Trump Appoints New Head of Immigration Courts

If this wasn't so awful, it would be funny. Trump and company are literally the gang that couldn't shoot straight!! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/u...

We must not stay silent. See you on October 18 and every day. Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social

Trump and his minions have disobeyed so many court orders. Why is no one being held to account? Can't Immergut charge them with contempt, as Boasberg and Xinis should have? What will it take to enforce court rulings? We are living in a dictatorship where the despots do whatever they want.

ICE out of New York march in Washington Heights today. Onlookers were enthusiastic in their support.

Weekly U.S.-Mexico Border Update: government shutdown, human rights abuse in the US, Mexico "caravan" - WOLA The government shutdown will have little effect on DHS’s very active border and immigration enforcement operations.

Our outrage must bring an end to this inhumanity.

H.Res. 719: Honoring the life and legacy of Charles “Charlie” … -- House Vote #282 -- Sept. 19, 2025 House Vote #282 in 2025, in the United States Congress.

How can Democratic House Members who consider themselves progressive rationalize their votes on H.Res.719? Of course he should not have been murdered; political violence is never acceptable. But you cannot honor a man who spent his life spewing racist, sexist venom.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Important! This says it all. Thank you Ta-Nehisi Coates. Brilliant as always. My one quibble is allowing the anti-choice movement to co-opt the language and call themselves "pro-life". www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

@sulliview.bsky.social Do you still think we should keep our subscriptions to the WaPo? I am not being sarcastic and would really love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks.

Methinks Jeffries might be afraid of AIPAC. And if he self-identified as a progressive, he’s delusional. Hochul twisted herself into a pretzel since Mamdani’s impressive win in June. Think she’s worried about being primaried for governor?

Exactly! It wouldn’t be worth the paper it was printed on. Thank you Senator. Can we get rid of Schumer and make you minority leader?

I love you Will, but as a Mets fan, I’m asking you to please take it down a notch. This is very difficult for us.

That is absolutely correct. She could have done that and didn’t. It is a shocking decision.

In no way am I supporting Coney Barrett, but we really don’t know which Justices voted for this. Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence that no one else signed. We know that 4 or 5 Justices agreed with the decision, but he is the only identifiable one. She is still awful but might not be guilty this time.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social if Trump doesn't fire Kennedy, start impeachment proceedings Tuesday morning. Republicans can't stop you. Force them to vote! @normornstein.bsky.social

Just watch the first few seconds of the video. He stepped out of the car without resisting and moved a couple of steps to the place he was told to move to when one of the stormtroopers threw him to the ground and five more of them piled on him. What possible explanation can there be for that?
