originally constructed in 1902 and was renovated in 1942, a period when asbestos was used extensively in government buildings.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Beware Zohran Mamdani's Critics With False Accusations There is an inherent danger in conflating Israel with the religion of Judaism and, by extension, conflating criticism of Israel or Political Zionism with antisemitism.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

🔴 REPORT | Israel is preparing a coordinated media campaign ahead of foreign journalists’ entry into Gaza for the first time after two years of genocidal killing and destruction, according to Israel’s YNET.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Trump Isn’t Easing the Shutdown Pain—He’s Inflicting It Mike Johnson says the president is protecting Americans from the shutdown. That’s completely wrong.

"It’s comforting to imagine that a president feels our pain. But Johnson can’t hide the truth: Trump is a sadist, and his strategy in the shutdown has been to break the Democrats’ will by hurting the people they represent." ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social:

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

Kristi Noem claims that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. We're calling BS.
