Time to Name Names Nayib Bukele is directly responsible for the systematic practice of torture in Salvadoran prisons, the extension of the state of exception, and the detention of his critics. He long ago ceased to…

Evidence of torture, beatings, starvation —even the deaths of babies in Salvadoran prisons— is undeniable. The press and human rights organizations have documented it in detail, and it’s even been cited in US courts. beta.elfaro.net/en/el-faro-w...

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

Border Patrol slammed the burbs this morning while Bovino was in court. Now they're patrolling the city. Multiple people detained in Humboldt Park. A Blackhawk has been circling the north side. Just watched a FB live from Berwyn end as an agent backed into someone behind him, then detained them.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

The Tea Party never reached the magnitude of No Kings. Yet it was covered as if it represented “real America,” just like MAGA today. Those are not empirical assessments, but articles of faith – ideological claims about the world that are widely shared in the American mainstream discourse.

In this piece: The New York Times did not think the No Kings protests were all that significant – which is indicative of how much mainstream institutions have bought into the idea that only Trump and his supporters represent “real America” and have a right to have their message amplified.

It's over 6 months since 36 (or more) Salvadoran men were illegally sent to CECOT- no due process. Human rights abuses are commonplace in that torture prison.

Be a voice for these men. Speak out to your senators, reps and faith communities.

These are sons, dads, partners, husbands.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

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.

When the GOP loses the crazies. 😳

Attorney General Pam Bondi came before the Judiciary Committee today.

But she refused to answer a raft of important questions.

On Tom Homan's bribe.

On Donald Trump's new luxury plane.

On January 6th pardons.

On illegal strikes in the Caribbean.

On Epstein.

The stonewalling was staggering.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

¡Sandro!

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

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

Sí. Me pidieron matrimonio cuatro veces antes de que conociera a mi esposo.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️
